Upgraded to Omarchy Quatro. Took maybe a minute on a 5 year old ThinkPad over shitty WiFi. New native apps for display, volume and network settings are actually really good. It’s actually starting to feel like a full fledged distro rather than just running DHH’s config on your device.

We can not overstate how much the economy has become about turning everything that was a good into a "service" specifically to extract from you more rent.

ICEMAN: Scott, I finished your taxes. CYCLOPS: It’s great having a CPA on the X-Men. ICEMAN: Warren, do you want me to do yours? ANGEL: Bobby and Scott, you’re my best friends, so understand that I say this with the utmost love and respect for you both: taxes are for poor people.

To me funniest part about using AI to write emails is that a prompt that will yield a sufficiently detailed email on any non-trivial subject, is going to need to be longer than the actual email itself. So you are actually doing more, to do less.

Numenera is a brilliant RPG setting marred by a an absolute dogshit core mechanic. In Numenera, 99% of all loot is supposed to be single use magic items. They're equivalent to scrolls, except that anyone can use them, and you can't copy them into your spell book.

Why did they call this rule “Plunging Fire” and not “High Ground” is beyond me.

Hot take: one of the things that Go got absolutely right is the trailing coma in multi-line initializations: stuff := []string{ "foo", "bar", }

It's funny how people pretend not to understand that making an app at a "hackaton" is equivalent to building something in your garage using mostly duct tape, hot glue and zip ties, and while it may work, it is definitely not something you'd feel comfortable selling to a customer.

Can confirm. I recently re-watched it out of nostalgia, and I hate to say it, but it does not hold up. Also, everyone is talking like they're in a marvel movie all the time because Joss Wheedon invented that trope. This show literally pioneered "well, that just happened" quipping style.

I buy these Arzopa 16" LED screens for use with my retro computers. You find them on sale from Amazon for about $60. Fits perfectly on top of my Apple IIe. The composite video is converted to HDMI using a RetroTINK #apple2 #retrocomputing #retrotink #appleII

If you are looking for an AI-free, bloat-free Notepad replacement, you don't need Edit++. If you're on Windows 11 25H2 you can just type in "edit" in the terminal. Yes, after years of absence the MS-DOS default text editor is back! It has been resurrected and re-written in rust.

This is how a barn owl looks like without feathers. If you never saw a living owl, and were working only from it's skeleton, would you be able to faithfully reconstruct how it actually looks? Or would you end up with something like this? Dinosaurs probably looked nothing like we imagine them.

In a world where you can just buy a potion of invisibility from a street vendor for the price of a hot-dog, some people being able to do it innately, but only once a day and only for 30 seconds, probably wouldn't be all that remarkable.
