I’m just waiting to be able to download a house.

My programming experience is Matlab

Wow that takes me back

I don’t know what games other commenter has, but my understanding is that there are a lot of issues with anti-cheat software not working properly with Linux.

Although I don’t really have a direct interest in buying a Steam deck, I’m hoping that its popularity helps push for games to be more Linux-friendly.

You’re not going to get “improvements” in Windows, that should be clear by now.

This is the crux of the issue. Holding out for improvements … that aren’t coming.

I have Windows 11 and am unlikely to change this computer (though who knows), however I absolutely plan on my next build being Linux. I might start tinkering around in a VM.

Stop using Chrome

I’ve honestly come to despise air travel. I take one round-trip per year; I’m not giving up visiting family and it is too far to reasonably drive.

Oh it absolutely is

Bold of them to assume I use Google when googling things.

AI has it’s place, but they need to stop trying to shoehorn it into anything and everything. It’s the new “internet of things” cramming of internet connectivity into shit that doesn’t need it.

The argument is that humans can drive with just 2 eyes, so cameras are enough. I disagree with this position, given that the limitations of a camera-only system. But that’s what it is.

Different sensors excel at different tasks and different conditions, and cameras are not always it.

Good luck. They’re fucking everywhere, at least where I live.

this makes me never want to bike in the US again.

I live close enough to work for it to be a very reasonable biking distance. But there is no safe route. A high-speed “stroad” with a narrow little bike lane. It would only be a matter of time before some asshole with their face in their phone drifts into me.

I am deeply resentful of our automobile-centric infrastructure in the U.S. It’s bad for the environment, bad for our wallets, bad for our waistlines, and bad for physical safety.

But that just means that viewing it is opt-in rather than default. Since most people probably won’t bother to install those apps, the farmed karma won’t be worth squat.

I deleted my last alt account last week. I’m done.

The enshittification of Reddit continues on.
