Amazon tried getting into game production as well and seems to have middling results at best. Having the financial backing is significant, but it doesn't guarantee success.

I admit that I still make Steam purchases, but this has started to be in the back of my mind when doing so. It is still another company that sells stuff that the customer ends up not owning. With all that they've done for gaming on Linux and doing right by their customers so far, it's just so hard to doubt them.

This is why people trying to pass this as a primary option baffle me a bit. dd is not that bad in isolation, but all of these little commands add up.

If we want Linux to be mainstream, we need to accept that most users aren't going to be linux enthusiasts. They just want a PC that works normally.

They'll never tell.

It is a bit more of a statement product than something that most people will want to use. It's incredibly thin, and the tri-fold design means that the screen is exposed on one of the edges when folded up. They do alleviate this with an included case though.

I'm cautiously optimistic. It could be seriously cool, but it could end up being more of a collectible than something that actually can weather the rigors of everyday use.

No it isn't.

Stay tuned for the next episode of internet argument.

I think it's about staying focused on what you're doing. Pushing out irrelevant thoughts and focusing on what's going on is a skill you can work on. In my mind, when something like that is making me giggle, the only thing that helps is not thinking about it. I'm bad at dealing with this too though.

TIL. Apparently they may eat certain wild varieties of bananas, but not the ones that we eat. I've been duped and smeckledorfed.

The US is big enough that it will take a long time for things to change drastically. Even when a large company gets a new president, it can take months before low level employees feel the changes. I really hope that it'll be slow enough that most will be spared any suffering, and perhaps the next administration could start to reverse the tide.

Ah true. I guess there are quite a few industry specific ones.

I wonder if you could make it sass you every so often to complete the effect.

Fucking shutdown

Chill my man. I'm on it.

How many unix like operating systems are there? I thought it was just BSD and Linux. Then I heard about Plan 9. Now this. Next thing you know someone is going to find an operating system that is meant to run oil pumps or something and is going to install doom on it.
