What a legend. The significance of NTP cannot be understated. The internet as we know it could not work without it.

Cool, I might check it out again come spooky season.

For your use case, building from source might be more practical.

Why the hell do you only have 8GB? Are you trying to install flatpaks on a smart fridge?

Anger has a way of adding a few zeros.

The fact that Facebook still exists is proof of this.

Do you play exclusively esports games or something? It’s rare I encounter a title that doesn’t work just fine on Linux. It seems I barely need to tweak any settings anymore.

That game is really jank, but it has a kinda special sauce that makes the core game-play really fun. I used to play a lot until they overhauled the inventory system to a confusing mess. It was so opaque I never tried it again. Did they ever fix that?

That reason is so hilariously generic, they could slap it on literally any executive decision.

Except this is about System Shock 2 and not Deus Ex, Mr. Bot.

I like that you even retained the typo from your irrelevant listicle.

I also prefer a desktop, but I’m not an elitist and I recognize the majority of people, especially younger people, consume a significant amount (if not a majority) of content on their phones.

Task failed successfully.

At least you know the web server is accessible and working and the error is within the application.

Just gotta shout dialup noises.

You used to ignore the phone to browse the internet on a computer.

Now you ignore the computer to browse the internet on your phone.

I was with them until the last sentence, like what a weird takeaway.

Nightdive’s remake of the first one was so good, I was hoping the second one got the same treatment.

I get why Federation can cause issues (most of the time it’s moderation related), but why would an extra option be a deal-breaker? Federation can always be disabled on a per-domain basis if you prefer. In fact, I’d argue it’s best practice to only allow domains on a case-by-case basis to prevent spam and abuse.

On the converse, you can’t enable Federation on a platform that doesn’t have it.

This is the best answer. In 2025, CPUs are extremely complex. There are so many ways to measure a CPU’s performance now, a spec sheet isn’t going to tell you which one is faster (even if you’re very educated in this stuff).

At the end of the day, what matters is: How well can the CPU perform the tasks you need it to?

This means, look at benchmarks that closely resemble the types of tasks (rendering, code compiling, gaming, etc) that you’d want to use the CPU for. Different CPUs often come out on top depending on the type of workload, so find the one that best does what you need it to do.

For those that didn’t read the paper, they are literally attempting to calculate the monetary value of top open source projects.

We first estimate the supply-side value by calculating the cost to recreate the most widely used OSS once. We then calculate the demand- side value based on a replacement value for each firm that uses the software and would need to build it internally if OSS did not exist. We estimate the supply-side value of widely-used OSS is $4.15 billion, but that the demand-side value is much larger at $8.8 trillion. We find that firms would need to spend 3.5 times more on software than they currently do if OSS did not exist.

This is the huge takeaway for me. Open Source saves companies and organizations so much money because it allows them to not have to make that component themselves. Having open standards literally saves the economy trillions of dollars not having to “reinvent the wheel”.

Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker. It means that you either:

1. Use their servers - This requires entrusting them with your communities, just like Discord.
2. Host your own private instance - You can control it, but the lack of federation means it’ll be isolated from communicating with other communities. This makes it really difficult to convince people to use your self-hosted servers.

Until Revolt adds a way for different instances to federate, Matrix is really the only other option.
