I like the M Plus Code Font personally.

I just meant the way that they've only rolled it out for a handful of ships since it was introduced (in 2021 I believe?) and that they seem to stagger it in waves for some reason. I'm not sure why it seems to be such an undertaking, but presumably they have their reasons.

But yeah I agree, I think maybe some combination of a base list of banned words, some kind of LLM/automation and in-game reporting, combined with human review to pick up on context is probably about as good as you can do. I think it's a system that kind of has to evolve and improve as you go as well, so probably the sooner they start the process the less trouble it'll be later on.

I've always found the way they're approaching ship naming to be really weird, they seem to have been dithering about with it for years. Why don't they just set up a banned words list and let it loose? Sure it won't be 100% perfect but then they can learn as they go. They seem to be making it much more complicated than it needs to be TBH.

Yeah having stuff that can give you an advantage against other players locked behind a paywall is some bullshit, but at least it's only temporary I guess. Still a shit move though.

Still, when they're widely available I look forward to jamming a speed blade into my M50 lol.

I have the attachment and ammo loaded and it's never worked for me. My current setup is to just keep the med gun & ammo on my ship in the pistol storage, use med pens for quick healing in the field and use the med gun when I get back for more serious things.

Last night I was swearing at the game so hard, I was doing a loot run and trying to get away while NPCs were shooting at me and I'm just trying to get the hatch on the back of my ship to open lol.

Got away with it this time though!

Definitely lots of stuff I'm looking forward to with this update, especially the mining fixes (e.g. being able to output refined ores directly into your station inventory instead of just ships) and the fixes to looting buttons.

One time I was out walking and as I turned a corner a pug was running at me full speed, which is a sight to behold - every part of their face and body seems to be moving in a different direction at once. I was still doubled over laughing when the owner walked past me and she gave me a dirty look lol.

Yeah people talk about them replacing employees, but if you had an employee that wrote reports using random made-up facts if they didn't know something, presented them as completely true and insisted they were true even when found out and presented with direct evidence to the contrary, and occasionally would wildly hallucinate and spout gibberish for seemingly no reason at all, I don't think they'd last that long.

Yeah anything I put in /home has always stayed there, and things like customizations to KDE and whatnot always persist. I'm sure it changes a bunch of system files being an immutable OS, but I really don't think it'd be anything a layperson coming fresh from Windows would ever really notice.

Out of curiosity I looked it up and I guess when it was built, the Statue of Liberty cost ~$250,000, which is only about $7.8 million in today's money. And it costs about $6 million a year to maintain.

I have a long-running conspiracy theory that Google deliberately makes the UI's of their various services (Android, Google Docs, Youtube etc.) baffling and they hide important features away so that you have to use Google to search how to do things.

 

This is swiped from reddit but I thought it was really helpful so please don't judge me too harshly lol.

So it turns out that some Linux distros don't enable this by default for whatever reason but if you have an Intel wifi card that uses the iwlwifi driver (you can check this with lspci -k and look for a section that says Network controller: Intel Corporation and Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi under it), you can add a simple line to a config file that might make a huge difference to your wifi speeds.

Just edit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf (if it doesn't exist just create it) and add the line: options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 then reboot. I ran Speedtest before and after trying this on my laptop and it seems to have increased it by about 20% or so.

Your mileage may vary of course, but hopefully this helps someone!

 

Altered the title to avoid spoilers - hopefully that's okay! But for those who don't want to click - Miriam Margolyes is voicing Beep The Meep.
