Worth it.

I don't think you can do that without being called a weeb (at least on the western part of the internet).

I assume its this one by Ramez Naam? Looks cool.

Cool! Thanks for the tip, choomba!

Why is it always those 3? Is there no other cyberpunk books people read? They are very heavy reads. Heres a few "mediocre" cyberpunk books I found entertaining, everyone takes place on earth:

• "A cyberpunk saga" by Matthew Goodwin, if you prefer teamwork and strong friendship. And a VERY stereotypical cyberpunk world.
• "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez, a techno triller, if you enjoy overly "smart" villains who think multiple moves ahead.
• "Immortality Upload" by Patrick Fell, if you like MMOs and VR.
• "Neo Cyberpunk", a genre anthology book. Multiple short stories. I found Matthew Goodwins books because I enjoyed his short story.

If it was because it kept opening random websites from your history, I helped diagnose that bug not long ago. And the dev got it fixed!

I'm happy with the plugin, and it has completely replaced my Edge PWAs. Even better, unlike Edge/Chrome, I'm allowed to rename the shortcut name or modify the url before creating the shortcut. And to open PWA links as tabs. Only drawback I've found so far is that the PWA runs on its own Firefox profile. Not a big issue with Firefox sync.

Im just happy some peoples dirty butts hasn't made direct contact with the seat im sitting in. Thats a good reason we have to wear clothes imho. Cleanliness and respect for sharing the world with others makes it okay to have rules about attire in public spaces.

But the whole showing skin being so goddamn taboo for real people, while at the same time near nudity and sexuality on publicly visible advertising boards is completely ok, thats a double standard I can't understand.

And the modern fear of showing non-sexual nudity to kids. Its very noticeable how bad an effect it have had on our society by now: Kids are hesitant to change and shower after gym. People don't undress and do a proper shower before entering public swimming pools.

Must have been even more infuriating back when people could no longer do their hobbies because fast-moving, noisy, deadly pieces of metal got priority everywhere, owned by almost everyone, and roads and parkings carving up cities.

Why did we ever allow it to go this far? We should have made laws forbidding most cars inside cities. We could have focused more on public transport and kept streets walkable.

How long until some nerd points out that it used to be opposite.. Oh, I just did, didn't I. Im that nerd. Darn.

You can't get the lava to empty? It only empties in turn-based for some reason, so just switch to turn-based and do nothing for 2-3 rounds.

Only a bit of change to the rules and you got golf with a proper challenge. "Caddie, bring me chainsaw #3."

Less annoying and more entertaining than the crowd of people around them.

Doesnt really clean up after much more than default windows apps and IE, unfortunately. (Theres an API for registering apps but I've never seen an app use it.) Doesnt clean up NVIDIA install files, doesnt clean up %localappdata%\Temp, or the Office install files at C:\temp. Not MS Edge cache, chromium cache, discord cache, adobe cache, nor system logs. The currently best, which I dont think is as good yet as CCleaner once was, is BleachBit. But its more trustworthy than CCleaner and it is open source.

My biggest complaints about it is awful performance, and that it silently deletes the savegames if I uninstall the game, no cloud save even!

I spent so damn long in the editor creating this kickass Eddie Riggs wannabe and now he's gone because I wanted to wait a bit for a performance patch. 😭 So I haven't had the motivation to return to the game since I found out.

Running Win95 on a cell phone.

Damn thats wild! I remember I wished I could run Windows on a phone back in 00-ish instead of those crappy, brand-specific phone OS's. What else was I gonna use a phone for, its not like I had anyone to call. Now I can.

Every mon/wed/fri I open tabs of some webcomics I follow:

• https://www.egscomics.com/
• http://freefall.purrsia.com/
• https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/

I've followed a lot of other comics, but these have been updated VERY damn reliably for a long time.

I did calculate it once on an older samsung drive. If you write multiple terabytes every day, you will cross samsungs estimated lifetime in 3 years.

I have no idea how much data a swap partition move per day but it can't be near that much?

I'd prefer me getting permanently locked out over someone who isnt me getting allowed in. Even more so to services which have my credit card number.

But unlikely anyway, as long as I save my pass and 2fa to a password manager, and keep the backup codes backed up.

We are a bunch of self-important monkeys on a rock traveling through space without any other objective other than "stay alive for a few decades and enjoy it", and you worry about our reading comprehension? You should be impressed that humanity even got past the poo throwing phase! We're weren't evolved to sit still and consume a constant information stream.

Well thats kinda cheating, most of the music is just old rock and metal! 😊 Though I do have that Swordhenge guitar bit in my playlist. Unforgettable.
