How dare you throw shade at my Great Lakes Avengers! lol.

A dozen, a hundred…? It’s impossible to resist.

yoCcM has other problems, beyond Kirk’s self conscious fears.

If I had a nickel for every time that happened! Well…I guess I would have ten cents. But you have to admit, it’s weird that it happened twice.

“I was going to enjoy some shore leave, but these terrorists attacked, and now I’m stuck in the Jeffrey’s Tubes doing a Die Hard. I’ve never even seen the historical drama it is named after!”

Brief off-topic aside: This recurring thread has been a bright spot, for me, in a sad Internet, this year. Thank you.

As for what I’m playing - mostly Palworld. The late game has allowed me to try to breed perfect pals while getting as deep as I like into farm management and interior decorating. It’s been very fun. Well worth the sticker price.

Anything you do on USPS also goes to Google.

Opening a PO Box in person should avoid this issue.

Post Office Boxes are the solution.

Doesn’t outlook support imap?

Officially, it can. Many organizations turn IMAP off “for security reasons.”

Edit: Microsoft routinely turns off features for security reasons, so this comment may age poorly, if not already.

It really depends how much one reads into David Bowie’s performance…

I’m so tired of “Ai big number” headlines. 100+ packages - but how many good ones? (Genuinely, I don’t know, as I don’t the recognize those listed.)

We need projects that diligently keep the slop out. We don’t need every protect to do so, but it is critical that some do.

We have Meta and Microsoft to provide quick-to-market low quality shit.

The version of Linux that matters is the slow thoughtful good software.

I’m not mad at slop slingers, aa long as they don’t secretly inject slop risk where not welcome.

Edit: Thanks for responses.

For anyone who has read this far, I encourage seeing responses below for informative and nuanced thoughts on this.

“I think that’s our airlock, Scotty. Our approach feels fast?! Oh. There it went.”

“Okay. Yes, let’s enjoy a nice sweeping panoramic pass.”

“Thank you, Mr. Scott. Now let’s go brief those crew all lined up at… we missed the airlock again, Mr Scott.”

“Shall we double back?”

…

“Right. After another sweeping panoramic pass. Of course. No, it’s fine. I can cut my speech shorter.”

“THIS is Ceti Alpha V!”

I think Warframe is the only (non-open source) free to play game I have nice things to say about.

I never felt any pressure to pay, but every few months of playing and I would think, “I feel like I should chip these folks some cash, again”.

And then they do make it fun to chuck them some money.

Most of the purchasables may as well just say “trust us, it’s fun”, for all I understood any of them before buying. (I think I bought maybe 4 frames while playing for about a year.)

After playing for awhile, I do trust them. I’ve not been disappointed with any purchased frame or item - with the understanding that both are pretty much just amusing “thank you” gimmicks for supporting.

Warframe has been a good time. I sort of expect it to enshitify at any moment, but for now they seem chill.

The butler, his explanations convoluted.

That’s such bullshit.

For anyone affected, don’t wait. Get yourself F-Droid, and you can have Luanti immediately after.

I run Linux at a workplace that is mostly Windows and some Mac.

Nobody notices or cares.

Everything I need runs in a browser now.

But why does everyone bring up AutoCAD? Lemmy seems to be full of AutoCAD professionals.

I sling code and documents. Linux is better for code and uses Office 365 as well as any other OS.

That guy is clearly an expert.

Like the bab5 scene where Londo sings the Hokey Pokey and gets irate because it’s a totally mid-tier song that 'everybody" knows.

“…and then they put their left hand out! They’ve undone their previous progress! It makes no sense!”

It’s a great rant. Now I need a Babylon 5 rewatch. Thanks!

Yes. Enterprise was canceled just as it found it’s stride.
