Joe Bloggs is the UK equivalent of Joe Shmoe, John Doe etc - a common placeholder name for the average person.

And artists are getting paid peanuts in return.

Album sales have plummeted and Spotify are slowly replacing real artists with AI generated music to avoid needing to pay them.

Music streaming is an excellent example of what we don’t want to happen to another art form.

I don’t know why everyone is so clueless. Women are carrying these things around with them everywhere.

What’s your favourite vagina tea? I’m partial to Lady Grey or Red Bush.

Probably little incentive to do so given how much money they’re making from Twitch, YouTube, etc.

Turns out Leslie wasn’t the biggest reason GTA was such a huge success and they’re not taking it well…

As one of those old farts that picked up Minecraft during the 0.0.x days, this isn’t far off. Wrong perspective though.

Right with you. I’ve been using Macintoshes for work, Windows for gaming/personal, and Linux for servers for several decades now and I’m finally done with Windows altogether. I’ve needed a good excuse to ditch Windows and 11 has been an excellent one. The Steam Deck has proven to me I have little need for Windows anymore. I can survive without the one or two games that don’t run on it.

If only my work supported Linux for desktops/laptops…

OpenMW and TES3MP is a great way to enjoy Morrowind in a modern engine and with friends.

There’s plenty of mods available for OpenMW so you can make it look stunning and add loads of new functionality.

They’ve sold between 5 and 8 million copies of that game to date.

I think they’re doing fine without needing a sale and devaluing their product.

I’ve been on the Profiling branch for a couple of years and these changes are awesome. Tanoa was unplayable for me until I switched.

Kudos for Bohemia’s continued support for A3 while we wait for A4 (Reforger has also been a fantastic glimpse of the future of their engine).

I’ve helped two “normies” movie this week because they reached out after they saw the chatter on social (Instagram of all places).

This topic seems to be causing you some stress for something that probably doesn’t have a big impact on you personally.

This isn’t going to be a tidal wave as change is slow. People are hyping it because hype drives attention and being hopeful and positive drives change better than negativity and pessimism.

Again, just scroll past the posts rather than engage if the content isn’t what you’re interested in.

You may be getting bored of the posts but this is a rare opportunity to mass drive Linux adoption and break many people’s dependence on Microsoft.

Even if it’s 0.1%, there’s 1.4 billion Windows 10 machines out there. A million+ new Linux users would be great progress.

If you’re exhausted, just scroll on by. But if you’re a fan and user of FOSS, you should be giving these posts a quick upvote and move on with your day rather than be negative and dissuading the popularisation on Linux.

I’m passing on the Switch 2 for similar reasons.

I can either fund Nintendo to sue open source developers or I can fund Valve who are payrolling open source developers.

They’ve fixed most but “new new” still seems to be there and that “of”.

Bloody hell that article wasn’t even proof read once before publishing. So many grammar and spelling issues!

It’s a headphones cable with a built-in remote so you could put the player in your bag and change tracks using the remote built into the headphones cable.

Also you guys are making me feel painfully old.

Quid umquam pro nobis Romani fecerunt?

Why is this in Latin? Doesn’t this saying stem from Alexander Pope’s poetry?

My hero!
