Gnome with the Forge extension for window tiling

I like it too… There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Could they at least send the fun ones like Godzilla and aliens?

It’s used by a lot of social groups where I am and it’s hard to avoid if you want to join any kind of community. Other stuff could easily replace it but the inertia is strong.

I picked up a Sony OLED with Google TV a few months ago and it’s been really good so far. The OS itself works really nicely even when offline and since it’s android you can switch out the launcher to something without ads if you ever do connect it.

When I I was shopping around I was surprised to find that Google seems to have the least invasive of the TV OSs. It’s more a statement of how bad the other ones are than how good theirs is though.

Yeah forge is what I use too and it’s definitely a little clunky. PaperWM was decent last time I tried it too (but still a little clunky)

Had a chance to watch The Fall in a theater recently and it was so good. It’s too bad more people haven’t seen it

• improv
• piano
• rollerblading
• video games

I watched this course on cooking knives years ago and I still use a lot of the skills from it. Definitely recommend it if you’re someone who likes to cook: https://www.craftsy.com/class/complete-knife-skills/

Hulk Hogan. I was such a huge Hulkamaniac as a kid, brother.

I use Fedora myself but for people new to Linux I still usually recommend Ubuntu. I know it’s likely to stick around because of the company backing and if an application is built for Linux it’s pretty much guaranteed to work on Ubuntu. I’m sure Mint is great too but for a beginner I want the distro to be as well supported as possible.

Once they get the hang of open source and develop a healthy hate of Snap I drag them down into my Fedora cave though.

Not sure what the dell computers are doing but with something like Alpaca it’s pretty easy to run local LLMs

Salesforce definitely does it. Coinbase also recently fired a bunch of devs for not using it (https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/22/coinbase-ceo-explains-why-he-fired-engineers-who-didnt-try-ai-immediately/)

A Snuggie blanket. Got it from an ex and thought I’d hate it when I got it since it was pretty popular to hate on them at the time. I’ve had it for over a decade now and it’s so perfect for playing video games or using a computer when it’s cold.

Something like OVOS would be more of an Alexa replacement, right? I used Mycroft for a while before the company went under but this is the community fork.

When does that happen? I’ve played through that game a couple of times but I don’t remember that reveal. It’s cool seeing someone mention it though! I feel like that game doesn’t get enough love but it’s in my top 3 RPGs.

Bioshock’s big twist was so well done. I still think about that one a lot especially in games where there’s no explanation for why you’re doing a mission.

“A man chooses… a slave obeys…”

Half Life : Alyx. Everyone is great but I especially enjoyed Rhys Darby as the guy in your headset. Tony Todd as the Vortigaunts was also really good.

I use the Jetbrains AI Chat with Claude and the AI autocomplete. I mostly use the AI as a rubber duck when I need to work through a problem. I don’t trust the AI to write my code, but I find it very useful for bouncing ideas off of and getting suggestions on things I might have missed. I’ve also found it useful for checking my code quality but it’s important to not just accept everything it tells you.

Not yet, but that’s coming https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59
