Climate change argument all over again

Glad it’s there for people who need it. I’ve been fine with branching and stashing for 10+ years and my working directories have never been so dirty that I needed an entirely new copy of the project to do a hotfix.

Tried it on PopOS and wondered how anyone could use it at all. Installed fedora on a different machine and it’s flawless. Probably just the age of PopOS at this point.

Where’s the shocked Pikachu meme…

I wouldn’t go as far as giving it a rave review but it works for me. I don’t need constant connection, just enough to fetch the activity recordings. You can take the activities and load them into something like Open Tracks.

Be aware you’re in for a rough around the edges experience. Garmin etc make their devices for their software only so you won’t get all the features. Without the Garmin app for example I can’t change the watch face or load workouts to the watch, so I have to have my phone on me during runs, which isn’t ideal.

For a second there I thought libreoffice had launched an alternative to Calibre!

One of my primary use cases isn’t covered by this article and that’s a consistent user experience from one terminal emulator to another. I have personal and work devices, and I don’t have control of what terminal emulators I can use on the work device, so tmux is the only way I can work with consistent keybinds and a consistent experience across all terminal emulators with nothing but a single git clone of my dotfiles. Yes I get stuck behind in features but I kind of couldn’t care less about terminal notifications or title renaming (the examples used in the post). I’m always in the terminal, I don’t need notified to come back to a terminal I’m already using.

If I’m wrong please tell me but it’s worked for me for years without too many issues across tons of terminal emulators from iTerm to gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal to windows terminal.

No impact yet. Tried to use it as an excuse to move my friends away from discord but no such luck!

I think the act has merits, there’s just not enough exceptions. The wording is so vague it considers a Minecraft server used by a group of friends who know eachother in the real world as being the same as fucking Facebook.

I’m just waiting for all UK users to be banned from anything that isn’t Facebook or X. It’s absolutely ridiculous and a huge win for big tech as it locks us in to their platforms and their platforms only. Those of us with a bit of tech knowledge will work around it but it’s infuriating.

I love how one of the comments is a completely unironic “did you just assume my distro?!”.

Prince of Persia sands of time, Beyond Good and Evil, Rayman, Splinter Cell, etc. They were very prolific back when they and the rest of the industry understood that you couldn’t just bet all your money on a single title all the time, you had to have some dog-shit movie tie-ins and terrible Barbie games to keep the lights on.

It’s not convincingly worded but I broadly agree with the petition. The OSA was supposed to hold meta etc to account but instead it’s completely cemented their position because they’re the only ones with the resources capable of complying. Instead of punishing big tech the act punishes everyone else. Absolutely ridiculous.

I loved hi-fi rush. I loved the soundtrack, I loved how satisfying the combat system was while still being challenging to pull off consistently well. I always felt I was incentivised to vary my combos because of the DMC-like style meter. I loved the old-school 3d platformer feel as that was nostalgic for me. It was also just such a joyful game. Ok the story has down beats but overall it’s a really happy game. I absolutely loved my time with it.

So-called “security questions” like these are prohibited under various standards (there’s a NIST one that I can’t remember exactly, and OWASP ASVS) because they’ve always been really terrible at verifying it’s actually you answering them, and not just someone who happens to know the answer. Mother’s maiden name being the notorious example.

That’s not what this is about. Everyone agrees that damage to military assets is a criminal action, no matter how you justify it. The problem I and others have is that the actions don’t meet any sort of sensible criteria for what is “terrorism”. Most people would say terrorism must involve mass harm to people, not necessarily property. Lots of other organisations over the years should have been proscribed if “terrorism” means property damage. Anyone involved in the race riots, Just Stop Oil, hell, even Banksy, would all qualify if that was the case. It opens the door for the UK government to proscribe any organisation it doesn’t like, which is especially concerning at a time when the next government is likely to be even more authoritarian and use this event as precedent to do the same but more.

I’ve not used it in anger but the principle just seems like inline-styles with extra steps. However I’ve also had to change something in a large project that had a lot of dedicated classes with specific and shared styles and trying to sort that out without breaking stuff was a massive pain.

I don’t provision any two devices exactly the same way, and if I did there’s nothing stopping that provisioning script/tool from changing or becoming out of date over time since I’d only run it once every couple of years. I briefly looked at nixos but as another reply said, the major hurdle was the documentation and trying to get “the right way” to do things. I remember flakes being mentioned but being experimental and there being two other things competing as the solution to the same problem and at that point I lost interest. I moved to fedora for the first time in a decade recently and installed what I needed via dnf. It wasn’t a difficult enough process to justify learning another programming language.

Clair obscure: Expedition 33. Ok it’s not a final fantasy but it’s similar turn-based combat to FF/Persona with a lot of style and melodrama. Love it.

As a follow-up to this, my friends did buy it, I therefore bought it, I therefore played it and now have about 12 hours in it.

I thought I’d hate it, but I actually like the battle royale-style closing circle of the map. I thought I’d hate the rushed style of gameplay compared to original souls but I actually like it. And I thought I’d hate the fixed character scaling but I actually like it. The whole game is elden ring combat (not dark souls, way too fast for that) but with the experience condensed to its most primitive, combat focused form. If you want story there is some, but it’s drip-fed through fairly typical rogue-like way, so once you pass x number of successful runs you get the next story beat. The run length is a little long at a little under an hour but somehow it still has the rogue-like “just one more run” effect. If I want story I’m not going to play this, but damn is it a fun application of elden ring’s combat.
