Patience and nuance is a rare virtue in 2025
Yeah thats definitely fair. Accessibility is important. It is unfortunate though that AI companies abuse accessibility and organization tags to train their LLMs.
See how Stable Diffusion porn uses danbooru tags, and situations like this:

Decentralized media based communities have the rare ability to be able to hide their data from scraping.
Meanwhile, we have people making the web worse by not linking to source & giving us images of text instead of proper, accessible, searchable, failure tolerant text.

2·4 days agoThis feature has been supported in Linux and Steam for like 5 years. Gaming on Windows sucks.

2·5 days agoYeah i agree with you, but there is a limit to community support. The Steam Deck specifically has a big community, but most hobbyists don’t like to spend a ton of time maintaining ancient hardware drivers.
I believe my 11 year old Thinkpad T540p still runs mainline kernels too. The GPU is not supported by the 2018 Intel Iris userspace driver though, so I would need to run a legacy driver that does not support vulkan. Its still packaged by Arch, but it does limit my options.
I’d say 10 years until new games stop running with all features, and 20-30 years until it stops running mainline kernels and loses network access to Steam.
Other handhelds with closed-source drivers probably stop running mainline in 5-10 years.
2·5 days agoYou’re probably going to have a noticeable performance impact from running games off of USB.
It may work, but there are software dependencies that will become end of life. The first to go will probably be the GPU drivers. In 10 years or so, Linux will discontinue the GPU drivers and you will not be able to run the latest Linux kernel.

311·9 days agoYeah the nerds usually find themselves in very powerful social circles if they survive school. Circles of emotionally mature experts with strong careers.
Kids’ needs are of course very important, but abandoning engaging hobbies in favor of some phantom desire to fit in is dumb.
Yeah definitely, the US system is very dysfunctional. A good amount of money simply gets lost in the bureaucracy.
Insurance companies are massive conglomerates that have to negotiate deals with tens of thousands of providers, millions of products, and millions of customers. Every Healthcare provider needs dedicated bureaucrats that can navigate the sea of paperwork. I don’t have the data in front of me, but I believe the US government pays about the same amount of money on healthcare as the Swedish government.
Any difference between what a Swede pays and what an American pays is just pure waste. A wasteland of pointless jobs.
There’s definitely some fuskbolag and dysfunctionalities in the Swedish system, but for the most part, Swedes are not wasting money keeping dozens of massive office towers filled with bureaucrats, and Swedes have a happier life because of it.
With regards to salary, all Americans already pay 4% off their paycheck for Medicare. So Swedes don’t have lower salaries because of vård välfärd - at least not directly. But that’s a complicated discussion, and we’re already seeing American salaries fall drastically due to geopolitical factors. There is some aspect of the US having a monopoly on cloud services, where many top European tech works have been bought up and poached by Silicon Valley. There is also the risk of the American economy overinvesting into AI companies, with hundreds of billions of dollars already spent, and further trillions planned.
Yeah, it’s something that people don’t really think about.
För klarhet, fackordet för skatten är arbetsgivareskatt. “tax planning” är skatteväxling. “out of pocket maximum” och “coinsurance” är engelsk fackord för högkostnadsskydd.

Very strange scale, people facing criminal charges for hateful or violent Facebook posts in Europe is considered as bad as silencing political journalism.
There’s comment on how many people in the UK are facing charges over this, but every country in Europe enforces hate speech laws. Seems very biased towards mainstream headlines about the nazi thug riots in UK.
because having no internet feels like being in the stone age, when dinosaurs coexisted with humans.
(this was before Jesus invented the internet)
I know you’re asking about the US, but for comparison:
In Sweden it’s a flat 3.55% of your labor income, so about €100-200 a month for most people, and usually caps out at €200 for people doing tax planning. In either case, it’s paid by your employer so you don’t have to think about the cost.
Out of pocket yearly maximum is €145 for Healthcare and €380 for prescriptions (which was raised 30% this year by the far-right coalition 😑). Dental care is also mostly covered by insurance, but there’s a co-insurance between 50% and 15%.
