In the list of things nobody cares about, you forgot "actually do what's asked". Use these tool for a very short while and be amazed at how bad it is to do things that are extremely well known and documented.

It doesn't detract from the parent's comment at all.

I'm going to use base π from time to time.

If there's two things that have been consistent over time with the recent LLM and AI craze, is that it have some good, helpful applications for people with disabilities, and that none of the big players are looking into them. Some are actively working against them. Probably because it's harder to monetize "living" from a PR perspective.

I'm curious, do they fire all sysadmins on days where everything goes smoothly and rehire new ones the day after?

Indeed. None of the crazy things that happened in the last few months stopped. Unfortunately.

Distracting people from what is happening is NOT what you want.

It'll cost $25 to produce. Selling cost is another matter entirely.

I might be missing some piece of information, being outside the US and all that, but isn't the Supreme Court stuffed with politically-biased people that are old, over conservative, showered in money on the regular, for life, with zero accountability for anything they do or don't do?

Because I have no idea how anyone would see this as "politically neutral".

Yeah, wayland good, etc etc.

Now we're at the point where wayland is becoming the only option, while there are still some things that don't work well, like showing up a modal, opening a context menu in a window that wasn't in focus, copy/pasting from non foreground UI applications… All this under KDE, which is somewhat large in terms of good DE.

I understand the argument that if we have to move, we have to start the move at some point. But I'm not sure we have to move. People keep telling X is a messy dangerous unmaintained eldritch horror sucking on your souls every seconds, but as a user, if moving back to X fixes all the tiny weird issues and shows no obvious downside, it's hard to justify the switch.

First, I said "the init process". The systemd project reinventing the wheel at every occasion is half garbage half "yeah, it's not horrible, but we're going to iron it out again for the next decades" level of horror. You won't have to convince me of that. And don't get me started on "binary" logs that sometimes takes dozen of seconds to just show up when requested. But the management of services is an overall improvement over scripts stitched together.

I'm well aware of these discussions.

But systemd management, and overall presence, is not something most people would care about. From a user perspective, the system boots, and things works (mostly). To non admin user, running a systemd system or a sysvinit system or whatever is irrelevant.

Interestingly, the two example you shared (Sonic Unleashed and the whole Sonic franchise being bad) are likely a good example of "hanging with the bad crowd". Unleashed is… not great, in my opinion, but the whole franchise? Please. We're not talking Sonic06 level of horrible decisions.

Another view on this is, if you enjoy something, and people have to tell you it's bad just so you know, it can't be that bad. People enjoy different things, and seriously, the toxicity of large communities is the worst thing ever. At this point, even with what seems to be "unanimously loved", you'll be able to find a large enough group of people happy to tell you it's shit.

With that said, some games are really, really bad. But these games usually don't need to be pointed out for people to know.

edit: dang, that was full of typo.
