Just like the good old days of running Windows 3.1 on an Intel 386sx. We’ve come full circle.

Hell yeah, that’s an earworm alright.

She Don’t Use Jelly - Flaming Lips

No, but yes.

Empathy.

Sorry, I’m not aware of the meaning of those acronyms. Can you expand?

Just like the bad old days, when entire sites were made in Flash and Linux users were shafted. Ridiculous.

My newish Xiaomi has an IR diode which is very useful to switch the AC on or off when I can’t be bothered to find the remote, and to mute TVs in restaurants.

It has a 3.5mm audio jack too.

Honest question: which euro alternatives do you recommend for mail, cloud?

Cop Land

This week I went to a concert, bought the vinyl there and it came with a download code to get the FLACs.

I won, the artist won, the middlemen got shafted. Great success.

It’s not going away. The cat is out of the bag.

As with any tool it has its use cases. It’s not a good fit for everything. You can drive a screw with a hammer but a screwdriver works best.

We’re experiencing the capitalist euphoria that happens when something new comes along. This needs to get regulated into submission like all the previous bubbles.

If you don’t notice any change, they are working as intended.

You’re not going to get popups to ask you to please use Copilot, if that is what you’re expecting :-)

As a future customer, please include high quality connectors to import legacy data from Jira and Confluence. We’re going to need them. Thank you in advance.

One man’s e-waste is another’s Linux homelab.

Well, Portuguese is a Latin language, so there’s a common root.

I’m finishing Talos Principle II, which is quite awesome with some great new head-scratching mechanics.

Other favourites that I always keep around to chill:

• Sable
• Journey
• Valley
• Torchlight
• Into the Breach
• Baba is You
• Plunge

Some others that I jump in for a quick adrenaline boost:

• Into the Pit
• Immortal Redneck
• Ziggurat
• Ion Fury

Impeccable taste in puzzle games, congrats!

Haven’t played any of the RDR series. I have RDR2 but it won’t work in my Linux box.

A game I had high hopes for was Witcher 3, simply based on internet hype. Somehow it doesn’t work for me. Maybe I was expecting a better Skyrim. The main character is too opinionated. The immersion is not there for me.

Only recently crossed that bridge. Now I dread driving, having to deal with rush hour traffic, finding parking spots, and all the associated stress.

Public transportation also has issues, but you can use the time to listen to some music, podcasts, audiobooks, online courses, books…
