Heads up: once in a blue moon it’s on “sale” for free on Epic Games.

(Ask me how I know.)

I bought a VR headset solely to play VTOL VR; worth it!

I was confused when I saw that it was discontinued. I bought several in 2015 and still have them.

I’m far more efficient with AI tools as a programmer. I love it! 🤷‍♂️

I was looking for this comment. This is it—not AI.

I time it right so that I can run towards the microwave “in slow motion” and pretend I’m stopping a bomb from going off, 1 second before it blows. My kid loves it. 🤷‍♂️

What games are you playing and what hardware are you running?

Linux has come a long way regarding the ability to easily play games made to run on Windows. It’s never been so easy and well performing. However, in my experience, it’s not quite “just works” yet. Yes, some Windows games will “just work,” but for now that’s still the exception to the rule in my experience.

I use Arch btw, with a i9-9900 and an Nvidia RTX 2070. I still have to tweak settings, research what others are tweaking, I have a few hours of research and tinkering invested into stopping up close jitters in VR(still unresolved), my graphic settings have to be lower than normal for decent performance and I do not enjoy the same frames I’ve enjoyed on Windows with this same machine.

I could probably get some better performance squeezed out of these games, but it’s going to cost me time and tinkering.

tl;dr I don’t think we’re in “just works” territory yet, but we’re getting closer and the progress over the recent years has been amazing. I can’t wait to be rid of Windows forever.

For me, Docker has been amazing. It’s probably my single most favorite tool in my tool belt. It has made my life so much easier over the years. It’s far from hell for me! 🐳

Just came back to Debian on my gaming rig after a 4 year hiatus, I’ve missed it.

XP was “the Linux” of Windows releases… 🤘

The French are known to protest like no other.

Here’s another comment endorsing Signal.

I have never once understood these sock references and jokes. Never seen a programmer wearing thigh high socks. Never associated socks with specific programming languages.

What’s the punch that I’m missing here?

This same type of cable setup can be found in the Philippines as well.

Roughly 1-3 time a month.

I can hear this comment

Okay, so I’m not using an extension in Zed* (but am using vim mode btw)

VS Code at work, Zed at home.

Despite Zed crashing my laptop every once in a while, it's been a refreshing change-up from VS Code.

I use a vim extension in both btw...
