I truly drank my fill of the first game. I found it to be an exemplary of "generous" game development with all the unlockable characters and the "dark/ hell world" and the unlockable lo-fi mini-version of the game, and IMO you can see that generosity also in how it influenced future successful games such as Celeste (also has a fun lo-fi pico8 version of itself for instance). ugh I just loved it so much. no I'm down for them to make a 3D game. I would die for them

I feel like the fragility is more of a concern than the weight. either console is sooo entertaining and nice to have on, like, a trainride or whatever that it more than pays for its weight burden in your pack; The risk of it getting its screen broken and needing to be fully replaced is a lot more daunting to me than the need to carry an additional 5 lb around. My steam deck came with a carrying case that I always really appreciate for just that reason.

that additional context is super interesting, but it doesn't take away from the fundamental reality which is that when someone opens up to you about suicidal ideation, it's not acceptable to merely do your best to dissuade them; it's critical to get them to help they need, and there's just no way for a LLM to do that.

this individual is an outlier in that his personal outcome was spectacularly bad, but his story seems familiar to me. I know a lot of people who seem to feel like they're building real relationships with these bots.

I migrated to fish recently and at first I was really annoyed that I had to decompose my ~/.bash_aliases into 67 different script files inside ~/.config/fish/functions/, but (a) I was really impressed with the tools that fish gave me to quickly craft those script files (-

~> function serg
    sed -i -e "s/$1/$2/g" $(rg -l "$1")
end
~> funcsave serg
funcsave: wrote ~/.config/fish/functions/serg.fish

) - and (b) I realized it was something I ought to have done a while ago anyway.

Anyway, all this to say that fish ships with a lot of cool, sensible & interesting features, and one of those features is a built-in place for where your user scripts should live. (Mine is a symlink to ~/Dropbox/config/fish_functions so that I don't need to migrate them across computers).

 

I feel like I remember seeing something like this get posted and celebrated in this or some other techie community, and I'm interested in screwing around with other OSes but I can't remember which one it might be. What's your favorite 90s-flavored Linux desktop environment / distribution?

he produces content?

Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source's word choice; it's not for emphasis.

Yeah that's what I mean; this is a bit edgier than I'd expect out of him these days. To be fair people often tend to become less piracy-enthusiastic once they publish their own books!

He's gotten a bit less edgy over the years. Mostly in good ways.

I'm curious what's the financial outcome here for the customers? I don't remember what Humane's price model for these pins was, and none of these articles are discussing it. For example... Eh I'll just look it up.

Oh my god it was $500-$700 up front plus a $25 monthly fee. That's just horrible; will the customers be getting refunds? [Looks it up] Nope.

That's interesting. What kind of massage are you talking about here?
