Or is the problem that he's wearing khaki instead of the canonical blue-Jean shorts?

He joined Unity in 2014. I don't believe for a second that a board of investors agreed on anything for that long.

Let's be honest though, included earbuds were pretty universally garbage and the world is probably better off without the ewaste.

That said, please bring back the headphone jack.

They should reopen and just stop doing any moderation beyond the bare minimum to keep the sub.

The friggin "definition of insanity" quote that is usually misattributed to Einstein. From some cursory research, a lot of first appearances of the quote come from the 80s, though I saw a few different sources from Narcotics Anonymous pamphlets to mystery novels.

Just realized this is BDG, so nevermind this is actually literally perfect.

I've questioned it before when I just didn't watch where it went, but it usually takes just a few seconds to figure it out most of the time.

Now Android on the other hand...

I look forward to 5-10 years from now when the people who were kids now start pointing to this acquisition as the negative "turning point" for Blizzard because they liked Overwatch 2.

To open this were going to use a 50 thousandths turning tool and this wave rake from the Covert Companion... And just that quickly, we got this open.

I'm certain he could make me watch an hour long video on almost anything, he's such a talented writer.

I've had this happen. I never did figure it out, personally. I distro hopped a bit and eventually ended up back on Arch and it didn't happen again, so I guess it was a bugged install?

Journalctl might be a great friend here.

I want this specific update now. Actually so much better.

And you can make Acrobatics a class skill for super fuck you hard mode. I didn't know this as a 13 year old playing Oblivion, and I thought "levels good" and wondered why I couldn't get into the game for years until I learned about this little "quirk" of the leveling system.

I tried to get it to tell me how long it would take to eat a helicopter, as it's one of the model's pre-built prompts and thought it would be funny. Went through every AI coercive tactic that's been thrown around and it just repeatedly said no and that I should be respectful and responsible about the thing. It was quite aggressive and annoying about it.

My cynical take - it's what MacOS looks like and they've been throwing away their own identity to copy Apple for years now.

No, this is an absolutely bog standard low-end fridge here. He's just interested in clever engineering, no matter how mundane it is. His toaster videos are an excellent example of this.

As an occasional sys admin, they've had stuff like this for enterprise forever, it's just self hosted. This is about as surprising as the sun coming up, they've been moving lots of their enterprise tech to consumer subscriptions.

Absolutely. I'm a Z (25), worked help desk for a little while. It's entirely more individual interest and inclination, generational divides don't necessarily make everyone suddenly tech wizards. It usually just means they don't struggle with their phone much and feel comfortable on the internet.

I've been tinkering with Hyprland myself this week. Your layout looks pretty nice.

You might need a new a different bed. That and exercising regularly completely killed my lower back pain.

No no, that's the correct reaction.

It is in your best interest to stay out, it is an unholy place.

Sincerely,

Someone who was into it in High School, but not like they're into it.

I'm right there with you, to a borderline unhealthy degree. I heard the advisor for my current empire in a dream the other day.

Especially a decade ago before archinstall

These days it is comparatively easy.

Jetbrains, all round. Datagrip is way faster and easier than SSMS for day to day queries, Clion does a great job in almost anything compiled, PyCharm makes it easier to manage large Python code bases over standard, the list goes on. Their software is expensive, but so so good.

You should check out issues brought up about this article by other comments since yours.

Depending on your puzzle solving abilities, Outer Wilds (not Outer Worlds!) should only take around 15-20 hours.

Extra bonus, it can be played in very short sessions very easily and has a great in-game log of events in case you have to put it down for a little while.

Man I love this album so much. I listened to it first in mid-late 2018 and it really sent me down a rabbit hole. Since then, King Gizzard has very much become my undisputed favorite band. Polygondwanaland is still perhaps my favorite album, I go out of my way to make listens extremely special so I don't wear it out for myself.

I think a more recent album that is closest to Polygondwanaland in concept is last year's Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava where each song is supposed to use a different Greek musical mode.

I want part 2 like, yesterday. It's such a good game, I'd play it day 1 no question.

Last time I tried to get Wayland on KDE a few months ago, it was a bit of a pain to get it working properly and then it was pretty buggy. Admittedly this was months ago, on Nvidia, and regular updates on making it better have been coming pretty consistently.

Got a job offer for basically my same job +25% pay. Hoping my current place is willing to negotiate a match though because going to a bigger company would also give me less freedom to work on what I want.

Waiting to call my boss this afternoon.

It's stressful, to say the least.

It certainly wasn't incredible, but for Sonic a 6-7/10 is basically a 9/10 to hardcore Sonic fans. That's okay, and it means the game inherently isn't for everyone. It's got lots of issues, but I think if you can look past the surface level details it has a lot that it does right too.

It's definitely, from the position of a jaded fan who tried it after years of ignoring (and occasionally playing because they're so bad) Sonic releases because of the poor quality, the best release in a long time.

Oh man, it's so good. It's my favorite game in recent memory and it's only competition is probably Hollow Knight.

Don't look anything up, this game is super easy to spoil because of the way the exploratory puzzles are set up.

I like a pretty much stock with tweaks KDE, personally. Nice and simple, utilitarian, but not necessarily minimal.

I've never really cared for the MacOS visual style though.

Unpacking is a great game, but it's a shame it's so short for what the OP (and me, it's part of why I'm here) needs.

I absolutely love Obsidian, despite being closed source. Their community plugin ecosystem is incredible. I use a plugin on all my devices to backup my notes to a private git repo hourly.

Color me surprised to hear that then. The few times I had used them, I couldn't get over how uncomfortable they were for my ear (which is why I never used then much)

That totally depends on what headphones though. Apple's maybe, I wasn't really too discerning last time I had some of those, but on Android it was a mess. Samsung had decent ones some years, Google's were generally okay at best, and LOADS were just actual trash.

Ugh I had to get an obscure PCIe card working a few years back and it was a huge pain. I believe I ended up having to find the broadcom chipset by model because the generic brand driver didn't support it, then the arch repos didn't have the driver for the model, and there were several aur packs available that I had to try one by one. And it was kernel module loaded, so each was a reboot.

Absolute hell of a time, probably about 5 years ago.

Yeah, I feel that man. Hopefully it doesn't happen again though.

I'm in the minority on this myself, but I fully agree. Honestly, I don't even need the discount, tell me I can make a fraction less plastic waste and I'm pretty much there. When I got a new phone a couple years ago, I just put the cable at my desk so I had a spot to plug in misc stuff, but I definitely didn't need it.
