I was told they’d always be there for me. Then my dad passed away a few years ago.

I still miss him.

It took a while to get going, but eventually the story worked well to pull me in. I was hooked on the character development and the plot.

The world is so vivid and beautiful too. Lots of things to look for, hunt, explore, etc. I really liked it.

I also had my character grow a big mustache. My wife won’t let me do that so I lived vicariously through the game for that too.

RDR2

I use jiffies to refer to clock speed.

Some of the assets still come from the original game, but OpenRCT2 is wonderful.

Species of apples

… effortless casting could be a negative depending on who ya ask.

Driving drunk.

Normally I would say view the man page (as a command). Though for some reason when making the thinnest distro possible, the OS team at my job got rid of man.

Wtf man.

Oh no it’s an Albany expression

A place where people use the phrase steamed hams.

Toast is just bread that has been toasted.

I use an rss reader with some tech news/blogs.

Interesting side note: if discord was e2e encrypted, how should they take action on anything?

If a group decides to swat a server and they can’t review themselves, how should admin moderation work?

(Yes this isn’t the current situation, but I’m on the toilet and it intrigued me)

I miss the content and niche communities of Reddit. Remember you can still be in both as long as you’d like. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Edit: I also am sad that big news events like the Superbowl don’t have nice vibrant live threads. Hopefully we have more good content for non Linux peeps.

That can’t remove a directory.

I use GitHub Copilot from work. I generally use Python. It doesn’t take away anything at least for me. It’s big thing is tab completion; it saves me from finishing some lines and adding else clauses. Like I’ll start writing a docstring and it’ll finish it.

Once in a while I can’t think of exactly what I want so I write a comment describing it and Copilot tries to figure out what I’m asking for. It’s literally a Copilot.

Now if I go and describe a big system or interfacing with existing code, it quickly gets confused and tends to get in the weeds. But man if I need someone to describe a regex, it’s awesome.

Anyways I think there are free alternatives out there that probably work as well. At the end of the day, it’s up to you. Though I’d so don’t knock it till you try it. If you don’t like it, stop using it.

Imagine the regex needed to highlight code with that extra single quote.

I enjoyed Tom Scott.
