Their website has a question at the bottom “Are you still interested in Pebble?” And if you click yes, it’ll show you their new models, but there’s also a button for No, which takes you to Google’s latest smart watch. The “we’re not a big tech msgacorp” vibes are strong with this one.

I cannot put into words how much EA has killed Titanfall.

As a software developer, when I read that sentence, I heard “We want WiFi 8 to continue to improve the standard and be faster, but that’s not a very sexy sales pitch, so we’re gonna pitch it as if AI is the only reason we’re developing better infrastructure.”

OH MY GOD JUNE, ARE WE STARTING A COMEDY DUO?!?

If you like 6DOF games, check out Everspace 1 and 2.

Imagine having a 40% market share and losing it all. Honestly, it’s kind of incredible how far Ubuntu has fallen. Hopefully it serves as a lesson for anyone thinking about alienating their users.

I think the reason you pivot to 2 is always because execs say that they didn’t monetize enough early enough and it’s best to just try again with the week 1 sales peak because they’re short sighted idiots. Splitgate 1 was a game worth revisiting for months, but 2 isn’t going to hold your attention for a weekend.

If you only write tests for things that won’t fail, you’re doing it wrong. Are you anticipating some other feature coming soon? Write a failing test for it. Did you find untested code that might run soon with a little work? Write a test for it. Did a nonessential feature break while adding an essential feature, let the test fail and fix it later.

Some states allow citizens to propose ballot measures if they get enough support, which then get put up to vote in the next election and become law, but both parties hate the practice and fight it wherever they can. No such thing exists at a national level though.

I feel kinda helpless as an American watching the petition grow. I wonder what would happen if an American petition got big, would corporate America kill it? Would it get traction? Idk…

My favorite messages are “Don’t touch this file unless you talk to Gary. Don’t import this file unless you talk to Gary. Don’t even think about this file until you talk to Gary!” And Gary has moved on and hasn’t worked there for years.

All yaml is just sparkling JSON.

Being able to run on everything is nice, but what you’re actually asking for here is for a highly skilled (and rare) distro maintainer to dedicate substantial amounts of time to maintaining and testing thousands of packages on 32 bit systems in case someone wants to use it. It’s not just like users get to click a button and voila, they can run more games than before.

If you really need to use 32 bit software, eventually you’ll just have to manage it yourself because no one else is able to do it for you. That capability will almost never go away.
