Thankfully most games I’ve played have an option to scale UI text, which has addressed this for me. Hopefully more games add an option for this. You can also press the STEAM + LB buttons to open a magnifier for reading small text.

>if you cannot understand why this is being done, you are part of the problem. Seems like a quick and condescending way to shut down any critical thinking or debate. “Agree with me, or suffer the same fate”.

It's interesting to see both the advances in humanoid robotics and language models like ChatGPT. The obvious next step will be to combine these two to achieve a truly human-like android, just like in old school science fiction. Of cour

You could use something like https://privacy.com/ . In fact, I’ve been using a Privacy credit card (connected directly to my bank account) for GitHub sponsors since I signed up.

The IRE games are very well done. I too have spent many, many hours in Achaea, and more recently (a year or two ago) in Starmourn. You can get by without paying for credits, though it does involve more in-game grinding. For me, what made me

Last I checked (which was not that long ago), Lima was stuck using 9p because QEMU for Darwin didn’t yet support virtiofs. Has this changed? Or maybe I’m just misremembering the details… EDIT: Looks like this was indeed just added in the la

I was very excited about this until I read the comments here. I didn’t notice the NFT/blockchain stuff when I read through the README, but I agree with other commenters here that that is very off-putting. I really don’t want anything t

I’m currently reading the biography of Alan Turing by Andrew Hodges and just so happen to currently be in the chapters discussing the history and operation of the Bombes. Funny to see this pop up now!

I like Nord and I've been using it for a while, but I agree with the other comments about the low contrast which I also don't particularly like. But the thing is, I hate configuring color schemes, I find it tremendously tedious,

Can you explain what you mean by “visually noisy”? If you’re referring to the diagnostics messages (virtual text and signs and such), that is easily configurable to disable (I would know, I wrote it)

Unfortunately yes. Some organizations (like mine) use Office365 and disable IMAP/SMTP, so the only way to interface to the mail server is via Exchange :(
