You should try it again. I had a similar experience to you about 5 years ago and completely gave up on game streaming.

However, I had a cold a month or so ago and wanted to play Oxygen Not Included from the couch from my old-ass Linux laptop which couldn't run it. I set up Sunshine and Moonlight in about... 5 minutes? And it "just worked". And worked well. I was able to play perfectly, and that is including my host machine being on WiFi even though all the documentation says use Ethernet if at all possible (which ofc would be better).

It was honestly the most magical thing I've done with technology in the past few years.

Disclaimer: this was only for local/wifi streaming.

Did they walk back that thing where certain language features could only be used by the Elm team? That seemed like a language-killer to me.

Unfortunately the AI bubble means we are witnessing the death of PC gaming. Watch the GamersNexus video, The Collapse of Personal Computing: https://youtu.be/zyQwAhppWj8

Costs are driving manufacturers out of business. Essential components for PCs are becoming out of reach for the average consumer.

You will own nothing and be happy.

Yes, I tried saying this to both GingerBill and Casey on Twitter but they were unreceptive. I understand their frustrations and I think Wikipedia does have sourcing gaps for projects like Odin. But you can't really understand the spam problem until you've seen it firsthand, and general case notability requirements are one of the first lines of defence against bad actors.

Encyclopedias are not designed to report on pop culture. The entire nature of an encyclopedia is to be downstream of good secondary sources, ideally academic, and summarise what those good secondary sources have said about specific topics.

Side note, it is very funny that the same people lamenting the state of Wikipedia seem to be desperate to have their topic included on it. If the site sucks, why care about it so much?

Interesting article (I tend to agree with you re SNG in the programming field). But unfortunately I couldn't easily absorb the substance as your site needs some work on mobile:

- text completely overflowing the background

- body text is arguably too small

- the masonry grid layout of posts does not work visually

- footnotes appearing out of order

The content is rendered unreadable by the LLMs sentence construction. Secondly, it's insulting. If you didn't care enough to write it, why should I care enough to read it?

You don't see how adding functionality that requires writing to the database rather than just reading from a cache could "drastically increase database load"?

Edit: I was incorrect / non-American, I was thinking of your FAA.

If you couldn't be bothered to write it yourself, why should I read it? The same goes for the overly-complex components that express the same idea over and over again, but somehow without adding any clarity.

I think we can agree that when they're executing innocent citizens in the street, the agency is no longer effective.

Nobody cares about the DMCA guardrails and they are never meaningfully enforced. Case in point, Anthropic DMCAing thousands of repositories that simply mentioned the word "claude".

Orbital data centres are a stupid concept.

What are you talking about? X is exclusively the domain of terminally-online people.

How is that worse? Leaving it open signals to anyone searching about it that's it's still an issue of concern. It will show up in filters for active bugs, etc. Closing it without fixing it just obfuscates the situation. It costs nothing (except pride?) to leave "Issues (1)" if there is indeed an Issue.

Not every topic will be covered yet. While *The deadline is now* is an essay, *WP:NOTNEWS* is policy — and inherent in an encyclopedia.

Recent Wikipedia articles are kind of an oxymoron; Wikipedia by design is meant to be a tertiary source, downstream of both news media but also mainstream scholarship. The problem is that it's "an encyclopaedia anyone can edit" — and that inherently means a rush to create or update articles when news outlets publish something novel.

While news media is an acceptable source, proper peer-reviewed journals and other scientific publications are preferred. People would do well to remember Wikipedia is NOTNEWS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_no...).

Unfortunately to survive the next few hundred years, we may need another dictator of human behaviour than what the market wants.

Rewritten *into* Flutter? People should be rewriting away from Flutter.

That's a useful strawman for this issue, but you know as well as I do that none of those bogeymans were anywhere near as transformative as the smartphone. They were not networked, they were static, and they had limits (eg. TVs limited programming). They are incomparable to a never-ending firehose of stimulus, algorithmically engineered to be appealing to your personality and optimised for "engagement" (read: more screen time).

Does this argument then reinforce the value of government news orgs like we see in Australia (ABC) & England (BBC) - if England's was to exist without the draconian tv licence? Edited: I didnt mean impartial but rather non-commercial, updated.

can you elaborate?

Wow. This sort of obstructionism is what convinces people Open Source is not worth the time and effort. Really disappointing. As someone else said in that issue, "perfect is the enemy of good". Thousands of KMs of road are currently not VISIBLE on the map due to stonewalling.

As someone who has been in a fair few discord chats with soldiers, I'd beg to differ...

For $150 I want a native app

If you sincerely believe this, you've tinkered enough that the massive knowledge barrier that is Linux seems like nothing to you.

I would never sit my 70 year old mother down in front of a Linux machine. We're not at "caring that video files download too slowly" - we're at "how do I put a file on a USB".

How does it affect Boeing? I suppose in terms of service contracts and the like, but haven't the airlines bought the planes already?

Why does this seem ridiculous? There are more national companies than international companies, by a large factor.

I'd probably reach for playwright to do something like this. The form seems structured enough that you could easily hack something together.

This seems like a cop-out by one of the largest companies in the world to avoid giving back to the tools and languages they use to extract their profit. If you're worried about funds mismanagement, assign some oversight, add a distribution schedule (5m over 5 years) and so on.
