The future is even more bleak. Touch screens only, no desktops. Only tablets everywhere. Everything on the cloud, everything locked down. Sideloading is banned, jailbreaking illegal. Everything runs on iOS or Android. Gen A will love it

Most SteamOS users aren’t interacting with a bash shell or anything though, they’re just running steam in big picture. If it’s valid to say that SteamOS introduced people to Linux because the kernel happens to be Linux, then it’s equally valid to say that about Android, which has had a much larger impact than SteamOS has

Yes but I don’t know if there’s anyone out there who would install SteamOS on their desktop, vs just using it on steam deck. I know people in this sub certainly would, but I don’t think normies would go out of their way to do so without official buy-in from Valve, and they got out of the steam machine business

Lol, obviously it’s terrible that business are pulling out of the US, and in the next few months we will begin to learn what the 1970s were like, but I’m just glad I already have mine

Rich in Canada means you can buy Tim Horton’s without even checking the prices on the menu

Good thing I got mine already!

Even with SMS, idk why people expect an immediate response. My dad texts me and if I don’t respond in an hour, he starts spamming me. I don’t think there is a single piece of technology out there where people should expect the recipient to be constantly reachable.

I don’t know why people think this is true. Just because you message me on slack doesn’t mean I’m going to see or respond to it immediately.

No because docker is not actually a VM

Docker is not a virtual machine, it’s a fancy wrapper around chroot

Postal Employee: “May I help you?”

Kramer: “Yeah, I’d like to cancel my mail.”

Postal Employee: “Certainly. How long would you like us to hold it?”

Kramer: “Oh, no, no. I don’t think you get me. I want out, permanently.”

We should ban phones for kids under 16 OUTSIDE of school

It’ll save money, I don’t think it’ll look nice

I feel that you’re making the argument that we should compromise on the humanism of prominent and uniquitous pieces of art so that we can print t-shirts more cheaply. You can of course make the same argument about the building costs of modern boxy paneled apartments and office buildings, but that still doesn’t make them any less unpleasant to look at.

I feel that graphics designers (or really, brand managers), over the last 30 or so years, have made daily decisions about the cost effectiveness of something at the expense of beauty, and we now live in the most bland, generic, and tasteless era in modern history. What does a graphic designer even do anymore, besides copying other graphic designers?

To be clear, AI is not the answer. But intuitively, a colored, shaded, 3 dimensional logo is more appealing to me than another flat, generic, 1 dimensional line illustration that says literally nothing about your brand identity.

tbh I prefer a logo with lots of colors and gradients, depth, lighting, etc. These ugly ass flat or outline logos have really ruined things

You are wrong. North America is a continent, and South America is a continent. Of all the countries on these two continents, one is colloquially referred to as “America” by everyone who isn’t an internet weirdo. Absolutely nobody else in the western hemisphere refers to themselves as “America” or “Americans”

What do you mean

I was a vim user for years and I disagree. At a certain point, vim with plugins cannot compare to visual studio or clion

Microsoft’s development tools are first in class IMO, but not much else

I think Linux lacks a good Foss alternative to visual studio, unless you count vscode.
