I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

As someone who dropped put of business school to fix cars for a living, I feel this.

In response to this comment, I went to find the previous post, then came back here to say, noice.

I am angry at myself for actively seeking this one out based on your comment in another meme. Why do I do this to myself.

And you, rather than helping someone who admitted that they were new to the community and trying to learn, decided to just be a dick.

I did. As someone who is also new to Linux and to programming, I’ve run into similar hurdles and it is frustrating. Now I’m not trying to build a gaming system, but just something to learn on.

It’s really disheartening to come to the community, try to ask for help and to be told that I should just do it right, or to catch flak for not asking the rifht question, or to have someone share a chunk of code and say, “just use this,” which doesn’t help me learn.

To be clear, my previous comment was a pre-coffee and just irked me in the wrong way; I do owe you an apology for that so, sorry.

If my customer sent me this much detail, I would be a happy tech.

The real double-slit quantum eraser they don't want you to know about! (mander.xyz)

The recent post made me fear that a lot of you are taking this “monkey looks at double-slits” meme, which was only ever supposed to be a funny monkey meme, actually seriously. Honorable mention goes to @kromem, whose 12 posts on the topic, insisting that the quantum eraser experiment (but not the delayed-choice quantum...

As someone who enjoys quantum mechanics, but papers are too far over my head; and has struggled with a nagging sense that something about all the explanations just wasn’t making sense, thank you for this beautifully clear explanation of how these conclusions were reached.

So much this. As someone who runs a technical call center, I don’t know is an acceptable answer but follow it with a plan to find out!

It’s important to find work that also nourishes your soul.
