Wow. I wish this was my friend. :D
- Comment on Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter 1 month ago:
“People started seeing Bluesky as something to run to, away from Twitter,” Dorsey said
This quote in context regarding all the rest makes it clear he didn’t understand what people were running from. Unless he intended it to be like Truth Social and thought folks were running towards that.

People LOVE to shit on Linux gaming, and for some of those people it seems to have really offended them when it started to get better. I hope I live long enough to get to the point of “Why are you carrying all that overhead by running Windows for gaming??” to be the standard trolly comment, instead of “Linux is no good if you want to game!” as it is today.
I have no doubt that we will reach this point unless PC Gaming as a category evaporates in the meantime.

I’m not normally a big fan of “I told you so” but I wish I could roll back to some ancient forum posts from the early days of Proton and SteamOS and tell some of the surprisingly aggressive naysayers that seemed to crop up in every discussion of them back then to have a look at this.
- Comment on Jeopardy! Boss Breaks Silence on Mayim Bialik Firing, How Ken Jennings ‘Really Won the Job’ 4 months ago:

However, executive producer Michael Davies recently revealed at the 2024 Television Critics Association’s winter press tour “Unscripted Storytellers” panel that Jeopardy Productions was already looking into bringing back Mayim Bialik for some version of the show.
Despite the firing, Davies defended the former host (per Variety), saying, “Mayim is a superb host. We hope to continue working with her on primetime versions — this conversation is ongoing.”
While Davies did not give any specifics as to when Mayim Bialik might return to host Jeopardy, it is striking that a “conversation” is happening at all, considering the storm of controversy that surrounded her entire tenure on the show.
Interesting turn of events!
