Crazily enough, MLB has actually taken a big step in the RIGHT direction this year: it’s launched a new service for many teams where you can get access to just that team’s games, directly from MLB, without blackout restrictions.

Unfortunately, I don’t see Linux ever gaining widespread adoption. Not for general desktop use.

In order for that to happen, Linux would have to gain enough market share to actually be a threat to Microsoft’s business, and when that happens, Microsoft is going to respond one of two ways: actually making their products more appealing, and regain their lost share, or (far more likely) REALLY ramp up their efforts to suppress Linux’s growth. And I don’t think Linux has the strength to withstand the full weight of Microsoft’s legal and financial power.

Soy sauce in lieu of salt, for pretty much anything liquidy. Gravy, soup, pasta sauce, what have you.

The brutal reality check seemingly hasn’t put Peretti off from pursuing AI, though. He now says he’s hoping to bring “new AI apps to the market” this year.

No, that’s the “responsibility” part.

Generally, I think it’s hubris for someone to think they can educate their kids better than a professional that’s trained for half-a-decade or more. And the most-common fear, that schools are “indoctrinating” kids, is easily countered: just be fucking involved in their lives.

That being said, the real world is always more compicated than theory. Parents should have a right to choose this path, coupled with a responsibility to adhere to the same educational standards as professionals.

Basically anything by Ado. This one’s probably my favorite.

Tell you what, I’ll just link a couple of recent posts/comments from elsewhere:

Vast improvements. No regrets. Still working through a few growing pains, though.

No no, nothing like that. There just seems to be a baseline attitude in the blog post that monetization is the end goal of all OSS. Like, the idea that OSS developers deserve to be compensated fairly for their work, I fully support, but I don’t read that as the argument being made here. It reads more as “OSS is no longer a viable way to make money, so I’m going closed-source.”

There’s a big difference between being an adult and seeing everything exclusively through the lens of how it can be used to turn a profit for yourself or some other capitalist.

No shade at all on this guy’s expertise or work, or even the point about LLMs being made. But based on this I’d have to say this is not written by a software developer. This is written by a businessman in the software industry.

Alternatively, buy the physical copy and just torrent a digital one.

It’s a hobby that allows for a LOT of different types of creative expression, does not require any monetary investment to get started in, or to pursue long term, and even has a small chance to MAKE you money, if it turns out you enjoy it enough to purse that end. It has the potential to make a GREAT hobby.

I fail to see where in this article they present “The Real Reason Kim Davis Never Stood a Chance”. Unless they mean the whole bit about “Obergefell is entrenched as precedent, and widely supported by Americans”, in which case, that’s horseshit. This SCOTUS has shat on much older and much-more-popular precedents than this, with no hesitation, and no valid reasoning.

Don’t be fooled that they’re the ones responsible, and just went against the Democrat leadership. There’s a REASON that all of them are retiring, and can’t be voted out. Schumer and his cohort WANTED this, knew people would be pissed, and arranged the votes to minimize the fallout.

Elden Ring will always be pretty special to me, but as far as being FUN, it’s not in the same league as Nightreign.

It took me like 3 tries to get into it, and even then, I respect it more than I enjoy actually playing it, these days. If it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing.

GTA. All of them, but especially 5.

Are you me and your friend is also me?

This sounds a HELL of a lot like my scenario. I swapped to Bazzite from Mint on account of NVidia/gaming issues, and IMMEDIATELY noticed a big improvement, but I’ve had a handful of issues dealing with the flatpak of JetBrains Rider, and Firefox for that matter.

One thing I figured out early was to configure permissions to allow Rider to access the filesystem outside of its sandbox. That seems to be not something that flatpaks are setup for, by default.

More recently, I found that flatpak sandboxes don’t inherit PATH or other global system variables. Which makes sense, but I haven’t figured out the solution yet.

I would definitely take a shot at another KDE distro, cause I also have liked KDE/Plasma (that’s what Bazzite runs, right?) more than I did Cinnamon, but I don’t know anything about what Bazzite does to get great NVidia performance for gaming, or how I might replicate it on a non-immutable distro.
