I almost never use it, but if LibreOffice can come in handy a few times a year, why not at least keep it installed?

A lot of stuff is indeed browser based, so I probably spend more time in Firefox than in my code editor and terminal.

But LibreOffice is welcome to live on 0.1% of my disk space!

This is so great to see, and the timing is perfect.

My son already calls the PC Steam, as in “we played game A on Xbox and game B on Steam,” so maybe by the time he has a PC in his room Steam really will run the whole platform.

And unfortunately, some weapons only work on the power. Like insurance hoops and red tape to delay or deny necessary health care.

However the details of this pan out, the timing of this news is beautiful. It’s right there alongside the headline in my feed about the Windows 11 market share going down.

And it’s not about being anti-Microsoft, it’s just that the market conditions are great for cementing Linux as an expected place to release your games. And I personally love seeing VR as part of it.

Ooh do they offer this in a multi-pack with the “Everything I Don’t Like is Woke (this engine is woke)” book?

Not just tech illiterate but also advertising illiterate. The regular folks I know seem happy to wade through endless platform ads and influencer sales pitches. Enshittification can really be a slowly boiling frog type scenario.

It’s polished and easy to use, it leverages all the work that goes into Debian and Ubuntu, but it’s still Linux under the hood and doesn’t forbid you from getting into the weeds.

I run Mint Cinnamon on my work machine, developing software for embedded Linux products, and I haven’t had any regrets.

A wise man once said, If you choose not to decide, You still have made a choice

also privileged people who think that a Trump presidency won’t affect them

I’m a privileged person who probably won’t be directly affected by another Trump presidency. Probably. Hopefully.

But anybody who genuinely holds that opinion, and doesn’t care what happens to everybody else, may as well just be a full-on trumper.

Oh wow, thanks for the explanation.

And regarding the further processing, it depends on the product and how it’s taken. Maybe it’s just less controlled where I am, because you can buy just about anything you want with a medical card and there are plenty of thca products available.

But you’re obviously in a unique situation and the stuff works for your friends, so my guess seems a lot less likely!

Any chance that thc oil contains THCA and needs to be decarbed? Seems weird to feel nothing, unless your prescription was minuscule to begin with.

It seems pretty consistent that any time I hear somebody mention Sharia Law, I am in for some horrible takes.

No anomalies detected in this case.

Well look at mister fancy brain over here who’s all like “I see an important thing that needs to be done and then I go do it” and shit!

Your comment reminded me about how I keep wondering if I should bite the bullet and throw away all the plastic cups, plates, bowls, and utensils in the house. Spend a little money on more metal and ceramic stuff, and potentially benefit my family’s health long term. Maybe.

Unfortunately many of us have been taught that being a good person and a good citizen equals being productive and accumulating resources. Things that are quantifiable and external to the actual person and their relationships.

Being productive and accumulating some resources can be good activities to spend time on, but they are practical necessities and not defining characteristics of existence.

Or worked on a similar team where the C & C++ was mostly written over a decade ago by dudes in another country who loved multi threading, and some of the “new” features were half-completed about 5 years ago, and nothing is documented, and oh yeah not a single person who did any of that still works at the company. Team is made of great people but all have been here for 0-3 years.

The idea of Rust being roughly as fast and low level as C++ but with improvements to memory safety and concurrency sounds heavenly. I know it’s in the back of most of our minds to look into it for the next big project.

It makes it all the more attention-grabbing when you hit just the right mix of attitude, self-care, antidepressants, and stimulants that you can just do some shit and feel good about it, then even look forward to doing some other shit and getting that done too.

It doesn’t fix everything and it doesn’t stay that way without ongoing work, but it helps to genuinely know the feeling to help you going your way back there again.

Yeah I don’t know about y’all but I have plenty of family members who are addicted to being angry.

Sun Solaris was my first *nix, and I have very strong memories of hanging out in the cluster of Sun machines as well as running a remote x window session from whatever overlocked Celeron win2k machine I had in my dorm at the time.

Layers of protection. It’s worth it when we’re talking about life and death safety.
