This and the Nike ad have been the worst ads during the Olympics.

I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn’t on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

I’m likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

This is what I’m going to have to do as well since my computer isn’t compatible with Win11. The only thing I’m worried about is gaming.

My main critique of the genre is how lazy it’s done. There’s nothing wrong with having the MC reincarnated, transported, or made overpowered. One Punch Man has a massively overpowered MC but it’s still really good. The problem is that they’re all low effort cookie cutter stories that are just checking items off a list.

They’re also fairly unrealistic. “Gasp…is this that isekai thing I’ve been reading about? I guess I’ll go join the Adventurer Guild and get a super dangerous job killing monsters despite the fact that I’ve never been in a dangerous situation before.”

There’s no way all these random people will just calmly accept finding themselves in another world with no freaking out or depression setting in first.

As a programmer, I consider The User to be the enemy. No matter how thoroughly I seemingly test my code, the second the user gets their hands on it, it breaks left and right from all the crazy shit they do.

That is definitely way too invasive. Plugging something on to a Roku TV shouldn’t enable them to show you ads through that other device.

I was actually thinking about getting a Roku once too. Really dodged a bullet.

How is it getting better battery life? Are OLEDs more energy efficient or does it have a bigger battery?

I saw a comment on another post by a European explaining American politics to another European.

“Their left is our right, their right is our far right, and their far right are literal flag waving Nazis.”

There’s also a lot of “what idiot wrote this code” only to check git and find out it was you.

Another good thing is putting people you follow into lists. I just wish we could do the same with hashtags.

As a backend developer who occasionally has to work on the frontend, that top image is pretty accurate although it requires bootstrap smeared all over to pretty things up a bit. After that it will have the “Good Enough” seal of approval.

Exactly this. Most people care about convenience above all else. People want their software to “just work” without having to fiddle with settings or add-ons or anything else.

I’ve been feeling this lately as well. I’ll see people post pictures of display cases filled with all their consoles and it makes me regret giving away my old consoles when I bought a new one.

I especially miss my N64.
