I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked up some feature or low-priority bug only to find the answer is “there’s a PR for this that will be added in 10.9”, commented like a year ago, glad to see the future plan is more frequent but smaller feature releases!

I basically just want a smart watch to be an extension of my phone’s lockscreen:

Tell me the time, and tell me why my phone just buzzed, almost anything else is bloat that’s shaving literal weeks off of the battery life

How far the smart watch has fallen that 5 days of battery life is now “insane”, these things should last weeks

Why does every manufacturer fall for the IPS/OLED meme instead of using a transflective LCD (like what a calculator has)?? My Amazfit Bip gets 6 weeks on a single charge with the screen on 24/7

The 90-9-1 rule, 1% of users create content, for 9% of users to interact with (upvote, comment, whatever), while 90% exclusively lurk

Not even Debian comes with Python 2 these days.

It was only removed 9 months ago

I’m not trying to hate on Gabe Newell or Valve or anything (and not to say that it isn’t a pretty objectively win-win) but I think there’s some pretty easily explainable motivation behind this that isn’t just “out of the kindness of their hearts”

I think the product they intend to sell is actually the software and services (there’s a reason the Deck seems to be sold basically at cost), they’re betting on these PC-based portable gaming devices taking off and being a viable segment of the market that other hardware companies will want to invest into, and if they do, what highly functional and easy to integrate (since it’s all open source) operating system (and its subsequent game store integration) might they be more likely to use?

And why push upstream? They’re by far the largest PC games provider, so more games running on more (Linux) devices can only really serve to financially benefit them

I’ve had an ISP outage take down the local cell towers too, so keep in mind that they are possibly relying on the same fiber network that you do at home
