I don’t understand the need for any such clients in the first place. Steam is used to sell you games, and install/manage/run them for you.

But unless you’re a child you shouldn’t actually need any of that. I’m perfectly capable of going to Factorio’s web site, buying it, downloading it, and running it. On any platform it supports.

That’s not a critique of this software project, I bet it’s cool. I just don’t need a middleman between me and video games. It’s the store that wants to sell me more and more and more or the publisher who wants that.

It’s typical. At least one Windows kernel developer is an asshole as well.

Fucking watch me.

Nazis bad. <- note the period that makes that a full sentence.

Don’t use substack. Or Twitter.

Oh look it’s some more shit I didn’t ask for from what used to be our last hope. Fuck your enshitification, Mozilla. You were the chosen ones. :(

0x0 must be for 0 compassion and 0 IQ.

No that’d be the executives, you dickhead. Hey - please remember to breathe.

Well put. I was mad at first and then immediately remembered that they’re not wrong. :(

Stop fucking using twitter. Stop posting about it, stop posting things that link to it. Delete your account like you should have already.

Meh. Google Gemini has given me great medical advice always couched carefully in “but check with your doctor.” and so on.

I was surprised too.

And adding advertising to various parts of the OS.

Hey, Microsoft: de-shitify your OS if you want it to be more popular.

The best therapist in the world can still end your career by causing your clearance to be revoked or rendering you unqualified for your unit’s mission.

(Suicide is a big problem in the military, I lost a buddy to it.)

The cheapest therapist in the world may still not be covered by your insurance. (And nothing you write in reply will alter that.)

They should work to make AI therapy better while keeping it totally anonymous. If it were really good it would be the number one use for running a local and disconnected and air gapped LLM: perfectly private therapy with no “we just use telemetry to improve our product” bullshit.

Then maybe a lot more men would seek help/talk about their thoughts and feelings.

Also talking to ChatGPT, if done anonymously, won’t ruin your career.

(Thinking of AD military, where they tell you help is available but in reality it will and maybe should cost you your security clearance.)

RFK jr’s wants, needs, desire to continue breathing move me not at all.

He can fuck off.

If we had a science-backing and non-Nazi government who I had any belief in their ability and will to keep our data safe, this might be really cool. When I first got an Apple Watch and saw all the ways it benefits me I honestly wished everyone had one by default.

Instead, something like this would simply be used to further control people especially women since it can track monthly cycles (to my knowledge at least.)

I cannot stress enough that I would download a car.

My self hosted projects have someone to appreciate them - me.

Marketing means bothering people. Two of the raspberry pi’s I own are dedicated to fighting unsolicited marketing. Marketing is anathema to me.

I mean that’d be neat if I gave a fuck about handhelds in general or the Legion Go S specifically. I don’t. How does SteamOS do on my AMD 7950X3D with my 4090? Oh it doesn’t support those? Then it can fuck off (for now).

I mean they’ve done a good thing in general but it requires such special hardware that it doesn’t really deserve much praise. The whole attraction of Windows originally wasn’t just “it has a GUI” it was, "I can buy a printer that works with Windows and a piece of software that works with Windows, and know that I will be able to print from that software, and so forth. Without that level of hardware support, SteamOS just isn’t that exciting. Again, “Yet”.

… that I didn’t ask for and that you probably won’t let me turn off. Thanks for nothing.

“Paid search engine” <— no thanks.
