Probably because their government wants the people to feel anger towards Israel and the West in general. It makes it easier to mobilize them. They are preparing for a major conflict with the West and we are doing the same. We are all on the brink of a global war. Hopefully, it never comes to that. At a minimum, it’s looking like a Cold War with proxy wars and massive military buildup is ahead of us.

VSCodium, emacs, vim/neovim, helix.

Helix is pretty slick, but it’s not very extensible. Very easy to use and if the out of the box features are good enough for you then it’s a fine IDE.

Neovim is my preference unless I’m working with Jupyter notebooks, in which case I switch to vscodium. It’s a pain in the ass to set up. I took the easy way out with LazyVim. It’s fast to work with and I can use it for almost everything.

I dabbled with emacs many years ago. It’s like vim but completely different. You can make it do anything. Personally, I don’t care for the keyboard shortcuts. It’s probably easier to pick up than vim, but all the key chords and sequences are too much for me. In any case, anyone willing to look at vim should also take a look at emacs.

VSCodium is accessible and extensible. You can’t go wrong with this one. It can’t refactor like the Jetbrains stuff, but if there’s anything else it can’t do then I don’t know what it is. It’s a great IDE.

Really, any of these can do just about any job and do it very well. There’s no choice that clearly stands above the others. It really comes down to personal preference.

Umm… you can do that with Windows in a corporate environment.

Well, you could think of Microsoft as your distro. Generally, if they’re telling you to upgrade a driver, you should do it. At a minimum, everyone should be automatically installing security updates. This is one of the most important services an operating system vendor provides.

If you don’t trust them to do that or you don’t like their update frequency, maybe consider a different operating system. In the Linux world, we have some choices as far as release cadence and update policy. You can do rolling, 6 month, 2 year LTS, etc. Some are bleeding edge and others use “proven” software and remain very stable until the next major release.

Why not? We essentially have this in the Linux world and it’s great. You have a package manager that pulls from your distro’s repositories and it’s filled with all kinds of software, although most drivers come packaged with the kernel. Most stuff is completely plug and play. You end up with one click (or command) software installations for just about everything so you’re not hunting around the internet and downloading installers. Everything you need, including dependencies, gets pulled in and it stays up to date without every app bundling it’s own updater. It’s super convenient.

Where are all the maglev trains in non-capitalist countries? Sooner or later, in any system, someone has to do a cost benefit analysis and decide whether it’s worth it. It’s not just about profitability. There are plenty of situations in the US where something is unprofitable but still funded because the benefit is worth it.

It’s awful and it feels like it has gotten worse. FSD is the second worst purchase I have ever made, a hot tub being the first. We bought our Tesla and my wife loves it so we will have it for a while. The motors and batteries are excellent with Tesla, but everything else is mediocre at best. Without a doubt, it will be the last one we own if I have my way. Elon is a con man.

Wait, what? How does that work? I haven’t seen much of the game except trailers.

Throw him in the hole and don’t let him out. That’s secure.

I was in the same boat before Framework launched and ended up with a ThinkPad X1 Extreme.

It’s a solid machine - easy to upgrade the SSD and RAM, easy to repair, very good premium support available for an additional fee. I paid for the support and had to replace a touchpad that started acting weird. They were at my house within 24 hours and made the repair at my dining table. So much better than AppleCare.

The Linux support is great. Everything works. The build quality is good as far as pc laptops are concerned. Lots of USB ports, HDMI out, and an SD slot. That’s the next best thing to the customizable ports on the Framework. The battery is a little better than the Framework. Really can’t go wrong with either one.

Oh man. Me too. The player market and pvp were the best. I loved how there were battles to actually control territory. There were places you just couldn’t go unless you were covert. That game should have gotten so much more love back then.

Spam and bots like other people have said. Then there are the instances that get blocked because of the content and people there. Nazis, racists, trolls, etc. They were coming in from all over during the twitter migration. There was a blocklist on GitHub that was being updated pretty frequently.

Nice. I have that one on my wishlist. I’m not ready to start a new game so it’s on the back burner until the Steam sale.

Eh… To each their own. Reddit isn’t going away. Many of us may not go back, but there are people who will stay. As long as there’s a thriving community over here it’s all good.

I played long after release after a big patch. I knew the launch was a disaster but I hadn’t followed the game closely so I didn’t have huge expectations. I absolutely loved that game when I finally played.

I’m one of those game tourists who hardly ever finishes anything. I don’t have enough time to game so I’ll just drop a game if I’m not really into. Cyberpunk was one of the few games I’ve finished in recent years.

The gameplay was really satisfying, I enjoyed the story, and I loved the characters. There are a few you get to spend a lot of time with and I found myself actually caring about them. For me, it was reminiscent of how I felt playing Mass Effect. It’s one of my all time favorites for sure.

It’s definitely worth a play if it sounds like something you’d be interested in.

Does it work well with the controller or do you have to use the trackpads?

Love the Steam Deck. I’m able to play so much more than I did before. Currently playing Persona 5 Royal and I’m really enjoying it. I’ll be at it for a while so I don’t know what’s next. Maybe Octopath Traveler 2 or Persona 4 Golden.

No. Sites and communities come and go. Before Reddit, I was on slashdot and would occasionally use others like kuro5hin, fark, etc. Reddit had a lot more going on and was much better for comments when it came along. Then it got huge and only the small subs were any good for a sense of community or discussion. For a long time, it’s mostly been good for doom scrolling outside of some niche hobby subs. If anything, it’s kinda nice that some people are motivated to try other things like lemmy and kbin.

Same here. I bought a Tesla in 2019 and was foolish enough to pay for FSD. At the time, they were saying it would be available by the end of the year. They finally rolled out a “beta” a few months ago and it’s terrible. That’s after they had me on this bullshit robo-nanny software monitoring my driving.

The motors, battery, and charging infrastructure are great, but I would never buy another thing from Tesla as long as Elon Musk is involved with the company. He is a reprehensible troll and a dishonest businessman.

I tried it once a while back and the tutorial seemed pretty good. I was able to grasp things easier than some other paradox games. My biggest worry is I don’t have time to play consistently and I will forget too much between sessions. I never picked it up again because of that, but I keep looking at it and want to try again.
