What am I missing out on? I don’t mean this in a mean way, I think you are correct that I don’t know and am legitimately curious.
I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

Thanks!


Is the controller a limited run kind of thing or does valve intend to continue selling them indefinetly?


Thanks for calling yourself out so that I know I should never ever go there.
Grow some ethical backbone.
Its pretty modular for workflow and layout in the contemporary. Would recommend checking out the trial version to see if it looks alright to you now, or otherwise just watching through some videos.
I’m not sure actually, though it would make sense.
Nothing for me. All the games I care about run great, I’m much happier with my UX/UI using KDE Plasma, I’m very happy being able to use a bash shell in a terminal emulator of my choice, etc.
Look into Bitwig if you haven’t, it is kind of ableton-like in that you can pretty much automate anything with anything else - fully cross platform as well.


Big time, guy very likely has had a god complex his entire life but it’s probably also being driven by the LLM echoing back to him that “you made me and im AGI and therefore you are the greatest engineer of all time”.


The minority of Vivaldi is closed source from what I have read actually - specifically the stuff they have that makes its fancy UI work, but someone can correct me with a citation if that is not true.
They state that about 95% of it is available to be read where 92% of that is open source from Chromium, 3% is open source from Vivaldi themselves, and the last 5% that is not available to be read is Vivaldi’s UI.

Still far from open source or free software, but better than most people would think. I guess you would also have to trust them that it really is just the UI.


True enough.


If you don’t need stuff publicly accessible, and just need it accessible to you, then set up a small computer on the network as an ssh Bastion host/jump server, put it on a VPN connection with a VPN provider that offers dyndns, forward the ssh port through the dyndns, and then off network, reverse proxy in with socks5 via key based ssh -D to gain access to all the services available inside the LAN.
Been doing this for a few years, works great and no one is getting in without my ssh key.


I feel similarly especially about remmina, though as I understand it this is not necessarily the fault of Wayland but of the various applications and drivers not offering or having been developed to support wayland yet (I’m quite sure this is the case of Remmina anyway).
It’s too bad because on Debian 13 here wayland actually speeds up the general interface for me - if it weren’t for these shortcomings in-app then I would be running it for sure.
I would hope plasma’s decision pushes the application developers to catch up a bit.


Or worse is probably right:



I remember working IT, and every other week there was some announcement that looked like this:
Microsoft Pro Plus for Office is now Office 365 plus for Business
Office 365 Office Pro is now Microsoft Office Pro Plus
Office Dynamics 365 for Business is now Office for Business Pro
Microsoft Windows Home Office 365 is now Windows 365 Home Plus
How anyone still manages that fucking licensing is beyond me.
Final straw?

So it was contradicting itself and would not update no matter how many times I would hit “check for updates” over the course of a week.
So not only was the system not functioning correctly, but I could no longer trust it was going to be secure from third parties.
I had intended to switch for some time before then for a litany of reasons but this definitely convinced me to stop wasting any more time and I moved myself and family over less than a week later.


Under ~ I usually make ~/Application for flatpaks/appimages etc, ~/Script for any kind of script I write in bash, python, or whatever else, ~/Audio for audio/music production stuff, and ~/Games for emulators and such. ~/Documents is reserved for actual documents containing text data usually.


I won’t buy a phone with any fewer than 16 folds.


Go use actual Debian, I game just fine on it.
I use the same and for the same reason of wanting it to be tailless.
