Sorry for the reddit link, I don’t know of a mirror. This was posted just today, running on an EeePC:
I used Ubuntu from version 8.04 to 18.04 and not once did I have a successful upgrade between major versions. There is always something that gets broken to the point that a reinstall is necessary.
(Federated) email didn’t survive. It got completely subsumed by the major providers who now have control over everything email related. It’s now impossible to run your own email server since none of the major providers will deliver your email without your mail server having first built a reputation.
The fediverse analogy would be if 99.9999% of users were on Threads and you couldn’t interact with any of those users from any of the small independent fediverse servers. Frankly, that’s exactly what it looks like is happening.
Wait until you see the ones that let you choose between “Accept All” and “Subscribe to monthly plan 4.99/mo”
I saw a website like that the other week and it was based in an EU country.
Got a link to that?
Can’t wait to read about it telling someone to put glue on pizza.
Thanks! I was racking my brain trying to think of where I knew it from, and after seeing the page that you linked I’m almost certain that it’s After Burner that is causing my brain to trigger the 80s association.
You can tell just from the font that this book is from the 80s
She’s a great chess player but she’s never been a World Champion. There’s no need to embelish her story. She’s currently training to become a surgeon at University of Missouri School of Medicine.
So that would make it 1.4m in the last two weeks which makes a big difference.
It would have been nice for the article to actually discuss these specifics. I’m not sure what we’re supposed to take away from it.
He doesn’t actually do the calculation required to give an estimate of what that number is.
Going on the stats in the article:
that would imply ~1.4m Steam Decks sold
The article does go on to say:
Keep in mind that by November last year, Valve said the Steam Deck had already sold “multiple millions”.
So really this (very rough estimate) is telling us nothing that we didn’t know already. The top seller charts are showing exactly what we would have expected to see.

Since nobody has mentioned it yet, the other game that ruined his reputation for me is Godus. He funded it with a kickstarter with the promise it would be a successor to the God-Sim genre like Populous. It turned out to have all of the dark patterns of mobile games (time-gating with micro-transactions), but in a PC game.
The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.
