This explains why the huge delay from their promise to release steamOS installer for generic PC systems. It’s probably taken a lot of behind the scenes work to make it device agnostic as well as supporting specific hardware from 3rd parties. This is a huge win though, most deck competitors running windows are hamstringing themselves so having more options in the market will accelerate the support and adoption of more open standards.
I had to explain how the progressive tax bracket works on a per-dollar-earned basis to my 65 year old mother last month. Turns out she had thought the different brackets were the amount paid in taxes on all of the income for the year based on year end totals, which is why she assumed the billionaires were getting hit with 37%+ tax and how it was unfair that poor people paid 10-20% and why she has been advocating and voting for a flat tax. She still isn’t changing her mind about anything but at least she now understands how each dollar is taxed I guess.
Budget. Learn about good vs bad debt. Never live above your means and maximize savings and investments as early as possible. Time is your greatest asset when you’re young, there’s plenty of headroom in a comfortable lifestyle when you have an emergency fund and no outstanding debts.
Thank you, this is the real lesson to take away from this, not some bass-ackwards universe shift again.
Edit: Stray thought about this again, this is why right wing populism is both effective at getting elected and devastating on countries as it shifts to fascism. Appeal to the masses while conspiring to retain power and increase wealth accumulation at the top.
Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.
Turns out, the replay continues to update itself because I just checked back in and it’s there now, with all the session count and hours I was expecting!
I’m a bit frustrated by my steam replay. Not only does it show windows in my platform chart despite my complete abandonment of windows in my home for years at this point, but also one of my most consistently and highest played game (fall guys, hundreds of hours played on Linux in 2024) didn’t even show up in my top games list.
Edit: looks like the replay continues to update itself so it just wasn’t done processing or something because fall guys now shows up in mine as expected with accurate numbers, a new game was added to my number of games player count after I started a new one last night, and they are no longer showing me the platform breakdown lol.
My only gripe is the lack of ChatGPT and search internet for answer options. I want to use both in various situations when Siri doesn’t get the answer directly.
