I often fall asleep watching Columbo on Jellyfin. It’s a nice, calming, make-believe world where elite douchebags get their just deserts.

I’m assuming ads visible from Earth will be among the first developments.

I assume at this point, the world sees us as the 3rd picture.

Yeah, like Anthropic’s leaked code that was converted to Python and open sourced. It seems proprietary to open source is a bigger opportunity than open source to proprietary. If there’s already a FOSS version, why would anyone bother with a proprietary bastardization of it?

If you’re not gay, you must prove it by wearing a birthday tiara and listening to nothing but Judy Garland the whole day.

Yeah, Bazzite is great for anyone already using Steam. My main personal reason for not using Bazzite is the fact that Steam can’t be easily uninstalled.

We are planning to join the Plasma release schedule starting with Plasma 6.7 (in June), which will make it possible for distributions to ship it in their repositories.

Yeah, didn’t realize this myself. Android TV is just something I’ve been tolerating. I also have a Linux living room gaming PC running Pegasus Frontend and it’s annoying that I often have to break out a mouse and keyboard. Linux HTPCs and couch gaming PCs haven’t really been a great UX so far, so I’m excited to see Bigscreen finally release.

I did previously try Steam gaming mode, but it doesn’t work with a USB remote from my tests. It also treats non-Steam games as 2nd class citizens that can’t be cleanly organized and categorized. Another huge downside is it’s proprietary and collects data.

UE5 has some great tech and MetaHuman Animator is fantastic. I appreciate that they allow anyone with under $1M in revenue to use their tech free of charge. MHA, for example, is the only decent facial mocap available to indies that doesn’t have an expensive subscription.

On the other hand, Epic Games has a lot of shit. I was especially annoyed with their Fab store and shutting down Sketchfab. Hopefully their layoff doesn’t negatively impact what they’re doing right.
