I use mine for a VPS running Ubuntu. It let's me mess around with stuff and also let's me host things like discord bots without needing a local pc always running.

My VPS is pretty cheap, something like 10 bucks a month so it's worth it for me.

Hmm I used to be proud of being Canadian. These days it's getting harder and harder.

You say your not good at finding the right words, but these seem pretty good to me ❤️

Whew, I heard from a friend it was going that way. The Devs say in the article that they just meant it would recieve occasional content updates like they did with with the first game in their early access model.

They confirmed that it will not have any subscriptions, or battle passes or anything which is great. They also mention that while coop will be possible, it won't be required to play the game, and you can still experience everything single player.

Glad to hear they haven't joined the dark side yet!

But, we did straighten the leaning tower. It was leaning too far and in threat of collapsing so we spent a huge amount of resources straightening it just enough it wouldn't fall.

I thought Stardew Valley was a one man show, but this isn't by ConcernedApe, did he end up hiring staff?

That was quite the read but pretty worth it. He talks about a lot of the mistakes he made not just in relation to his crime, but as a developer, project leader, and general human being.

He discusses what things he would have done differently, and how he thinks that could have changed things not only for him but his software as well.

He mentions multiple times how much he wishes that the conflict handling and social classes he has access to in prison, were available to him in school. He ends the letter with a call to action, for just that asking people to try and affect legislation to get more youth access to this information to avoid cases such as his.

That works for urban areas, but so much of Canada is rural. If I biked to work I'd need to leave like 3 hours before work started. And that doesn't even address winter travel, good luck using your bike with a couple feet of snow.

So while foot/bike paths are important, we can't just stop all car use. And EVs are much better if a vehicle is required, especially if powered by renewables.

I'm I the only one that finds my office atmosphere overall nice and friendly? There's no one at work I don't get along with, and I definitely don't have 'enemies'. Sure there are a couple people that cause me a bit of extra work every once in a while, but I'm sure I've caused the same at some point.

Office work doesn't have to suck

Poor fella, that jacket is probably messing with their range of motion :(

That's pretty cool, the potatoes glow green when exposed to radiation so it can be detected at a distance. I was wondering how it actually detected the radiation, but I wasn't expecting them to glow, that's wild.

I can relate with this so much. My friends joke that my hobby are collecting hobbies for that reason. I get excited about learning something new, practice enough to get passable good at it, realize how much more there is to learn to hit fully proficient, try to work towards it, and end up burning out.

I thinking coding has stuck for me because you don't really just learn programming when you program. You are typically making a tool for another skill or profession which means you end up learning alot about that different skill while building out a project. That I, for me, helps stop the burn out, because each new project comings with learning outside of coding directly.

I like to think about programmers as the modern jack of all trades, but of course I'm biased.
