Pagerank worked first, but SEO adapted since with link farming.

To be fair when Google solved SEO spam in 1999, thanks to pagerank, it was no small feat. The others were bad not because they abused ads but because they didn't know how to deal with cheating webmasters.

That's precisely because they made a business around it that they got attacked.

Reading the article, it's not the content that caused the ban but sharing it to too many people (her beta readers) she was seen as a spammer.

Same for me, LAN is 1Gb, my internet connection is 5Gb.

Of course none of the devices get more than 1Gb, but that means than LAN or Internet doesn't make a difference. Especially for Steam games that get downloaded from a very close CDN proxy (probably hosted by my own provider).

I've seen cases where it takes some time to the group of people in the elevator to figure out the obstruction. Because it won't even touch the object, just reopen again and again.

So no, elevators don't do that, and I assume the parent comment is sarcastic.

The discount cycle is on purpose. First you bank with the impatient whales who will buy not even the full version at $70 but the deluxe version with useless cosmetics at $100+.

Then after some times has passed, you do a sale at $45 so people who are willing to pay just this price buy it.

Then lower again, and again until all potential customers have bought the game at the maximum they're willing to.

There are much better devices to tinker with.

Luxembourg is small but it's not a microstate like the other you listed. It's not limited to a single city.

In IT sometimes you open an old project and wonder who the fuck wrote this shit.

As a contractor you tear down a wall and discover the house wasn't built as you expected, and wonder who the fuck built it this way.

Working outside sounds great when you're working indoor all the time. And at first it will be refreshing.

However after a few years (months?) of working outside, in the cold, the rain, the heat, you'll envy the office workers and their perfect temperature open space with a nearby coffee corner.

I don't think it has anything to do with Arch being a rolling distro.

SteamOS isn't a rolling distro, it's by releases controlled by Valve.

Even on a Debian base they could have done the same, like Ubuntu releasing versions independently from Debian.

Because SteamOS is immutable, the simplest today would be to use a Fedora Atomic base.

Some pregnancy test have a small LCD screen

You can connect your Steam Deck to your PC with USB, but all it's going to do is charge it.

Popular distributions are the one you're thinking about.

Some distributions advertise themselves as "gaming oriented" but you don't need those, generalist distributions work just as well for gaming.

Survival of the fittest. As is, the type of game that makes the more money.

Well doom can run on a freaking pregnancy test. At that point if it had any kind of processor and a screen, it can run Doom.

The problem is that the Steam Deck plays PC games, that were designed for a big screen. You can't make the screen much smaller than the current Deck while keeping it legible.

The Game gear and GBA played games that were nothing like the home console games of their time.

This is what the Switch brought to the table. Breadth of the Wild was a great home console title, and you could play it handheld on the go.
