Comment Not just great news for gaming handhelds... (Score 3, Insightful) 29

...but for Linux in general. I never imagined I would see Proton build up the momentum that it has but it's remarkable to be able to play the latest AAA titles without paying the Microsoft tax. I never thought I'd be playing Clair Obscur in Linux Mint.

I am also quite happy with the Deck but it's great to see healthy competition in the handheld gaming market. Valve isn't trying to stamp out its competitors. This is how innovation thrives. (Fuck Nintendo.)

I earned the "curmudgeon" achievement 100% on my own. I feel odd enough wearing a smartwatch though I do find it very useful for NFC key card access where I work.

I don't doubt folks would find smart glasses similarly useful but having "AI" shoved up the ass of every electronic gadget I own... what consumer is asking for this?

Tell us honestly, do any of those things affect your day to day life? Go ahead, post as yourself and not as AC.

I've heard more whining about things like DEI, gender ideology and "critical race theory" from right wing media than I have ever seen any of those things affect the day to day life of "centrist folks" as you say. You've allowed yourself to get sucked up in a whirlwind of buzzwords and sensationalism.

I'll assume your reference to a president with signs of dementia is ironic humor, because holy shit dude, pay attention.

I love to see increased Linux adoption as much as the next Slashdotter, but this article is about MS 365 cloud applications, not an operating system. And unfortunately, this change will affect users regardless of what OS they're using.

The year of the Linux desktop has been heralded for nearly 30 years on this site every time Microsoft makes a stupid decision, but not even this is going to drive significant numbers away from Windows.

Yes, much better to invest in electrical production which... *checks notes*... does not utilize concrete foundations, metal or glass, and doesn't take years to plan and build. I don't know what that is but I'm sure the engineers who are not experts on the subject like I am will figure something out.

And we certainly must think of those poor farmers out there in the ocean having to move their sea fences.

But hey, I also hate the Pedofuhrer so that means everyone agrees with me, right?
