Instead of “No worries!” he heard "No, worries!*

Do you really not know who your family likely voted for, or your roommates? People like this don’t need a registered ballot result to make an inference that lets them act violently; unless he’d had the foresight to play at being a Trump convert months ago, I think this story is extremely credible.

Dead? Really? Cuz Portal and Minecraft are my kids’ top two games!

Mine has been docked for months at a time. I recently started shifting it to be near the kids when they’re home; but not undocking it wouldn’t strike me as strange at all.

And if you’ve been letting Steam store your save data, you should find that your save files for most games will still be available in Linux! Mileage will vary per game of course, but jumping between OSes has been pretty seamless for me!

True! I’ve been too focused on our local politics lately!

Well, until the President decides otherwise, anyway.

My SteamVR games run poorly on Linux. They do run, but it’s a much rougher experience than running them through Windows.

It’s frustrating, because otherwise Linux is my primary gaming system!

Step away from hardware constraints for a moment, and consider the OS:

If the OS says a file is deleted, under no circumstances should the OS be able to recover it. Sure, certain tools may exist to pull it back; but it should be unavailable to the OS after that. And yet, apparently a software update was enough to recover these files. Thus, the concerns about data safety in an environment where the OS cannot be trusted to remove data when it says it has been removed.

I’d be happy with just the silver spoon, myself.

Straight to victim blaming?

I do think some of this is just fatigue. The usual way to deal with this is to either pick one or a few things to try to actively address, or just buckle down and wait for things to improve. Both lead naturally to a situation where it’s hard to get a critical mass of people to respond on any one subject.

The agreement that was a pop-up you could only accept?

My dog answered that before I got a look at it. Is that legally binding?

Often you can still find out what it does, but the “why” gets lost and because of that people are afraid to change it.

I feel like this is what gets lost whenever documentation is talked about. Yes, you should probably be able to work out what something does by looking carefully at it - but why can be so easily lost!

This isn’t hate for the investors, but for what they’ve pushed for. Discord was already profitable, this is just driving enshittification; per the article.

I would rather say it’s “predictable”, rather than “understandable”. Perhaps even, “no better than we can expect”. Calling this “understandable” tends to normalize greed for greed’s sake.

Yep, airships aren’t overpressurized like a balloon - any leak will be extremely slow, as the heavier ambient air gradually displaces the helium inside the airship through whatever hole might be created. As I understand it, one of the big maintenance issues they have is even finding the holes from normal wear and tear. The usual failure scenarios involve storms with huge pressure changes.
