That is one hell of a name for a community lol

You should try measuring your searches. I also thought I used a ton of searches, as a software dev I search a lot. When I first switched I was sure I was going to be using several thousand searches a month. I was barely using more than 300. With Google it was at 800-900.

Probably depends on the person.

I mean, running a search engine is one of the most expensive things you can do, so the fact it’s so cheap is honestly astounding.

Did you actually use many of the features? Like pinning certain websites, blocking or deranking others, setting up shortcuts like !w, etc? Also kagi has provably private searches, so you can make web searches without anyone retaining a log of what you’re doing, which no other search provider can do, much less tries to do.

I used it until I switched to kagi. It was fine. Search results are better on Kagi and I’m not giving any information to Microsoft, but planting trees is nice.

I have never seen that symbol before. What currency is that!?

Edit: it’s the Ukrainian hryvnia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hryvnia_sign

I left my PC on 24/7 for almost 7 years because windows sleep just didn’t function correctly, so it would try to sleep, it would wake up the monitor, beep, then try to sleep over and over again. My LCD panel has no degradation, that’s over 60k hours. Yeah, I expect OLEDs have gotten better, but have they gotten that much better?

I switched to Linux and don’t have this problem anymore so now my monitor gets to sleep.

What deterioration for LCDs?

Yeah this title is terrible. They mean three models.

Looks like they answered why already!

They’re an “optimized for gaming and high speed workloads” distribution as far as I understand. Lots of customizations to GPU drivers and what not for games.

Wonder why CachyOS isn’t in the group.

Edit: wonder no more. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/cachyos-founder-explains-why-they-didn-t-join-the-new-open-gaming-collective-ogc/

Stardew valley and terraria

Oh great. That’s my exact issue right now. Except it just started happening even moreso with both my hdmi monitor and my display port monitor and it will stop the whole display from showing, even with an unplug. I have to hard restart

Uhhhhh. Yeah, yeah they are. lol. Like, what a weird thing to claim.

I’m not talking about being able to run on those other hardware. I’m talking about Nintendo devs literally being able to write code for that other hardware. You expand to numerous platforms you get more bugs. You need more devs. You need devs that know more platforms. It has nothing to do with Nintendo gimmicks. It has to do with building for more platforms just by default being more buggy (which is exactly what happens).

Nintendo’s exclusives likely wouldn’t work as well on other consoles or would show significant bugs or problems. Their games are purpose built for their hardware.

AutoHotKey is the standard for windows.

Hammerspoon is open source macOS software that allows you to control your computer in pretty much any way you can imagine.

It’s not a keyboard mod, it’s Mac software that does something that’s already freely available and open source in Hammerspoon. I’ve seen that dude acting like his project is some crazy new thing, but he just ignored the already existing software that does his thing and much more.

You can pay to keep getting windows security updates and prolong the upgrade even further.

Holy shit I remember that article too!

Never even heard of this game

I’ve recently learned that debit cards now have benefits like chargebacks that credit cards were the sole keepers of for decades. Debit cards were losing too much ground to credit cards so they started doing the same things.

Are you sure you don’t have a dark mode extension on? It was black text for me

Calling nexus mods shady is hilarious.

When he got kicked out by the board I was quite happy, literally “omg they’re actually going to follow their principles” but then nope. Apparently nobody in the company could see it for what it was and people outside didn’t want their “chatbot to go away!”

Your data is worth about $5-$10 a month, at least for Facebook. A month.

Discord isn’t social media. What is with everyone just referring to every tech company product as “social media”!?

It’s not enshittification because it literally doesn’t follow the second part of your own definition. Needing to change your offerings because your internal prices increase is normal business. Enshittification literally is from companies offering stuff to entice users and then they realize they have nothing else to offer to businesses, so they remove features in order to sell them to businesses or to increase ads.

Yep and if OpenAI goes under the whole market will likely crash, people will dump their GPUs they’ve been using to create models and then boom, you’ve got a bunch of GPUs available.

How is no one pointing out that a mouse subscription would make it so that if you missed a payment then (the majority of) people literally wouldn’t be able to re subscribe since, you know, most people use a mouse to do things on the internet.

You might be too young. They’re referring to a service called StumbleUpon that did almost exactly what you posted here.

Everyone that doesn’t have access to those is using gpus though.

Just because someone claims something to sue a company does not mean it’s true. You gotta go through the whole court process and prove it.

It says Valve “forces” game publishers to sign up to so-called price parity obligations, preventing titles being sold at cheaper prices on rival platforms

I’ve never seen any publisher claim this, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. But it sure doesn’t sound like that has anything to do with being a monopoly. Epic, GoG, Ubisoft, etc. could all do the exact same thing.

Anyway, thanks for the link. I was not the one to downvote you on your last comment. You did what I asked.

Ok but you made a claim that they were leveraging their market position to maintain a monopoly. So please describe how they are doing that in any way shape or form.

What are they doing to leverage their dominant position?

Really weird that the article doesn’t mention that the campus is 4 times the size of both apple and Microsoft’s campuses combined. It just mentioned it being larger. But 4 times is crazy.

What in the world are you talking about. Using contractors is not “paying people less than they’re worth”.

These companies still don’t understand why Nintendo has such a strangle on the handheld market. No one playing on handheld cares about performance benchmarks. They care if the game works and is fun. And they care about a good user experience.

Valve nailed it with proton, so that’s why Linux gaining is increasing so quickly. If you force Windows, it doesn’t matter if you get a hundred more frames a second. You’re gonna have a shitty user experience.

Also the difficulty is in the production line and custom swappable components, not the case design.
