or “how to get white text on a light blue background”

“quay” is pronounced like “key” afaik

i don’t want flatpak either

a compatibility layer would involve dedicated hardware in the soc itself, like apple did with the m series chips

it’s the litle button at the top

nah, it self replicates!

ceos make up 11% of the workforce? That’s way higher than I thought!

i refuse to upgrade, because newer phones are objectively a worse experience than older ones. They keep removing features in the name of “innovation” while putting more stuff in there that the market is actively telling them they don’t want.

yes it does. Never disputed that. Doesn’t change the fact that the average user does not care in the slightest about how it works, not that it does work.

only among tech people. Way to prove my point. The general population only cared about easy access to free movies, they did not, and still do not care about the underlying implementation that makes that possible. My dad downloads stuff occasionally, I assure you, he does not know what bittorrent does

that’s because the tech people think p2p is what made bittorrent popular. It didn’t. Free stuff being available on it is what did.

sorry to burst your bubble

they are legally obliged to have a backup strategy, no?

if you rip out an engene from a car, then you can operate it at its most efficient rpm all the time, instead of when you happen to cross the right rpm on the right gear. So an engine powering a generator can almost always be more efficient than in a car.

This is not taking the losses in the electrical system when using the generated power in a moter to make the car move. But in a lot of cases, you still come out ahead

and when the driver doesn’t use the regen braking properly, resulting in a very jerky ride

you seem to be confusing an operating system for the user interface. An os can (and regularly does) have more than one interface. In this case steamos ships with two of them. One they designed which is targeted for games. And they also ship plasma as a desktop environment for those who need it. The operating system lies under all that, and you can launch any piece of software from either of the interfaces. (or the terminal, that counts as a 3rd way to interact with the computer, I guess)

as amazing as snake was as a toy on phones, it still doesn’t make sense to put a copy of snake in outlook. Or notepad, or paint, or office, or as an always available widget in the task bar

not really. If the system outputs a probability distribution, then by definition, you’re picking somewhat randomly. So not really a simplification

if every single token is, at the end, chosen by random dice roll (and they are) then this is exactly what you’d expect.

call of duty player, probably?
