To put it simply, there is a difference between “intelligent” and “smart”.

You see, when a mommy and daddy love each other very much…

Last Wednesday. We regularly go out to a local pub for trivia night and converse face to face there.

8 has always been my favourite. As long as I resist the urge to draw spam. It can get repetively easy if you just draw and cast magic from your enemy, never having to use your own resources.

For most games, it depends on who you’re asking. I, for example, hate multiplayer looter-shooters, so the most overrated game to ME would be Fortnite. It literally hold no attraction for me and the thought of even playing it makes me shudder.

However, the universal answer is really any EA sports title.

It’s literally the same game every…damn…year…

Yep. And boot-lickers of that kind of business ethics will always say “Well that’s capitalism, baby!”

But it’s really not. Capitalism as an economic theory IS those small businesses that are being driven under. It’s human beings making a living from their own labour." Even if that human being is the person in charge and doesn’t set foot on the sales floor (for example), it’s still a human being at the helm.

My goto example for some reason is always furniture, I don’t know why. But someone making bespoke wooden furniture out of his garage because he enjoys it and other people want to purchase it. That’s capitalism.

If that same guy’s product gets so big that he starts a company, get’s a factory, and now has employees making the furniture for him, it’s still capitalism because he built that company with his own sweat and he deserves to reap the benefits of such.

What’s missing from what the bootlckers call capitalism is the human element.

When the human equation is taken away and everything is at the whim of a stock price, it’s not capitalism anymore, it’s called a Corporatocracy. Humans themselves become just another metric on a spreadsheet called “labour”. Something to be accounted for, controlled and minimized for the sake of the share price. Those shares aren’t owned by humans either (for the most part), they’re owned by other corporations and hedge-funds. Humans are so far removed from modern corporatocracy that there’s no room for (or even understanding of) empathy.

History podcasts are my catnip at the moment

Mine as well. Regular history for sure (I was an archaeology major after all), but also history mixed with category one, murders. I love a good historical unsolved mystery.

There’s a youtube channel called Criminal Core that posts about cases that are solved after ‘x’ number of years and it’s always because of DNA.

Sadly it’s AI narrated, which sucks. I’d much prefer a human. But the stories are interesting in an “Unsolved Mysteries” kind of way.

Watching Unsolved Mysteries on PlutoTV, I like that the producers of the show actually add updates to the end when things have been changed or solved. They could just replay the episode as is, but they make the effort to introduce new updates. I appreciate that from them.

To put it simply, cost isn’t the same for everybody.

Economies of Scale

Bitwarden.

Paid. Not because I need the added paid features, but because I value it and want to show my appreciation for the developers.

“Edge-lord can’t get stolen game to work on linux while legit copies work just fine. Blames Linux.”

– Fixed your headline.

nano is usually built in. Adding another one is just redundant if all you’re using it for is editing an occasional config file.

Honestly never understood the hate for it. Who cares? Petty, stupid, nerd-wars over little crap like a text editor is the reason average people don’t even consider linux.

At this point there is nothing that they could do to make Creation Engine feel “new”. I don’t understand why they keep beating that dead horse.

A couple of months ago, I had some extra money, so I bought Starfield because I had an itch to go back into my Crimson Fleet character.

The problem was that a couple of weeks before that, I had also purchased a game that I had wanted for years, but could never justify spending the high price of new games on, Red Dead Redemption 2. In comparison, Starfield just felt so…lazy… in ways both big and small, beyond the common issues like repetitive dungeons, barren worlds, loading screens, etc…

The biggest thing I noticed immediately was the effect of bumping into people as you’re walking. If you compare a Rockstar Game (Or even an assassin’s creed game), where npcs will make a comment, will move out of the way, get upset, etc… Whereas in Bethesda can’t be bothered to do anything except slide you to the right when bumping into a character, who doesn’t react or flinch in any way.

I started noticing those little things fucking everywhere. And I have to believe that little limitations like that are because it’s running on an engine that is older than dirt.

It legitimately took me a second for my brain to un-break itself when I looked at the photo. First thinking…something’s not right here…and not for even a moment thinking it would be something as stupid as putting the heat-sink on the case fan… Then the realisation that yes…it really is something that stupid.

I don’t know if things have changed, since I haven’t used windows since Windows 7 and I’ve only sporadically touched macs, but the other day I dragged my clock from one side of my desktop to the other on Manjaro and a staff member looking over my shoulder freaked out like I was a warlock.

I get that government use needs to be stringently tested for security, and so things take a little longer. But really, there are PLENTY of good FOSS products in existence that can be used as a base framework and a head-start to things like this.

You don’t have to re-invent the wheel when you could easily fork Jitsi-meet and harden it/secure it to your needs in the government.

Jitsi is one of my top 5 FOSS projects that are basically already mature enough to be used in a professional setting
