  • Adam Something does fun videos where he picks apart techbro innovations and points out that what they are suggesting as new future transport tech is nearly always slower, more expensive, and with less capacity than a train. he has particular distaste for Musk and his projects.

    just like all evolution trends towards crabs, all techbro innovation trends towards trains

  • Bugfixes are great, I care less about adding new graphic upgrades. I care a lot about them releasing more robust mod tools.

    I want to be able to edit the world and new areas and content more than have the graphics modernized with cutting edge tech.

  • Oh not as long as original Dwarf Fortress, that's for sure!

    I had a friend who has some experience explain how to navigate the interface, and generally what each resource does, and after an hour or two of fussing about I got used to it. Some times I will misclick, because right click is sometimes "go back" and sometimes "show more detail" but aside from that its easy enough.

    The core mechanics are very easy. Conquer provinces to increase your domain, build stacks of units to fight battle and test different strategies for what works against what.

    I can go into more detail if you like?

  • I'm getting into the Dominions series, recently picked up Dominions 6. You take control of a faction and try to spread your pretender gods influence enough to ascend to be the one true god. Combat is auto resolved but you can watch the combats and the mechanics are very detailed. I made a god that was a sentient glyph that bestowed fire resistance and flaming weapons on my faction of desert dwelling spider riders. Another time I was a sentient fountain of blood with innate abilities to raise an army of mindless skeletons so I could stack troops in masse.

    Its a little clunky in the interface but once I learned what did what it because very engrossing

  • It would remove the Latin language packas well because its specifying the --no-preserve-root flag.

    Actually I'd worry that it might purge language all the way back to Indo-European, but if it means getting rid of French, its a risk I'm willing to take.

  • Ive just started in a government IT role; everything is windows, I use windows myself at home for games, but run WSL for hobby dev, home server management and stuff like that.

    This is my first sysadmin role, having come from a Dev background, and administration on windows feels like such a chore. Everything takes ten steps to do, lots of issues, and feels very counter intuitive. I am not enjoying it at all. I suppose actual large scale Linux adminning probably has the same issues and I'm putting it down to lack of experience, but there's so many small niggly issues that I know I could solve if this was a Linux environment that I can't due to how windows is set up.

    I'm hopefully getting to move into a more hybrid dev/admin role for some web stuff, but I firs thave to convince my boss to let me install WSL so O can have a sane dev environment for web dev.

  • I mean, I dont disagree that the concept is insanely idiotic but all they've done in the purge is take the concept of a pogrom and applied it to modern day america. The premise isn't that rediculous. It has happened, in real life. Yeah they've leaned into it, and dialed up the crazy fevor a bit, but its not so removed from real life accounts of pogroms.

  • I suppose it can't build up enough speed by going in direct line out of the solar system as the falloff would mean there's not enough "runway" so to speak. But I wonder if you could circle the sun and "tack" like a ship does sailing into the wind and build up more momentum that way?

  • This is super useful, I was thinking about writing something similar myself recently. Thanks for sharing! Being able to scribe the acfou t clean and start over is very useful. I have 900+ subscriptions that I guess just built up over time. Too many to manually work through and remove the ones I actually dont watch.

  • I had seen the hate before and foolishly just assumed he was deserving of it. Its a horrible situation he's in and he is being cast in a bad light because he reached out for help.
