Honestly, that’s fair. Maybe I was being a little too harsh, plus this gen did come with more customizable settings (IE, setting to “performance mode” or “fidelity” mode)

I feel like every single year just gets worse than the last. Very possible it could be as simple as more widespread social media, but 2015 seemed much less scary.

I feel like we hear this every single time though. “Largest tech leap in a hardware generation” very much means “we’ll bump the graphics a little, we’re still targeting 30fps though”

I ended up signing up for Grafana and Loki, however Loki and Grafana Cloud Logs were both overkill for my use case. As a result, I ended up going with Loggly after consulting a Reddit thread and that has been working perfectly. Thank you, though!

How to Disappear Completely is so good

I don’t have any musicians that consistently make me feel that way, so have a list of songs instead:

• The Price of a Mile (Sabaton)
• Doomed (I Prevail)
• Let Me Be Sad (I Prevail)
• Soon You’ll Get Better (Taylor Swift ft. The Chicks)
• Wildest Dreams (Taylor Swift)
• Tess-Timony (Ice Nine Kills)
• When the Party’s Over (Billie Eilish)

How the hell do you even think “it’s fine, I’ll put this password in plain text” when literally building an app for a CREDIT UNION? Obviously it’s not acceptable to do that anywhere, but you would think they would think just a little bit harder about the decision when working with such sensitive data?

Usually, I get blocked on the sign-up page. For example, on the Coralogix sign-up page, it won’t let me create my account with an email with a @gmail.com extension

That’s why there’s mods! Also, if the caves get samey, you can always go end-busting or build a new project.

Minecraft. There’s always another automatic farm to create, a new cave to explore and a new mod to try out! Not to mention the fun that multiplayer brings…

This likely breaks your company’s terms of use. This can definitely lead to termination, especially since the other OS would likely not be monitor-able by them (opening them up to potential liability, along with the myriad of other issues)

In Atlanta it’s like a -55% chance it works

Very, very real haha

This sort of stuff is why piracy is important.

The things I tend to gravitate towards:

• Flatpak
• Firefox of some kind (lately been loving Floorp)
• Keeper Password Manager extension on Firefox
• try to install some form of backup
• git (if not already available)
• nvm (Node version manager, usually I install the latest LTS)
• Go (sometimes I write Go programs)
• Steam (if I plan to play games)
• Sometimes I’ll install Zsh, sometimes Fish, then oh-my-zsh / oh-my-zsh
• Fastfetch (Neofetch is so slow?)

I’ve been learning Norwegian Bokmål and it’s pretty interesting seeing all the words that it and English have in common (as well as their differences).

Also, Toki Pona as others have mentioned. Might seem like a joke language at first, but the community is really vibrant and kind. You can make some real, meaningful connections through it. Plus, it takes maybe a weekend to get good at Toki Pona.

I’ve been using searxng.site. It’s a deployed SearXNG instance. So far, it works good enough for my use cases. Unless I’m looking up something VERY niche, I get quick results (the images tab is a little slow, but not even close to unbearable).

I would have rolled with Ecosia, but as you can see from my previous post on my profile, I was frustrated that there was no option to filter by “past year”.

Hmm, ones no one knows about…

Probably Icy: Frostbite Edition. Pretty solid, not something to get full-price necessarily but it was pretty good when I played it like 5 years ago. Interesting turn-based combat.

Also, OneShot. My avatar is from that game, I really think almost everyone should play it.

I don’t think this would ever be achievable. It also sounds like a broader form of technocracy (to my very much unqualified brain)
