This snake has eggcellent taste.

I used to be a GNOME fanatic a couple of years ago. I switched to KDE after I got tired of the perpetually broken state of extensions.

I’m still thankful for all the effort and commitment the GNOME devs have invested over the years though! It’s an excellent desktop environment!

Wait. This is not the onion?

People are weird. Just use Linux! /s

And he never said thank you! Not even once!

Oof. Right in the nostalgia.

I’ve seen job postings on Upwork that mention “vibe coding” as a skill requirement.

They want vibe coders who can do the work of a team for a fraction of the price. And if the code is buggy they can always dispute.

So it becomes your responsibility to provide a team’s worth of proofed code.

Interesting to meet another person that went through the “GW-BASIC to Rust” journey. Mine was through FreeBasic and C++ in the middle but we ended up in the same neighbourhood.

Tbh I’m against the full on map idea since it would ruin and demystify/trivialise the aspect of exploration, but maybe they could have made it so that the scanner room HUD chip UI was actually useful and displayed any kind of distance indicator. Often times I’d be scanning for limestone chunks for example. Now my HUD is full of circles that all have the exact same radius and no indication of distance, just a vague direction, and it’s so frustrating to work with that.

They could have added some sort of compass as well. They chose not to.

I wish they implemented something like No Man’s Sky’s non-intrusive HUD, which conveys both heading and distance at the same time in a super nice way.

You’re not alone. As much as I love that game, the absolute lack of direction is one of my biggest gripes with it, right along with the atrocious inventory system.

You’d think someone who manages to build a fricking atomic submarine and a mech suit would be able to pinpoint relevant tech on the go somehow but no. Also you get a scanning room that can pinpoint little pebbles a kilometre away but is it helpful? Nope. Just another half-baked gameplay element that was never developed beyond the initial concept.

So yeah, your concerns are absolutely valid. Anyone who played this game would agree. But maybe that’s why I personally love the game. Clunky and beautiful, frustrating but once you find that thing you’ve been looking for, a bit rewarding too.

That’s very informative. Thank you.

Lakh views? 🤔

I use them often even when I’m not writing anything important, just a habit from writing I guess.

Fuck. I just realised I used them in my résumé that I sent out yesterday. Shit shit shit

Well, now we have a couple million Shi’ite Muslims—some, but not all of which are extremists—believing that they’ll instantly go to heaven if they off him on the planet… which skews the odds a little.

Just how long have you been waiting to use this one?
