Milliontown, experiments and a bunch of other stuff seems to have vanished from Apple Music. Have they published anything? Unsure where to look but there absence is extremely noticeable from my rotation.

You say this isn’t a DAW. After VoiceOver on Mac became so unreliable it stopped reading plain fking text, do you know how much I would give for a Linux daw? I’m genuinely considering my next studio setup to use audacity like an ADAT, and demoting my Mac from music box to dum synthesiser.

OG Just Cause on XBox I must have well over a thousand hours on at this point.

Approval doesn’t matter if he can just outlaw elections.

Man the context makes your post way less concerning 😂

Honestly 2025 is turning out to be a pain bath in general, physical and mental boxes have been well and truly ticked thus far. Then if you’re Jewish, add an extra serving of double sided existential crisis over morning serial to bring it home that yeah, we are well and truly fucked.

Marketing an OS as Linux is like marketing an engine instead of the car. BMW make the same engines for the 7 Series, 8 Series, and various rolls Royce models. Go figure. Package me a distro that helps me work better than the other guy, and a car that makes me feel a million dollars.

Games are the growing use case because steam. All it’ll take is for someone to say “We have a new way for you to do your work, without bla blah blah, ads, more ads, bla bla, and sell it on that basis without mentioning Linux and boom. You will have people using it in droves.

You’re dam fucking right it will be, through protest by hook and crook we’ll all push to get these racist orange-loving money-worshipping bastards back out of the oh. Tha’that’s -not what they -were going for?

Exactly. They’re saying it’s ’their Linux based operating system’. It’s subtle, but different. Normal users think about installing steam os, not Linux. That’s why Ubuntu was a leader in the beginning too, and why mint is leading now among new adopters. If anything, Linux is a philosophy and kernel.

Musk has the power, the data and the money to mount a coup with a huge base behind him, plus enough tech and insider hackers in doge to smooth the path.

This might look fun right now, but this will not end well for anyone.

All that data and they still can’t unlock the phone securely for people with nystagmus. Plus, their accessibility is in the bin at this point. I’m daily driving Linux now, a manually assembled arch setup on dev machines, and it’s more reliable than the $1Ts backed support driven garbage they ship.

Like how many users would Debian pull in if they said:

“Hate constant updates that break your workflow? Security is important but do you really need every new feature going? Well here at Debian you can have the same look for two decades, stay safe online, have your cake and eat it too.”

Basically they all need to realise their projects aren’t Linux as such, they’re their own thing. Steam doesn’t market SteamOS as arch, same with chromeOS or android. Then the discussion is less about ‘the pizza’ idea, and more about ‘their pizza’ idea. What do they do different that matters?

Was that the supposed trade secrets you spilled, that actually turned out to be massively invasive practices with gobbler?
