Valve is interesting. Enshitification is the standard for something like social media. Corporations are the real customer and users do creative labor to keep it valuable.

Valve flips the script. Developers struggle because they are only expected to labor. Studios don’t get the full value of their labor. They might be a huge corporation but they are a worker to valve

Would hate to be “left behind” in expressing myself?

I know he means exploited workers making Kellogg’s ads or something, but it’s such gremlin mind to think this way about art.

Glad the dev is managing their capacity, hopefully others will maintain it. Unfortunately phone sync is tightly controlled, limited to paid storage services, as offered by the phone makers.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) this appears to be untrue.

Polaris is a cluster of stars formed about 2 billion years ago. Sharks originated about 450 million years ago.

One star of Polaris (Aa) appears to be 50 million years old, but it seems likely due to a collision of stars which added mass to it.

As someone who only uses default kde settings: no!

This is the type of change I wouldn’t notice until a default created UX friction, and not being able to fix that change would drive me away from the DE. Having the option to hack at something means i can use it for much longer without concern.

I love to bash MS, but this feels like an industry-wide trend to /never/ care about optimizing beyond the bar of “typical specs of new devices in rich countries”. I’m guessing it’s just to limit labor costs, and computers are less-rapidly-improving than the 90s/00s?

Many PW managers let you generate passphrases, which are all around better than random strings. Length is the most important factor so
