Right, but it might still have to be you paying, insurance or no.

It might be that you HAD to be the one to pay for it. When I hit a certain age, all the insurance cheques were made out to me, and I had to deposit them and transfer the money to my parents.

(Though this was insurance for therapy, so maybe it’s different?)

My strategy is to add updates to an hourly cronjob, and curse profusely when it downloads a bad update.

Hbomberguy, in response to Ben Shapiro talking about coastal flooding in this vid (yeah yeah youtube sucks, it’s where he posts) https://youtu.be/RLqXkYrdmjY?si=4NqX0czakOD5XOxs

It’s the little things. One of my biggest gripes is that EVERY TIME you run apt update, it shoves an add for Ubuntu pro at the bottom of tge output, which shoves all the info I actually care about offscreen. Pure bullshit. It sounds small, but when I need to check which packages are getting updated, it makes my life a bit more inconvenient. And I do most things through CLI, so I see this a lot.

Shit like that has been my entire experience with Ubuntu. I deeply regret switching to it, and I’m switching off as soon as I can get another hard drive to swap in.

Plus, who are you supposed to sell your house to? Fucking aquaman?

Foot with tmux is my goto.

Ubuntu the last day I have no one had to manage little thing

I mean, makes sense given the cocaine. There’s an entire book he has no me.lry of writing because he was just doing a shit ton of cocaine.

Automachef is the most unique factory game I’ve ever played. You make factories to handle food orders, try to reuse as many parts as possible to save cost, figure out how to handle massive rush hour mobs without burning too much power or dropping orders, and so on.

Down the line, this game has its own coding language for controlling machines and handling orders. It’s got a puzzle campaign, and a whole contracts mode, all around a good time. You can make VERY tight factories, especially with late game tech.

I had the solution to the main game spoiled for me YEARS ago. I have the game sitting on an external hard drive, just waiting for my brain to forget.

I bought SoD a while ago, and while I dont regret it, its gotten worse and worse. I use a laptop for everything, gaming included. The game has gone from running at a steadyish 30 fps (which is totally fine and usable, I don’t understand high fps people) to being an unstable mess that maaaaaybe hits 20 fps if I stand still.

Even ignoring the gameplay issues, this game needs WORK.

Nexus is running Linux tests for their new mod manager RIGHT NOW. I believe its still limited to Stardew Valley for now while in alpha, but they’re making strides here! https://nexus-mods.github.io/NexusMods.App/users/GettingStarted/

I respond to your estimates with the customary xkcd

Here’s a program I found my first day of using linux. It fixes your last point entirely.

On Kubuntu right now, but planning to switch to NixOS when I get a new laptop

AccuWeather wants to buy the NOAA network, so they can have a monopoly

That’s definitely true, but I think the problem ends up being that when you’re in the hole of depression, that kind of interpretation is against your current thought pattern. People say the latter as shorthand for the former, but when depressed that shorthand breaks down because the stupid fucking depression gets in the way and just says “yeah, but you can’t cheer up no matter what, because you’re depressed.”

It’s ridiculous cyclical logic, but it seems perfectly fine unless directly contradicting by someone else being very blunt (like with the more detailed example you gave)
