The big one for me is linux support, followed by steam input remapping. Input remapping, turbo, combo / chord buttons is incredibly important for accessibility.

> The common retort is that these don't exist any more Usually when I see the retort, its also with the understanding that 3rd places need to be free, or essentially free. If there…

I agree. My enjoyment of my career as a software developer dropped dramatically about 10-15 years ago when "agile" started taking off. Even in some of the companies I worked at tha…

I have no metrics on this, but I've been seeing/hearing of scrum popping up in all sorts of places, not just in software but in other firms where it doesn't belong. For example, my…

There are other ways that AI can hurt the job market in major ways. One, already happening, is AI-generated resumes based on the listing itself, causing HR departments to waste a t…

Its been a nice 25 years, Mozilla browser(s). So long, just another old guard leaving for new pastures here.

6. Orthodontists often put braces on young children, as early as age 6-8, even though in many other countries (like Korea), the average age is around 18. I’ve read stories of peopl…

Ugh. Yeah going to a dentist is very similar to the average person going to a car mechanic. You just have no good way to self-verify what they are telling you is true. Its one of t…

A huge problem with touch UIs is the lack of mouse-hover discoverability. At least with desktop applications that don't have labels on UI elements, usually a hover will raise a too…

From a consumer perspective, Valve is the only one that comes close to deserving that cut. Between Proton, Steam Input mapping, Remote play, Family Sharing, etc... they are by far …

Yep! And even if you did manage to have a decent job, the effort of keeping it led to extra long hours and stress. I was entering early career right after the dotcom bust and it wa…

Exactly. In theory, I have no problems with a Steam competitor, but the extras Steam gives, plus its support for linux is just unmatched. Input binding, support for non-standard co…

Not exactly your target for the question, but thanks to Proton I have fully switched to linux for both productivity and gaming. Other than a few games with invasive kernel-level an…

Dark mode has basically become unusable for me as I've aged and my vision has gotten worse due to uncorrectable/partially correctable astigmatism. Black text on white-ish backgroun…

Nice! I recently perma-switched to linux and KDE has come so far from its v3 days, where to be frank I just didn't like it much. Definitely enjoying it now though. Its very usable,…

Windows 11's disaster of changes had already pushed me to decide to go full linux on my PCs, this was the straw that got me to stop being lazy and actually execute on that decision…

Most important part of a major version phone OS update these days is which devices are no longer supported.

While I understand for many people that may be a positive, I spend very little time watching shows on such a small screen. Thats what my TV is for! A 16:10/16:9 ratio on a tablet m…

Biggest issue for me and why I stick with ipads is the 4:3(ish) aspect ratio. 16:10/16:9 is a terrible aspect ratio for tablets IMO.

Last I checked (admittedly its been a while), buying an album from Amazon music usually gives you access to DRM-free MP3s

While this person should definitely get treatment or at the least isolate per the court order... Why is this treatment that can cost from $50,000-$500,000 something a person can be…

You know how you guys have universal health care and all that? Thats part of it right there. If the US raised taxes to that level and didn't increase the life services being delive…

Linux or not, I highly suggest trying Krita instead of GIMP

Since you seem to be informed here, how would one look for places like this that are explicitly not hot & humid, or nearly tropical locations? Effectively a climate and geography f…

Check out Grim Dawn if you want that old school Diablo feel
