The S&P500 is almost always at an ATH, for the record. Buy as soon as you have the money and buy often. The market is irrational, and doesn't always reflect reality. Efficient market hypothesis says that all this "scary risk" is already "priced-in" instantly. If there's money to be made off this uncertainty, it's been made. Anything else is just gambling.

This sort of stuff is scariest when you're just getting started, but remember that you're probably looking at a multi-decade timespan. It doesn't matter what happens next week in the grand scheme of things.

Kind of surprising to take away the control of DXVK/VKD3D/NVAPI like that. Keeping NVAPI enabled has caused me trouble on certain games before. Now to disable them we need to type in Proton's environment variables I guess? I hope they at least put in UI toggles for Proton's configurations instead.

He’s probably overly defensive and paranoid and interprets some forms of criticism as attacks.

I think this was also a result of his “miscommunication” in the past

there might also be parties involved who are ACTUALLY interested in attacking GrapheneOS and weakening its popularity, for their own gains.

when your successful and also high-quality project is under regular attacks from various angles

Rossman’s over-dramatic nature and high reach

then communication spirals out of control into various escalations

You should actually look at any of the copious amounts of evidence that involve this conversation instead of just imagining what it might look like. There's really not much else to talk about until you do. Daniel has given us zero evidence to support his side, while in contrast there's a mountain of evidence against him.

I know this is a Louis Rossman thread but calling Daniel Micay "a bit socially awkward" is minimizing the issue to an extreme. Louis Rossman made his comments after he watched Techlore's in-depth video documenting Daniel's behavior, but keep in mind that even that hour-long video is just scratching the surface. To this day, Daniel continues to act the same way if not worse, and has a giant list of "enemies" that he says are attacking, harassing, bullying, and gangstalking the "grapheneOS project" (aka him). This might be partially caused by him bashing other open source projects and making new enemies any chance he gets. I'm not sure when the "all open source projects get together to personally target Daniel Micay" meetings occur, but maybe the only common thread is Daniel himself. There are tons and tons of receipts out there on the web if you search for "Daniel Micay list of enemies", especially on a site that I don't feel comfortable promoting but which does a very good job of keeping track of this stuff - especially because Daniel always deletes everything incriminating afterwards. If you're going to catch him in the act you need to take screenshots and make archive.org snapshots.

Daniel's behavior is a very important issue to be aware of if you're considering using grapheneOS, and personally it crosses the line of what I feel comfortable with in regards to running his operating system on the most personal device I have. Louis Rossman was even more justified in his decision to do the same, since Daniel is (to this day) specifically targeting him.

This is probably the intended point of the comic but I do appreciate that they are depicted as completely equal in the last panel, instead of any pretense that there's still an imbalance between them. The whole "that person is better than me" anxiety can be hard to break through.

Do you have more info on how you tested Rimworld's simulation speed, or maybe a source that has tested this? I always used the native linux Rimworld version when I was playing because I assumed it would be better for simulation lag.

Solid video, and it comes from a pretty grounded viewpoint. It's not very techy or pros/cons-focused; it's more about the "spirituality" of what we're even doing with the technology in our lives. They're obviously not a tech expert, but their mindset and "breaking point" are a lot more relatable for most casual people. This is the sort of realization that people are going to continue having as big tech encroaches further and further on their lives. E.g. their example of "it's not one big problem, it's many small problems that add up" with why it's so frustrating to use Windows, but then why people continue to use it.

It will take a "breaking point" and self-motivated change to critically evaluate the power that you're giving to corporations and decide that you're going to accept some discomfort in order to fix it. There will never be a perfect time to effortlessly switch your entire workflow across operating systems. I daresay that if there ever was a point at which switching to Linux was effortless, big tech would flash something new and shiny and make that no longer the case. They prey on keeping people in the path of least resistance, and understanding their strategy is the first step to doing something about it.

Wish people would have realized this a couple decades ago, but it really does feel like Linux is re-entering public discourse as people are getting more and more jaded about their relationship with big tech companies.

Their prices lately have been very unimpressive.

Maybe HDR on linux? I'm fairly clueless about how it all works under the hood, but I'm currently on debian 12 and I'm hoping that by the time 13 comes around it will just work without me needing to do any manual system tweaks. As I understand it, it's currently semi-working or fully-working in KDE6, but I'm still on KDE5 until debian 13 comes out.

Rutracker is pretty solid for a public tracker. They've notably got a ton of music rips mirrored from what.cd and RED, and they seem to have a good handle on gaming releases as well. Their uploaders seem to focus at least a little on making releases well-annotated and a custom/high quality experience rather than just mindless scene content dumping.
