The problem with days old threads is I never remember the context. Looks like they were asking if Steams data would be more reliable. Tbh, I think Steam is great for gaming stats, not for general use stats. Statcounter supposedly uses what the browser reports when participating websites are visited.

I’m happy to see more Linux gamers don’t get me wrong. Steam is specifically gathering specs on people who game, the other stat counter (that reports 4% Linux use) is based on what people’s browsers are reporting.

Steam is only installed on one of my computers, I have at least four running Linux. Not to mention plenty of Linux users don’t game at all, so probably not.

I think it’s less the network’s fault, and more on where someone chooses to spend their time on the network. If you’re on Facebook, it is in their interest to piss you off so you stay and fight. But plenty of other tools exist to connect folks online without being manipulative.

It’s like fire, nuclear energy, or most any other tool. Use it right and everyone benefits, use it wrong and people get hurt.

When I was younger I wasn’t sad because I was online, I was online because I was sad and felt out of place in reality.

The cough isn’t the cause of the cold, it’s a symptom.

Also, I gained more empathy the older I got. So you probably need a bigger data set than your own experiences.

This appears to be more geared towards experimentation. Super interesting and more relevant to the article for sure though!

In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Hippocratic Oath saying it didn’t cover the latest developments in medical practice.

I’m just… gonna go scream into a pillow in the corner now.

YO LISTEN UP HERE’S A STORY

I think you’re missing the point.

When someone is outwardly hateful toward others for things outside of their control (race, gender, ability), that’s generally viewed as intolerance.

Tolerance, is me recognizing you have the right to believe whatever you want, and letting you do so, as long as you’re not obstructing anyone else’s right to do the same.

The paradox is basically saying a negative reaction to a hateful behavior, is not itself hateful. Identity politics doesn’t agree, and makes those who identify as hateful (knowingly or not), feel hated.

Violence is a further escalation of things that the concept of tolerance inherently tries to avoid.

Can you provide any examples of this? Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.

If you tolerate intolerance, intolerance will rule. It’s literally a paradox by definition.

The “left identity” is wanting everyone to have healthcare and education to struggle less. The “right identity” is quite loudly screaming about hurting the people they don’t like.

“The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.”

Never even heard of The Register before right now. Been using Firefox for most of my life. This checks out.

They are tired of right clicking Command Prompt to “Run as Administrator”. They’ve been doing it for decades, they can have one tiny piece of QoL improvement.

I’ve always read it as a mix of “Federated Reddit” and “Fed up with Reddit”.

It’s something I can’t avoid, however I can limit it a bit. Elden Ring shipping with EAC is unfortunate, but I trust From Software a lot more after they took down DS3 to fix an RCE exploit. Sure EAC could turn on them, but I feel like a good publisher would be lawyering up the second that happened, especially if it resulted in their game damaging their customer’s hardware.

Edit: not suggesting anyone should install rootkit DRM games, just sharing how I justify living with the ones I already have.

Right? I just switched to Linux full time. I was excited for this game, now it may as well not exist for me.

Path of Exile has a lot of good grind to it. Every league added mechanics, and a bunch of them went core over the years. Also, if you haven’t hit the Guiding Lands in MHW, the grind gets real there.

SSL cert expiring stopped access to updates. That’s not just bad press, that’s poor form overall, especially for an Arch-based distro. Even worse, this happened while certbot exists, so there’s no excuse. It tells me they are less reliable as a distro, especially to have let it happen twice.
