- Comment on Finally escaping Windows, ironically thanks to AI 1 week ago:
Haha well that reveals that you just never read it then.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
They said they already went through this once before. Also you assume that “it’s weird” is some kind of vicious attack but it’s not.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yeah now that I look back there are more than like 3 people not mad/rude about it.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Getting mad is kinda just what social media does
I would say it’s what the Internet does. Post a question on stack overflow and you’ll get the meanest responses each one telling you you’re stupider than the last. Same vibes in this thread.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I was just taking issue with the responses ignoring the context given, and rudely. If I say I can’t use something and why (and that why is other people’s opinions) it’s super unhelpful to angrily tell me why those other people are wrong. It’s irrelevant if they’re wrong or not. I think I could’ve overlooked whether it is relevant or not honestly, but comment after comment saying it, many of them with a shitty tone, is why I commented.
- Comment on How do you sort your music? 2 weeks ago:
I’m working on a script that checks my files, dir structure, and audio metadata for issues. For basic problems that can be fixed with a command, the script outputs a suggested command in a csv. I’ve cleaned up many issues with the script so far…
Been thinking of sharing it but it’s still very much a WIP.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
OP is relaying an opinion they got from multiple people and frankly an expected one. You got weirdly mad at them for it.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Firstly, sorry you’re having this problem and sorry the responses here have been nearly universally unhelpful and aggressive. This is a pretty perfect case study of what I don’t like about the fediverse. There’s a lot to like about this place but what drives me nuts is the unhinged and reality-divorced types who cannot understand something so simple as normal people thinking things are weird. Half the respondents here think you should scream at your coworkers about this and/or quit. You asked an incredibly reasonable and relatable question and mostly got shat on for it. Just wanted to say that someone sees how ridiculous it is, not everyone here is lost completely in their own (hateful) world. Sorry I don’t have a solution for you.

I hope your order is shipped soon! I really like this device. The experience has been pretty smooth so far, the performance is better than anticipated also. It functions well and it looks beautiful. The thing is tiny. I’m just running the stock SteamOS. I did not know windows was even an option on these actually.
- Comment on Quake Champions goes from free to paid, with no more content updates planned 3 weeks ago:
Ah, ok. Didn’t know that.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. I think it sounds expensive when you compare it to consoles, but for me, building a gaming pc, even before I checked prices, seemed like $1000 wasn’t too bad. Especially knowing that meh graphics cards have easily been over $200 and a decent power supply and motherboard also could exceed $250 themselves. I mention those two components because I have gone as cheap as possible in the past, majorly regretted it, and had lots of issues and costly replacements which are very not fun. I would suspect a valve product is unlikely to suffer from issues like that, which to me is worth at least $100 just for the piece of mind.

I am curious if you bought it. I ended up buying one myself and it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. I went looking in this community for any posts about people getting them and yours was the closest I found. Surprisingly little chatter about these things on Lemmy. I’m kind of excited about getting mine.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
still possible to build something much more performant for the same/less money especially if you compromise on size (although this is less true every day)
Really? I was looking at building a PC instead of getting the Machine but every build I came up with was steep. I admittedly didn’t thoroughly research everything but I did feel like I was picking lower tier parts and still was looking at well over $1000.

I thought QC meant QuakeC, the language John carmack made to code game logic in quake 1. Was so confused for a moment haha
- Comment on Quake Champions goes from free to paid, with no more content updates planned 5 weeks ago:
Other than quake 3, the quakes have all been subpar after the first one. I liked aspects of 2, but 4 was trash. Quake live is just a revamp of 3, and quake champions is okay looking and kinda fun but starting to charge for it is the opposite move I would’ve expected because it’s just kind of okay and not many people will pay for it.

I’m so silly. I saw this and thought, oh cool a teeny tiny surprising win. Guess I should only be happy with the destruction of all LLMs.

A moron is recognized by most. Congratulations, you’re famously so.
- Comment on Linux back over 4% in the July 2026 Steam Survey 2 months ago:
Every fucking weird claim you make about Linux is so stupid/false it’s not worth the effort to disprove. All you are is a idiotic troll with nothing better to do than shill for corporations. I guess you left your safe space where you control the narrative because you banned everyone from countering your beyond-stupid lies there.

Interesting. Thanks for that explanation

What does that look like? I hadn’t noticed anything happening during a call so far, then again I don’t do a lot of calls.

Agreed. This app is pretty solid.

Yeah I checked and my kernel version is a few patch versions back from the minor version you listed. Bummer.
- Comment on Linux security flaws Dirty Frag and Copy Fail are a good reminder to stay up to date 5 months ago:
I appreciate this! I had assumed everyone was pushing a fix soon if not already but you may be right that it’s sort of the opposite.

Which isn’t fixed?
