Excellent joke. No notes.

Ideal: “Oh wow! I could hang out with friends in my dreams! Conversations on the moon!!”

Reality: “You’re late”

Bonus: “We don’t have to pay them anything because they’re not physically at work!”

Thanks for saying something because I read it as “Farts Peed” and was concerned.

As another longtime Vi user - I had a hell of a time & wound up switching back lol

I think for a lot of folks Helix would be intuitive. Vi has her hooks in me, though.

Oh. I know. But you don’t understand - I’m compelled to type it out. I must.

clear. Constantly, and for no reason.

Thank you for the write-up!!

Notes while I’m watching:

1. The “vibe” is different - in my head I translated this to “he likes the GUI more”
2. Minetest has zero “story” / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it’s purely a sandbox experience.
3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
4. Mods are built-in, and don’t require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
5. Customization via the Settings menu

The “built-in support for mods” caught my eye. That’s pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod “sandbox” to play in.

Exactly how it’ll do this is yet to be nailed down, but individual pallets will carry up to a ton of small cargo items, and they’ll move without human interference from one end to the other.

Someone’s been playing Factorio.

Metal Gear Solid 4 was tremendous fun to replay and complete. Beating the game in various ways unlocks new gear (that’s maybe a little broken) for your next playthrough.

It’s a linear game, so I could see it getting repetitive for some people, but it kept me entertained.

I don’t get NixOS

It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.

I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.

Absolutely. Having things like the fuel gauge & speedometer within my field of view as I’m driving means I don’t have to look down / away from the road to check.

Yes indeed

Which other Sim games are you eyeballing? I’ve been craving a good non-EA Sims game.

Pretty sure he says (and the article quotes him)

“I want to wish you all a happy Father’s Day, but please, please, please wear a helmet. If I didn’t, honestly, I wouldn’t be here now.”

Holy nuts that bruise is a beaut! https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1536/cpsprodpb/1a06/live/a42086d0-2b5e-11ef-bdc5-41d7421c2adf.png.webp

The marketing spin calling LLMs “Artificial Intelligence” doesn’t help.

… the aqueduct?

I see it’s time for today’s round of “Headline or Slayer Lyrics”
