Was about to say the same. Unthinkable, I never even thought of subscribing in the first place!

NICE

Seeing this kind of news hurts. I’ve had a lifelong interest in computers and technology. I’ve made a career of it and live fairly comfortably because of it. But this makes me certain the positives don’t outweigh the negatives. And I wish we could go back to the 90s/2k when we’re certain this tech would lead to the betterment of the world. Sort of bearing my heart here but technology sucks now.

You’re a God Greg.

lol. Nice April Fools post. I think the cruelest tech related Aprils fools post I’ve seen claimed that Apple was open sourcing their x86 MacOS versions. Creating a Mac binary compatible BSD distro. That really hurt. I love OSx/2010s MacOS. Nothing on Linux or BSD side comes close. I am really holding out hope for RayvnOS.

That is a fair assessment, I thankfully never picked up a smoking habit. If vaping got some folks to quit smoking then it did serve as an efficient off ramp. I’ve watched close relatives wither from lung cancer, wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Hope you’re in good health and spirits.

It kills me that this was initially shoved out there as a safe alternative to smoking. No actual research, just trust us bro. And of course all this starts coming out and some people are still of the opinion that its safe due to the initial marketing push. Money at all costs, fuck capitalism.

EDIT: Fixed a grammar error

Rather than just run some fucking cable like we already have for the grid. It’s determined that we should put a bunch of future space junk into our atmosphere. Even more frustrating is that we can’t recover anything from them, all the resources being wasted on something we can’t even recycle.

Well if Bethesda is saying it’s good surely it must be. A company with their recent track record surely knows what a good product is.

I used 98 as a teen, it came pre installed, what was wrong with it compared to 95? Asking out of curiosity.

What states aren’t trying to pull this bullshit? There have to be at least a few.

Stupid thought but what if we’ve been teaching an llm to identify objects the entire time.

Picked up kickboxing and lost 30lbs

I quit listening after the meltdown that caused Noah to leave Linux Action Show. That was an amazing podcast while it was running.

Grimbeard, puts out well researched and highly entertaining game retrospectives.

BobbyFingers creates dioramas of famous events with insane tangents while documenting their creation. One video even has a choreographed song.

Lawerence systems covers a lot of self hosted tech with articulate and concise instructions. Really like his method of teaching.

GreenX has some amazing retrospective videos about games, they’re a bit newer of a channel. Every upload has been fantastic though. Insanely funny, highly recommend watching their STALKER video.

Facefullofeyes, same as above but has a very inconsistent upload schedule. Much less humor than greenx but very insightful analysis. Highly recommend the SWAT 4 video.

Break stuff and figure things out, take chances and have fun. You’ve got time. You’ll figure it out.

I truly miss the days of Logan Decker and Gary Whitta at the helm of PCG.

Surprise not to see Maine in that group. Maine has been pretty vocal in its dissent of the clown show at the federal level.

It’ll be awhile. They’ve been in a development state since the launch of the original pinephone in 2020. And even the pinephone is going to be unavailable in two years as pine64 is ceasing sales on it. Not trying to crap on devs. I bought two pinephones (Braveheart & Mobian bundle). Tested multiple distros and excitedly followed their progress for years. I never had a reliable working phone in that four year span. IMO SailfishOS and Post Market OS are the two most usable mobile distros. SailfishOS now requires an ongoing subscription to use which I don’t like.

I never even considered that this was being done. Thankfully I rarely use those services.
