I'd have preferred the inverted-T layout of recent MacBooks too. But because this keyboard does not have a numpad, it could be easy enough to find the bottom left corner of the key…

system76 does not develop special Nvidia drivers, but they do work on integrating GPU switching etc. in the Linux desktop: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/ I don't think t…

I love Slay the Spire 2, it is a very good game, but it most honestly doesn't look or feel technically impressive.

Agreed, the tech job market was bad before AI was useful. The "I'm gonna make a tool" thing is slowly happening and will probably help Linux, knocking on wood... https://x.com/xpas…

They did still overpromise and that should not be the way Apples does things (although it was hardly the first time; the AirPower mat was announced in 2017).

Many gamers are married to Windows exclusive games like Fortnite etc., but gamers are also more rebellious than corporate IT staff and many have actually built their computers from…

Not just battery life, but also webcams and mics. Sure, you can use additional gadgets...but being able to open your MacBook and just talk to your coworkers is reason enough to kee…

That is not what I said at all. My claim is that, regardless of what the authoritarian right is doing, the left has become more tolerant of authoritarianism itself, especially to '…

To adults? Certainly. But keep in mind that many children are now growing up with this crap glued to their eyes from age 2: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=funny+3d+an…

Have you dived into the destructive brainrot that YouTube serves to millions of kids who (sadly) use it unattended each day? Even much of Google's non-ad software is a cancer on hu…

Being able to replace the keyboard is especially wonderful because laptops are usually "region-locked". I know people who use relatively unpopular layouts relative to where they li…

It seems that no modern comment section is complete without the complaint "too much politics", then followed by "but everything is political". Some talks do not even try to draw a …

We might be the same age; I remember that defacing conservative websites was already a C3 thing about 20 years ago. Back then, it felt good to punch up against authoritarianism. Ha…

The cable makes the claim that Calibri did not actually help anyone, and even backs up this claim with numbers. So how is it aimed at minorities? Who is prejudiced against people w…

That is also easily disabled. I think there are five or six things that I need to disable in a fresh Brave installation and then it's perfect.

Neither do I, but what about YouTube? Not letting your TV manufacturer sell your watching habits is already a big win, and on macOS you can further block telemetry. A big chunk of …

SteamOS/Bazzite also makes it pretty easy to integrate flatpaks into its gamepad-oriented UI. I hope that leads to the development of more apps that work with a remote control or g…

The Steam Machine will support CEC, hopefully other PC vendors will take note and adopt it.

Yes, a true "mask-off moment": I do find that classic LaTeX papers look more trustworthy than whatever MS Word outputs by default. Associating TNR with authoritarianism would not e…

From the article: > ...according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters... The jab at the DEIA is petty, sure. But if the only intent was to smear them, why didn't they ev…

The irony here is that Steve Jobs _did_ actually think about fonts. Sure, he certainly didn't think about Times New Roman, but I disagree with the idea that someone at the top shou…

From the article: > A cable dated December 9 sent to all U.S. diplomatic posts said that typography shapes the professionalism of an official document and Calibri is informal compa…

This indeed. In the last couple of years, I've had to re-read a whole lot of sentences because I read it as the wrong Al/AI in my head at first.

Many people have one or more Discord groups where someone will say "let's play Valorant tonight" and then everyone just installs it. Linux is fantastic for local gaming on a handhe…
