Really? Which would those be? So far I haven’t come upon one.

Yes. That’s how you get undetectable rootkits.

Secureboot doesn’t “fuck with Linux”. It does protect you from malware trying to install unsigned kernel modules.

Apparently that driver is unsigned, which is not the normal case nowadays.

Matrix here too. I can’t (and don’t) force others to not use Discord but for the things I set up I can choose Matrix instead.

There’s a critical need for more public servers than just matrix dot org though.

… I get that this is a REALLY important topic to you - but the article also explains how the PS5 is much more expensive (inflation adjusted) at this point in time compared to the PS4. That’s very much part of “doing well”.

Also, that the PS4 numbers are included is no different from the PS3 before - and your claim was that Sony was losing customers at that.

Take the L.

I prefer facts to gut feelings.

Sony said its monthly active gaming users for the year ended April 1, 2025, were up 5% at 124 million users, which is the highest in PlayStation’s history.

Nintendo sells lots of games on Switch. The games industry in general don’t.

Cause (people didn’t buy Xboxes) and effect (Microsoft declared consoles over).

Steam won, btw. Not Windows. The next “console war” will be Steamboxes vs Playstation 6.

It’s a play on “free as in beer …”. We’ve seen all too well that paying with our data isn’t the way to go.

Surely everyone understands a real painting can’t take the heat.

It’s obviously an OLED TV.

Based on my understanding from a psychologist in the family who works with diagnosing ADHD in adults:

1. “GenX et.al.” were mostly never diagnosed as kids. Those that get their diagnosis as adults because they’ve been unable to successfully “handle” their ADHD do get on stimulants, yes.

2. ADHD is a lot more difficult to cope with during school than as an adult where you can be successful in other settings that don’t require you to sit still and listen for days on days.

3. ADHD can become a lot less severe after puberty which means medication might’ve been needed as a child but no longer as an adult.

caveat: Based on my understanding - I’m not the one with the actual knowledge.

All projects should be.

Move to Codeberg (esp. if you’re European) - but please don’t forget to donate something as well. If we don’t pay for actual freedom, we won’t be able to keep it.

I’m sorry to hear you weren’t an adult at 24.

Are you LARPing?

The time spent on housework and child care by Japanese men is at the lowest level on a global basis.

Are the fathers or the mothers the ones to leave and pick up?

Worked 15 years for a Japanese company - never saw a single japanese colleague put family before work.

37M and 24F is not an unreasonable age difference for a long term relationship. Him being japanese I also assume he won’t spend that much time taking care of the kids which means him being old while they’re still teenagers is not an issue in his mind.

Same here, although even earlier. As a family of five Sony’s horribly bad game sharing within the family if you have more than one PS5 (we do) has sealed the deal for us. I’ve just built up two Bazzite-based Steamboxes and that’s going to be our couchgaming from now on.

No PS6.
