I liked the little demon with sneakers better.

With chickens.

What’s this warning thing? (for those of us far outside of the Apple ecosphere)

Cool, I’ve always wanted to get back into Perl.

Ionos used to be 1&1 which had a fairly poor reputation. Not sure what it’s become nowadays. Apparently they haven’t gotten much better.

Desktop mode is a nice extra because Valve are generally nice. But it’s not what the purpose of SteamOS is. It’s just an aside. The same way you can get a shell on your wifi camera. And you could run some silly servers on it. But that’s not the point of your camera.

2 cameras, face to face. And you go to the movies.

SteamOS is just there to run one single application: Steam. Users see absolutely nothing of Linux. It could be running MacOS or BeOS or TempleOS and it wouldn’t make the slightest difference to them.

Not that it’s a bad thing, it confirms that Linux is stable and mature and that you can use it for an appliance, but that’s pretty much it. And yes, you can bypass the Steam interface and run a KDE desktop (is that the UX you think of? it’s available on any Linux and pretty much any Unix-like desktop), which is nice of Valve to have included. But except for the .1% who will toy with it, there isn’t really much point (and yes, I did toy with it end enabled ssh, and added a few gadgets). I still wouldn’t install SteamOS as a desktop system though. That’s not what it’s made for.

Wouldn’t it be simpler if he just ended citizenship? Then he could freely oppress just about anyone.

We call them the “little lips” (which is a direct translation of labia minora btw) in my language and I don’t believe we’re losing anything there.

It is, but properly naming things isn’t something Internet users are very good at.

Who was happy when their parents came home, and who sometimes peed their pants from sheer terror?
That’s a real distinction to make.

I don’t think Google had anything to do with it. Unless if they are part of jpeg, which is entirely possible.

It’s not clear why they used another format, maybe someone’s boy(girl)friend worked on it.

It should have been replaced by a 20mm turret.

I shudder to think what the 1908s and 1970s McDs looked like in the US.

Mexico would probably have a lot more land.

And might have ended up being a way less fucked up country.

Some peopple just don’t want glasses.

That’s probably a factor as well.

It should be JpegXL, but WebP isn’t an inherently bad format.

You can always count on the tobacco companies to turn a useful tool into something evil.
