My situation exactly, and I’m very happy with it. M2 with its speed and long battery life compensates well for some unconfigurable behaviours in MacOS that I have minor gripes with, and for gaming and general Linux goodness, Steam Deck to the rescue.

Can you please elaborate on the security layer that flatpak adds? Some commentators here suggest Flathub is not secure.
Vividly put
OMG 😂, so good! Your comment I mean, not arsenic.
Ouch
Do you have a signed agreement with them on the original schedule? I don’t think it’s legal for them to unilaterally change that agreement.
The title (click bait as it is) withholds the most important qualifier from the text of which AI we are talking about:
"“Overall, our model shows that the job loss from AI computer vision, even just within the set of vision tasks, will be smaller than the existing job churn seen in the market […]”
Sure, computer vision is important for some jobs, but it’s a much smaller subset of jobs that is really deemed protected as claimed by the study. If the knowledge has already been coded to text on the other hand, it’s a different story.
Yes, yes and yes (I contribute money).
I’m A YouTube Premium subscriber, and I’ve been noticing this delay on my TV for a few days now - a very noticeable, long pause when opening the home screen until the thumbnails are loaded. I’ll explicitly check other places too now, I’m not sure if it’s also happening in Firefox for me.
I stick with DuckDuckGo, it stays as it is. Every time I go to Google I see they are messing with the experience, making it easier to end up on sponsored content and harder to just get what you need. Not so with DuckDuckGo.
Depends on the size. Of the pics I mean.
It is referring to that Roblox developer conference. But yeah, somewhat click baity as people might be hoping to get one for cheap.
“To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, “Busy now, please check back later.” (To be fair, in this case “check back later” is a good summary of what happened.)” 😂
I hear you 😁. For whatever reason I stuck with the Vim tutorial and did it a few times over the years. Now I’m using the IdeaVIM extension in IntelliJ - that mode system is just sooo powerful. It has a horrible learning curve, yes, but if you manage to stick with it, it pays huge dividends. I probably know, like, 18% of all commands, and it completely changed how I edit files (mostly for coding, but also text).
It takes time. Twitter (or whatever it wants to be called) has an algorithm expressly aimed at keeping you “engaged”, whereas Mastodon is just a stream of toots which you see based on the time you decide to visit. Should you stick with it, eventually two things will happen:
In the end, maybe you decide it’s not for you, but I’ve been using it for years (since 2017), and over time it’s completely replaced Twitter for me. I’m keeping three accounts for different interests (and one on Pixelfed), logged into all of them using Fedilab. I actually deleted my Twitter account the day the Tucker/Tate interview hit the light of day, but I stopped actively visiting it years earlier. My mental state improved a lot over time since I moved on.
Proton for gaming on Linux has come a long way. You still cannot get to 100% parity with all games and programs, and if you absolutely need something that isn’t supported on Linux, you are out of luck, but chances are that most people would actually be able to use everything they need. I understand there’s also the learning curve and not everyone has time or inclination, but for those that do, in 2023 it’s absolutely worth a try.
This… is actually true. I’ll concede that even as recently as 4, 5 years ago it might have not been entirely true, but now it is - Linux has become so accessible (look at Mint, Pop_OS) while Windows has (somehow) become even more hostile to its user base to the point that an average user would actually have an easier time switching than staying in the long term. I didn’t think I’d be able to write this with a straight face, but I honestly think this is now true.
Just forwarded this pic to my dad. I’ll be guiding him in installing Mint on one of his old Windows desktops this coming Saturday! Wish us luck in the coming years 😂
