I was quoting TNG’s final words, but now you’ve got me actually wanting this!

They should have done this a long time ago.

I wish I was never born to hear this, thank you for sharing.

Neat!

Nextcloud is federated?

I have a feeling most people click the maximum privacy “hide from contacts” option at the start, probably not thinking it through. And that means you wouldn’t be able to see them. You can try searching manually as that sometimes seems to find them.

That said, when I asked people who texted me “do you have Signal?” I think about 50% said yes and the other 50% were able to download it without issue.

I waited years for it, but now that everyone is on Signal it doesn’t excite me.

I’ve tuned into this a few times and it’s always been 100% completely unhinged. Love it.

That’s better put than I did 😂

Ah yeah that’s a good point. I think “gamers” used to be a more distinct group with a more distinct identity, nowadays it’s like saying “moviegoer”.

Ed frequently comes off like a guy ranting outside the gas station but goddamn is it hard to find an issue with with his conclusions.

This is also the first I’ve ever heard the term in any context so I’m hesitant to believe the author when they say “it looks like it’s sticking”…

After Silksong, Lethal Company and Content Warning were my two most played games in 2025.

I agree that calling these low-poly multiplayer games “slop” is terrible, because there is clearly a ton of love and effort poured into them. I hope the name doesn’t catch on.

I expected lols I did not expect to perpetuate a nearly 50 year old debate

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.

My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.

Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.

Privacy.com is easy, too.

um do you really believe that performance stages are constructed to ignore whatever is on them

If sexy romulan is ridiculous I don’t want to be normal

Most of my 2025 was Silksong actually, but for only $20 it felt like a patient gamer moment!

Weird, I don’t have a new AI sidebar and I’m running the latest version.
