Well it sets an upper bound on compute requirements at ‘simulate 10^27 atoms for thirty years’ remains to be seen if what we can optimize away ever converges with what’s feasible to build.

It would become Twitter.

I agree strongly with your gut reaction. I personally use it as the archive of record whenever I digitize some media that would otherwise be lost. I use it when trying to establish how something looked in the past. I don’t need IA to go out and pick losing fights with publishers at the expense of the excellent services they already provide.

It should be noted that if you want digital book loans Libby is fine.

So like systemd but ten times more dramatic.

Warzone 2100 was my jam! They hadn’t actually got cutscenes working in the Linux port I was using so I was.very confused about the story.

Does Valve ship a usable desktop distro?

What’s crazy to me is that Linux was out way in front of this. Put me in front of windows back in the aughts and say ‘go install a program’ and you had to google it, hope you clicked the right download link, install it, hope you didn’t get a virus. Ubuntu you just opened up synaptic and bam, there was a wealth of programs you could just install with a single click. It was mind-blowing, and way easier than what everyone else offered.

Baby Duck syndrome is real, and probably the reason I’m using Lubuntu; it superficially resembles the OSs I grew up using (Win9x/OS9/WinXP.) Windows, MacOS, Gnome, and Mate on the other hand relentlessly change their interfaces.

It’s what I use for my home server and it’s great. You can even use VLC to stream music and stuff via samba.

Ambrosia Software published a bunch of Mac games back in the day, but the app store crunched them.

Marathon was a mac exclusive. Will the new Marathon ship on mac at all?

Lubuntu my beloved. Ubuntu enough for me to google myself out of anything but lightweight enough to make me feel good about what I’m spending cycles/battery on… and familiar enough that I don’t need to learn a whole new desktop paradigm when all I’m gonna do with the desktop gui is start an app anyway.
