Linux desktop adoption doesn’t fail because new users can’t learn.

It fails when we welcome them with a pop quiz.

When someone says “I’m trying Linux,” and the first response is “Actually, it’s GNU/Linux,” that’s not help — it’s semantic gatekeeping. Status signaling disguised as “accuracy.” And it pushes curious newcomers right back to Windows/macOS.

Decentralization shifts risk rather than removing it. Running your own services reduces dependency on platforms, but increases dependency on your own operational discipline. Backups, updates, monitoring, and recovery are no longer abstracted away.

What used to be handled by a provider becomes a set of explicit responsibilities. When something breaks, the cause is usually mundane. A missed update, an expired certificate, or a backup that was never tested. The tradeoff is autonomy for responsibility, and it is only obvious once you are operating the system yourself.

Everything is a subscription now.
Not just software or streaming, but attention, work, and time.

I wrote about how we got here, why it feels exhausting, and what it’s quietly doing to modern life.

It's an early #DailyBlogroll (and tomorrow might be late). Stories from Wilhelm, Dave Winer, Azuriel, Jamie Zawinski, Michael, Roger, Tipa, Warner, Aywren, Shintar, Ellie, Kimimi and more! westkarana.xyz #Gaming #MMORPG #IndieGames #TechCulture

Aywren digs into Sundial Games’ solo D20 quest calendar The Souls of Saraku, enjoying the villain-side twist, Notoriety/minion vibes, and—importantly—taking a break from daily live-blogging burnout. Shintar says goodbye to SWTOR creator FibroJedi’s soon-to-vanish site, credits his disability-informed perspective on story modes, and helps preserve old SWTOR posts by tracking them down on the Wayb. Azuriel is wowed by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s trippy art and mocap-driven dialogue, but finds the turn-based Soulslike combat (QTEs, parries, limited healing) a real drag. Kimimi loves Alien Breed ’92 Special Edition as a ground-up rebuild with Gauntlet-ish roots turned into tense survival—limited ammo, persistent resources, and nasty door/key choices that haunt yourrun Ellie reviews Wavetale as a breezy modern 3D platformer throwback—Sigrid vs The Gloom across ocean islets—scratching that Spyro/Jak-era itch while leaning into a narrative adventure vibe. Wilhelm looks back on Project: Gorgon’s long road—failed Kickstarters, Steam Early Access, and Sandra Powers’ passing—before finally celebrating its hard-won 1.0 release. Roger says Der Tiger AKA The Tank isn’t Fury-style WWII action so much as horror-adjacent dread, praising the eerie atmosphere, convincing Tiger tank effects, and strong performances from the crew. Michael flags reports of ICE detaining parents of Ypsilanti students, urges locals to stay alert and get involved, and pushes back on claims about enforcement

Pretty big #DailyBlogroll rewrite last night, hope it still works. Stories by Wilhelm, Dave Winer, Anarchae, Frostilyte, Shintar, Warner, Andrew Plotkin, RPG Codex, CrazyKinux, Aywren, Emily, Luna and more! westkarana.xyz #Gaming #MMORPG #IndieGames #TechCulture

Aywren walks through FFXIV patch 7.41’s Obscurum Phantom relic step, covering the crafted/purchased mats and the Crystal Paste “light” grind via the Phantom Glass activities list. CrazyKinux breaks down why EVE Online’s player-run production, logistics, and trade feel like a real economy—especially since destruction isn’t failure, it’s the demand that keeps everything moving. Frostilyte reviews Confidential Killings as a solid point-and-click mystery with Golden Idol-style fill-in puzzles, but says the deduction feels too lightweight to really stand out. Shintar shares her Star Wars: The Old Republic Total Galactic War Conquest routine, breaking objectives into tiers and explaining how she reliably churns out millions of points. Luna curates a seasonal indie-game list (12 total), leaning into cozy winter vibes like Winter Burrow and ILA: A Frosty Glide, with quick notes on mood and even motion-sickness caveats. Infinitron rounds up news on Ashbane, a turn-based tactical RPG about building a mercenary guild with long-term class progression, risky contracts with consequences, and regular Steam dev updates. Wilhelm digs into Blue Prince, a roguelike-ish puzzle deckbuilder where you draft rooms to reassemble a shifting mansion day by day, homonym jokes firmly left on the table. Andrew Plotkin corrects his Infocom release timeline—Deadline comes before Zork 3 and Starcross—citing Softalk, the Fact Sheet, and serial numbers while keeping his Patreon plan mostly intact. Warn

Modern tools increasingly expect users to understand what is happening under the hood. Self‑hosting, encrypted messaging, hardware wallets, custom firmware, and decentralized systems all require a level of operational awareness that platforms once abstracted away.

