  • I’m still on the starter ship so no combat yet.
    I once managed to find a missile launcher that would fit into its specs, but for some reason, was unable to shoot it, so no idea if it was me not understanding the controls or that I missed some parameter (I had replaced the battery with supercapacitors to make space for the launcher), but again, no combat.
    That was my first session. I played ~9hrs.

    In my second session, I opened the main screen and instead of starting the game, I kept on staring at the compass icon for a while, imagining stuff. Then I quit the game and made this.
    ~12 hrs (I’m not regular at blender, so had to re-look for all UI stuff)

    Yeah, everyone (every-app) thinks they are special and deserve a “.place” in ~ because : <enter their reason>.

    • ssh because “I’m SSH!”, similar for gpg
    • npm because “I’m a package manager”
    • dillo because “I am old and can’t be bothered to update my dirs”
      • I guess I should send them a patch. It shouldn’t be too hard to make that little change.
    • fltk same as dillo maybe
    • .mozilla : “Oh but I AM special”
    • .bundle : There is literally only 1 subdir in it and it is named “cache”. they could have just done “~/.cache/bundle” instead

    IDK why you have a .kde in your screenshot. Debian maybe, or a dir remaining from KDE4? I had an old one remaining in Debain after I upgraded.


    • .config
    • .local
    • .cache

    These are what we need to stuff everything into.




  • not charged for pre-existing damage

    Tech seems fine. I just won’t expect that statement to be true.

    The only way the customer has, to know if the damage was pre-existing, is to have their own machine to check it while receiving it, because for a company charging that high for a small amount of damage, I won’t expect them to actually try being fair with properly checking for pre-existing damage on checkout.

    Then considering how the amount is significantly greater than what it would take to fix it, the employees might as well be adding minor amounts of damage themselves before scanning it.














  • “just turn it off lol”

    Yeah, that’s probably just people who read the initial comments from back when secure boot keys were not user configurable (and support wasn’t available in Linux) and kept on echoing it all the way to the present.

    Kinda similar to the “Linux is just secure” echoers, who might have started from some proper argument explaining what kinds of security problems don’t exist in systems developed using Linux and why they don’t require installing a 24/7 antivirus background process. Because people tend to make catchphrases. I too sometimes, forget the implications and tend to make them.
