The people behind GNOME really should fix the "x is not responding" box when games are loading. Sooo many people on Linux think games are broken, but no it's just GNOME.

Honestly, I feel a bit gutted that I'm not able to help with the track-and-trace programme because my phone doesn't use Google services.

Would be fun to just pop up some pong every once in a while

@Novimatrem From my experience, shouting tends to be very counter-productive. It's a great way to get people to stop listening.

Never ever shout at me, please, it makes me very scared and upset and like I want to just get out of there into a quiet space, thank you

With Nvidia buying ARM (assuming all the regulators approve) RISC-V might get a shot of adrenaline.

"For 18 months, residents of a village in Wales have been mystified as to why their broadband internet crashed every morning.

Now engineers have finally identified the reason: A second-hand television that emitted a signal that interfered with the connection."

Facebook is being all "if regulators don't ease off we'll leave Europe and take our stuff with us."

... this is supposed to be a threat but it's making me happy and excited. ​

now we'll take some questions from social media
