So many settings I changed, applications I installed, configured and forgot about.

Yeah this gives me existential dread as well. This is why my next distro will probably be NixOs. Their distro’s philosophy is designed off of a configuration based environment.

That hypothetically solves all those problems, although I’m sure it adds some new ones of its own.

Hmm? Not quite sure what you’re asking, but it’s freely available here:

PySolFC (PySolFC is a collection of solitaire card games) https://f-droid.org/packages/org.lufebe16.pysolfc/

Factorio, Minecraft, Stardew Valley. Also solitaire on my phone (PySolFC).

Personally, my last holdout on my desktop is VR, and I’d rather not dual boot.

My laptop has been running Linux for years now, although I’ve been having some issues with it lately, possibly due to repeated in-place upgrades, so I’ve been thinking of switching away from mint to a rolling release distro. Although, I have to say, NixOS’s philosophy is really compelling.

Well, the article says they were in QA, sooo I guess we’re the QA now, and they can just slap an early access label on everything.

That’ll happen when your pollution gets slurped up by the biteys. If you can manage it, a wall with with turrets and an ammo supply belt to feed them is good early solution.

I’m still addicted to the new factorio expansion. 125 hrs on my current save and counting. The factory must grow!

Pepe is a beloved internet meme, not a symbol of hate. Rightoid asshats need to leave pepe and doge the fuck alone. >:(

Oh! I’d never heard about this game before now, but it looks really cool. Too bad about denuvo though, that’s a nope from me too.

Absolutely normal. Kitty just likes to stay grounded.

I will warn you, it’ll push your requirement for understanding game mechanics, and make you solve problems in new ways from the base game. It’s also not feasibly beatable without at least some understanding of circuits, logistic mechanics, and (space) trains.

That said, good luck, and may your factory grow in perpetuity!

It’s not for everyone, but if it’s for you, it’s amazing.

I’d highly recommend beating the base game first if you haven’t already. The complexity really ramps up quite a bit, so if you struggle with the base game, it might be better to hold off. That said, if you’re confident in your problem solving skills and willing to push through some of the tougher bits, you could totally jump right in to Space Age.

I think I’m at around 100 hrs in to SA so far, and maybe (optimistically) half way through, and I’ve loved every bit. Except Gleba, fuck Gleba. :)

So was this just a purely “everyone’s doing it, so the customers (shareholders) expect it, so we’ll follow suit” type thing? Do mass layoffs inspire confidence in the stock so it goes up? It’s hard to understand from a rational position that throwing away money makes money for the investors.

Thanks, fixed!

I really wanted to like DS. The world seems really interesting, and so does the story. Maybe I didn’t give it enough of a chance, but I found the gameplay to swing between boring and frustrating, with a side of gorgeous scenery.

So no, I don’t think that was just you.

Wordle gets a lot easier with some strategic opening word choices. The basic strategy is to pick words eliminating RSTLNE early (the “wheel of fortune” strategy), as those are the most commonly used letters.

There’s also a more specific strategy aiming to win on the 3rd guess by maximizing common letters and placements using two predetermined opening guesses. “Clint” and “soare” were found to be the most optimal, but any combo on that list would be a very good pick.

Honestly, in a managed environment, there’s not really much learning to do. All the hard part of learning Linux is dealing with system issues, or when shit breaks. In corporate land, you’ve got IT staff for that.

The biggest hurdle would be learning libre office, but considering the average white collar level of mastery of MS office is pretty poor, the basics really aren’t that different in LO.

I’m not entirely sure since it wasn’t my comment, but personally I wouldn’t find it unreasonable to dislike a platform solely based on who owns it, and want to discourage its use. That’s especially true for someone in the fediverse, as I think most of us ended up here due to the continual enshitification of reddit.
