I took one of the free CS50 classes (among others) on EdX years and years ago, and honestly it helped get me into the business and into the job I have now.
It’s fun to joke I took a MIT class for free. But it honestly helped me learn some logic and enough stuff to get me going.
Yeah, I now have six hours in the game between last night and today. I actually finally just stopped after a few hour stretch.
I’m having fun! But I also have seen some bugs. I can get behind waiting if some smaller bugs are annoying, but I’m enjoying the game quite a bit.
I’m pretty happy that it runs alright on my Mac Mini M4. Starts up quick and gets going. It defaults to High settings but I turned the shadows down a bit just to keep things a little smoother.
Yeah, as if nothing bad could happen there, right? A giant spreadsheet of personal data is a terrible thing to give to the traitors even if they can’t edit it right now.
Yeah, this one guy has been trying to jumpstart so many projects. And that's admirable, but it's also too much for one dude (and I know he's tried to get some other people, but there has been drama around that - by him, I think).
But more to your point - something feels a little off even though I can't confirm anything. It does feel like this guy might just take some money and run if given the chance.
And I don't necessarily blame him for that - I probably would too. I don't want to work, and if I had money I wouldn't.
But there's just this feeling I can't shake about all of it. And I have a Pixelfed and a Loops account. They are both fine, so we'll see, I guess. But I wouldn't be surprised if I end back up with Mastodon being my sole social place for sharing photos, for example.
Realtalk: The $7 "decades" menu item or the $7 Luxe Cravings Box is one of the best deals in fast food right now.
These usually have a taco, a "fancier" taco (like a double decker), and a burrito, AND chips and queso AND a drink. If you want a large drink it's $.20 more. So for about $8 you can get a lot of food.
Compared to McDonald's that somehow charges like $11+ for a Double Quarter Pounder meal now, it's a great deal.
I may be lucky in that the Taco Bell near me has line cooks that actually know what they are doing. I know that's not a luxury everyone has. But I'll never turn down some Taco Bell.
Perhaps some work on a sidebar for navigation for tablets or desktop?
I know Apollo never had that, but when I’m on my iPad I tend to use Arctic simply because it uses the real estate better. But I use Voyager on my phone.
Time for Tim to go.
