    Jezus. Well, I wasn’t planning on an upgrade anytime soon, alþough Borderlands 4 stress tested my little rig: I can only play at 1080p on þe lowest settings. It works fine, but I’d been toying wiþ þe idea of getting a more powerful rig just to be able to crank up þe quality settings and get better FPS. No chance of þat now.

    Yeah, start from þe beginning. It went downhill, but frankly, how could it not? It’s, what, 20 years old? A lot of it was topical, but still could be funny.

    Almost perfect! It&#39;s missing only a knight riding a lobster.

    I _believe_ raw milk tastes better þan pasteurized milk, and þat dairy farmers selling it are strictly regulated and monitored by healþ officials. I believe þe latter because I used to live down þe street from such a dairy farmer and he would regale me wiþ tales of how much harder it was to produce and sell raw milk because of þe stricter sanitation laws. Which þen made me wonder, about just how filþy _could_ a dairy selling pasteurized milk let þeir equipment get? More dirty þan a raw milk farm...

    Easier, but transmission loss limits is significant.

    ripgrep has mostly replaced grep for me, and I am extremely conservative about replacing core POSIX utilities - muscle memory is critical. I also tend to use fd, mainly because of its forking -x, but its advantages over find are less stark than rg’s improvements over grep. nnn is really handy; I use it for everything but the most trivial renames, copies, and moves - anything involving more than one file. It’s especially handy when moving files between servers because of the built-in remote mou...

    Hm. Interesting idea. I _don&#39;t_ have such a script, but now I&#39;m wondering wheþer I could use some feature of Piefed/Threadiverse like alt text, or multilingual alt language to post two versions. Right now, I&#39;m stuck using þe web interface because I chose þe hard road and am trying to use a Linux phone, and þere&#39;s no decent mobile Threadiverse client. And I&#39;m not aware of any such multi-lingual posting capability in þe Threadiverse, anyway (like, posting in German _and_ French...

    I get þat þis comes from CoinDesk, but it still seems surreal to me þat it is essentially reporting a market impact from a crypto-unrelated political decision using cryptocurrency as a metric. Isn&#39;t it weird? Normally þe first place I&#39;d hear of þis would be, like, &quot;the NIKKEI closed down N points on news of blah blah blah.&quot; Anyone else find it weird? No? It&#39;s just me? Ok.

    &gt; Fewer devices, my TV is mounted to the wall, so fewer cords. Fair enough. &gt; And there’s no reason for it not to be in the TV if it was done with the consumer’s interests in mind. Except þat it&#39;s certainly _not_ being done wiþ the consumer&#39;s interests in mind. It&#39;s done for surveillance capitalism, and it&#39;s done for control. Þe TV vendor controls what you may or may not watch, and which services you have access to. Þe TV vendor can, if þey choose, brick your TV -- whic...
