That was kind of my point saying HDR support is hard on Mint. However, I game plenty on Mint and never had any problems aside from that.

Yeah. I think the only people saying that LLMs can write better code than “us” are the ones who can’t write good code themselves. And thanks to the Dunning Kruger effect, they overestimate their own skill and think they can speak for the rest of us.

Mint is beginner friendly. The Cinnamon desktop is very Windows-like. But if you want HDR support I don’t recommend Mint because its desktops are mostly on X11. It updates the kernel less frequently, so it’s more stable, less cutting edge.

Pop!_OS is also beginner friendly, gaming oriented, makes installing NVIDIA drivers easy, and since its desktops are on Wayland, you can get HDR support. Its kernel updates more frequently, so newer hardware gets support sooner.

Time your sleep to align with 90 minute cycles. 7h 30m for example works great for me but 8h has me feeling rough

And how did it happen, if you don’t mind me asking?

Acid.

I hate Killer Bunnies so much. Weak mechanics, largely luck-based, and land attempts at both humor and art

Oof yeah, this one should have been called “Crabs in a Pot”

Thanks!

Why that and not standard Ubuntu-based Mint? At minimum you lose PPAs and the Driver Manager. What’s the upside?

Was it Gather? My team uses that, it’s great.

Yeah, I meant rewrites of complete shipped products, so your exception fits

Exactly. Full rewrites nearly always end in failure.

I work for a company whose product is built on dotnet. I worked in Windows for a long time but with the shitshow that is 11, I switched to Mac at my last hardware refresh. Linux isn’t an option here yet, but we host in Linux, so I hope it will be an option eventually.

Rider, the only extension I wouldn’t want to live without is IdeaVim.

The Venture Brothers did a great sendup of this trope in “The Handsome Ransom.”

One one hand, yes it’s hard. But also, some progression is permanent, and it is possible to build momentum over the course of a single run and over all you runs in a way that can snowball. The first biome and boss is probably the hardest, because you as a player are at your least skilled and the caps on your maximum power are still quite low as well. If you can push past the first biome and boss, you can beat the game because your power cap grows faster than the difficulty does.

I’m far from an AI apologist, but rewrites and refactors really should be covered by automated unit and integration tests.

I don’t get it either. My wife loves the stuff but to me it’s in the uncanny valley of food. Unsettlingly almost, but not quite like food.

Gets better every loop

Not to oversimplify it, but first we had to make the rocks very thin, then put lightning inside them

Ah, too bad
