Instant, infinite choice = permanent anxiety. The most relaxed I've been in decades was being stuck in an airport overnight, with a broken phone, and a book that was not as good as the show. No where to go, no one expecting anything fr

I've tried them all but find it useful to hear the preferred choices of humans with established opinions about search engines. You'd think we were all discussing eggs and I interrupted with "Who's your favorite Spice Gir

Simple "mp3" player with terrible screen/interface, low-capacity SD cards with some wav files, decorated like a mix-tape, curated for straight-through listening. Perfectly scratches the retro/disconnected itch for me.

I had a 4 track mini disc recorder, and dreams of becoming the go-to "audio engineer" for all the bands in my school :)

I'm never paying any of them, anything, ever again, but I'm sure we'll all get a little fucked somehow. I do hope it triggers more in-fighting amongst the scum of the earth.

Minecraft was what originally triggered me to dual boot Linux. I couldn't run either version in Windows 11 without also signing into the MS store, so I decided Java version was better than nothing. My kid doesn't play much MC anym

Roblox was the last thing keeping my Windows 11 partition alive. Today, I found Sober that runs the Android Version on Linux. Took no effort to install and feels just like the desktop windows version using KBM. Goodbye forever MS!

I don't want to manage environments unless I absolutely have to. In 25 years of development with other languages, I've never had a need. I'm sure it's great in places where management has decided that's a requiremen

I wouldn't be able to enjoy life with the knowledge there's a rootkit installed on my machine, developed by the same people that make video games, and hate all levels of accountability, riddled with vulnerabilities that could gran

It's a perfect litmus test as far as I'm concerned. If a company believes it's ok to put things like that on my machine, I don't want them anywhere near it, even if they were to "compromise" to work on Linux. R

I tried learning Python recently to move away from .NET. Wish I hadn't spent so much time reading about the language before actually trying to do a real world project. That environment and pip stuff is terrible. Where did they get the

But in the end, you could run what you needed, and move the garbage they threw in, out of the way. Now, I can't run Minecraft without logging into the MS Store. That was the last straw for me, and I built my entire career on Windows an

You think this article is talking about diversity? It's about telling people they're not allowed to be upset when they personally witness major injustice. It's about suppression of protests. It's about accepting fascism

A while ago, there was an annoying "bot" problem in Rocket League. Due to how the game works, I suspect Epic was behind all of them and just let the community believe it was "hackers". There's no way local bots woul
