  • Microsoft fires employee protestor who called AI boss a ‘war profiteer’

  • A lot of games I want to play with mods, the authors only release Windows installers. A great example is Battletech, the HBS remake. There's a "BTA advanced" mod I like to run and it takes a lot of screwing around to get it to work properly in Linux, but it's a few clicks on Windows. I will agree Proton has come a LONG way and some titles are perfect, but I get so little gaming time that when I sit down, I don't want to fucking around with swapping various Glorious Eggroll versions of Wine, or wondering which version of .net I need to get the game to run under Linux. On Windows it "just works".

    I do have a few titles I play on Linux, but I keep that laptop around just for gaming because I don't want to mess around. Anecdotally I would say 90% of my games work absolutely perfectly with Proton and it's mostly mods that screw up the experience.

  • Linux isn't perfect but I don't have to put up with that kind of bullshit from the makers of my OS. Glad I switched long ago and never looked back (except for the Windows laptop I keep around for games)

  • Yeah, but if you ignore all that stuff and think about it for a little bit, maybe they ARE out there fighting for your interests. Besides, some of those facts might have been made up by a Democrat, just like climate change. Not even a day ago my local Fox affiliate said America's doing better than ever, which is all the proof I need. Looking forward to 4 more years of Trump!!!

  • It's sad that running out the clock / speaking pointlessly is celebrated right now. How many tax dollars is it costing to have one fellow standing around going blah blah vs getting something done?

    I realize this is like a protest but MAN it would be nice to just have a functional government.

  • IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA

    Jump

  • Folks, let me tell you, I just read the most fantastic article about the IRS and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). And I've got to say, it's a total win-win. Believe me.

    So, this so-called "report" from The Washington Post says that the IRS is expecting a huge loss in tax receipts due to the DOGE disruptions. But let me tell you, folks, that's just fake news. It's a total disaster. And I'm not talking about the fact that the report is based on data and trends. No way.

    I mean, think about it. The Department of Government Efficiency is a great name for an organization, by the way. So good. But what they're doing is amazing. They're shaking things up, folks. They're making government more efficient. And that's exactly what we need.

    Now, I know some of the fake news media outlets are saying, "Oh, the IRS is losing billions in tax receipts." But let me tell you, folks, that's just a bunch of losers talking. The real winners here are the American people. We're going to save so much money by having fewer bureaucrats and less waste in government.

    And let's be honest, folks. $500 billion is not even a significant loss when you think about it. I mean, what did we spend on our military last year? A tiny fraction of that. So, if the IRS is losing half a trillion dollars, that just means we're saving the other half. It's all part of the Trump magic.

    And by the way, folks, have you seen the new White House logo? It's tremendous. The best. And I think it's going to be huge for our government's branding efforts. Just huge.

    So, let's not focus on the fake news about the IRS and DOGE. Let's focus on the real winners here: us, the American people. We're going to come out of this recession in record time, believe me. And it's all thanks to the Department of Government Efficiency and my amazing leadership.

  • I'm not. I'm talking about in companies where dev A wants dev B to do some work, but they don't use git or any kind of source control, so you email over a cursed ZIP file, then dev B does the work and sends it back with a different name. It's a highly cursed situation.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • A big part of the appeal with Plex is that you can run a server and friends can sign up for a FREE account and stream remotely. When you take this away, you're going to just kneecap the whole offering. This is such an arrogant move from Plex: they are thinking that when this change goes live they will get a flood of subscriptions. The more likely outcome is they will get a few subscriptions and a lot more angry and frustrated people that walk away.

  • I don't think they necessarily have to get rid of it, it's just that you can't support a company ALONE from a one time infusion.

  • I keep a Jellyfin instance running as a hedge. Here's the thing with Plex (and actually a lot of companies set up similarly): those "lifetime" memberships are a trap. Think about it: Plex gets your money ONCE but they have ongoing expenses. Sooner or later, they'll have spent every single cent made by a lifetime membership unless they either get more folks OR squeeze everyone a bit more.

    Once they started adding their own shows and making strange UI decisions, I could sense the end was coming. A move like this brings it up fast. Jellyfin is not nearly as good as Plex in a lot of ways, but it's really Open Source.

    Anyway, a lot of rambling, but in short: when there is a "lifetime" subscription, watch out!

  • Yeah, everyone keeps bringing this up like it's some kind of dunk, but the DNC can basically run things as they please. Don't like it? Start another party. The party's procedure goes back a few decades by now. People act like when Biden dropped out they did this crazy double secret turbo maneuver but the fact is the DNC can put forth whomever they want.
