Honestly, that’s fair. Maybe I was being a little too harsh, plus this gen did come with more customizable settings (IE, setting to “performance mode” or “fidelity” mode)

I feel like we hear this every single time though. “Largest tech leap in a hardware generation” very much means “we’ll bump the graphics a little, we’re still targeting 30fps though”

SimCity had great ideas (thinking of SimCity Societies in particular here) but as others have mentioned, piss poor execution.

Cities Skylines came in with good execution and stole their entire market share from them.

I ended up signing up for Grafana and Loki, however Loki and Grafana Cloud Logs were both overkill for my use case. As a result, I ended up going with Loggly after consulting a Reddit thread and that has been working perfectly. Thank you, though!

Man, I love Debian. It’s not the sexiest distro, but it gets the job done damn well

I don’t even trust Steam, let alone Mozilla. I don’t think I’ve ever had any credit card auto-fill on any browser I’ve ever had

The Linux Experiment is regularly sponsored by some of them (IE Tuxedo)

How to Disappear Completely is so good

I don’t have any musicians that consistently make me feel that way, so have a list of songs instead:

• The Price of a Mile (Sabaton)
• Doomed (I Prevail)
• Let Me Be Sad (I Prevail)
• Soon You’ll Get Better (Taylor Swift ft. The Chicks)
• Wildest Dreams (Taylor Swift)
• Tess-Timony (Ice Nine Kills)
• When the Party’s Over (Billie Eilish)

How the hell do you even think “it’s fine, I’ll put this password in plain text” when literally building an app for a CREDIT UNION? Obviously it’s not acceptable to do that anywhere, but you would think they would think just a little bit harder about the decision when working with such sensitive data?

The really irritating part is that tools like Playwright let you end-to-end test your product across the big three (Chromium, Firefox and Webkit). Which, most of the time, means these products that specify “Chrome only” simply aren’t E2E testing with modern tools.

Usually, I get blocked on the sign-up page. For example, on the Coralogix sign-up page, it won’t let me create my account with an email with a @gmail.com extension

Hopefully a similar situation to Palworld?

Windows Defender should be more than good enough for most users. Just make sure to use an adblocker (such as UBlock Origin), only visit HTTPS sites as much as you can (you should see a lock in the corner of the URL bar on most browsers) and ensure you always virus-scan programs you downloaded before running them.

Also, exercise caution on the Internet in general. Never just click “yes” when a program asks for admin permission - make sure you check exactly which program is trying to do it and that the publisher is reasonable. Never exit read-only mode on Office-suite documents unless you know the document is for-sure safe (exiting read-only mode allows macros to run).

Doing all of this, Windows Defender should do fine. I’m assuming 99% of this is common sense for you though, since you’ve already found your way to the Fediverse!

That’s why there’s mods! Also, if the caves get samey, you can always go end-busting or build a new project.

Minecraft. There’s always another automatic farm to create, a new cave to explore and a new mod to try out! Not to mention the fun that multiplayer brings…

As others mentioned, Stremio + Torrentio is amazing. Just make sure you use, preferably, RealDebrid with it. If you can’t use RD, you can use a VPN, but it will cost you some playback speed.

PopcornTime as others have mentioned is amazing, but sadly I haven’t heard much about it lately. Honestly, Stremio + Torrentio is way better though in my opinion. It’s easy to set up and has a ton of shows.

At least it’s Genshin for only an hour, not 12 like some of the people I’ve unfortunately met. Also, nothing wrong with 12 as long as you’re retired

Then again, how many retirees are playing Genshin? Haha

This likely breaks your company’s terms of use. This can definitely lead to termination, especially since the other OS would likely not be monitor-able by them (opening them up to potential liability, along with the myriad of other issues)
