Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck
  • Ahem... thanks to me.

    I recently made Steam run on my Debian PC.

    Win10 has one more year and I need to make preparations. Now I'm ready to ditch it to have more space for games.

  • Fast food prices are fucking insane {late stage ruleism}
  • Ffs make your own burger. It takes a few minutes. Toast a sesam roll. Fry some meat with salt and pepper with cheese on top. Cut an onion, tomato and add some mayonnaise.

    That's all. It's more tasty than those horrible McD burgers. And at least you know what you put inside.

  • German carmaker Volkswagen says forced labour in one of its sub-supplier's plants in China was not identified as 'no full supply chain transparency exists'
  • It's so easy to work around an audit. Companies lie. Auditors are being bribed. Everything is based on trust.

  • Queen thought Meghan’s wedding dress was ‘too white’ as Sussexes mark 6th anniversary
  • You know posting a harmless remark by someone which in my opinion is not worth to be published is the core of the business of the yellow press.

    We are talking about taste here. And some people have opinions. I just tried to reflect about this opinion.

    Otherwise I don't really care how the bride looks like.

  • Queen thought Meghan’s wedding dress was ‘too white’ as Sussexes mark 6th anniversary
  • Many people see a violet/blue shade as more white. There are some chemicals that reflect ultraviolet light for this effect.

    The point is, it looks cheap. Maybe that's what she meant. It's the same with chalk white teeth. They are also weird. There is a natural white like "angel white" that is often used. It's more yellowish and not that reflective.

  • Worth the effort to obtain a copy of MS Office on the high seas? *SOLVED
  • I still don't really know what you mean. How a document looks like depends on you. I've got very many fonts available, much more than average Microsoft Office user has. And it's easier to use LibreOffice from my point of view, because it emphasizes structure. It looks much cleaner by default than MS Word. The only thing MS Word is better in is typesetting. LibreOffice simply fails to place letters properly.

    Documents produced by office suites are not really good for publications. They are very annoying to handle, no matter if it's MS Office or Libre. The cheapest option to have something professional is LaTeX.

  • I recently replaced MacOS with Linux on a MacBook. And next year my last installation of Windows is going to be deleted. I absolutely hate this ad-infested crap they want to distribute.

  • Every single free operating system made sure in the 90s that not a single line from commercial OSes like Unix persists in the kernel and userland. The idea is Unix, but not the code.

  • I don't understand why ODT is complicated. It's a zipfile with inspectible data. The standard document is also not as vendor-specific as MS OOXML which is thousands of pages that everybody gave up upon.

  • Worth the effort to obtain a copy of MS Office on the high seas? *SOLVED
  • It's because it's not the native format. How does MS Office show/edit ODT documents? Does it work better?

  • Just saw this while getting gas. Why is it illegal to get less than 4 gallons?
  • "We don't care about service and quality. Oh, and we make it be your problem."

  • Why Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back
  • If the car is safe (checked every year), you know the rules (that are in the law) and behave safely (keep the rules), not much can happen.

    Also 300 km/h is quite rare. 200 km/h is not.

    It's basically the same as with nuclear plants. They weren't safe to run, because the rods were old and they couldn't prove that storages are safe. And people voted for parties that support clean energy, especially doesn't produce harmful waste.

  • Why Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back
  • There is some nuclear waste that Germany wasn't able to bury for over 30 years, because not a single site is safe. Maybe earthquakes and tsunamis aren't the only problems.

  • Why Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back
  • You forgot the latest one at Fukushima just 13 years ago. The costs of this catastrophe are estimated twice as high (~0.5T USD).

  • Why Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back
  • The problem is the waste. Germany has radioactive waste and it couldn't find a suitable place to deposit it for over 30 years. I think it's still somewhere on rails or in temporary storages. It's horrible and they don't want to collect more of it.

    Here is more about the problem that no one talks about: https://youtu.be/uU3kLBo_ruo

  • All Fritz Box modems have been hijacked
  • That's a bit overreacting... Sure it might be a problem when someone doesn't recognize their own router web interface and the domain name was highjacked.

    But, come on. You can still use the IP address and your router is still safe, if you react accordingly.

  • systemdeez nuts
  • You don't want it until something fails. SystemD often doesn't let you log in to fix it. It just shows a "infinitely bouncing asterisk" and hopes it will magically get better.

  • systemdeez nuts
  • I had numerous situations where systemd didn't let me abort a hanging service startup during boot or stop during shutdown.

    So what do I do now, systemd? Wait till infinity??

    That never happened while using other init systems. Because they simply fail properly ("sorry I did my best to stop this, I needed a SIGKILL finally"). Or simply let me log in: "sorry, some services failed to start and now it's a huge mess, but at least you can log in and fix it.".

  • systemdeez nuts
  • You forgot: use as many dependencies as you need. For example, my init system does not use xz-utils.

  • EU wants to undo Brexit, a little bit, for people 18 to 30
  • The best was the discounted membership. UK paid less than Italy. Populists have easy way with fools.
