I’m never usually an early access person, but Unknown Worlds has a proven track record. They’ve released two games from early access after a very open development period. Plus they fuck over Krafton if it sells well, so win win IMHO.

I use nano for quick edits and vim for longer stuff or things that need better find and replace.

Yeah I own Destiny 2, but when I converted to Linux, I stopped playing it. It wasn’t good enough to dual boot for one game.

They’re getting rid of search entirely and making everything AI summaries. It’s literally just AI responses and nothing else.

Who TF cares? If you want containerized apps, run Flatpak. There is no application packaged for Snap that I’ve not seen packaged for Flatpak, too. And Flatpak is better in basically every way.

I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of the $74.99 I paid for Plex Pass Lifetime several years ago. If they ever get rid of my Plex Pass and try to say “Lifetime didn’t actually mean Lifetime”, I’ll be gone.

Out of curiosity, why avoid Flatpak? I get snap or AppImage, but Flatpak is generally great.

I do this. I also do other weird things like eat all around the “nest” of gravy in mashed potatoes and only eat the center when everything else on my plate is gone so there isn’t any “contamination” of gravy on other things.

That is, unless I’m eating turkey. Then, mixing it with Mashed Potatoes is a must.

Capitalist screeching intensifies

“While we do not comment on pending litigation, we will keep the plaintiffs in our prayers during this process,” USDA spokesperson Michael Abboud said.

Hey Michael…fuuuuuuuck you.

Yeah it really needs to be on leadership to help implement these kinds of things at the state, local, and school level.

As someone who has lived in the Midwest most of my life, people absolutely walk around in shorts and T-shirts after the temp jumps post-winter.

Never underestimate how fucking lazy humans can be.

Solution:

Warn the students throughout the year “If you use AI all year for your schoolwork, you will fail the exams every month or two”. Teach AI literacy, how it works, and the dangers of not learning the material and how it’s a snowball effect. Teach the “why” it’s important to use your brain to solve the problem, and state that they should be using their own words/math/etc. Students suspected of using AI should have a note sent to their parents early on to hopefully correct their path early.

Exams are paper and pencil only. No computers. No phones. No smart glasses. When students are getting an A on their homework and flunking their exams, it’ll be pretty obvious. Even a student who has anxiety about exams can get a C.

Except the whole point of education is to LEARN how to do it without these tools. If you’re just turning your brain off and handing in the output, you are literally missing the point.

It’s like using calculators on steroids. There are times to use calculators and times to force mental math. You can teach kids AI literacy and usage habits, but letting them just use no thinking makes the entire exercise pointless. We might as well close schools, because having the AI generated your math homework or essay is fucking pointless.

Crack is a helluva drug

30F in the American Midwest: Shorts and T-shirts

30F in the American South: 14 layers and they’ve cleared the grocery stores of all water bottles in panic

My Xbox 360 RRoD’ed on me twice.

It also had its disc drive die THE DAY I got Skyrim on release after waiting in line for it.

I spent the next several hours learning how to flash the firmware of a broken RRoD’ed Xbox 360 so that I could replace my drive with its parts.

It was simultaneously the best and worst console I ever owned:

Best because I have a lot of fond memories playing Halo 3 multiplayer, Skyrim, etc. with my friends in my college apartment we all shared.

Worst because it was an unreliable piece of shit.

And … If the AI can’t solve your problem after you’ve cultivated all that tech debt, you’re fucked. You should always know the code being written, whether vibe coded or otherwise.

That’s the fun part…
