Thankfully no microsoft, but I do have to use google workspace.

at least i can sandbox it to a web browser? small wins...

are you complaining that smaller devs get a bigger cut than larger devs? That's certainly an interesting gripe...

Smaller devs have to pay 30% of their revenues to steam. If a game sells well enough, their revenue share increases and steam takes a smaller cut, 25 or even 20%. This greatly benefits publishers of big games and unfairly punishes smaller developers. I think that's a perfectly fair gripe.

Forgot about steam's forced DRM on purchases. Forgot about their inconsistent policing of content in games they sell. Forgot about steam not wanting accounts to be inherited when you pass away. Forgot about their 30% cut for small devs while bigger devs get a smaller cut. Forgot about a lot of things.

The drivers run OK, but because they were not built for my distribution with the right flag, when I sleep and resume my system, I need to log out and back in to the desktop or else it bugs out.

Is this the drivers fault for not having that be a default flag? The maintainers fault for not using the correct flags? Waylands fault for not interfacing with the driver right on resume? My fault for having the audacity to want to use the sleep function?

I have no clue, but it doesn't happen with the open source nouevau drivers, so I'm inclined to place a fair bit of the blame with nvidia.

Sugars and additives are in nearly all foods, maybe we should stop asking manufacturers to disclose it on the ingredients list.

Going purely by the illustration, pass it to the next person because they have a track with no-one on it

it took me far too long to parse this sentence. I kept trying to figure out why the grandparents calling their grandson on the phone was relevant to the story

I shifted my desktop this past month, happy to be part of the extra fractions of a % point.

Ubuntu 25.10 finally seems to have resolved a lot of the issues I've had in the past, so I think this shift will be permanent.

I first read this as MPEG and thought they were talking about the video encoding.

I wish they were talking about the video encoding.
