Mildly Interesting•Should we ditch the idea of three meals a day?English
21·1 day agoIt just seems unnecessary to bring it up in every barely-related thread. We’re all aware of serious problems but not every discussion has to be taken over by the doomer mindset. I subscribe to the fun little communities to get a break from the serious shit, we don’t all need to be talking about the bad stuff all the time!
We can rebuild him, we have the technology. But I don’t want to spend a lot of money.

15·2 days agoThe word crap is actually of Middle English origin and predates its application to bodily waste. Its most likely etymological origin is a combination of two older words: the Dutch krappen (to pluck off, cut off, or separate) and the Old French crappe (siftings, waste or rejected matter, from the medieval Latin crappa). In English, it was used to refer to chaff and also to weeds or other rubbish. Its first recorded application to bodily waste, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, appeared in 1846, 10 years after Crapper was born, under a reference to a crapping ken, or a privy, where ken means a house.
This man was fated to give a crap

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Any desktop-mode tips for a new Steam Deck owner?English
1·2 days agoI’ve not read the details for a few years, but I’d guess there isn’t because there doesn’t need to be for the vast majority of users. Even the few who use desktop mode can manage with flatpaks, the few who can’t can use distrobox, etc.

1·2 days agoYeah that’s what I meant, if you really want to use pacman or one of the traditional package managers then install another distro

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Any desktop-mode tips for a new Steam Deck owner?English
1·3 days agoWell that’s not what the OS is designed for, it’s designed to be simple to update and hard to break. If you really want a traditional package manager then you can just install a different OS, I guess.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•“Sloppenheimer:” Amazon Employees Mock the Company’s AI on SlackEnglish
31·3 days agoThe problem (well, one of the many problems) is that “AI” is a meaningless buzzword slapped on everything by marketing drones. I’m sure there are some real advances that could be made by what five years ago we’d have called “machine learning”, but the chatbots that everyone’s currently obsessing over don’t have anything to do with that.

3·4 days agoApparently distrobox come pre-installed. Also I don’t think there’s any rpm-ostree on steamos, that’s a Fedora Atomic thing.

2·4 days agoYeah looks like it’s installed by default. Can’t find an official announcement/changelog but according to an unsourced reddit thread it’s been there since steamos 3.5.

Free Video Game Giveaways@feddit.uk•[Itch] *Windows 11 SE PLUS*, some kind of parody OS sim full of arcade gamesEnglish
3·4 days agoIt is not. From a quick poke around and watching the video, it looks like it’s a bit of a joke and just includes existing games such as Crossy Road.






















Excellent work by whoever did the editing on that trailer
