Witness the socks of a 3 time Future Business Leader of America award winner.

It's way easier to move from one Linux distro to another if Valve starts enshittifying SteamOS (which would really suck) than it is to move from Windows to Linux. Either way this is a good stepping stone that's well supported.

I'm starting to feel like the Cyberpunk 2077 version of the internet is not too far-fetched. It's split into 2 parts:

  1. The "old net" - This has been completely overrun by AI programs that are so fast and powerful they almost immediately compromise any non-AI powered system that connects to it.

  2. The "net" - Blocked off from the old net by the "Blackwall" (a big firewall that keeps all AI out) is basically your standard internet that humans use via cybernetic implants.

I honestly could see AI basically filling the internet with so much garbage and malware that it becomes completely unusable. This is already starting to happen. However, if we create a new one with just human-controlled computers, I don't see how we could stop people from just connecting AI to that one.

I really hope they release this to consumers.

I don’t think Factorio ever goes on sale but imo it’s worth full price.

If you like Satisfactory, there’s an extremely high chance you’ll like Factorio. The main differences are the obvious 2D top-down vs 3D 1st person and Factorio has a robust military/combat system with base defense while Satisfactory is mostly peaceful unless you’re exploring.

Looks promising, but it hasn’t been released yet. I hope they make arm64 builds.

Factorio.

Everything—the gameplay, the music, the art style—feels like I hand selected it. There’s not a single decision the devs made that I wouldn’t have made too.

Absolutely. Tell your friends and family members too: Don’t connect your TV to the internet. They are slow, buggy, insecure, and a privacy nightmare.

HTPCs are ideal, but unfortunately they are can be a little cumbersome for people who just want to maximize convenience.

Streaming sticks are equally bad on privacy, but they generally perform better (than TVs), are supported longer, and most importantly: they can be easily swapped out if they stop meeting your needs.

That being said, what kind of HTPC distros do y’all recommend? I’ve been using an NVIDIA Shield Pro for a while and I’ll probably go Linux HTPC when this thing finally dies.

I feel like an idiot. I thought the band just derived the name from “Kung Fu Fighters”. This is so much better.
