I’m far from a fanboy, but it’s literally the fastest selling console of all time.

Great post, thank you.

PMC?

Sounds like you’d updated your system GPU drivers but not your flatpak ones. It’s an oddity and I’m not sure what the fix is apart from knowing you always need to update flatpak when you pull in a driver update.

So happy for Hulk!

Not “necessarily connected” is far from “nothing to do with each other”. You need to stop shifting the goal posts and take the L.

I’m not a doctor but I do have adhd, depression and anxiety. A quick Google confirms they are in fact linked, so I’m not sure what you mean by “have nothing to do with each other”.

It’s an Israeli company, that’s a no from me boss.

That’s it. That’s the only reason.

Manufacturing labour costs are far cheaper outside of China but the skills aren’t available. While labour costs are always a factor, the US just doesn’t have enough skilled manufacturing engineers or the supply chain you get somewhere like Shenzen.

Game prices haven’t followed inflation because the market kept growing so fast that they made it up on gross revenue. That’s coming to an end (hence the post-lockdown market contraction and layoffs), so expect prices to go up by at least $10 every generation from now on.

And in fairness, the fifth attempt was on an intel platform.

I’m running HDR on Fedora 42 with Gnome. Unless you watch HDR video content or play HDR games I would say it’s not worth worrying about.

Mate, that’s from 2022. I’ve scanned through it and it seems completely unhelpful.

I think people generally think in paths like this. The difference is the impulsive conversation topic change, not the train of thought. Some neruotypicals (like my wife) can find it jarring.

I am technical person and I don’t care either.

I really don’t think this qualifies as enshittification. There’s no evidence they’ve taken funding or have any shareholders they need to appease. They also only increased prices and have not moved the paid/free boundaries in any way.

I think it’s much more likely this is a side project that simply doesn’t pay for itself well enough, and the alternative would be shutting it down. If people aren’t happy with that, it’s totally reasonable to just cancel.

If the customers came across in the transaction, so did the contractual obligations. You can’t have it both ways.

I can only take so much of Dan, but I like the rest of them. Grubb is great, Jan is a sweetheart.

Bakalar joined GB East 10 years ago. Jan’s been at GB for 7+ years, but as a producer so you wouldn’t have seen his face as much until the big shift when Jeff, Brad, Vinny and Alex left. Grubb only joined in 2022.
