More than half of the people alive in Palestine were too young to vote in their last election.

Back in my day, MS-DOS let you use HELP on QBASIC commands.

Skyrim’s default UI sucks, and mods make it better. I’m hoping the same for Starfield.

This is from the same company that coded the behaviour into Teams such that if I take a deliberate action to hide the meeting window, it pops up a smaller on-top window. But if I just click another window (potentially on accident), it does not.

But your whiny and lazy ass is better?

D-brand could make a LTT screwdriver wrap so that people can cover the logo, instead of dremelling it off.

“I could be killed today” job?

Pizza delivery has a higher fatality rate than being a cop.

Sometimes it’s as simple as something like “firefox doesn’t support import maps”, but now they do (in 108+) but nobody has the time or inclination to go back and validate that the site now works in firefox.

What’s extra stupid about these, is most of the time just using a user agent switcher to make the site think you’re on chrome or opera makes it work just fine.

I am on chapter 907. According to the Royal Road page estimate, that’s over 10,000 paperback book pages equivalent. It’s a helluva ride, and the price can’t be beat.

Vuxten appears around chapter 50, iirc. He’s not the first to recur, but he is a fan favourite.

I tend to read it in bursts. I catch up about once every 3 months.

First Contact by Ralts Bloodthorne (no relation)

Eight Thousand Years after the Glassing of Earth, Terran Descent Humanity has largely become a post-scarcity society based on consent and enjoying life. With the discovery of another ancient race beyond the "Great Gulf", events and history collide to draw the Terran Confederacy into war against a hundred million year old empire that has always won and believes it always will. With allies and enemies of multiple species, the Orion Galactic Arm Spur will be wracked by warfare the likes of which have not been seen. Cracked, harried, wounded, and damaged, Terran Descent Humanity willfully throws itself against the universe itself.

"The universe hates you and will take away everything you love, laughing while it does so." - Terran belief.

Hey, my bread dinner almost always has butter on it. Sometimes I even fold it in half with a slice of cheese in the middle. Then again, some days I just say fuck it and just eat the cheese slice.

No shit. I’m saying the tools I had to make myself should come standard instead of wasting dev time on command line bullshit.

Making a little program that opens a window with some buttons to pin to my taskbar is infinitely easier than digging out docs and copy pasting into a command line every time I need to do anything. Paste the command once, done. It’s like 10 lines of code, plus about 3-4 for each command I add. Maybe drag the window a bit bigger when I add the button.

I’m anti everything that requires daily use of arcane command line bullshit. I thought we were on the way to being over that when Windows 3.1 came out.

If it needs to be done more than once, make it a button on a little program. I’ve rolled my own for any of them that can be triggered from the windows command line. But Docker and others that require their own unique command line I can’t do that. I wouldn’t be as annoyed by Docker if Docker Desktop just did all the crap it should instead of requiring command line bullshit every damn day.

I really want to make a “closed as duplicate” joke about yet another billionaire being stupid and tanking their site.

And to stop it from guessing what it thinks you really meant, change it to “Verbatim” search mode under the Tools button, bottom right below the search bar.

Siralim Ultimate on the deck while my daughter is awake, Fortresscraft Evolved on the pc when she’s asleep.

You can use it offline as long as you load it up before going offline.

Photopea runs completely in your device, just like Sketch or Photoshop do. It does not upload any of your files to the internet. You can load Photopea.com, disconnect from the internet and keep using it completely offline. None of your files ever leaves your computer.

Does using a spare tire to get to the tire store also seem short sighted to you?
