Indeed it is! That is why we are blessed to have its power obscured by an incomprehensible CLI, aside from a few most common use cases. Still very worth it though.

If you work a lot with plain-text files (markdowns, office documents CSV etc.) try learning Git. It is a version control tool - it keeps timestamped versions of your documents, so if you edit something wrong, or delete a wrong file you can bring it back by “checking out” a previous version.

It’s a software development tool originally, so learning it might be daunting for a lot of folks - fear not, download a graphical Git client app and look up some tutorials.

I promise once you get the hang of it, it will be hard to imagine doing anything without it.

One of those tools I wish were more popular among people who are not into software/engineering.

Uncharted, especially the final installment. On normal and higher difficulty dealing with the enemies becomes a bit of a chore: they force you to hide a lot, as well as waste entire clips of ammo on a single guy. On easy the game becomes forgiving enough food you too start pulling off cool stunts: swinging on ropes, shooting during a climb/jump, etc.

It’s just more fun on easy.

My first encounter with Linux was in 2007, I installed Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon on my dad’s computer out of curiosity - I was intrigued by a notion of free OS you can deeply customize.

I have spent countless hours fiddling with the system, mostly ricing (Compiz Fusion totally blew my mind) and checking out FOSS games.

Decades later I switched to Linux full-time. After 12 years of daily driving OS X and working as a developer, I wanted a customizable and lean OS that is easy to maintain and control. Chose Arch, then Nix, havent looked back ever since.

TIL, thank you!

As a fan of HR and MD, I have the original purchased on GOG, but I’ve never played it. Are there any quality of life mods I should know before I drive in?

Don’t forget that it only takes more than 35 degrees Celsius of wet bulb to kill any human in ~6 hours of exposure.

Once air reaches certain humidity levels during a heat wave, it becomes impossible for us to effectively cool down - the sweat simply won’t evaporate from our skin.

Stay safe, harass your local politicians, advocate and for and demand climate action, eat the rich.

Try harder!

It’s okay, Elon, we all know you try the hardest.

The future’s wasteland will be covered by bodies of web stalkers who were naive enough to get tricked by mid-2010s shitposts.

“Turns out they never used this to make their metal cutlery darker - who would have thought the ancients were so casually cruel?”

“After months of research we have concluded, that despite all their technical achievements, the ancients never figured out, what does the fox say”

“Today prof. Drobyshevsky is going to tell us about their newest work in XXI cent. anthropology - what is ‘streamer dent’ and why do we have such long heads 2300 years later?”

Check out Typst (a newer TeX-like layout engine) if you have time, I’m interested in your opinion. I find it a bit simpler to use than TeX.

Oh sorry, I was too focused on calling out the silliness of the idea.

Why on Earth would you curse yourself with MS Office anyway, especially if writing docs is your professional responsibility?

Why not use Git+Markdown+Pandoc, have your copy, data and layout separate?

I understand that a lot of istitutions/companies impose stylistic/technical requirements for docs and publications, - still doesn’t mean you gotta stay married to the worst tooling.

Despite whatever your lead/manager says, there is always an option to nuke it from low orbit and start over.

As a programmer, I concur. I sit on my arse all day pushing keys , anybody can do that.

Hey what if my software is paid, but you can purchase it for N money or more, with an input field?

Because that I’ve seen a lot, and it sounds suspiciously like what you’re describing, yet completely normal.

Edited for grammar

Please elaborate, I’ve been interested in this for awhile - what do you use/recommend for someone who’s new?

Hey this one looks exactly like what I expected to get, thanks!

Gyro has been present in Sony controllers since Dualshock 3. All of the Nintendo controllers I ever used had it. Steam deck has it. I honestly assumed it is a standard feature.
