This was the context I never knew I needed, thank you.

Funny meme but also inflation is bad

I’d say dog pee is the least concerning thing on the list.

Also, parasites 😬

You better be built bigger than LeBron if you can shoot a pumpkin from downtown

Just got Kubuntu set up, quite happy with it so far.

Kinda hit or miss on Star Trek. Lower Decks is just about the best show ever though.

(Mint is good, don’t like Cinnamon all that much, and it’s an Ubuntu derivative anyway, so figured Kubuntu would have KDE ‘native’)

(Tried Fedora, couldn’t get codec/video stuff to work right)

(Steam is generally easier and more supported on Debian derivatives, at least for now)

Then tell them a holy parable about finding cheese.

Good point, should have the cluster size from #3, just offset.

I think the point of therapy is to help you effect changes in your behavior (mental and physical). Sounds like you were able to make some changes that help.

So you’re saying I can make lattes from my tap with a small upgrade? Sold.

Privacy, UI/UX, admin controls, ads, pop ups or notifications, nagging about online services, AI, forced account creation, not working with older hardware.

Might be worth testing Linux with a separate drive. I know people still have trouble with Nvidia, but there are a lot of people (myself included) that just had to install the drivers and have had zero issues thereafter. Mine is a slightly older gaming laptop.

I have a desktop with an AMD card that I tried to put Linux on and couldn’t get the drivers to work. I’m going to try again in the summer and hope they’ve caught up.

I have a coworker who named a file template after the person they were sending the file to. I cannot follow the logic.

It isn’t their fault, but it did happen.

This is part of why penalties have maximums.

They could easily charge $200/file with a cap of $5M. Slap in the wrist for Facebook, ruinous for almost everyone else.

Clever reference to Dr Dre’s 1985 hit single “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” from his debut album Simple Minds. Truly is an unforgettable classic.

So it doesn’t turn into yogurt?

My fridge isn’t full of raw milk or anything, but I think this goose is a better fit for the oven than guard duty.

My favorite apple auto correct: changing the word before the one you just finished. You mentally verify that it’s correct, type the next word, auto correct fucks up the next word and then retroactively fucks up the word you already moved on from. Absolutely brilliant interface.

Hmmm, I wonder if they’re conflating processed foods and red meat again?

Yep:

Eating processed red meat (such as sausages, bacon, hotdogs and salami) was linked to a 16% higher risk of dementia and a faster rate of cognitive ageing. Eating about two servings of processed red meat a week raised the risk of dementia by 14% compared with those who ate less than about three servings a month. (A serving is a piece of meat roughly the size of a deck of playing cards – around 85g.)

If people substituted processed red meat protein for that found in nuts, tofu or beans, they could reduce their dementia risk by 19%, the study found.

A review of studies, published in 2023, found that people who ate lots of ultra-processed foods (of all kinds – not just processed meats) had a 44% higher risk of dementia

Nope, sorry, didn’t think about that for an RTS. Is definitely designed for keyboard and mouse.

I think any fan of the genre should check out

Active development, amazing and customizable controls (seriously, is you’ve ever been frustrated fighting controls in an RTS, they’ve thought of solutions), and an extensive campaign that serves as a unit tutorial (not the most engaging story is my only regret).
