I am guessing the ultra-Elon fanboys managed to convince themselves that it’s a 4D chess move or something. That dude had an insane cult following, there’s some where I am not sure there’s anything Musk could do short of murdering a loved one in front of them that’d make them change their mind.

Which would be particularly wild given that nexus mods is run by a British company.

Sadly it’s probably nearly impossible to get representative data but I am strongly suspecting the majority of cases of things “randomly” breaking are either because of rando stuff installed from the AUR, or messing with things without understanding the implications of doing so.

I suspect they didn’t want to make it sound alarmist or something, but yes the real percentage is likely going to be higher, including a good chunk of “technically finished but remaining unused and forever idle on some box until it’s quietly shut down 5-10 years later.”

I could see some exception for windows 11 IoT being made, but I honestly don’t know.

Genuinely kind of surprised they only met now, one would have thought that in over 30 years they would have run into each other at some point at some conference or other.

Conversely, I have seen this opinion expressed a few times. I can’t judge the accuracy but there seem to be more than a few people sharing it.

Oh absolutely, the moneyfurnace wikimedia foundation needs to find ways to justify its own existence after all (^:

Your custom FOSS rom won’t prevent the very much proprietary modem of your phone from communicating with the celltower.

Did the same thing the other day, there’s like some minor icon redesigns? Otherwise this mostly seems like people made up stuff.

I presume because due to it releasing in September, it’s lifetime will mostly lie in 2026. But honestly Idk, I am godawful at naming things.

Yup, and people seem to frequently underestimate how ridiculously expensive running a fleet of humanoid robots would be (and don’t seem to realize how comparatively low the manual labor it’d replace is paid.)

Yup, op has never had the joy of the docs lying to them.

Well in that case simply import antigravity

Frankly, no, they all come with some caveat.

By sinking ludicrous amounts of money into the „metaverse“, which turned out to be an utter flop.

I‘ll take the plugin installing over fucking around with pycharm jars to get it to actually eat dependencies any day. I am amazed about the bullshit the Intellij fanboys are willing to put up with, I would rather do everything in vi.

Mostly found it very unfun, I recognize that the math behind it works really well, but playing it always sort of gave the impression of most stuff just not doing all that much. The expected result from what I could tell is that you always sort of scrape by, enemies will usually succeed in their saves etc. From what I understand this seems to be a reaction to the arms race PF1 adventure paths were. I just found that ultimately these things just made the game feel unfun. I am certainly not 5e’s biggest fan, but I would rather have that (or the jank of a Shadowrun 5), than the constant feeling of ineffectiveness PF 2 gave me. This got marginally better when I swapped from Witch to Kineticist, but still ultimately didn’t fix my dissatisfaction.

Personally I hate pathfinder 2, still, if they managed a clean implementation, extremely impressive work.

Luckily I wasn’t even using the UI in the first place, still, not a good sign and probably something to look into for replacement.
