I think it’s because businesses tend to focus on super easy access, user interface and user engagement first, while open source projects tend to focus on tech and often forget about the end user experience.

This strategy has been working pretty great for oil companies. They’ve managed to extend their existence for decades.

Coax used to get faster than 100mbps. We are in an age where 1Gbps is standard in many parts of the world thanks to fiber. Again, starlink is cool but not a direct competitor to cabled internet today.

I don’t have complaints, it’s just not a comparable technology. It has much lower bandwidth and way higher latency for a higher price. It’s good for its purpose which is to give access to people that could not get it otherwise.

Do I have to say it? Starlink is much worse in every metric compared to fiber. It’s a decent option for people that don’t have access to fiber or need internet in remote places.

The thing just launched. There will be stock of it if only people waited a bit. The fact that people need it this second is what makes the scalping business so successful.

In the end it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that what I get as a result is relevant. No ads, no 3rd party interests, easy filters, customizable and useful output.

Isn’t Bazzite just Fedora with more stuff baked in. If anything, Bazzite is supposed to be even easier and more compatible.

Your confusing them with Bostown Dynamics. Understandable mistake.

No idea about privilege, but when I was struggling to find a job, that was a lesson I learned as well. Instead of applying only to 100% fit which is what I was doing, I started applying to the 50% and everything in between. This increased my chances of talking to someone at least, but also increased the amount of work I had to put in applying to everything. But just like in sales, after you get that first call, the chances of getting somewhere are much higher, so some things have to get flexible to make it happen.

Been PC gaming on the couch for years now, either using a controller, trackball and 75% keyboard or a steam controller. Mouse pads are for work only as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t understand it so it must be bad.

That means you get the chance of playing the game in exchange of your data or not playing it at all because you live in most of the world where Sony accounts aren’t even available.

They will ask you to log in to a Sony account.

Spinning platters are already dead in many ways because even though they’ve increased in capacity, they haven’t meanigfully changed read/write speeds in decades, which makes moving the ever increasing data a huge pain.

Not trying to be rude here, but this was my second result searching “Emily LTT”.

She left LTT this year.

Spain has had one of the most supportive governments in Europe so this feels… excessive?

Its as easy as looking up the teardowns or scans of the most popular VR headsets. They have their batteries in the front.

But they said ARM.
