And not just you, short hand used to be ubiquitous before the computer, now it’s all but extinct.

The reason it’s de facto mandatory is due to some in house extensions, assuming they work with this I could, but I also don’t particularly care about my privacy on a work machine. But I will be checking this out for my personal stuff!

In VSCode (yeah yeah MS bad, I have to use it for work) it puts a yellow box around the charcater, which I don’t immediately recognize the meaning of and highlights the line as “identifier “blah;” is undefined”. It’s not like your gunna spend all day on it, but that could waste a couple minutes if the dev wasn’t paying close attention, which is “fun prank” territory.

the ID Buzz is really interesting to me, but just doesn’t have the range. Ofc it’s pricey as well.

I have a Chevy Bolt EUV, ~400km range, weighs 1.6 metric tons and cost 36K USD for a trim with most of the bells and whistles.

I don’t drive myself but my wife uses it for a 7 hr drive a couple times a year just fine.

there was an old redditism that the best way to get off with murder is to use your car and call it an accident… I wonder if this is that. Get plastered, kill a nazi, go to jail for 5 years instead of 20.

Github doesn’t use two screen login but also still works with sso.

No actually I’m talking about Tom Sott, the variety reporter style content and a signature red shirt. Just checked out Joe scott he seems pretty cool

It was created by youtubers to try and gain independence from youtube, it’s cooperatively owned by the creators. It is mostly the same as those creators youtube content but with no ads and less ad friendly parts added in, occasionally a creator will put out some passion project that wouldn’t work on an ad supported platform. It skews edutainment and video essay type stuff, contrapoints, strange parts, tom scott, philosophy tube and Not Just Bikes are a few that are involved. Quite a lot of content overall but most of it available on youtube.

I like and use nebula too, but it isn’t really a community, I don’t think it has any way at all for users to communicate, no comments no profiles etc etc

This is probably a negotiating tactic for US tariffs but still good to see.

I’m not american, does this committee actually hold the power to release them or is this just a recommendation/symbolic? If rule of law is followed (I know big if) does this guarantee the release or are there still hurdles?

good budgeting takes away all the guilt in spending on wants. I look at my budget see if I have enough fun money to pay for it and get it if I do.

People used to joke that they’ll hear about an earthquake on Twitter before the the quake reaches them, this is the real life version of that which is pretty cool. Im a little concerned about the privacy of this system since surely they need your location in addition to accelerometer data to work but this seems like the sort of thing that might actually be worth it assuming it’s implemented sanely.

500 per piece of art is barely out of the struggling to eat level of artist. Be mad that the ones making 50000 each.

A large blank canvas alone is like a 100 bucks. If they are charging minimum wage for their time (they shouldn’t) and spend no money on brushes or paints that gives them 25hours per piece, which isn’t really that much time to be honest. Then hopefully you make enough in prints to pay the exhibitions cut and for time and money you spent marketing, networking, negotiating etc

Obviously there’s all kinds of art which different time and material commitments but 500 bucks really isn’t all that unreasonable.

Speed cameras are a money grab and should be abolished because they don’t actually result in safer driving and really is just a revenue generator.

Instead non-highway roads should be narrowed or otherwise calmed (and use that extra space for bike/pedestrian paths), this naturally causes almost all drivers to slow down, which increases safety. (source)

I really enjoyed Shipbreaker, I really hope they expand the game some more as it definitely left me wanting more. It’s a super satisfying game. A really fun hidden gem.

I 100%'d Expedition 33. Masterpiece of a game, NG++ has no appeal to me though, I preferred the french dub FWIW, I found American actors saying french words to be really offputting, but maybe that’s because I’m Canadian.

Now that’s done I’ve dusted off the PS5 for ** Death Stranding 2**. I just got to the place past the animal shelter to give a non-spoiler point in where I’m at. I really enjoyed the first game, mostly just the vibe, it’s a very cozy game for me. DS2 is mostly more of the same, which is pretty much what I want. They greatly expanded the combat, and made it a more important part of side quests. I’m not particularly excited or bothered by that, it is more fun, particularly stealth but I’m a bit disappointed they haven’t built up the trekking part of the game much, so far I don’t think I have unlocked any items that weren’t in the first game and isn’t combat focused but I’m hoping they mostly added to late game. I do really like that roads are not the pinnacle of development any more (I LIKE TRAINS!!). The UI is also a bit of a step down for me, but I can’t quite figure out why, it just feels a bit more awkward. I really like the added skill trees and the backpack modding, the new BTs are alright. The one thing I really really hated in the first game were the flashbacks to old wars, I despised these forced combat sequences and find them dull, thematically odd, and shows off the worst aspects of the game, I’m disappointed to see these are still in DS2 but with the better combat they are slightly more tolerable. Overall it’s a good sequel and I’m having a really fun time, but it is going in a direction that I think makes it less special. I find the themes are really interesting with the series as a whole, developing the wilderness is obviously a good thing, having lots of teamwork and cooperation is genuinely really good for the world of DS, but also the structures you make are ugly, contributing to something worse and somewhat annoying. It’s really interesting commentary imo and very nuanced which is a rare thing.
