To whom, though? Who would reasonably purchase Chrome, if it were a sale and not a spinoff? Are there any companies where that would feel like good news (because it's that particular company, and not in the "at least it's not as big a megacorp" sense)?

The first I bought for myself was a PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 in 2010. It tided me over for 4 years, until my power supply gave a loud POP, and I replaced pretty much the whole build just in case the other parts were damaged (or caused the damage).

Click through to the website! It's not a lemmy-embedded poll. I was confused at first, too.

Cross the wrong people and you end up not dead, but irrecoverable. Cement shoes, buried alive kind of stuff. Cross a different set of wrong people and you become a labrat. To avoid either scenario, you'll be in a constant state of "undocumented" or false-documented which will keep you in a pretty consistent state of poverty.

Looks like I've blocked 2? One for bigotry reasons I can't recall, and the other for being just having annoying posting habits (applying a license to every comment like those facebook chainletters).

The Steam Deck models itself much more after handhelds and consoles, anyway.

Sure, you're not getting The Most Detail And Power Available Right This Moment, but having a stable target for developers means getting a healthy library for players. It builds value for the customer, who won't want to swap out consoles super frequently to keep up with devs who'll stop targeting old hardware.

Could make sense. If they're smart, they're trying to get a cut of the "exclusive Discord", patreon, Substack kind of money flow.

If they're wildly stupid, they'll try to take over and paywall popular existing subreddits.

See, that's much closer to "(It was) my pleasure", which is a valid English response (though these days it puts people in the mind of "Chick-fil-A employee") than it is "You're welcome".

I feel you've missed the point I was making and assumed I've made another. Age number and year number are different. You're in your first year when your age is not yet 1. You're in your second year when your age is between 1 and 2.

Years follow numbers as in "this year was the first/second/third year of ", not "this year was the year turned X years old"

The language is rooted in the same logic as people. Your first year was between the ages of 0 and 1. The first year before you were born is between -1 and 0. There is no 0th year because 0 is a point in time and not a range in time.

Love the CEO sketches! And they're not even in the top five things Brennan has done, probably!

If you're a little clever with interpolation, you don't need to run at 1000s of frames per second! You'd just calculate how much time after the last frame it would take to cross the line at the last known speed and position.
