Eh, as much as I like Valve and Steam, there's still many issues long after the UI revamp, focused on making steam prettier.

Right, but are the sources all available? You probably wouldn't want to be using the same build for your one device with different hardware, so the question is, do you have what it takes to put the system together yourself?

I don't have experience with doom, but I'm pretty sure I got big performance improvements in DRG in particular going from GNOME to KDE Plasma as my desktop environment.

I don't know if this will help, but it's a reminder that unexpected things can influence your performance.

Doesn't reddit already have NFTs?

Terraria is a truly extreme case, the developers truly just can't stop making updates.

Factorio isn't amazing in this way, but the developers have a lot of integrity - they delivered their plans for 1.0, released some good extra updates, continue fixing bugs, and went to work developing paid DLC. I do suppose the DLC will come with a major update to the base game, but that's also because they found they needed to make changes and additions for the expansion.

To me that's part of the ideology I associate with Arch. If you actually use -h in pacman, I find that the help is presented in a nice and contextual way. You only need a few commands on a daily basis, and most of the other things you might need are easy to figure out when you need them.

In regard to -S being confusing, I think it's basically making the external operations map to how the software works internally. I feel like learning what the software is doing, rather than expecting the software to hide away the details, is also part of it. When you want to do more complex operations, or when something breaks, you'll have a better understanding of what happened.

I wouldn't mind a better interface, I'm not claiming it's the best it can be or even close to it, but I wouldn't want the improvement to come at the cost of obscuring how the software works. I don't want the commands categorized just by convenience rather than logic, or magic buttons that automatically perform a sequence of hidden operations. I want something I can learn, understand, commands I can dissect into their components, not something I'm expected to use in the 10 ways provided and hope it does what I need.

I see this in the same way as people tend to use git - some GUIs will offer convenient buttons with their own made up names, and when git throws an unexpected error, the user will have no idea what the error means, or what the software did to get there.

People often complain that git doesn't make sense. They might have a point in terms of it being unintuitive... But I find that with a general understanding how it's built and what the commands do, the complaints are often people trying to force the issue using the wrong tool for the job.

And, honestly, sorry for the rant. In the end it's just my opinion, I don't want to force it on anybody, I just started writing and kept finding things I wanted to elaborate on. If you're reading this, I hope you have a good day!

Ah, that makes sense, thanks! I haven't heard of the term before so it threw me off-guard.

I think that's least common multiple, as opposed to the greatest common denominator.

It's based on character alignment in Dungeons and Dragons. It's somewhat complicated and I don't fully get it, but the general idea is that lawful characters follow laws (including personal views and societal norms, I think), chaotic characters tend to disregard and even reject them, focusing on their own freedom and behaving more chaotically, good characters seek to help others and follow a moral code, and evil characters seek to harm others, especially to their personal benefits. Neutral characters in an axis behave mostly like normal/average people, generally leaning towards lawful and good, but unwilling to make significant sacrifice and capable of succumbing to temptations.

As for what makes seating positions take certain places on the chart... Yeah, no, it's just personal opinions without too much thought put into a joke. Generally though, IMO, lawful/chaotic would be about following/rejecting the letter of the rule, whereas good/evil would be about following the spirit of the rule. So lawful good sits correctly, lawful evil technically follows the rules but does it intentionally wrong, chaotic good tries to keep a healthy position while ignoring the guidelines, and chaotic evil just does it as wrong as possible.

If they are competent, the website doesn't communicate with OpenAI directly - instead you're sending messages to their servers, and they add extra text to the prompts before sending requests to OpenAI, before they return the replies to your browser.

So no, probably not.

Isn't the secret sauce already available, with the issue being that it's not adapted to run on a wider range of devices? I had the impression HoloISO was just that, but as a community project - putting in all the work to make it installable on various devices (and work correctly)

By that logic, any sorting implementation is O(1), as the indexing variable/address type has limited size
