Costco doesn’t give a shit about consumers. Costco cares about nurturing and communicating their brand, which is all about being pro-consumer.

You’re not strictly wrong, and I understand that corporations are not anyone’s friends, but the line between these two distinctions is vanishingly thin.

No disagreement at all there.

Falling back to insults when you can’t provide a source isn’t terribly convincing.

I can at least provide examples of them stating directly the opposite.

I use Adobe Premiere for editing, and one of the many fun ways that Adobe is kind of ass is that it just doesn’t work on Linux.

• Luke, “My Linux Curse is NOT Over… But It’s Getting BETTER - Pt.2 Linux 30 Day Challenge 2026”, emphasis mine

Adobe is very clearly the party being blamed here, not linux.

Also:

The Proton compatibility layer has made incredible progress. Even actually during our last couple of months, it’s improved a lot. But it can’t do anything about developers who block their games on Linux.

From “I Can’t Go Back To Windows”, again emphasis mine. Again very clearly laying the blame at the developers of the incompatible software.

Presumably you can point me to a specific video, since you seem so completely sure of it. I’m not scrubbing through potentially hours of footage to try to find something that I don’t think exists.

As for your suggestion that he just reviews what he’s paid to do, sure, that seems plausible. I’m not trying to argue that it’s an impartial channel and people should be watching him. You certainly don’t need to defend a decision to not watch it.

If a user needs Photoshop in their workflow then Linux isn’t an option for them. That is a problem with Linux, from a user perspective.

Who’s at fault for that problem is a different question, and I’d be surprised if LTT ever say that Linux is to blame.

I stopped buying Campbell’s or any of its subsidiary brands a few years ago when they both raised prices and reduced the size of the can.

They were underhanded about it too because they made the cans slightly taller so it wasn’t obvious that they had less volume.

Isn’t Cyberpunk DRM free? Why do you need a repack? If the bit that didn’t work was the repack’s self-extractor/installer I guess that would make a little more sense.

Here’s a music news site: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/gaming-giant-steam-faces-legal-action-from-the-uks-prs-over-alleged-unlicensed-use-of-music-in-games/

It sounds every bit as stupid there, if not more so because it’s apparently a normal aspect of distribution licensing in the UK.

Game developers and publishers typically secure sync licences to cover the embedding of music in their titles.
However, in the UK, those sync deals do not extend to the making available of that music when games are subsequently distributed via download or streaming platforms.
The ‘communication to the public’ right — i.e. the making available right — sits with PRS, not individual music publishers, meaning Valve requires its own separate licence as the platform operator distributing games that contain PRS members’ works.

Yeah, agree that choosing the same distro again was kind of silly, but understand wanting to give it a second try. I was also disappointed by the decision though.

Was glad to see Luke choose CachyOS. I slapped it on a small gaming machine a couple of months ago and have been quite happy with it.

He’s said a couple of times that he’s trying to view it through the lens of a casual, non-technical user, and the fact that similar problems also exist on Windows doesn’t stop them from being problems.

What is this insane rambling?

The alternative is that the only thing with access to make changes in your production environment is the CI pipeline that deploys your production environment.

Neither the AI, nor anything else on the developers machine, should have access to make production changes.

I agree that trading seems largely pointless. I ended up extremely overpowered in combat when I played on the lowest difficulty. The middle difficulty seems a bit more sensible so far, but I haven’t finished my run yet. Been enjoying the game overall though. Can’t say I ever ran into the need to scan planets as a result of an away mission.

They added manual saving in an update a few days ago.

I can’t see the name “anthropic” without thinking about furries.

Anthro pic.

Now you can’t either. You’re welcome.

Imagine posting this and thinking it sounded okay.

Sexual equality has ceased to exist online. It’s absolutely fine for boys to have sex, but when girls do, they are called worthless and referred to as objects.

This isn’t new. I’m a man in my mid 40s and the disparity between how promiscuous men are viewed as compared to promiscuous women has existed for as long as I’ve been sexually aware, and well before.

Obviously that doesn’t make it okay. I also have no idea what the solution might be. There have been a few cultural efforts to normalize the idea of women enjoying and seeking out sex but none of them seem to really reach the people that need to hear it.

I do find it oddly paradoxical that men who make it very clear that they are actively seeking sexual partners would disparage women for being sexually active.

Likewise I’m a “safe third party adult” for my niece but the prospect of ever actually needing to act in that capacity is terrifying.

Matrix does have a bot API, but there is not even close to as robust an ecosystem of bots to choose from. Whatever you want is probably possible, but depending on your needs you may have to write it yourself.

I never cared much for the orange juice, but minute maid frozen lemonade concentrate is amazing. I’m going to miss that one for sure.

For reasons similar to why plain bread doesn’t show up in sandwich recommendations.

…what do you think the point of marriage is (or was)?

You know you can have sex with someone without being married. The two concepts aren’t actually requisite of each other.
