ProtonDB rates 28% of the top 1000 games as platinum ("runs perfectly out of the box"). The rest either need some tweaks, have some issues, or just don't work. My assumption is that most gamers don't care too much tweak with their games, so I wouldn't put that much weight on the gold category. And when it comes to silver and below, that can be pretty nasty.

And when looking at the top 20 most played games on Steam, there's some pretty big titles missing. PUBG (5th most played) is borked, CoD MWII (6th) is borked, Destiny 2 (9th) is borked, Rainbow Six Siege (10th) is borked, FIFA 23 (11th) is borked, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT (13th) is silver, Rust (14th) is bronze and Dead by Daylight (20th) is bronze. So when it comes to "most players", there's definitely a lot of gaps too.

I have a Steam Deck and I can have pretty good gaming experiences on it. Surprisingly even. But it's definitely not perfect, and one of the reasons why I can feel pretty confident in owning a Steam Deck is that I still have a Windows-based gaming PC that I can fall back on.

This reads as pretty extreme over-acting, to me. Think, the very most over-the-top acting from '40s and '50s US film musicals. But, how much your actors should be acting and how much they should be ACTING! is a matter of taste, I suppose.
Some years ago, I was subscribed for The Economist. You needed to call support in order to cancel. Every 3 months I'd do the same ritual: call support; tell them I want to cancel; they offer 50% discount for 3 months sub; I tell them I've reconsidered. Every. Goddamn. Three. Months. And what about all the people who don't know about this? Why can't magazines treat their subscribers... you know... fairly?! Why do I have to be a terrible human being and lie my lay to the actual price?
I’d agree if it was a grift if Tesla was sitting on their hands and not making progress.

FSD on highways has only been released recently. This report is as of Q4 2022. In fact, Tesla themselves say “FSD beta engaged in mostly non-highway miles” in the report.

PWAs will likely continue to remain underused on desktop until they gain some important missing bits of desktop integration.

For example on macOS, Electron plugs into the global menubar, making it easy for web app devs to give their Mac users native menus instead of falling back to a redundant in-app menubar. Nearly all electron apps on macOS take advantage of this feature, and if they migrated to PWAs they’d lose it.

PWAs also lack fine grained control over window chrome which puts them in an awkward twilight zone between browser window and desktop integrated web app.

I think that much of the importance of that step might have been lost in the satire.

The lesson is "create something that people truly want to pay for". If you manage to that goal, then cancellations should naturally decrease and/or sales should increase (depending on your revenue model).

Companies with an abusive cancellation policy are essentially saying that their product sucks and they need to try and hold customers hostage to maintain revenue. That is not long run sustainable.

> this is the oldest trick in the book: talk about the average when it tells the story you want to tell as opposed to the distribution.

That’s a little bit of FUD though; use of an average does not imply it’s being misused. All statistics can be misused when not cross-checked with other statistics, but just because it can be does not imply it is. And to be fair, citing emotional anecdotes and failing to look at the average or any other stats seems to be abused in reporting a lot more often than trying to be tricky with numbers.

The St. Louis Fed published a paper a few years ago [1] showing the distributions of earnings of college degree holders compared to non-degree-holders (called the “income premium”), and it backs up the story of the average here. The average graduate in the U.S. earns approximately double what people that stop at a high school education earn. I was very surprised by that stat, I had no idea the income premium was that big. Even though this Fed paper is arguing that the relative savings (“wealth premium”) is going down for college grads, it’s also pointing out that the income premium is not really going down, and on top of that they’re a little quiet about the absolute number of dollars people have in savings. When grads and non-grads have the same savings rate but one has twice the income, then that one also has twice the money at the end of the day, and the Fed paper argues that’s actually a break-even. (This is another old statistics trick…)

I think the issue here is we don't understand how to.

I can, and do, backup and safeguard my KeePass database in ways many and various. I have a fairly robust system to backup "traditional stuff" - including sync to my local NAS, a monthly off-site exchange of external drives with my best friend, and a cloud sync.

I have NO clue how to backup my whatever this is keystore or database or whatever, in a way that I'll feel confident I can seamlessly resume my life. It all seems to be embedded in some cloudy or device-internal ethereal opaque invisible places that make my life super easy when they work and when I do predictable things, and make my life devastating when they don't work or I do unpredictable things. I'm literally and genuinely and actually scared of these changes - not for when they work well, which is apparently magical; but when they don't work well or I fall through system cracks through some unknown change or issue.
What is there to reconcile?

Nobody is claiming you can't make good money running a small plumbing company or finding a niche trade.

The claim is "on average, those with college degrees out-earn those without college degrees." The existence of skilled tradesmen who earn good incomes doesn't discredit the analysis. They just contribute to average.

