I usually miss the tiny text that says “includes a side” and then I panic when I need to make a decision while the waiter lists off all 14 sides including something incomprehensible like “Tato Dunklets” and I have to ask them what that is even though everyone else knows that’s what the place is known for and now I’m the idiot that is taking forever to order and keeping everyone from their dunklets or whatever.

When I was a kid I used to say to my dad “Dad” and he would go “Yes sir Michael Caine” and I would just open my mouth and point in it and wait for him to pour beans in there.

Normies wouldn’t know what to do with winget anyway. Somehow installing random executables downloaded from a browser is still considered ‘easier’ than using a package manager.

I like the fan theory that they aren’t aliens at all, they are demons. The broadcast at the end that reveals their vulnerability is cut off and nothing ever definitively points to them being extraterrestrial. In this theory they aren’t weak to water itself, but holy water which had been inadvertently blessed by the dad who used to be a priest (a bit of a stretch but if I remember right I think we see him mouthing a prayer at one point).

I don’t think that was the intent but if you rewatch the movie with this in mind it’s a pretty interesting way of explaining some inconsistencies in the film.

Winget is still playing catch-up in my experience. Microsoft’s own office365 winget package is broken constantly.

The fact that industrial and commercial use pays lower rates than people trying to live their lives and heat their home is such bullshit.

Seeing how much they’ve advanced over recent years I can’t imagine whatever that guy was working on would actually impress anyone today.

I just set up a rule on my firewall to disallow outgoing web traffic from my TV so I can still control it over the wifi. Then if I want to sell it I haven’t broken any functionality.

Bazzite is immutable but uses rpm-ostree which means you can install basically any yum/dnf system packages and have them persist. It should be used sparingly but it’s much more flexible than SteamOS because of it. I customize my own Bazzite-Gnome image to layer in a few packages but I’d consider that pretty advanced.

I assume it’s because they are using performance capture for all the facial animations.

You can do anything…

We can’t let the anti-trans black mold win.

I played the demo and it was pretty fun. I’ll have to check this out.

People need to just participate in adolescent nonsense and develop some trauma, trust issues, or kink like the rest of us.

Oof. Yeah when storing encryption keys for backup media it’s also important to remember to store the key in a place that is accessible when your services are down (like they could be at the time you’re needing to restore a backup).

I’ve definitely screwed up and realized that a key I needed was stored in a credential database that was stored on the encrypted backup I was trying to restore. I was able to access another copy but it slowed me down.

Beware the Melonwasp.

At least on Android, spoofing GPS location is trivial (not that workarounds like this should be necessary).

I write a lot of dry boring technical documentation and I try to sneak in jokes whenever possible and I get a lot of comments sometimes even years later when someone inevitably has need for it.

Gotta keep sane somehow.

It basically does and yeah it basically does.

God asking everyone to only @me for something really important and then having to mute notifications really makes a lot of sense overall.
