I’m with you. 8.1 was underrated. Yes the start screen wasn’t for everyone, but I didn’t mind it. It was the last native Windows start menu that would just find the apps you wanted to run. No Cortana, no web searches, no ads.

I see Kusanagi, I upvote. It’s a rule.
Yeah, they can be useful, but not in the way that the snake oil salesmen would like you to believe. Code completion suggestions are kind of a wash: often close but needing corrections, to the point where it’s easier to just write it myself. Vibe coding really only works for basic, already-solved problems. Many kinds of code changes take such a level of precision or so many back-and-fourths with the AI that it’s more efficient to describe the logic in a programming language than in English. But AI can help with large repetitive tasks, though. Use it like a refactoring tool, but for refactorings not offered by your normal tooling. It’ll get you close, then you put the final touches on yourself.
Sekiro and Bloodborne for me too. DS1 in third
The man-hour myth will never die in the management class
There are definitely parts of programming that are boring and repetitive. I’ve been using AI to speed that up. I still do the creative parts 100% myself.
PRs still need to be reasonable size for human review, regardless of how they were authored. IMO
Linux Mint Cinnamon is very low friction to install and use for first timers from Windows
Linda Hamilton circa Beauty and the Beast
Michelle Pfeiffer circa Ladyhawke
I never thought to check if there was French available! Nice callout. The English VA is really good though.
It is 100% suggestive.
I see it’s a popular tactic to accuse the whistleblowers as being the ones with the real problem, which is a bullshit attempt to suppress discourse on the topic. I have another idea: that maybe those who claim that this picture isn’t sexual have been overexposed to much harder child sexual content, and as a result this picture doesn’t register on their radar. Speaking as someone who has not been exposed to any child sexual material, this is immediately, obviously meant to titillate.
