Or y’know, give Canada somewhere else to sell theirs.

Money. Lots and lots of money.

Because the campaign to prioritize money over morals by the capitalists won the war 30 years ago.

Studio fan death by 1000 papercuts.

This is where I’ve gotten to with their games as well. I love them, but tired of it basically becoming an MMORPG DLC subscription.

Most of the game genres they excel at are the type I like buying and playing because they are complete from day one, and you maybe get 1 to 3 DLCs. Like movies, the trilogy (original game and two nice DLCs) is the sweet spot.

Stellaris got insane and most of the individual races should have been bundled somehow into larger expansion packs.

Mandrake was my first Linux OS.

I keep reading this as Marijuana chip.

Was Canadian, its owned by a Japanese company since 2010

OCRemix.Org already does this with their music, so its possible.

The deb version is a pointer to the snap in their repos. Nothings being replaced, it no longer exists. The deb version of Firefox in Ubuntu repos is a wrapper that installs snap and has no binaries in it. Has been for 3 years or so.

I’ll note that a number of groups and forums send mailing list like emails (google groups, django dev being a big one) and that notifications can be threaded from places like Github with the right client.

Thunderbird has good threading.

Roundcube webmail is also capable here. Though when I have had it working it didn’t include sent messages… which is not great in my mind.

Thunderbird has good features for mailing lists and threads.

You don’t need special docks in KDE, its all configurable through the default desktop settings. You have enough knobs to make it look like anything.

Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess

That’s some shitty ‘hacking’…

But what makes these shell commands ‘bash’ exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.

Also… why are ‘hackers’ always using a shell in some gui program?

The social players all moved over to FFXIV

LLMs can’t count.

Meanwhile Western leaders are still putting their fingers in their ears going “Nah nah nah, this is a war between neighbours”

How many foreign nations need to out boots in Ukraine on Russia’s side before NATO wakes the fuck up to the fact that WW3 has begun, exactly? 10?

Absolutely, especially with ADHD in the mix. When demand aversion kicks in, your brain literally tries to undermine any attempt to focus unless you can force it to cooperate. Music usually helps me with this.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

We don’t have a natural ability to infer emotions from body language, for a start. We have to learn to actively pay attention to it. Replacing natural instinct that a neurotypical person has with an active thought process is tiring, for a start.

Add to that most ASD people have trouble with emotional control, need to actively think about their own facial expressions, and often have social quirks that are unacceptable like nail biting which must be actively repressed… and being around others for hours on end is exhausting.

On top of this, most ASD people also have ADHD, and in the modern open office environment between the social aspect and never ending barrage of distraction, and the workplace is hostile, actively hostile to folks with ASD.

This combination of factors leads to having no where to unmask and relax until they get home. When they do, they are so exhausted from being something they are not for 10 hours (commute has to be included as its all public space) that when they get home they just shut down. They don’t call family or friends usually, they don’t get things around the house done. They have to turn off and try to re-energize themselves for doing it all again tomorrow.

I know all this as I am ASD and ADHD

Being able to work from home has brought actual balance to our lives as we can unmask the moment the camera goes off, we have rooms at home where we can close the door and remove distractions (well except mandatory work chats, but its a matter of muting that for focus) and at the end of the day we still have energy for our actual lives. In other words, this is the true work-life balance that I had always heard of but never truly felt I had.

I missed this, someone have the TL;DR for the clueless?

I feel the same way about having to use Mac for work and going back to a Linux PC at the end of the day. God damn I hate Mac’s UX. From the entire UI, to the CMD key, to the fact that END functions as PGDN and goes to and of page instead of end of line.
