Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters still have the best planetary scale and seamless landings of any sci-fi space ship sim with interplanetary travel. Flight of Nova does it better but that’s only one planet. Frontier has like four billion.

literally 1984

the bonnet is the hood, though, right? the british term, using the same rule as frunk, should be “froot”.

of course.

dishwasher. it uses way less water than even filling the sink once. it obviously uses more electricity than doing it by hand though. you gotta think about the value of the time saved as well.

as i said, flimsy numbers.

what interests me with gabe’s comments at the time is that he didn’t have the same complaints as the “normal users”. he didn’t comment on the UI basically at all, which makes sense because steam’s ten-foot interface released about the same time as metro. the ui was never the main problem with W8, it was the vendor lock-in that came from the microsoft store.

hell yeah

i don’t know if it still does it but it would, without fail, translate the expression “sagan om _” (the story of _) to “the lord of _”. no cookie for guessing why.

okay, but the version of sudo everyone uses is over 130 000 lines of C.

distrowatch puts debian at number 4 or 5 consistently in its popularity graphs. which is also a rather flimsy number, but it’s something.

debian is one of the most common distros

alpine doesn’t have sudo. hell, neither does debian, by default

why try to recreate the bloat of sudo when doas exists?

if both are installed, yes. endeavourOS removed Xorg when wayland was added.

i adore this web design

manjaro really is a trap.

i went mint, debian, opensuse, manjaro, endeavour, aeon. my hacker aspirations were tempered by permanently breaking my awesomewm configuration.

do not track was a “pweeease mister serwer uwu”-sorta move. there was no legal basis for it, and there was no technical backing. it would have been simple easy for browsers to just not send stuff that can be tracked (just check the eff panopticon site for how much superfluous stuff is just sent by the browser with every request), but instead the industry opted for the easier “here’s all my stuff just as it was, and a little note that says ‘don’t look’”. do not track was always a joke.

when endeavour switched over to wayland my session just completely stopped working. couldn’t get past the login screen. had to reinstall xorg from tty. not touching that again until i get new hardware.
