Exactly. Modern Windows is like Tesla - shiny exterior built on top of garbage cobbled together with paperclips and duct tape. No visible knobs, no easy to access features, everything hidden behind layers of needless menus and abstraction with the express goal to extract maximum value from their ‘customers’.

I’m not an Apple fanboy by any means but I feel like the two ecosystems are much closer now than they were 10-15 years ago.

Seconding this. Came from using foobar on windows and strawberry has hit all the right notes. Great piece of software.

The Alters just released, is AA, weird, and very good! Indies are definitely the home for weird experimental shit but I feel like there are going to be more strange, niche games being made for larger budgets as the AAA space splinters and devours itself.

This was going to be my counterexample too. Millions protested in the US, UK, Australia, and elsewhere before any troops were committed and it still didn’t help. I dont have solid numbers but I’d be shocked if less than 3.5% of people were involved. They were the biggest protests ever at the time.

I tried to watch it again recently and it looks like absolute trash. I appreciate directors being experimental but at least with old analog formats they scale pretty well with modern resolutions.

He’s sucking, not blowing.

Don’t watch it because it won an Oscar, watch it because it is a beautiful, sweet movie about animals helping each other.

I have multiple notes apps but one thing that’s prevented me from ditching keep is that I have dozens of old notes which I’d like to transfer to the replacement app.

I’m pretty tech savvy but have had a look and couldn’t find an easy way to export my notes from keep. Anyone have any advice?

This is the kind of gaslighting I come to Lemmy for!

The last 2 minutes of this talk are pure gold. Thanks for sharing!

Fair enough. I’ve tried using twitch on my Fedora laptop with FF and I get blocked out by their browser message so I assumed that they were restricting access to chromium only.

Isn’t that just because Twitch doesn’t allow you to browse it using Firefox though?

There has yet to be a game in the intervening 25 years that has scratched the same itch as freelancer for me. Perfect blend of story and sandbox.

Absolutely! Black Earth gets semi-regular rotation around these parts too.

Mainly black and old school death metal. Also some ambient and contemporary classical.

I was hoping for the Swiitch

Hell yeah DQM! I imagine an alternate universe where that game took off instead of pokemon. So much fun and I still play it (and the sequels) regularly.

We’ve been using tsp at my work for years and it works well. It is just a very basic queueing system so if you can run the job from the command line then you can run it via tsp.

Our workflow is to have concurrent jobs run on the remote servers with cron and tsp but you should be able to trigger remote jobs over SSH also if you prefer to have a single machine in charge of task allocation.

I’m in Italy on holiday at the moment and was speaking to some women who were amazed by the fact I could choose when to take my ~4 weeks off per year. They all pretty much have to take their leave during summer and Xmas regardless of field (obviously there are exceptions) so I guess the grass can always be greener!
