lividly3529··on Loyalty at work no longer pays – and it's employers who are to blame
By the same hand on the employer side. If the doctor employee is good then you want to keep them if they are the only good doctor in town. Even if they're not great if they are consistent you want to reward them because the replacement would have to be convincing someone out of town to move. But if you live in a large city with tens or hundreds of possible doctors you know your doctors will likely be poached but there are also more where they came from so why bother rewarding loyalty when you don't need to be loyal to your employees?
lividly3529··on Framework won't be just a laptop company anymore
AFAIK they largely fixed that problem on their backlogs and have been picking up steam since about a year ago though I doubt they won't have some problems with firmware at launch for the next few launches.

Sir this is a Wendy's. We actually can not serve you lobster. Our kitchen doesn't support cooking lobster so sorry you will have to go find somewhere else.
lividly3529··on Notesnook – open-source and zero knowledge private note taking app
They have most of the server open sourced and have it in their roadmap to go full open source. That said what isn't open source today isn't open source and they don't have an actual track record to open source things they haven't before so YMMV.
lividly3529··on Windows 11 is last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
I was saying for games I own. Not gamers I know. Either way Linux and MacOS have been growing thanks to the increased compatibility through proton, wine, and whiskey and when has increased compatibility ever been bad for the consumer? If I was to play a game or do my taxes why should I be forced to buy a Windows computer is I own a Mac? If I want to write programs or run LLMs why should I be forced to struggle through some obscure arcane Linux distro if I have a perfectly functional windows machine?
lividly3529··on New legislation proposes to take Wall Street out of the housing market
Do you not live in your house? The way I read their comment was 'If you own a house then you have high tax. If live in house 1 allotment of rebates if you also own the house equal to 1 house of extra tax.'

If the "vagrants" dont own the house then they get nothing. If you don't live in the house you get no extra. Probably means that small 1-4 family rented dwellings will be come impossible but larger apartment complexes should still be viable.

A solid 20% of games in my steam library have Linux versions and many (tens of them!) were built for Linux first. Its way more common for indie/smaller dev strategy games though. Also have you seen the android gaming market cap? Depending who you trust most numbers I've seen have double the number of players on Android and iOS then Windows, Mac, and Linux combined and 3-5x the revenue.

Microsoft is using blockchain technologies to manufacturer Xboxes more efficiently and reduce overhead.
lividly3529··on LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
VPN/TOR will traditionally take over all connections and route them through its own tunnel. Yes the tunnel does go over the LAN/WLAN but it does not interact with the LAN/WLAN directly and this is a good thing because it means that everything is sent protected to the VPN/TOR tunnel you use.
