Reflecting on my first year running solely Linux (as opposed to dual-booting), I think that this culture comes from the fact that, on Linux, problems can more often than not be solved. If not solved, then at least understood. When you want to change something on Windows, or something breaks, you have far less room to maneuver.

When I was a Windows user, I’d barely ever submitted a bug report for anything, in spite of being very tech-literate. It felt hopeless, as my entire experience with the OS was that if a fix would come, it’d have to be done by someone else.

Linux treating its users like adults, produces users who are more confident and more willing to contribute.

For real though, someone developed this feature. Like, how soul-crushing must that be, developing such blatant anti-features.

Why fix, when you can sell?

“This change is designed to create an easier way for Outlook and Microsoft Teams users to reduce task switching across windows and tabs to help stay focused,” says Katy Asher, senior director of communications at Microsoft, in a statement to The Verge. “By opening browser links in Microsoft Edge, the original message in Outlook or Teams can also be viewed alongside web content to easily access, read and respond to the message, using the matching authenticated profile. Customers have the option to disable this feature in settings.”

I don’t know if this is a neurodivergent thing but I 500% could never see myself in a position I could say something I knew to be such BS and put my name to it.

The pricing Reddit is charging is obscene and would mean that Apollo would be forced to pay $20 million per year to keep the app running. Other popular third-party apps would have to pay similarly outrageous costs. It’s clearly a blatant attempt to run them off Reddit so the site can force users to use its first-party app instead.

I wish all articles covering the debacle but it at clearly as this.

The car game I spent the most time with and therefore have the most nostalgia for is Burnout Paradise.

Errant Signal did a great video on it that reflects on a lot of what I love about it.

Not played them but Dusk and Ultrakill I think?

MandaloreGaming’s Dusk Review

RockPaperShotgun for PC stuff.

Thanks so much. I’ll definitely check him out.

Never heard of it. Thanks.

Love me some Brutalism so you might have convinced me to try it.

It’d be bad enough if this were just another AAA over hyped deal.

This is literally Bethesda. What are these people smoking?

If this gets us another Internet Historian video on the fallout, then this is worth it.

• Pun unintended.

+1 I would appreciate some encouragement to try out DD.

With the blackout, I see the Gaming community will be assimilated into the LinuxGaming community and I’m here for it.

Adding a post here to encourage people who haven’t played it yet to wait until Phantom Liberty drops. It looks like it’s going to massively improve a lot of the base game. That’s what I am going to do.

Tbf that’s because it’ll be rushed and unfinished.

I would like to have it explained to me by someone au fait with GameDev as to what’s stopping a smaller studio going after something with the scope of Morrowind or Oblivion.

Bethesda are so blessed to have their own unique niche that’s so stupidly popular.

My feelings exactly. As far as I’m concerned, I’m happy to use Lemmy for scrolling from hereonin but I’ll visit archived info on Reddit, once the blackout is over.

My word, I figured it had to be a coincidence. I hope some of the fat-cat stakeholders are starting to catch wind and sweat at all this MSM coverage.