This is a measurable shift. The rise of documentation‑driven communities and configuration‑focused tools reflects it. The old distinction between using a system and running one is breaking down. In some corners of tech, you are expected to be both. Projects like Matrix and self‑hosted email are concrete examples: users are routinely expected to manage keys, understand federation, handle backups, and debug protocol behavior that was once invisible behind centralized platforms.

Tuesday is #DailyBlogroll day with stories by Wilhelm, Dave Winer, Nimgimli, Jamie Zawinski, Nicole, Shintar, Roger, Kimimi, Warner, Syp, Krista, Stargrace and more! westkarana.xyz #Gaming #MMORPG #IndieGames #TechCulture

Stargrace’s WoW gold log: 4.4 million this week thanks to better sales as Remix ends, mostly pets/transmog/recipes, plus a side quest of spending big on housing collectibles and letting auctions lapse Syp hits level 20 on a TBC Shaman in WoW Classic, raves about Joana’s in-game leveling guide and friendly small-scale community moments, then groans at the marathon water totem quest. Roger commits to a magic build in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon and is pleasantly surprised it’s not just glass-cannon stuff—spells, cubes, and wands can put out DPS and stay alive. Nimgimli finally finishes Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and loves it—if you play it in focused bursts—because the dodge/parry timing skills get rusty fast, especially across Xbox vs PC. Kimimi’s Resident Evil Village write-up is more diary than review, riffing on the Winters’ “post-hell” setup, the dark fairytale framing, and how the game’s vibe lands across chapters. Krista revisits Pearl Abyss’ DokeV—open-world creature-collecting with Korean folklore flair—and wonders where it went, since the big 2021 reveal still hasn’t turned into a release date. Shintar tests WoW’s new housing endeavours and finds the real problem isn’t “two dailies,” it’s murky UI, diminishing returns, and progress so tiny it feels like you’re pushing a boulder alone. Wilhelm wraps up five No Man’s Sky expeditions, then hits that sandbox whiplash—so many goals (bases, freighters, achievements), but no checklist, plus some base-building q

Why AI Feels So Terrifying

AI fear is a smorgasbord — job replacement, existential questions, and uncertainty about superintelligence.

This episode features Jocelyn Burnham discussing why fear dominates the AI conversation and how firsthand experience leads to clearer thinking.

Imagine people swarming a neighborhood, testing every front door to see if it’s locked, even trying out a bunch of random keys they found on the street.

If they find an unlocked door, they don't just walk away—they leave a note in the mailbox: "Your door was open. Here is my PayPal info."

Wouldn't that be insane?

Yet, in the IT world, this has become our daily reality.

#Infosec #CyberSecurity #SysAdmin #TechCulture #Security

A comic-style illustration showing a suburban street where several people are scurrying between houses, checking door handles to see if they are locked. Some individuals carry large rings of keys, attempting to unlock various front doors. In the foreground, a man is sticking a yellow note to a door while a speech bubble reads: "YOUR DOOR WAS OPEN. HERE'S MY PAYPAL." A thought bubble above the scene displays icons of a smartphone and a server rack, linking the physical scene to digital login attempts and "security researchers."

One day before the Snowpocalypse, just time for a #DailyBlogroll with stories by Wilhelm, Dave Winer, Scopique, Joar, Bruce Schneier, Cliffski, Nimgimli, Syp, Warner, Michael, CrazyKinux, Tofutush and more! westkarana.xyz #Gaming #MMORPG #IndieGames #TechCulture

Syp’s LOTRO Captain hits Ered Luin, praises the zone’s pink-purple beauty and packed design, and finds the run freshly different by playing a Dwarf—axes, boar rides, and all. Nimgimli gives Wasteland 3 a real try: loves the tactical combat and character builds, finds the RPG wandering tedious, and ultimately bails on the crass, edgy tone. Scopique’s weekly grab bag: the Obsidian journaling plan fizzles, motivation dips, gaming malaise drifts through WoW and Hytale, and the Fable reboot has him cautiously hopeful for Autumn 2026. Wilhelm dunks on Zuckerberg’s metaverse money-pit pivoting to “AI slop,” then worries Enad Global 7’s new power players may squeeze Daybreak as EverQuest/DCUO sag. Michael opens with solidarity and GoFundMes for Minneapolis families, then pivots to indie finds like his British Game Generator, ZX Spectrum shooter Go-Go BunnyGun, and Perfect Tides: Station to… Cliffski says Positech is funding a solar-powered borehole for a school in Bagam, Cameroon via Building Schools For Africa, pitching clean water as the biggest time-saver for kids’ education. CrazyKinux digs the For All Mankind Season 5 teaser, loving the “space as infrastructure” vibe, getting Mars-trilogy nostalgia, and hyping Mars as a messy real place—not just a destination. Joar argues “career stability” is mostly theater—Big 4 layoffs and restructures prove loyalty is one-way—so real security comes from adaptability, transferable skills, and optionality.
