I don't get that at all. To me it feels like there's so much progress happening right now.

COVID really did destroy the flow of time for me.

Depends on which stream you choose. Latest and stable-daily have it now. Stable will have it tomorrow.

Because of Proton and also how shit can just break on Linux (see the current glibc fiasco), it might be better to have just a Windows version.

I when I play a game, I don't even notice if it's Linux native unless the game specifically tells me it's a Linux build.

Didn't be so hard on yourself. You can also pester us about the status of Jira tickets.

To me, going and picking up food IS the lazy option. I refuse to be lazier than that. I mean, that's not true. If delivery was free, I'd use it.

If you want Steam OS on a desktop, install Bazzite. It's the closest your going to get and it's great.

Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, you chose to be confidently incorrect about this?

It's a contracting agency. Not individual contractors. Unfortunately we have lots of rubber stampers on our team who approve code while you're not looking. And let me be clear, we have on shore who contribute awful code, too.

It's all a mess.

They would wheel out a goddamn trebuchet to eject him about it.

A hard line angled up at about 45 degrees.

Our off shore contractors produce some of the worst code. But it's impossible to get work done and also be vigilant enough to reject their bad pull requests. So basically you'll end up looking a code one day that is godawful and think, "this is off shore". And yep, git blame tells you you're right.

So, slightly tangential, but I have a failed home automation project this past week.

I have been using an unofficial integration for my mini-splits for a few years. The guy who wrote it likes to disappear for 6 months at a time and it seems like it may be abandoned. It finally stopped working after a home assistant update.

I had bought some ESP based replacement dongles about a year ago and decided to finally use them. Well, not all of the features worked, so I set about writing my own firmware.

That ended up working even less well. I wasted a lot of time and effort trying to get my firmware to work before giving up and just moving to the fork of the original Home Assistant integration for the official dongles.

I hate being beholden to third party stuff like this because I have robust automation setup for my mini-splits and updates can completely break them and be a massive pain to fix.

I'm not sad I tried and failed so much as I'm just sad it didn't work. I may try again sometime in the future.

Think about all of the times where you've been scared instantly but things turned out alright. It would be exactly the same, except there's nothing after it.

Just play NMS. Get it on sale if the price is a concern. It's neat.

I'm sorry, is this some joke I'm too atomic to understand?

The fucking Okta verify app and its "cannot find trusted route to whatever" error popup that covers the approve button that cannot be dismissed except for just waiting for it to go away. Love that.

Oh! I finally got tired of swiping away the "setup express login" or whatever they call it and set it up. It's not any fucking faster! In fact, it's slower! It's the same process, but now I have to also use my fingerprint at the end. And there's enough of a lag that I often forget I have to do that so I'm starting at the login screen waiting for the approval to go through.

And, I have to use the thing twice to get on GitHub or the corporate VPN. It is so fucking tedious and stupid.

Same gameplay with modern graphics, QOL, and new UI.

Aphantasia. I have it, too.
