That’s an interesting perspective. Please enjoy having our stupid bullshit slightly further away from your face for a while! My only option is sticking my head in this hole in the ground.

Musky needs to hook up with NextGenHacker101 and get on that tracer-t tip!

One of my strongest gaming memories growing up was beating Silver Star Story sitting in a cramped hotel room in the middle of a Minnesota blizzard. My parents let me lug along my PSX on this road trip and I beat the last boss on last possible hit. Like everyone dead but the main character, if I didn’t win this round then the boss would wipe me next time around. I had a full on throw the controller in the air, run circles around the 6’ of open floor space in the hotel room, kind of celebration. My parents… didn’t get it, but that’s okay 😆

I never did get around to finishing Eternal Blue. Maybe this will be my excuse to pick it up again.

Woah screen is seeing active development again? There was like a decade where it stagnated. So much so that different distros were packaging different custom feature patches (IIRC only Ubuntu had a vertical split patch by default?) Looking at it now, the new screen maintainers had to skip a version to not conflict with forks that had become popular.

When tmux stabilized I jumped ship immediately and never looked back.

Great call! pv is deceptively powerful. Being able to see progress and rate limit a pipe is incredibly useful.

I use an organized git repo full of curl shell scripts 🤷

For terminal/editor I went through CodingFont and ended up on Noto Sans Mono. Before that I used Source Code Pro for years. Both patched for nerd fonts, obviously.

Looks nice! I’d be wary of parsing output from a user-facing tool like systemctl though. You’d probably be better served interacting with systemd over D-Bus with something like pystemd?

The Verge loved shitting on streaming services pushing paid subscriptions that still have ads. I wonder how critical they’ll be of that now…

It’s all layers of management from the C-suite down. There’s plenty of bad middle management who can’t quantify their subordinates’ output beyond “well, they all appear to be at their desks and working as I pass by on my way to the next pointless meeting.”

Good for them. RTO is almost universally bullshit.

Ubisoft reportedly said the return to office mandate was for “team creativity” and “better communication”, but the unions argue that “management has consistently failed to present any actual tangible benefits to back this measure.”

Because they have none to present. Multiple levels of bad management trying to justify their existence.

I could tell because every internal connection isn’t hot glued in place.

Maybe something like Logdy? It does have specific documentation around journalctl

Not worth it imo. You’ll end up installing everything you use regularly from 3rd party repos (or building yourself) to get up to date features. Just use Fedora.

The recently released Gran Turismo 4 Spec II is pretty fantastic as well!

Yep good call. I’m usually on my phone where tapping the link and swiping to go back is the natural behavior. I can scroll up and close the browser instead but habits are hard to break.

When did PC Gamer start hijacking the back button to show more ads? Infuriating.

We are all Estebiu alts.

You’re probably thinking of Simone Giertz and her “shitty robots”
