I prefer my omelette without sperm, but to each their own I guess !

I don't care what bias they do and don't have ; if you use an LLM to select résumés, you don't deserve to hire me. I make my résumé illegible for LLMs on purpose.

( But don't follow my advice. I don't actually need a job so I can pull this kinda nonsense and be selective, most people probably can't )

You should switch Organic Maps for CoMaps in the checklist.

The only irreplaceable thing Google has is YouTube.

Game Pass is the same scam as Netflix was back then, and I'm not falling for it twice.

Netflix used to be too good to be true as well. 10€ a month for literally everything ! Now they don't even make blu-rays anymore and you spend more time looking up which service has the thing you want to watch than watching it, so people are pirating again.

I'll stick to physical games and GOG as much as possible.

You can set it up to compile all your software yourself with the exact options you want, just like Gentoo. Not how most people use it, but still, NixOS can fulfill some of the same roles as Gentoo, they are very comparable.

Pretty weird guy, honestly. Seems competent, but spends too much time complaining about other people instead of working on his own stuff.

As a 1998 French Zoomer, they were never allowed in class, and only allowed at recess in high school.

This may well be true, or false ; it is a dangerous thing to believe regardless. It will always be better for the world to believe we can improve it.

But they don't have GrapheneOS 😟

He is the enemy of literally everyone, so, I guess God is also on that list 😂

I had no idea they were still going 😮

No, the fact it's technically legal doesn't mean you have to make it easy for them.

If they could stop blocking real users at the same time they block AI crawlers, that would be nice.

Use Obtainium, and try to get apps outside of F-Droid as much as possible. Their method of signing apps themselves introduces a huge single point of failure in the security chain...

I'm only 1 gen ahead with a RTX 2070 and I have yet to see a game not be able to run on Ultra on it ; but that's probably because I haven't been interested in any new release since Elden Ring 😅

While this is bad for the market, it's also entirely expected.

Xbox have been producing sub-par hardware with names no one can remember and barely any exclusives, it was only a matter of time.

To other Europeans : do you know anyone who owns an Xbox ? I've only ever had one single friend in middle school who had a 360. I've never seen any other model outside of an electronics store.

Their current gen is hamstrung by the existence of the Series S, and the utter lack of features in their controllers (no gyroscope or any motion sensors ? No advanced rumble ? No touchpad ?). No one who is serious about controller gaming buys an Xbox controller, especially because of the lack of gyro.

Their dedication to digital-only and pushing the games pass also alienates anyone who wishes to play physical games and/or offline.

It sounds like a cool distro but I don't see any advantages compared to NixOS, aside from maybe the option to make it more minimal for constrained environments.

Hopefully you love enough different things that you can do some of them for work, and some of them as hobbies.

Don't break userspace. 32-bit support should never be removed.
