I’ve managed to run some old games on Linux with Bottles/Wine that didn’t work on Windows anymore.

IMO the “year of the Linux desktop” will come when distros are designed for people who shouldn’t even be allowed to use sudo.

The copyright thing doesn’t bother me much, but the absurdly inflated hype and pushiness from the companies does, and using it at this moment only feeds into it. Probably after the bubble bursts I won’t feel bad about using it.

I recently used one “agentic ‘AI’” to help writing unit tests. Was surprisingly productive with it; but also felt very dirty afterwards.

The funny thing is that the person who approved the law increasing the prison time for that crime was… Bolsonaro.

Why is Dune even considered good sci-fi? It’s more fantasy than Star Wars. Except for maybe replacing the ornithopters with blimps, you could change everything to a pseudo-medieval setting and it wouldn’t change anything in the story.

The Dune books.

OK, not boring, but nowhere near deserving the praise they get.

I’ve only managed to get through the first two.

I hate that this pun only works in English.

free market means consumers are free to choose where to buy from, it absolutely requires government regulations.

When I got a beagle I was warned that the race makes for great alarm dogs, but terrible guard dogs, they will bark a lot and then become friends with the burglar.

Yes! The beta was much more fun than the full release.

It being abandoned by the devs is a bit sad, but at least it means great mod stability.

For Brazil I’d suggest Curitiba or Florianópolis as the safest and most likely welcoming. Other cities might be more welcoming but less safe, or more safe and less welcoming.

Peertube still needs improvements to start looking attractive.

While it is technically federated, using it still feels like it’s just a bunch of small disjointed sites.

Only works in written form. Unless the alien says the number as one-zero.

Also, in a bijective number system, every base is 11. (they don’t have 0)
