It’s funny, I don’t think I would even understand the attack matrix reference, had I not just watched a yt series about Gamma World (and Metamorphosis Alpha).

Well, not always: Plural ‘they’ is a borrowing from Old Norse ca. 1200 AD, and the earliest attestation of singular ‘they’ is about a century later.
But, yeah, you’d think 700 years of continuous use would be enough to make it uncontroversial…
It seems kind of disingenuous to compare enterprise support contracts for Linux to personal Windows licenses. Especially while also ignoring that you do pay for Windows, it’s just hidden in the cost of the device.
Though it is also true that Linux is gratis and Windows is not.
Huh. TIL that italic emoji are a thing.
…I don’t know why that’s surprising to me, since they’re just Unicode, but it is.
It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they’d pop up regularly during the winter sale.
But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is “will I play it right now?”
Connect very slightly cuts off the bottom of the image for me.
Sushi is supposed to be bite-sized. In my experience this is not always the case in practice, but the idea is that you should just pop the whole thing in your mouth.
IMO the early game exploration rush is the best part. Anomalies and archaeological digs give that great Star Trek vibe that kind of goes away once everyone is settled into their borders.
I believe the g palatalizes the n, so it’s more like nyok-key.
Way too many people don’t understand how marginal tax rates work.
In fairness, the first iteration of that deal was Pepsi for Stolichnaya.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.
I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.
First OS on a computer I personally owned? Windows 98. First Linux distro was Source Mage.
If not counting ownership, then Apple IIs at school and then slightly later my family got an Amstrad that was primarily a DOS machine, but could also boot (by switching floppies several times) to some sort of GUI.
This format is especially apropos, as Natalie Portman is one of a handful of actors with an Erdos number.
It’s funny, I just switched to pulseaudio hoping it would fix some issues I’ve been having with pipewire. It did not.
Edit: I’m not on Mint, though, so best of luck.
