I really liked the first AC game but when I played Odyssey I was disappointed. Beautiful game, fun mini-games, nice subsystems like upgrading the ship and whatnot. After the initial couple of hours I started to feel like everything is a chore.

Need a map? No way to buy, you have to run/ride and climb the chore tower.

Want to use equipment? Grind chore for the XP to meet the level requirement.

Want to beat a quest handed to you early? Grind XP

Want to complete side quests? All of the boilerplate fetch/kill quests.

Just please, give me a starting weapon that’s good enough and I can just stealth kill my way through the main quest. Also, just allow me to buy the map.

That’s fair, but looking at papers is not really a good entry point for people getting into skills specifically. For information the GOAT it’s always Wikipedia but skills is trickier.

Getting into car repairs, plumbing, woodworking and more can be done with YouTube and is frequently recommended by people in the trades.

Getting into running is and weightlifting is also pretty good with YouTube since you have “Göran Winblad” physio and a running coach which does some quality content and “House of hypertrophy” is just weightlifting research news and he makes sure to mention caveats, holes in the research etc.

Notably bad examples are programming and guitar playing which offer close to no value in my opinion but I’ve heard some people have had success with it. However when you get into music theory YouTube becomes good again.

So in general LLM for basic info on what exists, YouTube for some examples on how to do it but the other >90% should always be practice.

Google is bad now but we have more powerful tools than Google ever was. LLMs are good for an overview of whatever skill or research you’re doing as long as it’s a common skill.

Then you have YouTube which takes some navigating but there are a lot of YouTubers that cover recent papers and studies in a field they have a degree in.

Those two together can pretty much give you a road map towards learning a skill. I’d personally avoid all short form videos since explanations will either be oversimplified and they “give you the fish” instead of teaching you how to fish.

Anything Warhammer 40k. The universe and the lore are amazing because they absorbed a lot of SciFi elements from literature. The games have often been underwhelming but when they’re good they’re really good.

Also what that he gets his news from Xitter and Alex Jones.

We need more Linux phones

Depends. In the case of Angular the docs are very good so I read large sections of it. Doing the hero intro was really good at getting me up to speed.

For dotnet I don’t like them. It’s 50% reference manual and has few examples for the more niche things.

Ackshually, KDE is an organisation that makes KDE Plasma (a DE) and KDE Linux (a distro)

I heard subnautica 2 has some drama

I’m very early stages on making my own TUI for http requests that’s shortcut based. Idea is to use Jetbrains format http files. Folders for projects, sidebar for requests etc.

Supports environments and I’m hoping I can set up the main screen to use Vim.

It’s born out of postman hate mostly. It’s just so bloated

Idno man, that’s sounds like a very America brained argument. When people say free healthcare they don’t mean we should have self sustaining health slaves colony to heal us up for no money. Obviously it’s going to cost tax money if it’s not directly billing the consumer.

Public healthcare also doesn’t mean free healthcare. In Iceland it’s subsidised 90% with a wax payment of like $200 monthly or something so it’s not free, but it is public. You can also have free but private

Now do Black and White

It’s a fair point but it’s not as egregious as most other headlines. I personally give this one a pass since clickbaits are meta in the article space. It shows that GOG has this in their toolbox.

Coconuts spread by floating on the sea from pacific islands to Madagascar

It’s not too bad, it’s readable and easily optimised by adding intermediate sums and removing whatever power of 10 you’re working on.

Isn’t it just like error handled code in Golang?

Like a sequence A, B, C where if A errors you don’t continue to B or C but if A is ok then you just continue doing B and so on. In the end you end up with the result or errors. Am I wrong to assume this?

I’d recommend starting by hosting a nextcloud instance.

1. Get a desktop computer, pretty much anything will do but having room to add more HDD is important.
2. Install Linux distro like Ubuntu or something
3. Get a static IP so your IP doesn’t change
4. Setup a router port forwarding rule so that an outside address points to your nextcloud instance.

Then do some optional steps:

• Automatically turn on PC when power comes back on (BIOS setting)
• Startup script that runs nextcloud on startup
• Install docker to manage services like nextcloud
• Add some remote desktop thingy to manage your server from your laptop (ssh is also good but a steeper learning curve)
• Get a NAS for storing data with redundancy.
• Have some other form of backup like your current Google account, cloud provider or one of your mates with a similar setup.

That’s pretty much what you need to start hosting your own files, then later on you can setup a email server, media server like Jellyfin, homepage and everything.

Just go one step at a time and when you hit an issue you can and should ask Google or ChatGPT. Remember, everything exposed to the Internet is vulnerable so take security seriously. Always have everything protected by a decently long password, pairing requirement with your server confirming adding a device or an API key.

Not sure which one I would pick. Pokemon Blue, Oblivion, Star Wars KOTOR, Warcraft 3 or Super Mario 64 maybe. All of them were amazing and had a lasting impact on me.

More recently I played Enter the Gungeon, Slay the Spire and Return to the Obra Dinn

You’re out there collecting info maaaan. Information is the thing that unlocks new areas.

I’m not, he’s not comparing cigarettes to social media, he’s saying that social media has replaced cigarettes as the vice of choice for young people.

Hes does compare it to Radium poisoning though.
