I think this is fair. I’ve noticed a fair amount of new, and to me, nonsensical words and phrases in recent years. Perhaps the only thing that has changed is that I’m just older and out of touch. And that’s fine with me if that’s the case.
If this stuff sticks around and becomes part of the vernacular, I’ll adapt to it. If it’s just a current trend, then no need to.
Also slow for me.
Same. I would love to see a global societal shift towards viewing not having children as a perfectly normal thing to do.
My completely subjective and not at all data driven experience of how many I feel I heard this year as opposed to previous years is at least the same. Possibly more. Though I live in a fairly conservative area.
You are not alone in that.
I am but a single humble meatbag that enjoys games and can’t speak for all gamers, but I generally dislike the typical “gaming rig” aesthetic. I don’t want RGB lights. I don’t like ostentatious looking cases or accessories. I do find it tasteless, to reuse your term.
No sleight on those that do though. If that’s your style, then enjoy it!
The title got me curious of the current total brands. The article states it in the first sentence, but it’s 129.
I don’t speak from personal experience, but it’s my understanding you can do this with an active (as opposed to passive) ps2 to USB adapter. Should be compatible with pretty much any ps2 keyboard.
Referring to kids, quite aptly, as “post-campaign content” /chefskiss
I was able to retain time and money for gaming and other hobbies by having a vasectomy.

Tangential, but anyone passing by this comment and doesn’t like popcorn after working at a theater?
Whenever I see a bowl of popcorn it reminds me of that smell of popcorn and coke mixed together in a garbage can. It’s not so bad that I don’t eat it at all. But if I do, I have very little.
7 year old me also didn’t know about the L3 and R3 buttons. But this was the controller I had at the time so perhaps reasonable.
I love Linux. I read this rant. I still love Linux.
Missed opportunity!
Indeed it is!
I saw you did the art for the openbsd 7.7 release. Very cool!
Fine points. And I am considering that simplicity might be worth it. Except for:
Another fix might be moving towards software that doesn’t require the capacity to reverse updates frequently.
Totally solid advice, but I love my rolling release distro though. So for the time being I’m willing to accept the associated risk.
Your comment as well as @stupid_asshole69@hexbear.net were really food for thought for me. stupid_asshole69 advising against, and yours as a cautionary tale.
This would be a complex stack to accomplish my goal. It occurs to me that it’d be mdadm (raid 1) > LUKS > btrfs since btrfs can’t do encryption which is right in the middle of that stack, so I couldn’t use it’s raid 1 functionality. If any of those pieces break, all the protection they would have otherwise provided me goes out the window.
And I’m not really worried about losing data. I already backup my personal files and most of my configs. The appeal with this kind of setup is the data redundancy and fairly quick recovery. But a partition clone like what saved you also works pretty well for that purpose. I don’t know what I’ll do just yet, but definitely taking all that in to consideration.
I wasn’t familiar with timeshift so I took a look at it. My primary use case for snapshots is to take one before updates. So I can load from the snapshot if there’s issues. It doesn’t look like using it with ext4 would fulfill this use-case. But it looks like it also supports btrfs snapshots so could be useful as a UI to configure that.
I share a good number of these. I don’t like tomato, olives, or anything fishy tasting. I do like anise flavored things such as black licorice.
The remaining stuff our tastes differ on.
