Yeah, enjoyed quite a few games this year, but nothing got into my head quite like DE. I hope so bad that we could expect some kind of follow-up to that masterpiece.

An interesting alternative to sails are Flettner rotors. They're pretty much just rotating pillars, and are being tested on some cargo ships to reduce fuel consumption.

Remember when Prime meant same-day shipping? Now it just means somewhat better terms than the stingy rabble.

When I was vaping I had to replace the coils every few weeks and cleaned out the mouthpiece, liquid container and stuff in an ultrasound. Also, I mixed flavor liquid with the nicotine liquid and had to watch out for the right mixing ratios. I'd say that's all a bit involved and a bit much for those that just want a hit of nicotine.

First thing coming to mind are the Jews in Ethiopia.

All utilities, phone, electricity, sewage, road and rail.

But actually looking at these, pretty much all protocols and standards are already open.

Thanks so much for this post! Ventoy is really the tool I never knew I really needed. Up to now, I have been reflashing and juggling sticks with various ISOs.

But even better, now I could finally update the BIOS on my Framework 13!

Gaslighting, toxicity, oh come on. I'm supposed to expect my kid to lie to me?

Just giving my kids into the embrace of peer pressure isn't love, it's evading confrontation. Give them a place of trust and understanding, with clear rules they can understand and follow. If my kids are getting their way bending and evading the rules we set, then it's way too late.

We often say yes, but sometimes we have to say no, and our kids are fine with that.

I'm not so sure about that. My kids had other kids in their class playing Fortnite - in second grade!

And if my kid were 10 and all his friends were playing Diablo IV or GTA my answer would be a steadfast no.

IIRC, In this case the teacher tried to get smart ass Gauss shut up for a bit so he could teach the other students. It was only Gauss that had to solve the problem.

Which CPU are you using? I've got the 11th gen i5 and battery life is just miserable, especially in standby.

Been intermittently trying to finish Jedi Fallen Order, but for some reason I gave in to my kids that kept getting on my case that I should try the best game of all time: Stardew Valley.

I was wondering if all Alphabet employees aren't allowed to use ad blockers. Do they really believe that the internet without adblockers is a sane experience?

Back in the 90s when I was in uni, it was the only way to have a unix-like development environment for C/C++. I also spent an inordinate amount of time testing linux on exotic hardware, like 386 laptops or older Macs. There weren't many distros back then, but I tried them all: Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, m86kLinux and even (shudder) Slackware.

It was (and still is) an extremely fun way to tinker around. But I have to say, I'm not complaining that pretty much everything works out of the box nowadays!

Most people want to stick to Windows or MacOS, and that's fine for them if they want to put up with it. Pushing Linux or OSS in general is counter productive IMO and just puts people on the defensive. I'd rather plant a seed here and there. If someone complains about Windows on a kid's laptop, then hey, I got an old laptop for my daughter and put Fedora on it. It was easy to install and maintain, unobstrusive and she can get everything done for school she needs. Or talking about gaming - you know the Steam Deck? You can game without Windows - Linux is a painless, drop-in replacement!

It pains me that a lot of Linux users were pushy elitist neckbeards that spent so much energy defending their distro of choice and Linux in general. The community tends to make Linux appear like some difficult, arcane way of using a computer. "First you must pass the initiation rite and choose the correct distro!" Seriously, fuck that mindset. Just download whatever, install it and enjoy hassle-free computing!

Yeah finally a decent season! The last few years were tough on a McLaren fan but I'm getting my hopes up for next year. Also, Piastri's performance has just been astonishing. I thought Norris was first class but now we have a driver pairing that can push each other and consistently bring points home!

Whoah, was he always that bloated?

I'd just recommend Fedora.

I use Fedora BTW.

Highly doubt it. So many other browsers on so many platforms (mobile, tv, Auto,...) are built on Chrome and will have this by extension.

I've been paying for wallabag for years but am slowly getting frustrated with the lack of updates to the UI. The Android app hasn't been updated in ages, and the web UI is clunky and misses features. You can't even change the font, for example. Omnivore wins there on all counts.

OTOH, Omnivore can't properly handle multi-page articles.

Cleaning up old kernel versions and accidentally deleted them all. I would've thought the distro would prevent my stupidity, but hey, no kernel? You'll manage!
