Also, not every waking second has to be productive. That's some real capitalistic brainwashing.

They would wheel out a goddamn trebuchet to eject him about it.

A hard line angled up at about 45 degrees.

Not to downplay what Valve and all of the countless Linux contributers are doing and have accomplished, but I wouldn't be on Linux if Windows hasn't gone to shit.

I was basically a 30 year long Windows fanboy. It got so bad that it drove me away. And now I'm a Linux fanboy.

Our off shore contractors produce some of the worst code. But it's impossible to get work done and also be vigilant enough to reject their bad pull requests. So basically you'll end up looking a code one day that is godawful and think, "this is off shore". And yep, git blame tells you you're right.

How dare she address the audience in front of her when she should have been thinking about you, who wasn't in the audience, and in fact not even watching.

You are very special. This industry awards show and its members should have really considered your feelings.

Ok, snark off. Don't watch awards shows. They're not about you, or for you. They're for industry circle jerking.

So, slightly tangential, but I have a failed home automation project this past week.

I have been using an unofficial integration for my mini-splits for a few years. The guy who wrote it likes to disappear for 6 months at a time and it seems like it may be abandoned. It finally stopped working after a home assistant update.

I had bought some ESP based replacement dongles about a year ago and decided to finally use them. Well, not all of the features worked, so I set about writing my own firmware.

That ended up working even less well. I wasted a lot of time and effort trying to get my firmware to work before giving up and just moving to the fork of the original Home Assistant integration for the official dongles.

I hate being beholden to third party stuff like this because I have robust automation setup for my mini-splits and updates can completely break them and be a massive pain to fix.

I'm not sad I tried and failed so much as I'm just sad it didn't work. I may try again sometime in the future.

If I had to give up either Linux or Nvidia, it's not even a question. It's Nvidia, and it's not even close.

I sold my 3070 and bought a 7800xt just so I could have a smoother experience, and I wasn't even having issues.

Just play NMS. Get it on sale if the price is a concern. It's neat.

I'm sorry, is this some joke I'm too atomic to understand?

I had never seen the original until right before watching the sequel. While I really appreciate the original, I had no real expectations from the sequel, but it still blew me away.

I honestly can't say I've ever seen a better sequel. Especially not so long after the first one came out. It's pretty amazing.

Stop consuming AI slop.
