Oh no, my steak is too juicy, my lobster is too buttery!

Jokes aside, who cares? The only thing that matters is that you’re happy with each other.

The last time this was considered funny was in 2010. Be more creative, make a sort of “DRM” that only lets you play the game if you cracked it, and doesn’t work if you buy it.

When I’m not thinking about anything, it just plays music, all the time.

When I’m thinking, it’s kinda like the reasoning of an LLM, it talks about possible ways to solve something, how things could end, and says things like “oh right, if I do X, I need to do Y”.

The strangest thing is that despite me being italian, most of my inner monologue is in english, especially when I’m playing games or programming; and it’s not in my voice, it’s a generic male voice that kinda sounds like Morgan Freeman.

When I worked as a technician, I had to install windows and help people set up proprietary garbage on a daily basis, despite me being very much into free software. It felt a bit surreal at times when I was setting up AD servers or helping grandmas to use whatsapp while I was using a degoogled phone with lineageos and linux on all my computers and home server.

Now I work as a teacher, I can use whatever I want on my devices and encourage my students to do the same.

No that would be just in the current folder, I needed to search recursively

Take a look at pi.dev (or similar tools)

I bought 96GB of DDR5-6000 CL30 in september 2024 to use in my workstation 😅 I’m glad I did.

Using a state of the art local LLM and an agent to ask it to find all files with a certain extension, because I always forget how to use the find command on linux and I can’t be bothered to read it.

They’re very few addresses, you can tell the OS not to use them. Take a look at this: https://www.memtest86.com/blacklist-ram-badram-badmemorylist.html

Yes, but they usually have a system prompt telling them to be super polite.

I’ve been using Qwen3.6 a lot lately to debug a shitty old game that doesn’t want to work in wine and during the thinking process it said more than once things like “The user is wrong, […]”, but at the end it always said something polite like “You are right to say that X, but it’s more correct to say that Y, …”.

As Richard Stallman once said: “I’m not glad he’s dead, but I’m glad he’s gone”.

Clive Barker’s Jericho

It’s janky af but it has great atmosphere.

I develop a similar tool and this thing is absolute slop: it’s full of obsolete settings like RADV_PERFTEST=gpl,rt (both have been unnecessary for years), broken features like FSR4 (it needs a DLL from the AMD drivers to work that this thing doesn’t provide), and anticheat support is a complete lie, none of that trash will ever work in wine.

Also, I don’t know why you would ever use a debian-based distro for gaming, the drivers are 6 months to 2 years out of date, you’re just asking for trouble.

I sincerely hope you’re trolling.

I teach computer science and windows has been the biggest source of problems I’ve had in the last five years: I’ve seen defender delete their programs when compiling them, I’ve seen it delete gcc because it thought it was malware, I’ve seen it do forced updates in the middle of a test, I’ve seen updates break tools like compilers and servers that needed to be reinstalled on a daily basis, I’ve seen onedrive make some of their files inaccessible, I’ve seen updates break their wifi, I’ve seen it take upwards of 10 minutes to log into our AD domain, the list of problems goes on.

These days windows is a piece of shit, especially if you’re a developer. I’m basically forced to have them either install linux or do all their development in wsl, and it fucking sucks.

The Eaton unit is a UPS that’s connected to the whole setup. It works really well, I can recommend it.

The home server under my desk. Very professional, as you can see.

For me it’s Mario 64.

I’m old enough to have tried it when it was new and my opinion back then was that the controls made it nearly unplayable. I tried it again a couple years ago and I still agree with my kid self.

I will not install your shitty app

I have the previous gen T14, and I had to replace the entire motherboard because the Wi-Fi chip is soldered. It’s still soldered on this one I see.

What’s with the goonerbait?
