Like the other commenter said - people recommend them for peace of mind so you don’t have to think about knowing a password for the 2653rd account you set up once and are never using again. It’s the next best thing to just remembering complex passwords.

I’ve used Dashlane for years, personally, but I know people here will immediately shut that down for not being FOSS. Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.

Don’t get me wrong, I love self-hosting as much as the rest of us but I’m not trusting my server from 2013 with all my passwords to everything.

You can always get re-usable silicone bags, but they’re not as effective imo because it’s harder to get all the air out for a good vacuum seal.

The microplastics are in everything anyways at this point, I doubt a few steaks cooked like this are hurting anyone 😅

I’m a new Bazzite (nvidia) user, but I use Linux in various flavors for self-hosting already so I’m not a complete newbie.

I’m personally ok with the immutability of the os on my desktop, I’d rather be more free to break things in my homelab environment than lose an OS install on my desktop because I flew too close to the sun.

I 100% understand the appeal though.

The game was ahead of it’s time in terms of combat. It felt janky at times but it plays like a souls-like with how slow and deliberate you need to be once enemies start having proper counters to what you do.

And the time dagger mechanic was always fantastic to me conceptually.

Here’s hoping Ubi doesn’t fuck it up beyond belief.

I was in a similar situation, but as the boyfriend at the time

I’d driven 1.5hr away to see my then girlfriend at college. We went out for groceries and were just pulling into her campus, making a left on a yellow when a cyclist went straight on a yellow. She flipped over the hood of my car and broke her collarbone.

I’d almost come to a complete stop when the actual collision happened but was still on the hook for the fines and license points for failing to yield.

The girl I hit didn’t press charges or anything. And as far as I’m aware she’s doing ok.

Despite the trauma, I kept driving out of necessity, I had to get 80+ miles home somehow and I definitely wasn’t going to Uber from there.

Now we got married, and we both have long commutes for our jobs (in opposite directions unfortunately, we just moved to a more central spot for it) and our jobs require travel between multiple locations throughout the day.

Quitting driving would’ve kept us from job opportunities that allow us to have the lifestyle we live today.

I don’t think you’re overreacting, but imo you shouldn’t let something like that define your adult life. Accidents happen, and this was probably the best-cass scenario in your case.

Linus? That you?

If you haven’t played it, Windblown is a good time. It feels very much like a top-down Dead Cells.

So many furries

I’d know, I’m one of them

It… Literally credits XKCD in the bottom corner

I also did this while trying to turn the volume up with the phone in my pocket years ago

Same - it’s pretty fun on a guitar controller if you have one!

Bleh.

This is awful.

Second ABB

It’s great for most of the stuff I read

If you check out the State of the Sanderson, it should be around 2031 or 32

Not quite 10yr away

But he’s been ambitious with his timelines in the past

No idea, hence my “probably not”

A deal with Microsoft, maybe?

Storage is cheap, windows licensing is expensive, maybe Lenovo is trying to add value for the people who want to stick to Windows

Probably not, though. Hopefully it’s repairable/upgradable.

Brackets in a quote denote a change to what was actually said. In a perfect world, with quality journalism, they’re used to summarize or make the quote flow better in the piece without changing the intent or meaning of the quote

In this case, they very well could’ve changed “won’t be” to “will be”

I don’t expect that to be the case here, but it’s possible.

Also, using an ellipsis inside brackets like this: “[…]” Is an intentional omission by the author of the piece.

Thanks, I hate it

“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”

Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.

I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.
