Day ??? of hoping for a Steam release of all your classic Flash games with controller support so I can play Skywire and Hot Air on my Steam Deck

My personal daily driver is a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th generation. I paid $200 for it, it has a 1440p matte display, great keyboard, decent touchpad, and I'm running KDE Fedora spin on it with zero regrets whatsoever.

If you have a few bucks sitting around and the ongoing hype surrounding using Linux as a daily driver appeals to you I haven't seen a lot of people mentioning that some business-class laptops were available *brand new* with Linux on them, and as such will/should have flawless hardware support.

The last time Apple introduced a whole new look and feel for iOS/macOS was iOS7 and it was pretty rough on release so I have confidence this will look much, much better in two years. As it is there are just so many instances of questionable padding/alignments and the icon “outline” bothers me.

Probably thought he looked strong and in control

What's so unreliable about a subaru brz and a ford explorer?

Idk. My friends 2500 specifies 45 front 60 rear

Having all the stability you thought you had evaporate overnight along with your carefully orchestrated backup plan might actually break me

I had no idea I was a Sacco fanboy until he died and I first heard about him. Did some research, yup, when he stopped working at Mercedes is when I stopped liking their cars. Checks out.

Barris continuing to dodge the "makes good cars" allegations.

New shooter

I reinstalled Windows on a laptop after replacing the drive with an SSD and it was my first time ever using Windows 10 Home, which is a circle of hell all in itself. What an amazingly user-hostile operating system. Holy shit.

Piëch you say?

I’m gonna gatekeep leftism for a minute. If you identify with a leftist ideaology and voluntarily partake of, say, Harry Potter, the switch 2, chick fil a, etc then I consider your entire philosophical basis to be purely performative liberal bullshit. It’s so easy to just *not*.

There's a long lines tower in the Flint Hills not too far from my house. Super eerie, super cool.

Anyone out there in the Blueskyverse know where a fella could get a line on some cheap G2 Nissan Leaf battery cells? I need 19 of 'em.

GTC4Lusso (the previous generation was the Ferrari FF), moments away from shelling its front transmission and being dumped at auction.

Lord. I despise this era of American car so much. It photographs okayish but then you drive it and it's the cheapest shittiest vinyl and crappy plastics and awful fake wood and chrome flaking off of the chintzy window switches and everything rattles and disintegrates. Truly a horror show.

The other day I was hovering over the "import" dialog for Davinci Resolve and I noticed my mouse was influencing the Firefox window in the background. How does the windowing server even *do* that, lol. It's like the Z-depth buffer equiv was completely borked.

This thing flies. Got wifi and sound working, installed XFCE and Firefox and some networking utilities for SMB and whatnot. Core2Duo with 4GB RAM and my only real complaint with the usability is the screen is pretty low quality. However, it is blue.

Wtf is my luck with computers. My Macbook Pro on a regular basis will have mouse functionality break entirely. Can't right-click, hover works intermittently, clicking sometimes right-clicks, goes back to normal after a reboot. Meanwhile I installed Arch on a Core2Duo laptop successfully and it flies

How in the fresh hell is "a built in graphical file manager" not a THING with this damn software? And the versions you can add in are all unbelievably buggy and feature incomplete, especially with the distinction between drives and shares.

as much as I am not afraid of the terminal something about my mental state makes file management via terminal commands absolutely impossible to grok. Anyways I'm trying to offload stuff from my unraid server to my Synology (great timing) and having do use a terminal to do it is torture.

[prelci laughter]

unique macOS bug: I cannot right click in any application. Cool. Guess this is the battle I get to have today.

love how every time I go to offload shit from my macbook my fucking NAS decides to pull some super fun shenanigans, leaving me in a position where i have to play fucking linux server admin for 6 hours before I can even begin getting work done.

CVT :(

how in god's name is there not a memo field in the paypal purchase process? That is insane.

Roko's Basilisk just reminds me of when Jeph Jaques thought it'd be a super deep cool idea for Questionable Content to introduce a character named Roko (an AI inhabiting a robot body) and have her fight a literal basilisk. There's "on the nose" and there's "punching the metaphor in the goddamn face"

I’m in Galveston right now and… yeah.
