I use it to parse log files, compare logs from successful and failed requests and that sort of stuff.

Whenever I ask random people who are not on IT, they either don’t know about it or they love it.

It is used in combination with Google. You ask ChatGPT what to Google for.

You probably just forgot about all the bad music you used to listen to and now compares all the new stuff to the best from your time.

And it was just a big coincidence that Epic removed Linux support exactly when the Steam Deck got announced…

I think it still counts, due to all the work they did on the software side.

There are many different ways to define “stable”. Linux is better in some, windows might be better in others.

Sadly I can’t think of many examples for things like this in my own life. I can trace some of my work habits back to past coworkers, but when it comes to taste and habits from my personal life, most of it comes from me trying things on my own.

Coming back after a week to share what I thought of it:

• I loved the app itself and all the different ways to input values

• the different game modes are quite creative

• all the extra restrictions added by the different game modes make the puzzles a bit too easy for my taste

• miracle mode is fun until you get a few numbers in, but then it becomes quite straight forward again.

• all of the puzzles (at least as far as I played) follow the same pattern and when you notice it you can skip the whole sudoku part and answer it just by pattern recognition.

Linux users to Windows users with a question: “you can solve that by switching to Linux”

Linux users to that same user when they switch to Linux and have a question: “why the fuck do you wanna do that? Go back to Windows.”

Just keep in mind that there are some very different options within the Linux world and different people here will push you towards different options. The two most common and most different options are Bazzite and Mint.

While both of them can definitely work well, in my experience Mint still leaves a lot of new users unsatisfied with it. I’m yet to see any windows user complain about Bazzite, so that’s my recommendation.

Either way if you try one and it doesn’t live up to your expectations, there’s still a chance the other might.

There’s basically two things:

• the Pope can make no mistake when talking on behalf of the whole church;
• the Pope is assisted by the holy spirit when interpreting the word of God

10 introduced a bunch of cool stuff that made it seem like it was going places: WSL, the new terminal, multiple desktops. If you’re able to ignore the sad state of the control panel and settings apps, 10 was peak windows experience (feature-wise).

Then 11 came around and fucked everything up. As someone who subscribed to MS Insider to run beta builds of windows and get updates earlier, win 11 was the first iteration that really felt like there was just no upside to it. It was exactly the same as win10, but with some features removed and a much heavier hardware requirement. Even Vista (microsoft’s most successful OS) had some cool stuff going for it back in the day, but win11 was nothing but one disappointment after another. Shit it wouldn’t even let you keep a clock on the second screen until like a year after release.

I wouldn’t say it’s nothing. It’s a lot less meaningful that it used to be but it can still be effective. Whoever killed that CEO last year only needed a basic gun and they managed to make America slightly better with it.

It does happen, but it’s once in a blue moon and not something that can keep a whole business model going.

Not exactly the same, but similar: when working with sprites for games, I often run into situations where I realize way too late that I need the size of each frame to be slightly larger than what I had been working with it. You’d think that having the ability to resize an image by adding extra padding to each individual frame would be a pretty common feature in image editing software these days, but nope. I ended up writing a small tool specifically for that just so I wouldn’t have to adjust frame by frame ever again.

Portuguese, English, Japanese, German and in a good day, Spanish.

Portuguese is native; English and Japanese I learned from consuming content in those languages; German comes from my family (though I recently started studying it too). And Spanish because it’s very similar to Portuguese so I just need to remember the differences.

It’s like in anime when the characters use some “forbidden technique” that steals 10 years of their life span, then the anime ends with the character still growing old well enough.

I’ll trust you and pick it up.

I dare say that all of the main FOSS chat systems are better than any of the proprietary ones.
