But that’s more tha- Oh.

The panic my coworkers get in their eyes when they pull me from a task just to show me something that suddenly works for them is always funny.

“This was totally not working for 10 minutes straight.”

I thought about this right after replying. Really, the GC, Wii and Wii U were more exception than rule with Nintendo. They’ve always liked their cartridge formats.

I always wondered why we didn’t transition to flash storage. Would be much easier to scale smaller releases, too.

The more people that use it, the more companies and individuals see that it’s a viable alternative to Windows. It’s not that we are actively affected by others using Windows, we just know how much better it is on the other side with an OS that isn’t trying to be hostile. You already know all the talking points. We just want others to stop complaining daily about how awful computers are and instead see that they don’t have to be.

I learned the Ian Knot and never went back.

The idea that this same person would actually play something with as much soul as Until Dawn is pretty unbelievable. Can you believe they have like, emotions and crap? Plus just so much talking, I mean come on. They don’t even have a BattlePass!

Except that we’ve seen more than a few remasters that mess with original game content or completely jack up color/shader rendering.

A remaster is still different than the original and sometimes there’s elements people want to preserve from the exactly as they remember it.

You should dress up KDE to look like Windows 11 just to prove a point.

I find a big part of trying to be the friend that transitions others to Linux is taking on the role of mentor. It’s something a lot of wish we could just hand to someone and dust off our hands, but that ultimately leads to experiences like yours.

For a better chance of success, especially on first install, be on the line with them as they go through the steps, or in person is better yet.

Answer all the questions you can and help them install all their usual stuff. Most people don’t want to have to go through this change, so making it fun and social goes a long way.

I’m more thinking about government. I gave up on trying to avoid ad tracking forever ago. But if you think a VPN keeps you safe posting “anonymously”, it doesn’t. That’s more what I’m referring to.

The only real advantage you gain is being able to watch things outside your region. Without lots of work, you’re pretty easily traceable on the modern internet.

It is impossible to wake up until you are fully rested, including by alarm, fire, or intruder.

Still Jim Carey’s best role. This movie wrecks me emotionally every time.

The unfortunate truth of modern business is that if you’re not growing, you’re on the path to failure. If we weren’t societally so fixated on profits, I could see lots of companies making “forever” products, but this sadly isn’t the case.

I just did some digging and Grist actually seems to do most of what I need it to. There may be hope yet! It’s still not quite as slick as AppSheet, but may be a step in the right direction.

Honestly, projects like AppSmith and Baserow are pretty good at this. Google AppSheet is by far the best implementation of this style of low-to-no-code app builders, but comes with the obvious caveat of being a Google product.

If someone managed to make an open-source solution as slick as Google’s, I’d be right on it. As it stands, all the competition that I’ve found requires a decent existing knowledge of SQL queries to run the widgets themselves.

There’s probably already a way. It would just take 14 days per CPU cycle to run.

What’s that guy need so much water for anyway?!?!?

God, I hate autocorrect.
