Can’t wait for the inevitable video to drop of Gavin, I mean Elon, trying to video chat and then it fails badly.

The worst part is they don’t even need to make an app. Dozens exist already. I’ve been using Fing for years to help troubleshoot at home.

The one thing I’ve learned over the years is that the more experience you have with Linux, the less you rely on preconfigured distributions. Find a stable minimal install and build up your own set of base packages, DE, configs, etc.

Only you know your habits and needs and experience is how you narrow down the field.

For me personally, I have found my groove in a minimal Debian install with a first run setup script or two that is repeatable and automatable so I can start with a known quantity for any applicable need I have.

Boosting so I can revisit this comment in a couple years.

Combine that with the 20-30 seconds my system takes to do bios memory training on the DDR5 ram and we’re practically back to the “go make some coffee while the system boots up” days 🤦

I use Edge on Linux as my user agent in Firefox on Windows just so I can give some engineers a laugh.

Who quite frankly, despite his persistence, was a lil’ bitch.

The difference is that the same house in 1990 at 12% still only cost $150k. Today at 7% it costs $1.2m

I really wonder what it is about TotK that makes for such wildly different opinions. Everything about TotK was a vast improvement over BotW for me. Up to and especially including revisiting the same locations to see how they’ve changed and exploring all 3 levels of the map to their fullest extent. I stopped playing BotW the moment I beat it after ~90 hours of play time. But I’ve continued to return to TotK nearly 300 hours in now, after beating it in about the same 90 hours originally. It’s just endlessly interesting wandering and getting sidetracked and finding / figuring out side quests.

I have a couple friends who beat it for the sake of beating the next Zelda game but the majority of my small circle continues to play, some even putting off beating it just to explore more. It’s very interesting seeing such different approaches, hearing what people focused on and how they tackled the openness. I’m not sure I witnessed the same phenomenon with games like Skyrim. Something about this one feels different at least. Hard to describe.

That thin line of dust is just a reminder that you need to vacuum after you sweep.

To add to this, I also use Natron to replace After Effects. I use both of these on Linux and Windows too, serves me well as a light-mid user.

It blows my mind Sega haven’t made a Chao focused game, even a mobile Chao Garden / gacha game. Or even included Chao in any Sonic games in forever.
