- Comment on Strategies and advice for transitioning out of Apple's ecosystem of devices? 1 week ago:
One pitfall I see people fall into is expecting to find the same level of polish and convenience that Big Tech has in Open Source alternatives.
Trying to find a Macbook, iPhone, or macOS, but it’s Linux is going to be a fool’s errand. They’re different worlds and you shouldn’t expect one to work like the other. Some things have no equivalents and you will have to give them up. Don’t give into the loss aversion. These were traps from the very beginning. You’re just noticing them now. Focus on the newly gained freedom. You’ll have to learn to like freedom more than convenience traps and shiny UIs.
Having said that, Linux has definitely made huge strides in being more user friendly, but realistically, it’s not as seamless as those billion-dollar corporations.

I GOT AN EMAIL!!! OMGOMGOMGOMG!
When we did the one-time randomization of the list, your place in line ended up beyond the number of units we’ll have in this production run.
As we work our way through the reservation queue, some customers may cancel their reservations. If that happens, you may be moved into the reservation queue, and you’ll be notified via email that you have a reservation after all.
This is the only email you will receive about the results of the randomization. If you ended up with a waitlist spot for one or more models, you’ll be placed on the waitlist for the model that you were closest to the front of.
Awwww…. damn it. 😢

- Comment on Valve Steam Machine Review - Gamers Nexus 4 months ago:
- Steam Machine is a mid gaming PC.
- You could DIY a similar or slightly more powerful machine yourself for cheaper, but not that much cheaper.
- Your DIY would probably not be as small or as quiet though.

See ya in 2027… 👋
