This type of reporting is frustrating and I really should get off the internet.

These surveys are done by consultanting companies that have large investment holdings. For example in this report one of the surveys is from Mercer, who has an investment wing that has a AUM (asset under management) ^1^ of $727 Bn according to their website ^2^. Would there potentially be any sort of chance someone like Mercer never put out a survey that goes against the bullish market driven by AI speculation? Obviously journalists won't think about these things anymore because that will effect their click rate.

No probs. I'm not sure if Lutris follows Semver for versioning their software but, if they do, I guess technically it's still hasn't reach a major stable release so these things will happen (though it's been 16 years now). Plus it is community driven so I'm happy to cut them a lot of slack and appreciate the work they're doing 🙂

I've also noticed too and they've been showing up on other communities with the flimsiest reasons for why it's been posted e.g. "Oh well I made the slopware while using Linux so that's why I'm posting to this Linux community". Their profiles only contributions are self promoting their slop app and nothing else. Shameless

Some communities seemed to be fine with those low effort "I made a slop thing/I'm just going to shamelessly promote" though so I think block profile/unsub is the only option.

Tauri is a cross platform framework and not something specific to the Linux operating systems as per the first rule of this community

"Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise."

Again I might be wrong, and apologies if I am, but the relevance of this post is extremely weak.

Microslop has been a rotten cesspool since it's birth. 50 years of consistently fucking over it's customers, then promising to change followed by more screwing so please forgive me when I say to this Don't... Talk ... Shit ...

Have used Linux for work (desktop and server) for 15+ years. At home I've got Linux for my servers but desktop had stuck to windows because of gaming and audio production software.

The experience in gaming is amazing now on Linux for me and while audio is still quite iffy it's workable.

I have never liked Microsoft so binning them off at home completely is something I've always wanted to do

Rats are brilliant animal model for biological studies relating to humans due to significant similarities to us. I will say though seeing a result in a single study on rats doesn't mean "definitive this is how it works in humans" and think the video should have concluded in a less "and that's the answer" way.

Cool video, just iffy conclusion.

They look delicious!!! Great job. Bet they're wonderful with a good schmear

I didn't agree with his knock on the Clever dripper as it's not comparing like for like i.e. comparing a single cup brew between each brewer.

The Clever Dripper is large enough that making a single 250ml cup isn't risky as the water never gets half way up the brewer and you're going to be picking up a mug anyway too so it seemed like a weird point to make. Though perhaps there are accessible mugs/cups out there so my counter point may be off.

Still the hoop looks like a cool brewer but I find brewing with a Clever dripper so hassle free (I do the water then coffee method so no goose neck kettle needed) that I couldn't justify getting it myself. The price is a little too much in my opinion
