You should never feel bad for turning difficulty down.

I have heard them called “knowledge-based games”. While not catchy, I think it’s accurate.

I emailed Lifeformed back in 2020 to ask permission to use their music in a video and they were so nice.

The Dustforce soundtrack is so good, and the Tunic soundtrack does such an amazing job at elevating the game.

I chose the middle option for things I’m not hosting, but could see myself hosting in the future.

The worst part about quadlets, IMO, is that they don’t use the same key words as podman run does. So turning a working podman container into a quadlet can be challenging.

I’m in a similar boat. The difference for me is that I can definitely tell times where I’m faster. But there are still times where I fumble around. I know that eventually, I’ll be way faster using vim motions than I ever was without them.

When I first started actually trying to use it to do work, it felt pretty bad. But once I got over the hump it felt better.

I think I’m at the point where I’m at least as fast as I used to be, if not slightly faster.

The ease of switching really just depends. Myself, I’ve had several stumbles switching, but I’m still so happy I did and I’m not going back. My wife on the other hand, has had no issues switching from her Chromebook, because she’s a super basic user who spends all her time in the browser.

Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it’s magic.

containers should be immutable and not be able to write to their internal filesystem

This doesn’t jive with my understanding. Containers cannot write to the image. The image is immutable. However, a running container can write to its filesystem, but those changes are ephemeral, and will disappear if the container stops.

Steam OS is not, and will not be a desktop OS. Bazzite is the desktop OS you want. No need to wait. The future is now.

There’s a good deal of misinformation here. The main part being disk space. While it is true that flatpak apps will take up more space, it’s not nearly as bad as you think it is. There is a lot of really good optimization going on under the hood that you don’t see. Dependencies are de duplicated. I’m no expert on it, but I believe that dependencies also have delta changes from one version to the next.

Regarding apps not supporting building of the source, you should get over that or do the work of supporting it yourself. Open source is a hard, usually thankless job.

For me the problem is that he LARPs as Tony Stark and idiots but into it. He pretends to be a smart engineer when he lucked into all of it and is really not all that bright.

Streets ahead

People love to prove how “smart” they are. It’s extremely reliable.

I unfortunately still mindlessly scroll Facebook when I’m bored. When I see some kind of obvious rage bait, people will trip over themselves to comment about it, even if a thousand other people have already said what they came to say.

The kind of things I’m taking about are like this. Completely mispronouncing a common word in every single video. The kind of word that no one ever mispronounces. Or someone opens their refrigerator to get something out of it and there’s random items conspicuously placed in it that obviously didn’t belong there.

The kind of things that anyone with half a brain knows is purposefully done. And yet thousands of people will shit themselves trying to get the comments opened so they can correct the record.

I remember sitting in the hall during school as a second grader taking to a friend. I said, “I wonder if you farted in a balloon if it would float.” A teacher overheard me and scolded me about it, for some reason.

I was gonna say… Labeling TYT as left these days is a bit of a stretch.

That picture makes him look like an alien from Mars Attacks.

To me, going and picking up food IS the lazy option. I refuse to be lazier than that. I mean, that’s not true. If delivery was free, I’d use it.

It’s a contracting agency. Not individual contractors. Unfortunately we have lots of rubber stampers on our team who approve code while you’re not looking. And let me be clear, we have on shore who contribute awful code, too.

It’s all a mess.

They would wheel out a goddamn trebuchet to eject him about it.
