Considering that Gen Z is usually defined as being born between the mid-late 1990s and early 2010s, I wouldn't support the first half of that statement. Everyone born in the first half of 2005 or earlier are 18, making them adults, so about half of Gen Z is adults.

Now whether this article uses that age range properly or whether it's just someone using the term to mean "young people", I have no idea.

But the premise of the article that just because someone uses technology all day makes them somehow invulnerable to scams (something that has absolutely nothing to do with how much someone uses tech) was ludicrous from the start.

Ah yes, because spammers clearly can't afford 8 bucks a month

You'll love what r/steam did. They were forced open and from what I hear users are now exclusively posting pictures of water vapor.

If we're happy with non-godly mythological figures, definitely Sisyphus though.

I mean, you're forgetting the additional power costs that you'll have to pay for running your own hardware, plus maybe ISP fees if you want to upgrade for better upload speeds.

That, and Meta has the infrastructure/paid developers to develop features/respond to issues much faster, which might cause more casual users to migrate over because they see things they desire.

Another worry I've seen around is that if the Meta instance is not blocked/defederated, it could aggregate all that data and sell it, which is something lots of people explicitly do not want.

So what I get from this is that some people need to be forced to write decent commit messages.

Echoing what others have mentioned, commit messages need to document why something was changed and put it into the context of the project. You should do this even for private projects, just so 1) you build good habits and 2) if you let the project rest for a while you don't need to figure put everything from the start again.

I agree, but the issue I see is that if we don't de-federate them, they could aggregate and sell our data, which is something many people explicitly switched off of Meta services for.

Does she actually need Linux or is using a unixoid OS fine? A lot of the time installing homebrew (or whatever the package manager was called) on MacOS can suffice for several use cases.

Other than that, if you're not needing apple exclusive software on it, installing Linux on the Macbook can be a good option.

If you definitely want virtualization, go with VirtualBox

Honestly, just running through the game with the same team (minor adjustments along the way), I didn't notice any major roadblocks and one-shot most gym pokemon without any major levelling. I think the issue may be that you're trying to make a full team of the same type, when one pokemon is completely sufficient.

Now I'm not saying your way is wrong, play the way you enjoy, but building a full team for one gym/camp seems overkill. And this game is slower to level than SwSh from my hazy memory of SwSh, so that may play into your experience.

I didn't really grind XP except one time when I accidentally skipped a gym (levelwise) and faced a much tougher one than the game intended.

Oh, I completely agree, it's still going to be fairly cheap, especially if it idles a lot, I just wanted to point out that it's not going to be free free.

Not to sound insensitive, wouldn't keeping a checklist in a text file/note/etc, then copying it when you want to check it off completely fulfill your requirements?

Really depends on the game. I usually get a lot faster and more precise adjustments using KBM, so I prefer that for games like shooters and anything where precise 3d movement or fast reactions is an issue.

Basically the only games I play with controller are the ones that are really well optimised for controller and kind of meh for KBM and the ones on my Switch.

You don't even need to lock the pc, locking the db is sufficient. The issue allows changing the settings on unlocked databases without needing to re-confirm (at least according to the article).

I mean, CS:GO runs smoothly on Linux, and afaik so do Arma and Siege (not sure on the last one). They're not open source, but yeah, they run.
