TL;DR: Bridgy Fed is forming a non-profit entity to carry it forwards.

Matt Mullenweg has somehow got me rooting for a private equity firm. What a colossal fuck up.

One of the big selling points of Linux to me was I can automate my install from end to end. I haven’t bothered automating the installer, but once it boots I run a playbook to set everything up and restore most of my homedir from backup. Everything down to setting my custom keyboard shorts, extensions and wallpaper is covered.

These days I run Silverblue and I’m trying to find the time to put together my own build pipeline to build my own images on top of Silverblue’s.

Either way, I have no fear of reinstalls.

It’s literally common practice to refer to the person who wrote some code as the author of it.

The protected title for Medical Doctors is Doctor of Medicine. I can get a PHd in Software Engineering and call myself Doctor.

They’re not trying to iterate improvements, I would put money on them presenting an overhauled dedicated gamepad interface in the next 18 months. That’s still glacial speed, but that’s what happens when you’re a nearly 50 year old company of that size.

Double digit growth from zero is still zero.

Tiktok is a basic human right? Fuck sake what are you like.

I’d say HDMI CEC is the main sign. Why would a VR headset have that when the Steamdeck/dock didn’t?

Using the domain name steampowered.com will finally make sense 20 years later.

That’s a larger equation, and it sounds like it totally makes sense for you. I’ve been working remote to SF for 15 years and made the same choice you did. That experience has also let me see that the comp to effort ratio there is very very good.

This isn’t the only guy hiring in SF. By and large the pay seems really good for below average effort.

Pls no.
