Defintiely! I recently bought a used Thinkpad and slapped Pop!_OS on it for my father-in-law. He’s 73 and he’s loving it! He proudly tells his friends that he is now “a part of a computer revolution”.
He should be paid double for the amount of work he puts into those ads
It’s honestly so weird that you can just take up public space with your dumb-ass car, that is not even in use 99% of the time.
Voting days should be mandatory holidays
I don’t think this about trying to close it, but rather put a big fat sticker on everything that comes out of the box, so consumers can actually make informed decisions.
I really like the idea of Nebula, but the way they market themselves as “creator owned” without being an actual workers cooperative seems deceitful (still much better than YouTube, though!)
It’s so gods damn good! Perfect game for the Deck too
All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck, so there’s no need for a giant console cosplaying as a router.
The way the presenters had to talk over the voice to interrupt it was awkward as hell. It also seemed to pick up on background noise from the audience often and interrupt itself. That makes it unusable in loud public settings (which imo is great, I hope it will never be socially acceptable to chat loudly with your AI in public).
I had a Galaxy Note 10 die on me after just a little over 2 years (such a shitty fucking phone) and then, swearing I would never pay so much for a phone again, switched to a Motorola Edge 30. It cost less than a third of the Samsung, and it even came without the bloating bullshit. Highly recommend it.
It had to do with encoding which works out-of-the-box in the Studio version, and not at all in the free version on Linux. I could’ve solved it by using something like Handbrake, but I didn’t want to add the extra step to my workflow. I also bought my Blackmagic 6K second-hand, so I’ve been wanting to properly pay them for their awesome products for a while now anyway.
Made the switch to Pop!_OS from Win10 half a year ago, and my machine’s been purring like a happy cat ever since. All my games still run (thanks, Proton!) and some even had a significant performance boost (RDR2 being the best example) with a 3090. Only problem I had was getting DaVinci Resolve to work properly, but I caved and bought the Studio version which runs perfectly.
I’ve been playing the Hades 2 beta recently, and I keep thinking about how incredible it is that this game is already better than any AAA title I’ve played in the last like 8 years. And it’s still in beta and made by just 23 people. Call of Duty, FIFA and the like will keep the big studios running for a while, but indie has definitely overtaken the industry and I’m all for it.
I’ve made a couple of games in Godot over the last year, and watched this video yesterday. It’s a really, really good intro to the software. So much covered in just an hour, with a good balance between doing things the easy way, and doing things the correct way. That’s often a hard balance to achieve in gamedev/programming tutorials.
Glad to hear it! Can you add the donation link to this post as well? Best of luck with the remaining healing
Yes! So glad to see developers sticking to their principles and switching for good. Every time I’m working with Blender or Godot I feel like I’m living in the future I’ve always dreamed of.

Guys, I think age is making us boring. I also personally prefer black rectangles and soft neutral lights, but I think we’re the bories.
I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.
