About as often as they actually release anything

I wouldn't get too excited. Supposedly the next headset is internally called Deckard, and it's been "about to release" for like 3 years now? Pretty much everything people think they know about it is conjecture based off code Valve has tucked away in SteamVR; zero public statements of intent.

As for VR on Linux... kinda? I've only read terrible things about it online. I have an Index and tried to use it with Mint a few months back, and while it mostly worked without any configuration issues, there was a weird white ring around the edge of the screen that I couldn't figure out.

I'm no expert. But probably there just isn't enough evidence yet to accuse China as a whole of systematically doping its athletes. I'd imagine they err on the side of "allowing participation" with this kind of stuff.

I'm pretty sure Russia only got banned because they had a state-sponsored doping system. Long as you don't get caught with that, you can be as authoritarian as you want.

They literally already tried and failed with the phoneification of windows when everyone shat on 8. I guess some ahole UI designer still works there and is bitter that people didn't like their ideas.

Just 3 days ago I had to use the control panel to access the settings I needed to get my parents' printer to work right. Even tried to use the regular settings menu for maybe 10 minutes before remembering how to access the settings I needed. Here's hoping my parents never run into printer issues again (lol).

FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT!

I think Republicans are also generally disengaged. That's what enables them to vote for so much monstrous garbage; they don't pay enough attention to know what they're voting for. There are also plenty of true believers who really are christian nationalists, but for most people, if they follow the policy positions, they'd be Democrats.

So when it comes to the number of people watching a convention, the DNC sorta naturally attracts more people since the base is paying more attention.

I was really hoping the "get a divorce" culture was something that would have stayed with reddit

What difference does an airtight case make when you have a litany of judges, all the way up to the supreme court, that will happily twist the law to rule in your favor?

That's the real reason why he compares it to abortion. To trivialize it. To make the word meaningless.

Everything is free speech. Everyone is Hitler. Every action is treason. And so people stop paying attention to real warnings.

Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.

In the absence of any other visible political opinions I dunno what else we're supposed to attribute to him
