If they're willing to pay the +100% weekend overtime*, I'm happy to do it. If they've opened a ticket, that is.

A boring release is the best kind of release. It means that most of the effort went into stability, compatibility, and bugfixes.

If you want updates to be exciting, install Arch, but only update it once every six months. You can even run bets on which system inroduces some breaking change that forces you to reach into its guts.

IIRC, Twitch uses similar ad injection. Ad blockers get around it by opening new video streams until they find one that isn't running an ad. Could be wrong though, I'm parroting an uncited comment.

"Did you open a ticket? No? Then it didn't happen. Have a good weekend."

Do people actually believe Apple's hogwash about privacy?

  1. There is a setting for an alternative character control mode. Use it, the regular one is dogshit.

  2. The level difference between Geralt and enemies is very important. A difference of +/- 4 can make fights ridiculously trivial or a one-hit KO. Same goes for jobs' recommended difficulty.

  3. Getting swarmed by level 50 sewer rats is not fun.

Oh, I've seen that before.

"Hey AI, please come up with an efficient mass transit vehicle for the modern age."
"Trains."
"Um... no, we need a modern approach that maximizes throughput and--"
"Trains."
"No. How about pods with people inside--"
"On cheap infrastructure with low friction steel wheels and coupled together. Trains."
"It's not letting us push our agenda, this isn't going to work. Hey, other AI..."

Our esteemed leaders have Daddy Vladdy's hand up their buttholes. Hungary is completely reliant on fuel (both hydrocarbons and nuclear) imported from east, and Orbán is not willing to humble himself and ask the west for the same because he'd have to make concessions. The situation is fucked from both end, and the people are going to pay for it.

It's a poor imitation. A mockery of the name. A GUI addict's idea of a CLI tool.

I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair's wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I'm using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I'd like to hear other solutions.

I think Starfield's main menu is neat. So I made it into a desktop widget. Files (including the stylized logo) here, wallpaper here.

I used the Chakra Petch font (AUR: ttf-chakra-petch) for the menu buttons, and Liberation Sans (with some editing in Inkscape) for the logo.

I'm not trying to attack him, but this is pretty funny.

Context: 11 days ago DT released a video where he called out the people who refer to Linux distributions as "Linux" as opposed to "GNU/Linux". Today he released a video where he did exactly that.

It might not look like anything special, but I spent an embarrassing number of hours on this rice, mostly on the non-graphical user interactions. The layout is a custom master-stack implementation, the groupbox widget is an almost complete reimplementation to support a more flexible styling on multihead systems, the Nvidia GPU monitor widget is completely my own, there are popups and context menus out the ass, and there is a persistence module that saves dynamic data (like layouts and group names) between sessions.

Tomorrow I'm moving to Wayland and I might not have the patience to get Qtile running again.