More specifically, the path to making good money in the trades can be long and arduous (relative to college and a desk job). Years as an electrician's apprentice earning low wages. A journeyman electrician makes reasonable money, but it's not until you either strike out on your own (with the risk that entails) OR specialize in something in high demand (time to acquire that skill) that the income really goes up into the range most of us would consider high/good.

Welding is one trade I see mentioned a lot. Skilled welders (food-grade, off-shore, underwater) can make excelling money. But, the job is still pretty crap compared to many desk jobs. The food-grade jobs are hot, long-hours, on-call, and wages are only good, not great. The off-shore stuff is dangerous and requires weeks/months away from home.

If there's any good that's coming from these videos and traps, I would hope that it's teaching the children involved a valuable lesson about the results of being a shitheel thief.

However, I am somewhat skeptical that this is the case. The odds of encountering a stunningly well engineered annoyance device when stealing are still pretty low, and while thieves aren't known for their competence with statistics, I think that logic is fairly low-hanging fruit.

With sadness, I have to imagine that for every case of a kid or thief being converted to the path of goodness by these boxes, there are just as many who will angrily continue what they're doing as a "fuck you" to those who would impose punishment on them - which seems to be a large part of the ethos that drives these kinds of thefts in the first place.

I think we're talking about different markets and possibly different timeframes.

I didn't mean to say anything against Linux nor imply that current Windows supports more hardware than current Linux.

I'm saying that one of the reasons Windows is so ubiquitous (on desktops) today is that in the 80s and 90s (during the "desktop wars") Windows computers supported a much wider range of hardware. Especially more than Mac OS who was their main competitor. Users could plug in ISA cards, PCI cards, serial printers, and a bunch of other things and most of the time it would work. The majority of users chose the OS that supported the expensive hardware they already had, and the rest is history.

Similarly: I agree with the statement "One could even argue that being tolerant of shitty hardware is one of the reasons that allowed Linux to become popular" and think it puts Linux in a position to continue to move forward in to the same sort of success that Windows had in the "desktop wars".

>You’re viewing things from the wrong angle.

Nope, the onus is always on the app developer. Even Microsoft is inconsistent with their own Windows apps using overlay scrollbars. Old Windows apps don't have them, but the new app guidelines for Windows 11 actually say you should use overlay scrolling: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/contro...

Windows developers just have to pick which guidelines they want to follow, that's how it goes. I don't know the specifics of keyboard interactions but I'd imagine it also changes over time in Windows and varies depending on the app, because that's how everything is in a nearly 40 year old operating system.

I'll steelman your argument anyway: say there was a standard behavior for all of these things. Someone could start doing a lot of testing on Windows and conceivably adding lots of #ifdef _WIN32 to GTK. That isn't particularly hard to do. The problem is then how that affects the apps if the toolkit now has some behaviour that only manifests on Windows. App developers then have to test that and ensure it doesn't break their apps in that specific environment, and if any behaviour is undesired then they have to start adding more #ifdef _WIN32 as well to the apps. Like if an app has a custom text widget or a custom scrollbar, what will they do? You also can't fix that by making them a runtime switch instead of an ifdef. If there was any custom stuff at all, the users and desktops still couldn't override it unless the app developer added another switch.

There just isn't any way around it, the app developer has to handle it. This is a problem with any toolkit that runs on multiple platforms. I can see why you would think it was less of a problem in GTK 2, because less apps were using it so they had less opportunities to make fancy widgets that don't fit in on Windows. Old GTK 2 versions of Inkscape had their own weird bugs, they were just different bugs. None of these can really be fixed in a toolkit, even Qt has problems which you seemed to acknowledge in another comment:

>Of course, other options in a similar space like Qt aren’t entirely better

I've looked through a few of your other comments too and my answer is the same: If you think the direction is bad, then you should show up and start fixing all the open GTK bugs on Windows. Don't just report the bugs, actually fix them. There aren't enough people to even do that, never mind start adding a bunch of extra Windows functionality. And if you do catch up to the point where you can add extra functionality, then you have to stick around for long enough to fix all the new bugs. That's the deal with volunteer projects like GTK: there is no money to hire experts, if you're an expert in Windows development who wants things done then you need to step up and volunteer.

I agree. But it seems Tesla and Musk don’t. Because Musk said in 2016 that autonomy is a “solved problem” and has been saying every year that they will have FSD by the end of the year.
Wait what? Tesla should be the one providing the data showing that it is safe for their software to be on the road, not the other way round. Vehicles have always need to be regulated to be on the road, rather than retroactive ban after they kill a bunch of people.
Having worked with many people who have used bands for a short time they were not authorized to and never ended up on the FCC shitlist, I would be okay with a very low power, temporary setup to play with/test something in the GAA band because it’s kind of a free-for-all among those who have a license to this spectrum anyway and being low power means you won’t be interfering with much, if anything.

The FCC tends to go after transmitters who are actually disrupting communication and if your signal drops off to the point where ambient noise on the band is louder outside the permitter of your house, you’re not going to get that knock on your door.
