This is something that bugs me too. Its not completely broken but there are a lot of small issues assuming you can even get the game to run at all

Nice!

Time for some Tribes or Heroes of Might and Magic.

Yup! I don’t have a PS5 but I’d have already bought it on Steam if it was out. Now since I have to wait anyway, I’ll probably just wait for it to go on sale since the hype is gone.

Probably! According to Wikipedia you get 3-5 hours off of 6 AA batteries. Not sure how that changes with the TV tuner but battery life wasn’t great.

Because Bethesda isn’t being cut out of anything. You still need to buy the original game to use mods. And most mods are made using the official modding tools that Bethesda released (Creation Kit).

Looks like something from HP’s lab.

Zellij is fantastic! I’ve had it installed on all my machines for a while now and it works great.

The best part is that the UI is discoverable and pretty intuitive. I no longer have to look up the seldom used tmux key chords I could never remember.

Yup! Also languages in the ML family and others I’m sure.

Nope. In Rust, a semicolon denotes a statement while a lack of semicolon is an expression so you can’t just omit them at will. This does lead to cool things though like if/else blocks being able to produce values if they end in an expression. But the expression type is checked so you’re less likely to make a mistake. You can see an example here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/flow_control/if_else.html

In JavaScript I never skip semicolons because I’ve seen those subtle bugs.

Yeah, semicolons are ugly anyway and they’d ruin the beautiful expression of your code.

That game was amazing!

How did you get the Dreamcast connected to a server?

I can’t believe this is the first I’m hearing about this. Tribes is one of my favourite games! I hope this one is good.

I’m curious what you use it for. I use Ivy and it had good fuzzy matching.

Sega Dreamcast. It had and IMO still has some of the most unique games ever. Crazy Taxi, Powerstone, Jet Set Radio, the list goes on!

It’s not actually open source (yet), and some AI bullshit. Hard nope from me.

I really don’t get it though. Most of the time I run the same few command. cd and ls a bunch, SSH to some servers, docker-compose up, invoke a build script, pacman -Syyu, and the occasional grep. Maybe I’ll curl if I’m feeling feisty.

For the times I do need to do something more complicated, I guess chatgpt might help, but I don’t need it fully integrated into an always online terminal that I have to log into and pay for.

Taking your data to flavortown!

Now chew box.

"The global video game business is big but barely growing, Spencer noted to me. One measure, from industry research firm Newzoo, estimates that 2023 game industry revenues were up just 0.6% from 2022. "

So still growth and a little bit more revenue. Total justification for mass layoffs. 🙄

I don’t use Flatpak much, but I rarely see issues. Sometimes I see minor things like themes not quite being right, but its never been bad enough for me to spend the time to fix it.

I suppose another downside is the need to have the base runtime packages, so it could take more disk space if each app uses a different one. In practice apps will share runtimes though.
