- Comment on DuckStation dev dropping support for Linux 2 weeks ago:
He doesn’t 1) install, 2) approves any bowl, 3) or should he. He can refuse to make bidet seats any time, but prefers wașiki seats instead.
He directly provides releases for Windows x64/ARM64, Linux x86_64/ARM32/ARM64 (in AppImage format), and macOS. He also explicitly forbids modifications, and since he considers “pre-configured settings” to be modifications, and this is basically barring any other distribution.
So while ultimately you’re right in that he doesn’t install it himself, he provides a super-simple “do it yourself” kit for people who live in apartments, while making anyone else who lives in a house have to assemble it from a million separate pieces themselves.
Note that I’m sympathetic, and I don’t know what the solution here is, but hopefully everyone figures it out…

My take on a better analogy:
The bidet maker is pissed because people complain to him that their bidet is leaking or has cracks. He’s annoyed at a distribution/installation company because they fumbled, so he’ll handle installation himself but only to the houses he approves.
Oh, and the bidets are free and nobody gets paid a cent.
- Comment on Smaller rally/racing games I recommend you try! 5 weeks ago:
I feel you, I’ve spent so long grinding drivers licenses and playing absurd cups like that. Unfortunately not many options, and even Motorsport was… meh.
Project Cars 2 is a frequent recommendation, but it’s delisted. Then there’s mods for other games, like automobilista 2, but not official. I wouldn’t expect much from AC Evo either, with how the launch was basically online-mandated and the series not having much of career mode…
- Comment on Smaller rally/racing games I recommend you try! 5 weeks ago:
I appreciate the post and the recommendations, but none of these games scratch the same itch that Forza Motorsport is meant to scratch.
The alternatives are the competitors like ACC, Gran Turismo 7 or iRacing (possibly race room) - games focused on the realism and online competition.

Fake news. Remember, TACO.
- Comment on CEOs Are Creating AI Copies of Themselves That Are Spouting Braindead Hallucinations to Their Confused Underlings 1 month ago:
Exactly my question. More often than not, I’d wager on AI making the right call instead of the arrogant, power tripping blabbering dimwit who got to CEO because he’s got absolutely no scruples or morals and absolutely zero shame and will sacrifice anything for his goal of hoarding more wealth.
It probably has less hallucinations.

Yeah but at what point does it just become a pc with a controller…
- Comment on Kevin Hart Says He Won’t Host the Oscars Again: Awards Shows ‘Aren’t Comedy-Friendly Environments Anymore’ 1 year ago:
If you have to rile the audience to be funny, you’re not funny.
But there is a “gray option” here. I read this as “you can rile up the audience and be funny, just not if that’s the only thing you do”, in context with the previous point that this sort of humour is overused and loosing its impact.
- Comment on In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"? 1 year ago:
This isn’t the reason, it doesn’t matter if Hamas accuses them or not.
They’re considered hostages because Hamas wants to release them in exchange for something.
Israel imprisons Palestinian as a punishment or to achieve specific goals that are not met by releasing them (like preventing political prisoners from engaging with society).
I don’t think either term is morally superior to the other, but they do have some different connotations…
