You sure this isn’t just anti-rowhammer et al mitigations?

Play Turing Complete.

If you can finish it without copying solutions wholesale, you’re ready for writing assembly in the real world.

I thought that was called pulling a Christopher Walken…

This is solid advice.

Also, the macOS ecosystem is predicated on you being rich enough (or fool enough) to buy it, and everything is nickel-and-dimed.

Subnautica; at the beginning your pod drops into the surface of the ocean, then you open the hatch and you climb out… to see an infinite expanse of blue sea under a blue sky.

That triggered so many memories for me, I had to take a minute. The color grading on that scene was on point.

One of the Quake games has a section where you get captured, then put on a conveyor belt where you see other people in front of you get mutilated, then that happens to you. That scene almost triggered a dissociative episode.

The original ending of Mass Effect 3 brought me to tears because the Clint Mansell music meshed so well with the on-screen segments, it really moved me. That said I also like the remastered ending; the latter is like the last few chapters of Lord Of The Rings, the former is like an American movie ending.

There’s Marxist-Lenninists, and there’s Lenninist-Marxists, and both groups hate each other… Much like the Monty Python sketch…

I found out that https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/ explains a lot of the dysfunctions that one finds in an office / corporate environment.

Luckily I work in a jurisdiction that would tear the whole C-team a new one if that happened.

I’m not a fan of the idea of safe spaces

You probably haven’t been in a space where you haven’t felt unsafe.

I like the wild and free frontier internet, and Lemmy was feeling like that.

I would disagree somewhat. Lemmy right now has the same feeling as Reddit during the Digg exodus, but the unwashed masses have already started the Eternal September.
