His comment didn't address two key issues for me:

  • The "crunch"/tight scheduling of projects which led to sloppiness to begin with
  • The constant need to correct, ranging from simple mistakes to very problematic methods.

I've been enjoying solely the WAN Show, but hearing about constant mistakes in benchmarks while praising "We want to show factual information on benchmarks for once.", is rubbing me in the wrong way. You can't rush benchmarking without QA and publish those results as fact. You get to choose for accuracy, or fast to churn content.

And Linus not mentioning something concrete on the first issue is worrying to me, not showing a clear intent to ease on rushing those benchmarks.

Not to mention, it's worth taking down a video if benchmarka are wrong even if the conclusion is "most likely to remain the same", which one cannot conclude with certainty without redoing it. It would be better transparency wise to either not knowingly publish wrong information, or put a more clear notice on said videos besides the description and a pinned comment.

This year's charity is the Netherlands' MIND (Dutch website), a Dutch charity that strives to prevent mental health issues and supports those who suffer from those.

Donations are currently broken on the site because of a PayPal issue - Prime subs are used for BSG themselves for future events.

Don't get me wrong - I think an included battery that's rechargeable through USB is fantastic. Less customer inconvenience. But they should either go with a standard that's easily reproducible or go with regular rechargeable batteries.

Gotta go for ProtonMail. Have been running it for a year and I kinda like how it's doing.

An additional feature is SimpleLogin's "Hide My E-mail" Aliases, which are "burner" e-mail addresses to use with pre-determined SimpleLogin domains (you can add your own domains as well to go around Proton's custom domain limit). Those are included in the full suite and Family subscriptions. (10 a month when subscribing for a year)

There's also a cheaper variant for 3.50 a month but it lacks the SimpleLogin feature. You can get SimpleLogin seperately for 30 a year, however.

If it was so easy to replace them, with each Li-Ion battery being different for every type of device.

Since I got those from Ikea, I just want devices to go back to those types of batteries instead of internal battery packs. Still got to appreciate the Xbox controllers sticking to that principle (for now).

Any thoughts on overhauling cross-posting, to allow more interaction with the source interaction?

As far as I'm aware: currently when you cross-post, only the recipient instance gets all interactions (comments, upvotes), instead of duplicating to or having the origin solely receive those.

The current implementation hampers the growth of smaller instances when reposting something to a bigger one. Discoverability is still there due to seeing from which instance the post originates from, but that's arguably not enough.

I used to have this issue, but 0.0.8 is now out. Obtanium pulls in that release just fine!

Try Obtainium, helps if an app isn't on F-Droid or Google Play Store.

Spotting Super Mario RPG in there, you might appreciate knowing some people actually recreated some songs with the original synths used by Yoko Shimomura herself.

I'm honestly a bigger fan of the classic DOOM I/II (199X) soundtracks. Despite being obvious parodies of existing rock/metal songs, they had a certain appeal. Especially when someone makes a very good cover.

I get why people like 2016's DOOM's more "metal" approach, but for me nothing beats an adrenaline-rush song when ripping and tearing those damned demons.

any game with a story

Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rimworld, Starbound...

Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one's not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).

 

It posts every time a link + first few lines of text of any new Steam Deck update blog post that is published, polling from the RSS feed Valve officially provides!

If there's any feedback, I'm all ears to improve the bot further.
