Launching after the end quarter is smart. Better bug testing and not being away for the holidays should help a lot.

It’s actually got me thinking why we don’t see more gamer scent stuff on the market in general

RGB deodorant sticks in 3…2…

I just slide ‘em up on top of my head if it’s like, more than 2 minutes but less than an hour, especially in the summer.

Windows as a usable OS.

TL;DR (compiled from additional research as well): Professional level designer Jos van Laar recreates mission “Scuttling the U-529” from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault in Unreal Engine 5 as part of his portfolio. There is no download available for the level, but Nathan Silvers, the original level designer for the game had high praise - though is labeled as “this user” in the linked article.

Here’s another article with more explanation. Maybe, just maybe it’ll inspire a proper remaster, ideally with proper compensation for the artists.

Cool news to learn today though! /gen

There’s a special place in hell for CSS flexboxes

The only constants in this world are death, taxes, and leftist theory being incredibly verbose (said with love).

Solid summary though, thank you for sharing. It reads fairly accessibly not unlike Graeber and Wengrow’s Dawn of Everything.

Similar to other users - repos go down or corporate stuff starts to creep in.

As long as I get to maintain agency over my system I’m pretty content.

It’s wonderful.

I do miss being able to send stuff from my PC to my iPhone though, but that’s Apple’s fault.

Oh thank hell it’s not just me. Every so often I retry the man command only to get frustrated having to flip through six walls of text via keyboard for something a 20 second Internet search would have easily refreshed my memory on.

This exactly.

I enjoy the level of control I have on my Linux machine but I spend about 40% of my time in CLI.

I recently had to troubleshoot a windows machine, and the lack of control was frustrating but every step for that problem was GUI-centric. Everyday people don’t want to remember commands so they can set up their browser and word processor. They want (to them) simple and straightforward.

To us it’s a low bar, and most of us are from the generations that dreamt of a predominantly tech-literate society, but that’s not reality. We have to meet them where they are, and if they want to learn beyond that then we welcome them in.

I think it’s code for Christian nationalism? Basically all the sects of Christianity, especially varying Protestant subsects who insist that they’re totally different when it all boils down to the same basic claimed beliefs, and underlying beliefs of superiority over other human beings, to put it politely.

Thank you, I appreciate it. /gen

Insomnia.

I finally landed on a sleep pattern that (mostly) alleviates/prevents my chronic migraines and today I got all of 45 minutes and haven’t been able to get a wink since. Think Green Day’s Brain Stew.

Trying to keep my meds and routines as much as possible and hopefully stay up/sleep in to where I need to but I worry I’m screwed for the next week or so.

EndeavourOS club! Gorgeous blend between granular control and reasonably configured initial guardrails for a willing-to-learn new Arch user.

I played around with other distros too, before settling into this one. Haven’t looked back after 2-3 years of use so far.

Keep learning, keep trying new things, keep seeking out the perspectives of others (outside of these coworkers of course).

The older people I know who aren’t stubborn and slowing down are the ones who follow the above.

Oonga boonga brain says “survive” in majority circumstances ¯\(ツ)/¯

If you’re starving and have a melon in front of you, brain probably says find a way to open and eat it.

If you’re starving, have a melon, and a person with better survival skills nearby, you’re probably going to want to befriend them.

To try to determine/posit the individual moral “nature” of a social species is silly. (◕‿◕✿)

I have one bio parent I can do that with, and I know I’m privileged to have that. To be able to confide, ask questions, seek advice, break down, or even just play cards together provides a certain level of mental safety I didn’t experience otherwise.

I only hope I can provide even a fraction of that to others; everybody deserves safe people.
