Huh. I actually had to look this up, and you’re right; they are largely monogamous and share parenting responsibilities.

My sincerest apologies. Say hi to them when you get home.

Apologies for the very personal question, but were you homeschooled by a pigeon?

Hello, fellow old person 🤝

They have been pretty good on popular technologies like python & web development.

I tried to do Kotlin for Android, and they kept tripping over themselves; it’s hilarious and frustrating at the same time.

Also turn off the adblocker at some point. Kids gotta learn what’s an ad and what’s not.

And install Windows while you’re at it. Ransomware builds character.

The chronic pain relief by itself was enough to keep me motivated. Asthma, joint pains (hypermobility sucks!), etc are now down to manageable levels – if not completely gone.

And yeah, I don’t enjoy it and sometimes look for excuses to slack off. And right on cue, my knee pain starts flaring up after a couple weeks. Followed by the rest of the body.

On unfamiliar machines, I just faceroll over the function keys hoping to hit the right one…

Haha honestly I have no idea. I live near a train station so not a lot of opportunity to catch either taxis or uber…

Depends on where you are. In Australia most taxi companies have an app that works like uber. Shows you the route and a fixed price. And when a driver picks up your fare, it’ll show you where they are.

Triple, even. Boxer: Sportsperson, container, and dog.

It’s hilarious that you literally have to make a deal with the Devil for this.

SPAAACE!!

Why yes. I want my beef *checks notes* beautiful. And strong.

Or, you know, ImageMagick…

ESRB

Sssh. Don’t let PEGI hear you.

I don’t want to wait another 10 years to hit 50 and be old enough to finally play Balatro.

Ooh hey, my teenage cartoons!

*checks year of release

Okay, where’s that meme about getting run over by the old age truck?

Edit: I’m gonna add CatDog, Angry Beavers, Jimmy Neutron, and Johnny Bravo from around the same era. Also, how could we forget SpongeBob?

the latter I do not trust.

Am I reading the article wrong? Is it not a good thing that they refused to comply with the hostile anti-encryption law?

I’m not disagreeing, but Steam went out of their way to support Linux because they needed to, when they first dipped their toes in selling hardware (Steam Machine, circa 2013 I think).

GOG had no incentive to do so when Linux gaming was such a small slice of their pie. And now that it’s growing fast, they still have no incentive to do so, because third parties are already doing the work for them.

At the end of the day, we gamers are still the beneficiaries of the immense effort of CDPR, Valve, and the whole open source community.

The user figures are strongly impacted by the closing of Microsoft’s acquisition of gaming giant Activision Blizzard

I was sceptical of the 500m figure for Xbox (even if we include Xbox on Windows); but it makes sense if they include Battle.net figures I guess…

just worlds to run around in

Which, ironically, was why I only played the main quest in Starfield vanilla. Running around empty, boring planets, with copy-pasted dungeons (there’s only, what, 10 varieties?), felt like nothing but a colossal waste of time.

So glad I didn’t pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).
