Nearing? I’m already there and I’m the young 'un in my group of gaming buddies. The eldest is in his 60s and we’re all playing most evenings.

Had no idea about this. Very useful, thanks!
I second this, as it’s my use case.
Providing you lay out each note correctly with appropriate frontmatter, Dataview’s DQL and DataviewJS give you all the SQL-like functionality you could want.
Plus a load of useful functionality beyond a plain DB.
Searched replies and was not disappointed. 😄
Also: phone, earphones and mask these days.
Staggering that Myst is at that price. Sure, it’s great, but it was one of the first CDROM games and its gameplay reflects that.
Linux users: People have problems with web(p|m)? Huh, TIL.
An important question, usually conspicuous by their absence with confirmation bias-related posts. But in this case, the source is provided. You can check for yourself and let us know, if you have a Xitter account to see the replies.
Unless Elmo’s added yet another layer of enshittification. It’s hard to keep up.
Great video. (For those unaware, the video’s title is just copying the one used by a UK newspaper when the game was released).
Parallax was one of my favourite C64 games, and Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder were my favourite Amiga 500 games. Just amazing.
Growing up outside the UK, I was completely unaware of the Daily Star’s manufactroversy and the RBL’s IP-related histrionics.
As someone once said about director’s cuts with films: they’re a double-dip scam.
If the cinema and home media releases were the same, they’re just trying to make you buy the same thing twice by pretending that this is what the director really wanted it to be. The distributor really likes your credit card.
Having said that, Taylor Swift has something like 28 versions of the same album out and her stans are going crazy for it, treating them like they’re Pokemon.
Whatever floats your boat. 🤷♂️ Don’t let this old dude yuck your yum.
Same with me on the water. I grew up Australia.
Since moving to the UK, I’m still trying to get used to medieval bollocks. Gimme analogies, because Stones used to be 1 Stone of wheat was a different weight to 1 Stone of, say, actual stones. Mental.
TIL this is a thing. I started doing that over 30 years ago with SLS and Slackware when that was the only choice.
This was pre-PnP (also pre-JPEG!), so you had to know all the addresses, IRQs, DMA info, etc, of your hardware or you’d get… unexpected results. make
it and they will come…
After countless distros and flavours over the years, I still use Debian for servers and now use EndeavourOS for desktop/laptops.
“…I’ll give it time to work and will come back and see you.”

To be fair: if anyone’s going to intuitively know the weight of 800 hamburgers, Americans are it. :)
Also, I’m not entirely opposed to using “every day” analogies for stuff like this.
If using Firefox:
I use a bunch of others, but the above are my bare minimum.
Don’t believe anyone who tells you that one extension does everything.
This is, sadly, accurate. Telling someone to use an OS/platform that isn’t connected with a brand they recognise seems to send many people into a tailspin.
I’ll refrain from the obvious “They Live” cynicism…
Great advice. For me, it’s the irreplaceable data first, and then stuff like configs and credentials/keys.
My borg-backup (to my NAS) config is “My Documents” type files, /etc stuff I’m likely to customise, and home stuff except the stuff like “*Cache”, “*Storage”, assets/icons/history/recent/blah. It’s tedious to fine-tune, but I figure too much is infinitely better than too little.
If I want to be able to do an image-based restore, then I’d use a different tool. But life’s too short for that.
Thank you. My laptop is EndeavourOS+KDE6 - which is solid - and I’ve spent today preparing to nuke my gaming desktop PC (Ubuntu and an Nvidia RTX card) to rebuild it with Endeavour tomorrow, and the only doubt I had was Wayland and Nvidia with Lutris/Heroic/Proton gaming.
high cpu usage by just moving the mouse.
This sounds like co-operative multi-tasking on a single CPU. I remember this with Windows 3.1x around 30 years ago, where the faster you moved your mouse, the more impact it would have on anything else you were running. That text scrolling too fast? Wiggle the mouse to slow it down (etc, etc).
I thought we’d permanently moved on with pre-emptive multi-tasking, multi-threading and multiple cores… 🤦🏼♂️
My Endeavour laptop got it today. Couple of tweaks and it was running perfectly.
Funny you mention desktop: I’ve been waiting for Plasma 6 before rebuilding my Ubuntu desktop with Endeavour. Didn’t want to jump the gun, find out that it impacts gaming performance, and then have to rebuild back again. :) Guess I have a desktop to rebuild now…
TIL that version appears to be on the AUR: MicroEMACS/PK 4.0.15 customized by Linus Torvalds.
Last updated in 2014, it probably has serious cobwebs now. Even the upstream hasn’t been touched in 6 years.
