Do literally anything but use foolproof desktop apps in a system that cannot revert to a known state.

No, I don’t thing scrubs / balances resume on boot up, they’d have to be started again.

Oh yeah. I’ve started Marvel Midnight Suns, and 4 hours of cutscene later they show how you deploy on a mission: by walking on a rainbow bridge or something. I’m like: “brilliant, now that’s a way to disguise loading with something I’m doing, even if it’s just walking” , and then, at a random place of that bridge, an actual loading screen appears for a good minute. What’s wrong with you.

Native Tab Grouping

I’m old enough to remember previous native tab grouping.

Not all, but almost all of them. 1 (one) megapixel display, wider than my laptop, heavier than an extra phone with the best gamepad on earth mounted to it. Steam Deck has a long way forward to even match my classroom gaming experience from 2014, let alone surpass it. Aya Neo Air, GPD Win 4, there’s so much better hardware out there it hurts.

What’s so concerning about the alternative?

Nope, that was about trains. Planes came up later.

Yes, and I’ve personally taken three-day same-country trains before, back when it was the cheaper option. And guess what, non-private planes are also public transport.

If there was a functioning public transport, they could just, you know, meet.

I think the joke is your public transport.

How does it look like in a proper 80x25?

Now when we have Matrix, we also need to deal with rescuing people from a NIH protocol designed around a property nobody needs.

Google + Slack is pure unadulterated garbage. Gotta wonder what Teams is like if you suddenly develop nostalgy for a flaming dumpster.

I can’t even make it through the maze of your thoughts. Being sponsored by people who make killing utensils = bad, while being sponsored by people who literally kill = good? This is beyond logic.

NixCon Europe gets sponsor money from a military company. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever had a knee-jerk reaction, because not only they were having such a nice peaceful day before getting reminded that military exists, and they themselves are sponsoring it, while, clearly, in the enlightened world like ours military = bad, “every rifle made is money taken from good causes”. Also, wars are something that only happens in history books anyway, not, say, present-day Europe, amirite? Tons of internal value dissonance, fediverse buzz and free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

NixCon NA gets sponsor money from the same company, because the value proposition of the previous PR stunt was so sky-high, it’d be negligence to not repeat it. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever are reminded once again they don’t have a slightest say say in what they’re funding, so they try their best to not get funded back with their own money and bury their heads back in the sand again. Tons of free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

Now the foundation publishes a sponsorship policy, the community debates whether it is or is not enough to prevent said military company from diverting funds from the stuff they find so revulsing and towards the stuff they are so excited about. This round of free PR is on the house.

What’s gonna happen next, we all wonder.
