To be fair I wouldn't want a Firefox monoculture either. I would like more usable open source browser engines not fewer. The problem with Chrome/Chromium is not that it exists but the way it is tangled up with monopolistic interests. Healthy competition and more user choice please.

Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It's not really my jam but it's the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.

The Internet was already a teenager by then. It hooked up with Hypertext and the result was this brat called WWW.

My first WWW experience was trying Mosaic on a computer without an Internet connection. I knew what the Internet was, we had access through an X.25 PAD (kind of like a dial-up shell session, no direct TCP/IP) so I'd already used IRC, Usenet, FTP, Archie, Gopher etc. I also knew what hypertext was from various local help and document browser programs. So I figured out that Mosaic can display HTML documents but of course without Internet connectivity just showing some local demo pages didn't seem all that special. But I figured it out later on...

I haven't played the game yet but I am very curious what about it might have this effect. Is it story related or some gameplay element?

I don't mind spoilers but maybe mark it up as such if needed in case others do.

One reason I like RSS is that it's so easy to fold it into my email workflow using rss2email or similar tools. It continues to work as it did when I set it up 2013, it only changes when I change it.

I like my 8bitdo controller but I have an older model so can't speak for the more recent ones.

On PC and Steamdeck Binding of Isaac and Brotato mostly, my most played comfort games. Looking to get started with Lonestar soon.

On mobile I got back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I've been paying classic roguelikes for a very long time. Never gotten very good at them but I still enjoy every run and inevitable death.

Mesa 25.0.0 Release Notes / 2025-02-19

[ 5067.696] (II) Applying OutputClass "AMDgpu" to /dev/dri/card1

Make sure that you actually have permission to that /dev/dri/card1 device. This may be arranged by udev or "video" group membership.

Regarding AMD vs Nvidia, unless you need CUDA you probably made the right choice. This sounds like a config issue and you'd probably be dealing with the same thing with Nvidia too.

To be fair the "no USB support" window was quite short. USB started becoming available to consumers around 1998-1999 and there was some level of USB support in the Linux kernel within a few months. I remember using an early USB stack written by someone else that Linus didn't like so he rewrote it from scratch. Even the new Linus stack was in place by 1999. We got USB-2 and 3 support pretty quickly too.
