If a selling point was drastically redesigned UX I might give it a go. I hate how much the menus force you to wait in the game. Going to islands is a pain. That dumbass bird’s dialogue takes FOREVER. Letting multiple people join your island at once would be nice too. The method to buy items and clothes is so slow. Let me buy that shit more quickly. Let me craft shit more quickly. Little things like that are the worst.

Also, having more things to do in multiplayer would be good. Like some mini games or something. You can sort of make your own but it’s so minor. Running around pitfalls can only be so fun.

Another killer feature would be letting us make outdoor buildings, but I doubt they’d do something that involved.

So fucking annoying of articles to be like “this was published on Tuesday by the federal register and is open for comments” only to not provide a link.

Omniscient perspective is easy if you’re making a 2d game.

Yep. Either they’re ignoring the law and face no consequences or case law settles that scraping copyrighted content for LLM models is fine, in which case again, it doesn’t matter.

I think so. I read it a few months back, but I don’t use any apt based systems to check on.

I think you can do apt upgrade --update now.

Yeah I am very annoyed there aren’t many (or any?) very compact adapters.

The problem is that getting a new standard is gonna just mean more of the same shit with like a good ten years of swapping because USB is so widely used. USB ain’t perfect, I dislike a lot of things about it, but starting from scratch isn’t gonna improve things.

If it was the sort of magical scenario where everyone swapped overnight, hell yeah.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of.

Like the old USB micros sort of?

You should take your own advice.

Sadly the prevailing opinion seems to be that the most strict option (all rights reserved) doesn’t protect you from LLMs.

You end with

The “fistful of different cables to keep track of” is only getting worse as we head into the USB4 era and it needs to be kicked in the head and replaced entirely.

But started with

need an entirely unrelated team to invent something entirely new to replace it

You want more cables?

HDMI does not have screws.

we had sex one more time

It’s very annoying to have managers say their hands are tied when they very well could go to bat for you with their superiors. I was lucky to have one manager really push for me in the past like that. It’s rare.

Further, if you get code into the kernel, anyone who breaks it needs to fix it. So it seems to me it’s only a problem if you’re trying to do something like maintain a proprietary driver without putting it into the kernel? Or something to that effect?

FREE ME FROM YOUR GRASP, CURSED FLOWER!

The worse things get in my life the more I feel like this. I believe it’s a consequence of being raised Christian. (Though I am an atheist now.) When I was younger I believed God never gives you more than you can handle. So when things got bad it felt like God was breaking that promise. Now that I’m older it feels like “bad writing.” Like, really? This many bad things in such a short time period? It’s a little on the nose, isn’t it? It’s why I can’t rewatch I saw the TV Glow until I know I am in a very stable mental place.

The irony being that I have been going through a bit of a gender journey for a while and knew the movie had themes to do with that, but none of that really hot anywhere close to home as the rest mentioned above. I’m just glad I planned to see it surrounded by friends.

The idea that there’s an escape hatch on reality is so alluring. The idea that all the bad things in your life are the fault of one person, even if they’re a metaphysical entity, is so appealing. The sad reality is that it’s all random and sometimes we just get unlucky streaks.

Yeah, no shit, thank you for repeating what I said. The point being I never cared about the money and didn’t even understand it was only about the money. I only wanted recognition.
