  • When I tell people that I use a GPS app, they almost always insist that it’s easier for me to just head down about a quarter mile south on Aniston Street (if you crossed the train tracks, you’ve gone too far) and make a left on Evansdale, it’s the one with the tree branches covering the stop sign. From there you’re just going to get on the nearest ramp for the express way and get off on 257. Now remember, 257’s exit is actually going to be on your left after about 5 miles, the signs won’t tell you that! Once you take the exit, there’s two burger kings, and you’re gunna wanna turn right after you’ve passed the second one. After that you’ll take your fourth right turn into a large parking lot—you can see the house from there!

  • Heads up: once in a blue moon it’s on “sale” for free on Epic Games.

    (Ask me how I know.)

  • Ah, yes. I keep hearing more and more of people buying merchandise through TikTok among some other seemingly app-only interfaces.

    I miss “old internet” :(

  • I bought a VR headset solely to play VTOL VR; worth it!

  • I often decide I don’t actually need what I was about to purchase when I run into this, and I close out the browser tab and move on.

    …I guess in some weird way, the poor experience benefits me!

  • I was confused when I saw that it was discontinued. I bought several in 2015 and still have them.

  • I’m far more efficient with AI tools as a programmer. I love it! 🤷‍♂️

  • I was looking for this comment. This is it—not AI.

  • I time it right so that I can run towards the microwave “in slow motion” and pretend I’m stopping a bomb from going off, 1 second before it blows. My kid loves it. 🤷‍♂️

  • Toyota? Buddy, that’s not a “pickup truck.” That’s a street legal war machine! A technical!!! 😎

  • What games are you playing and what hardware are you running?

    Linux has come a long way regarding the ability to easily play games made to run on Windows. It’s never been so easy and well performing. However, in my experience, it’s not quite “just works” yet. Yes, some Windows games will “just work,” but for now that’s still the exception to the rule in my experience.

    I use Arch btw, with a i9-9900 and an Nvidia RTX 2070. I still have to tweak settings, research what others are tweaking, I have a few hours of research and tinkering invested into stopping up close jitters in VR(still unresolved), my graphic settings have to be lower than normal for decent performance and I do not enjoy the same frames I’ve enjoyed on Windows with this same machine.

    I could probably get some better performance squeezed out of these games, but it’s going to cost me time and tinkering.

    tl;dr I don’t think we’re in “just works” territory yet, but we’re getting closer and the progress over the recent years has been amazing. I can’t wait to be rid of Windows forever.

  • 3.3.5a for life

  • For me, Docker has been amazing. It’s probably my single most favorite tool in my tool belt. It has made my life so much easier over the years. It’s far from hell for me! 🐳

  • This meme is 10/10

  • Just came back to Debian on my gaming rig after a 4 year hiatus, I’ve missed it.

  • XP was “the Linux” of Windows releases… 🤘

  • The French are known to protest like no other.
