I love Lilypond! I wrote all of my pieces in that in college. Hated Finale & Sibelius. It’s been ages since I’ve messed with it, but gosh it’s nice to see in the wild!!

Excellent joke. No notes.

As another longtime Vi user - I had a hell of a time & wound up switching back lol

I think for a lot of folks Helix would be intuitive. Vi has her hooks in me, though.

Oh. I know. But you don’t understand - I’m compelled to type it out. I must.

clear. Constantly, and for no reason.

Thank you for the write-up!!

Notes while I’m watching:

1. The “vibe” is different - in my head I translated this to “he likes the GUI more”
2. Minetest has zero “story” / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it’s purely a sandbox experience.
3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
4. Mods are built-in, and don’t require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
5. Customization via the Settings menu

The “built-in support for mods” caught my eye. That’s pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod “sandbox” to play in.

One day I hope to write a “go fuck yourself” email of this caliber.

Is this some European thing I’m too American to understand?

Super Mario 64 - a launch title, iirc? - murdered my control stick. Spinning that around to swing Bowser was a great game design idea, but yeah they didn’t build those controllers to withstand it for long.

I don’t get NixOS

It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.

I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.

Yes indeed

The marketing spin calling LLMs “Artificial Intelligence” doesn’t help.

… the aqueduct?

Could anyone broad-stroke the security requirements for something like this? Looks like they’ll pay for hosting up to a certain amount, and between that and a pipeline to keep the mirror updated I’d think it wouldn’t be tough to get one up and running.

Just looking for theory - what are the logistics behind keeping a mirror like this secure?

This exact post has been floating around Reddit for at least a few months. Looks like ragebait.

The LEGO Skywalker Saga did a better job of telling the story than the movies. One of the few games I 100% completed. Just a fun, chill way to unwind.

How old was he at the time? 😬

Ive got a pair of 12TB Seagate drives in a NAS that have been running great for a few years, now.

I’ve heard varying opinions on Seagate’s longevity, so your mileage may vary. So far, they haven’t given me any issues.
