Screaming at my single-threaded, synchronous web scraper “Why are you so slow, I have a 4090!”

Why would an RTX 4090 make Python faster?

At this rate, the closest thing to a new Disco Elysium we’re getting is the book on all these disputes.

Been playing quire a bit of the new Dragon Age. I normally don’t play games close to release, and I’ve never played a DA game before, but I watched a review and it seemed like something I was in the mood for. Been enjoying it quire a bit, more than I expected. I just really need to do something about my thermals.

“Dumb moves” seems to be he theme of Microsoft lately.

What do you mean by handwriting features? I’ve played around with Write a bit and it has some cool features (I really like the ability to make a series of stokes a link) but I wouldn’t call them handwriting features.

handwriting app that works on a lot of platforms including Linux which cannot be said about most handwritten note-taking applications

To be fair, we have it quite good in this regard between Xournalpp and Rnote. Certainly areas where we only have worse options.

Which would also be a weird claim given the state of Linux YouTube.

A standalone VR headset from Valve has been rumoured for a while, maybe this for getting games targeted at Facebook’s Quest to run.

But we already have a carpet museum.

True. I need to go back and replay NV again, but I do remember Lonesome Road being one of DLCs I enjoyed the least.

I really enjoyed the show, it was good. I just wish it didn’t take place in California. I hate that Bethesda’s idea of Fallout is a wasteland in never-ending strife, one that can never move past the scrappy survivor stage of the post-apocalypse.

Zoxide, lets you quickly jump to places in your filesystem. E.g. z pic will put you in ~/Pictures.

I’m not saying that these, or remakes generally, are bad(I’ve even been thinking of picking up the DS remake). I just don’t think they should be contenders for GOTY.

Why are two remakes on this? It’s not like this year has been short on good releases.

Damn, what are the odds?

Chrome, and browsers based on it, currently account for more than three quarters of web traffic. This gives Google a huge amount of power over the web and how people are able to interact with it. Google is also a company who’s primary business is advertising and surveillance; this means they have every incentive to curtail your ability to stop websites from spying on you and force you to use the web on their terms. They’re currently exercising this power with the rollout of Manifest V3, where they’re severely limiting the functionality of content blocking extensions like uBlock Origin.

Checking if the user is using Firefox is pretty easy:

CSS.supports('(-moz-user-input: none)') // only returns true in FF

GTK currently has a CSS extension that lets you define named colours with @define-color.
