I’ve run Zorin for about a year for my 13yo’s gaming machine. Most games are through Steam w/ Proton, and almost nothing has been impossible to run. (Except Roblox so f Roblox I guess)

You are technically correct, but the practical thing to do is abandon the term when it’s not forced/tragic. No reason to rehabilitate the term.

And a fun but important fact is that genetic and heritable diseases are not necessarily the same. I went too long as a clinician conflating the two: https://www.veritasint.com/blog/en/difference-between-genetic-and-hereditary-diseases/ (corporate link but correct and well written)

France has flirted with far right nationalism for at least 25 years, fyi

17+ years for me. November would be 18. Since the exodus, Reddit looks like a shadow of itself, but that could be that I only see the frontpage now. What a shame.

You could use foobar2000 with “Album Art Grid View”

Hey don’t choke on that

Cory Doctorow bookends my use of reddit. About 20 years ago I started to read him at boingboing, where I learned about del.icio.us (he had an obsession with “folksonomy”, or organization by user-created tags), the social bookmarking site. From there I learned of reddit and made an account soon after that was possible (it was just the frontpage for a bit). That was 5 Nov 2005, and while I thought I would stay until or after my account was old enough to vote in the US, I’ve let it go. I was user #497, same username as here. Finally, Cory D’s concept of enshittification has found it’s apotheosis, and it’s a bittersweet goodbye for me.

Thanks for reading. Keep it human.
