The Rust devs have such backward logic.
"Supporting Linux means you're not serious about anti cheat."
Wouldn't supporting Linux mean you'd in fact have to be more serious about your anticheat?
If you don't want to support Linux because you can't be asked, just say that instead of blathering.

It is okay to be technically savvy and require assistance with software/hardware you don't understand. Ask for help and read the docs instead of bemoaning the tech for not catering to your prior experience.
Your lack of understanding/capability does not preclude usability; stop crying and learn.

Windows/macOS users bashing modern Linux usability on the basis of their own ineptness is funny, but its even funnier when the same people refuse to use modern Linux the way it is designed. They almost always approach Linux from their now irrelevant 2000-2010's era experience, instead of learning.

Firefox 147 Will Support The XDG Base Directory Specification
A 21 year old bug report requesting support of the XDG Base Directory specification is finally being addressed by Firefox. The Firefox 147 release should respect this XDG specification around where files should be positioned within Linux users' home directory...

Is it just me or is the negativity threshold for the @bsky.app automated hiding far too low? It's mind bogglingly sensitive, triggering on mildly biting/snarky agreement.

Mike Portnoy's (and rest of the band's) performance in Dream Theater's The Dance of Eternity is so skillful and creative it is awe inducing.
To date, I've never seen someone manage a kit of such variety to similar effect. It really speaks to his passion for percussion.

I genuinely wish there was a way to tune the reply hiding algorithm. This thing is hiding*slightly* negative otherwise constructive feedback @bsky.app.

There's something pleasant about the time of year when it's finally cold enough to make use of the stack of religious / political propaganda that piles up over time from depolarizing the little community library in our neighborhood.

ACA: brought US uninsured rate down to ~7%, made HC affordable, insurers benefit from more signatories & govt subsidies.
Pre-ACA: insurers reject preexisting conditions, annual/lifetime payout caps, higher premiums, milk US consumers for profit, insurers benefit massively.
Which is worse again?
