I'm sure they'll go back to being Win-only very soon. They must be cutting their corners and letting go any unprofitable parts of their business and that obviously means us.

When I click on "The Wheel of Time" link FF warns me of a potential security threat listing a adtraction domain. Not cool.

Yesterday I was upgrading Ubuntu on an old Core 2 Duo machine with a mechanical laptop drive.

I wasn't surprised that it took 2 mins to boot, though suspend is rock-stable there so it'll rarely be a problem. But FF takes almost 40 seconds to start. Because it's a snap. I didn't have time to switch to FF from the repos, but do you know what I think about snaps and Canonical's decision to make FF one? I think you do.

Because immutable file systems?

My experience is the opposite of Liam’s. I grew up with computers, always seated at a desk. My first console was in 2001, followed by a number of handhelds from Sony and Nintendo. I can no longer play at a desk, a couch+TV or a handheld all the way. I’m really hoping the SD will help me with my huuuge PC backlog.

The REAL question here is should we (as a species) cater to the least knowledgeable individuals or work to increase general knowledge? The former certainly makes it easier to govern.

Yeah, I don’t agree with gog here. They should keep selling the games and donate all proceeds they make from those sales to Ukraine. And put up a big banner telling their Russian costumers they’re doing it, let them vote with their wallets.

I’d rather open up the SD and replace the stick than “just grab” a very expensive switch controller that’ll have the same problem after a while ;-) And I’m saying that as someone who has paid for new Switch controllers and who also has successfully opened them up to fix the drift.

Still, good news it’s just a software issue, those usually are much easier to fix. And Valve definitely need stricter testing standards.

Not in a position to support Linux?

They make it sound like it's some kind of huge expense or hassle. :sad:
