Completely agree. It's utterly addictive, and the further you get, more and more fun tech gets unlocked. Been playing it with some friends, and we're all hooked.

Oh my, I'm addicted to Satisfactory.

One hour turns into four at the blink of an eye.

Please send help...

Myself and a friend actually tried this a few years ago in a very tight tunnel in Northampton. We obviously had an engine, but wanted to try to see how feasible legging was. It is super hard. Constantly balancing yourself on the board so you don't go in the drink. The actual work your legs have to do is nearly impossible if you let the narrow boat slow down, and the slippery and slimy walls add to all of that. I was covered in dirt and grime after a few minutes.

I suspect they probably used the barge poles to help too, but legging was definitely a thing. Like most of the jobs around the canal industry of the 18th and 19th century, it was incredibly tough and dirty work. I take my hat off to the the guys who did it day in and day out for very little compensation.

I read this as Seven of Nine

Superbly original in its style and the art is great, but I refunded it.

Ultimately, its a kids game.

I used this recently to help a friend with some tech stuff. The docker images were simple to bring up and within minutes we were connected. It freaked him out how easily I could get on and control his PC. I was impressed by the whole experience.

This article taught me the term "Hundred Model War" referring to the crowded AI market in China. Interesting stuff.

Deadlock, and really enjoying it!

I am not a fan of this. I see it all the time at work and it's very obvious when someone has chatGPT write an email for them (it's always such a sterile and yet overcomplicated writing style). If it's a direct email to me, I tend to feel insulted that they couldn't be bothered to write those 4 paragraphs themselves - it would have taken them 2 mins. There is a definite human disconnect going on in society at the moment, and its worrying.

Super excited for this! Bring it on

I looked at it a few months back and it didn't have the history side of things, just the setup and realtime stats which I'd already got through the CLI. Thanks tho!

Thanks. I think I looked at doing that when setting it up, and it was more expensive in terms of API calls. With a cloud vendor you have to be careful of that, so I opted for the SIZE command.

 

I moved over to Wayland full time a couple of weeks ago (using KDE on Arch). I have finally rid myself of any X11 hangups apart from one. Latte will NOT respect my primary screen when changing monitor arrangement (ie. turning my projector on and off) and seems to randomly pick a screen to call the primary.

Soooo, as I'm considering a change....what dock in Wayland works for you? Is there anything as good as Latte in X11?
