In this context the use of “they” is just proper English though. I can’t fault someone who speaks a gendered language from using gendered pronouns as is proper in that language, but the use of “they” in English is correct and hardly political or exclusive. Every language is going to have rules that may be strange to non-native speakers, but any “confusion” is easily remedied by explaining that’s just how the language works. I find that’s also part of the fun of learning another language. I especially love trying to mix the rules of one language into another to see how silly it sounds. :)

Found them!

Yup! I don’t have a PS5 but I’d have already bought it on Steam if it was out. Now since I have to wait anyway, I’ll probably just wait for it to go on sale since the hype is gone.

Because Bethesda isn’t being cut out of anything. You still need to buy the original game to use mods. And most mods are made using the official modding tools that Bethesda released (Creation Kit).

Don’t be biased except for these biases.

I’m curious about this too. I also bought the coffee sock to try and reduce waste. I took the advice of the fellow at the shop to keep it in water between use and boil it once per week. My water consumption was way up and I still couldn’t keep it clean. The first few cups were fantastic but eventually the flavour of old oils comes through and I haven’t found a way to get rid of it.

Now I just use paper that gets tossed into the compost. Maybe this is more environmentally friendly?

Lol, after both steal every image on the internet.

No wonder the images look similar.

I can’t believe this is the first I’m hearing about this. Tribes is one of my favourite games! I hope this one is good.

I’ve never heard of Skiff, but it’s sad to see more software gobbled up by VCs. Though it sounds like the back end was never OSS to begin with?

I used to be so excited about a future where people were software literate where we would be building open systems and make a decent living. Instead, people have been force fed locked down systems in the name of “user experience”, all so that a few people can make an absolute killing while the rest of us feed off the scraps (even if the scraps of the software industry are still pretty good). It just makes me sad.

I am extremely appreciative of folks who do make honest open source software though! Many of them do make a decent living too. It’s hard not to lose hope when reading stuff like this, but then I remember that I’m typing this comment using Firefox on KDE Plasma running on a Linux kernel, right next to an Emacs session. Sticking to good open source software is a wonderful thing!

I’ve started using btop to kill processes instead of the ps, grep, kill incantation.

Yes it seems that sometimes you can’t stop an enemy attack. I wonder if that’s by design.

The game certainly isn’t as good as Chrono Trigger, but I’m enjoying it as a nice tribute.

Nice to see someone else who’s favourite game is Chrono Trigger!

Ever play Sea of Stars?

Beatings will continue until morale improves

Startrekers, Inc.

Totally!

I hit burnout an now “productivity” is a dirty word. I’ve discovered that it is healthy to take time for yourself, even if it is to literally do nothing.

Programming is both my career and hobby, but I’ve had to adjust my free time to allow my mind to just let go a bit more often.

Came here to say exactly this.

I’d trust the piracy sites more actually. We don’t voluntarily give them our credit card and address.

The Steam Deck is the full package that not only integrates the hardware and software, but is also an open system. Slapping a some inputs together onto a windows PC just isn’t the same thing.
