You probably just forgot about all the bad music you used to listen to and now compares all the new stuff to the best from your time.

And it was just a big coincidence that Epic removed Linux support exactly when the Steam Deck got announced...

I think it still counts, due to all the work they did on the software side.

There are many different ways to define "stable". Linux is better in some, windows might be better in others.

Sadly I can't think of many examples for things like this in my own life. I can trace some of my work habits back to past coworkers, but when it comes to taste and habits from my personal life, most of it comes from me trying things on my own.

Coming back after a week to share what I thought of it:

• I loved the app itself and all the different ways to input values

• the different game modes are quite creative

• all the extra restrictions added by the different game modes make the puzzles a bit too easy for my taste

• miracle mode is fun until you get a few numbers in, but then it becomes quite straight forward again.

• all of the puzzles (at least as far as I played) follow the same pattern and when you notice it you can skip the whole sudoku part and answer it just by pattern recognition.

There's basically two things:

• the Pope can make no mistake when talking on behalf of the whole church;
• the Pope is assisted by the holy spirit when interpreting the word of God

10 introduced a bunch of cool stuff that made it seem like it was going places: WSL, the new terminal, multiple desktops. If you're able to ignore the sad state of the control panel and settings apps, 10 was peak windows experience (feature-wise).

Then 11 came around and fucked everything up. As someone who subscribed to MS Insider to run beta builds of windows and get updates earlier, win 11 was the first iteration that really felt like there was just no upside to it. It was exactly the same as win10, but with some features removed and a much heavier hardware requirement. Even Vista (microsoft's most successful OS) had some cool stuff going for it back in the day, but win11 was nothing but one disappointment after another. Shit it wouldn't even let you keep a clock on the second screen until like a year after release.

I wouldn't say it's nothing. It's a lot less meaningful that it used to be but it can still be effective. Whoever killed that CEO last year only needed a basic gun and they managed to make America slightly better with it.

I wouldn't put it past them to still use other people's self driving cars.

It does happen, but it's once in a blue moon and not something that can keep a whole business model going.

Not exactly the same, but similar: when working with sprites for games, I often run into situations where I realize way too late that I need the size of each frame to be slightly larger than what I had been working with it. You'd think that having the ability to resize an image by adding extra padding to each individual frame would be a pretty common feature in image editing software these days, but nope. I ended up writing a small tool specifically for that just so I wouldn't have to adjust frame by frame ever again.
