Wasn’t Go designed to be a memory safe systems programming language? I haven’t really used it enough to see if it holds true, though.

I just picked up some games from Humble Bundle that I’m going to play while waiting for Unicorn Overlord to release. I think I’ll start on Loop Hero first, but some of the other games in the bundle look interesting too.

I’m also struggling with the itch to go back to ER, busy in a similar boat (around the Haligtree entrance, but it’s been around a year and I don’t think I have the chops anymore). I think I’m going to try and hold out until there’s more info on the expansion.

Here’s the synopsis from the site (since it’s a podcast I don’t feel bad posting this here):

In this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we speak with members of Safe Redlands Schools (SRS), a group of antifascist moms who have come together to push back against far-Right and fascist groups attempting to advance an authoritarian agenda in the Southern California area, specifically in local school districts.

During our discussion, we talk about how these groups, which include far-Right street gangs like the Proud Boys, grew out of far-Right conspiracy theories and reaction to COVID-19 lockdowns, pivoting quickly to opposing “Critical Race Theory” and embracing a politics of gender fascism. As far-Right militants set their sites on the schools boards as a new terrain of confrontation, violence erupted at various meetings, with parents and their children often caught in the middle between politicians, out of town grifters, and their followers in violent far-Right organizations.

Members of SRS map out how they have built a network of concerned parents across their region, the wide variety of organizing that they engage in within their communities against the far-Right, and why they made the important decision to openly label themselves as “anti-fascist.”

I did this about a year ago and haven’t looked back. The only thing that’s sometimes a problem is if a game has anti cheat stuff that’s super Windows specific, but I wouldn’t want to run those things anyway.

I made the switch around a year ago and only have a handful of games that don’t work.

I’ve played with Linux for the last 15-20 years, so I knew what I was getting into, but also things are in a way better state now than they used to be.

It’s just hearsay, but I’ve read a few times that EAC actually makes supporting Linux fairly easy and at almost no cost, but the game companies just don’t care

The downside is it makes Google the de facto owner of all of your online information. You could never use a Google product, but because they have such a large market share they’ll essentially force every site and platform to use their solution.

It’s definitely not perfect, but I’ve been running Gnome Wayland on my Nvidia card for close to 6 months, and haven’t had too many problems.

A lot of interesting things to digest in this thread. I think I’ve seen a lot of it, but this quote really resonated with me, being in the early wave of the Reddit migration to now:

So you can’t tell, not for sure, how good a platform’s systems are for managing that kind of griefing until it gets big enough to really start attracting griefing at scale.

I’m sure a lot of it comes down to different experiences and generally different points of view, but I’ve found myself disagreeing with pretty much every article from this site I’ve seen so far.

I got Cassette Beasts specifically for my deck, though everything else I got should work, though the controls might be rough.

That’s surprising, I just used PayPal earlier today to make my steam purchases. I assume you already tried to open a support ticket?

I don’t know about this specific program, but pretty much every other time I’ve seen something like this it’s been treated as another language and is a way for developers to test that that feature actually works.

Honestly, I don’t think more of the same is going to help you feel less burned out. Obviously your couple of sentences doesn’t give me a lot of insight into your life, but you do not seem to enjoy your job, and that is going to color your whole perception on anything related to it. I think I’d honestly recommend you start looking for work you actually enjoy, but if that isn’t possible I recommend unplugging as much as possible for awhile. That’s the only way I’ve ever had the spark come back for me. Starting side projects always lose their luster after a session or two and just started to feel like another source of stress for me.

I don’t even think that it’s so much a lack of decency in most people, so much as the capitalist society we live in that falsely promotes the idea that it’s a zero sum game and that inherently drives people into a crab mentality.

I believed that like 5 years ago, when S42 was “releasing next year!” Wish I could get my money back.

Tidal was decent for me, but I do a lot of listening to more long tail acts, and probably 80-90% of them weren’t on Tidal, so I ended up switching back to Spotify once I found out that they had cancelled the supposedly better revenue sharing with artists.

I haven’t verified that everything is totally there, but Proton has all their stuff here: https://github.com/ProtonMail

The ACLU tends to rabidly support anything that labels itself as free speech, even if it actually stifles it. Most importantly, to me, their continued support for Citizens United.

But maybe that’s the only real case and it’s just loomed so large in my mind for the chilling impact “corporations get free speech, and their dollars count as that” has had on the US political landscape.
