The problem with days old threads is I never remember the context. Looks like they were asking if Steams data would be more reliable. Tbh, I think Steam is great for gaming stats, not for general use stats. Statcounter supposedly uses what the browser reports when participating websites are visited.

I’m happy to see more Linux gamers don’t get me wrong. Steam is specifically gathering specs on people who game, the other stat counter (that reports 4% Linux use) is based on what people’s browsers are reporting.

Steam is only installed on one of my computers, I have at least four running Linux. Not to mention plenty of Linux users don’t game at all, so probably not.

I think it’s less the network’s fault, and more on where someone chooses to spend their time on the network. If you’re on Facebook, it is in their interest to piss you off so you stay and fight. But plenty of other tools exist to connect folks online without being manipulative.

It’s like fire, nuclear energy, or most any other tool. Use it right and everyone benefits, use it wrong and people get hurt.

When I was younger I wasn’t sad because I was online, I was online because I was sad and felt out of place in reality.

The cough isn’t the cause of the cold, it’s a symptom.

Also, I gained more empathy the older I got. So you probably need a bigger data set than your own experiences.

This appears to be more geared towards experimentation. Super interesting and more relevant to the article for sure though!

In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Hippocratic Oath saying it didn’t cover the latest developments in medical practice.

I’m just… gonna go scream into a pillow in the corner now.

Never even heard of The Register before right now. Been using Firefox for most of my life. This checks out.

They are tired of right clicking Command Prompt to “Run as Administrator”. They’ve been doing it for decades, they can have one tiny piece of QoL improvement.
