99% sure it - or large parts of it - are AI generated.

But in this case it’s the content that counts, not the artistry.

Here’s a few more: https://www.cracked.com/article_15227_12-great-video-games-with-ridiculous-premises.html

And what benefit is there in upsetting someone else purposely, regardless of what they did? Seems it will only aggravate the situation instead of deescalating it.

Sure, but in the meantime I need to work with what I have… which is Intel (on some machines, at least).

I also had this once.

This might be the answer: https://integraudio.com/why-headphones-cable-sticky/

“The Unbound will never be slaves again.”

“Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.”

Honourable mention: “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee.”

Both. The remastered is essentially the same. They took some mechanics from HW2 and used them in the HW1 remaster. Like the auto-collection. Bothers me somewhat, but I figure it’s because of the new engine.

But generally they’re the old games with polish.

That said, Cataclysm just hit different. What a game!

Some hurdles are so hard to overcome, I tend to give up at one point.

No Man’s Sky. Keeps drawing me in.

Homeworld 1, 2, Cataclysm. Forget the latest one.

Need for Speed Most Wanted.

Horizon 1 & 2

So many more…

Really wish they would have extended that game. So much potential and then they seemed to have given up.

This makes me happy. 🙂

SVN is still great if there is a need for strict access controls and central control matters a lot. Auditing is also a bit easier with SVN.

It caters more for a linear workflow, though. So modern large teams won’t find joy with SVN.

Gitlab, Gogs, Gitea… you can run all those locally.

Basically some reasonableness.

Set boundaries. Meaning you probably should choose specific times to check the news. You could for instance check once in the morning and once in the evening. Or even only on specific days.

Also curate your sources. Follow outlets that offer reasonably balanced reporting. Misinformation and sensationalism are your sanity’s worst enemies. For example, don’t get your news from social media (as is so common with many and which leads to a host of other issues…).

Try to avoid doomscrolling. If scrolling starts feeling like sinking, it’s okay necessary to stop. You really don’t need to absorb every detail to be informed.

And just something I personally found is to balance bad with good news. Spend time with positive stuff. Even in this timeline there’s good to be had.

The Mayonnaise part was hard to watch… 🤢

You should post this in unpopular opinion and add a reason or three. It’ll make your day.

3.1 looked terrible.

2000 was stable and looked decent for it’s time. Enjoyed the look of 10, but behind the scenes it was invasive. 11 is terrible on the looks* and the invasiveness.

*) seriously… it looks dated and cluttered after using something like Gnome for a while

“I present: the Jericho.”

Sadly, quite a few things. Here’s a few:

• Application support; some popular software is built with Windows in mind.
• One-click installers; Software usually comes with user-friendly installation wizards. No command lines or dependency juggling. Also better compatibility woth past versions
• Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
• Better peripheral support like for printers, webcams, game controllers.
• Gaming performance; although Linux is gaining ground, Windows is just better in this regard
• Media codecs and formats; again, Linux is getting better, but this isn’t always an out-of-the-box experience
• Business integration; Windows plays nicely with enterprise tools like Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and legacy business apps.

Don’t get me wrong. I use Linux as my daily driver. That also means I get frustrated on occasion when again I must consult man pages instead of just running a troubleshooter or fiddling with Nvidia drivers instead of just running the game.

Personally I find that linking “making money” with “climbing the social ladder” is at the core of many of our issues.

Going even further, ranking each other based on factors like wealth, education, occupation, influence, etc. is degrading and leads to inequality, corruption and emotional/mental health problems, to name a few. The idea that success is measured almost exclusively by economic gain and social rank distorts human values.
