What I find more frustrating is undocumented environment variables to override config locations.

The amount of times I've had to dig through the source code for a CLI to find an environment variable to force the config somewhere should be zero. But it's not.

Be careful on that appliance recommendation strategy. Even small businesses salespeople receive kickbacks from manufacturers. And pretty much every service plan from a store these days is underwritten by someone like Assurant.

If you can get in touch with either someone in customer service or a repair tech then you'll get the best info.

Customer service generally has the incentives in the right place. If they tell you something isn't returned often then that means they don't have to deal with you coming back and complaining for no monetary benefit to themselves.

There's also lots of channels on YouTube from small appliance repair companies and they're more than willing to tell you who sucks.

Aw sweet, man made horrors beyond my comprehension.

They do get paid, when a user leaves the original site to visit the publisher and views their ads.

A taxi driver doesn't pay the business that they drive you to for giving them the opportunity to drive you there. You pay the driver for getting you there and then you pay the business you wanted to reach.

This is very much just the huge Canadian media corporations lobbying the Federal government to get more money for no additional work. Something they're very good at by now.

Running on Windows 11 with a 6900XT and Vulkan and DX11 look effectively identical as far as I can tell but Vulkan runs a lot faster and doesn't stutter when loading a new area.

Unfortunately though it tends to crash on tab out which means I need to use DX11 because I play with friends.

Somewhat off topic but does kbin currently have a working API? Every instance I've attempted an API call on just errors out. Same thing when running a local test instance.

Would also likely be a good idea to distribute an OpenAPI spec so people can automatically generate API clients in the future.

Thanks for making such a great platform by the way. Genuinely impressed what a solo dev is able to build with activitypub.

I suddenly feel an urge to install Arch

Not sure what you mean by this. I'm sure Google has issues but companies changing their design language to match current trends isn't exactly a unique Google thing.

I imagine the gap will close pretty fast once kbin gets a proper API.
