I still regularly think about Enema Bag Jones.

The first decision has to be vim/emacs.

There’s a death star on the other side of the fence.

Or to copy something and modify it 30 times.

This seems like a very bad idea. I think we just need more lisp and less AI.

I was a pretty experienced programmer when I first read SICP, but I still found it incredibly valuable. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I had pretty much the same experience finding the virtual memory settings on a win11 machine the other day. Same 20 year old dialog, now buried 5 more layers deep.

It’s actually possible in a way:

But you necessarily need to limit the devices and operating systems that are allowed. No custom ROMs, no root access, etc.

It’s bullshit and breaks open computing as a concept.

I don’t disagree exactly, but I’d argue that you’re contributing to the project even if you’re just reporting bugs or helping others with it on e.g. Lemmy.

I could see avoiding all of that pragmatically in order to use some obscure, critical software, but not something you use every day and for which there are reasonable alternatives.

It’s buckets of people that had those different lead levels, so it adds up to everyone.

It’s kind of absurd. When you buy a TV, the bloated adware at least helps lower the price. Imagine paying extra for it.

I always would. The only time it becomes a bit ambiguous is if there are two turn lanes, e.g. you’re turning left from the second-to-left lane. In that case I’d usually indicate later, maybe when I’ve stopped or the white line is solid, so it’s clear I’m not trying to change lanes.

I’m probably over thinking it.

If it makes a sound you don’t recognise, use the gun.

If you didn’t cheat that’s actually pretty impressive.

Probably not what you’re looking for, but it just occured to me that Ted Lasso might be the closest modern show to this sort of cosy/wholesome British sitcom.

Also if you want something really on the nose, I seem to remember enjoying Rev:

Edit: bonus recommendation for The Royle Family

Literally any chatbot, probably

The only deal-breaker for me was that the android app doesn’t persist its play state, so if I pause and do other stuff on my phone, it usually loses its place.

There’s ‘finamp’ for jellyfin which I really like so far.

I haven’t used plexamp though, so I can’t vouch for it as an alternative.

now I’ve got more than enough new stuff every day to keep me entertained.

You mean horrified/nauseous right? Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

Is putting ‘open’ in front of something the equivalent of putting .com on the end in 1999?
