I work remotely from a different country so I don’t really have a choice but I’d show up to work 1-2 times per week because they offer free food and see the people I’ve been working with the past 4 years.

That being said, I love the fact I don’t have to commute, chats and calls always have a main agenda but we also chat about games, movies etc. occasionally. I can work uninterrupted most of the day

Honestly, if they make it with upgradable RAM, M2 SSD and GPU you’re essentially buying 1 and getting gen 2 and 3 for 50% off.

Just as a side note that gas power plants capture two types of energy, both the expansion of the burned gas and the heat. This is why they’re now more popular for new builds than oil.

Everything in Debian just works, but people are looking for more features than Debian offers out of the box.

I can see why people would want Debian if they’ve been burned couple of times by distros that move very fast and break stuff.

Like ham and cheese in a restaurant.

Yeah, cooking rice without a rice cooker makes the cooking a lot more intense IMO. I really like the “set and forget” aspect of rice cookers so I can spend more time on chopping and cooking on a pan.

My tip is rice for calories, veggies for nutrition, dry beans/chicken for protein. Frozen veggies can get very cheap.

Potatoes are also super good and allow for a lot of variety. To make something tasty like mashed it does require butter and milk.

Side tip for rice, rice cookers are pretty cheap and save you plenty of time. You just toss in rice, water and salt in the correct quantities and good rice comes out. You can also make whole meals with it by putting some oil and frozen veggies.

For taste spices are key and big quantities of spice don’t cost much per dish. It takes some experimenting but once you get a hang of it it becomes very nice and easy. Garlic/onion powder, cayenna pepper, salt and pepper improve almost every dish.

One caveat is that seed oils are just not healthy so if the budget allows for olive oil, butter or coconut it’s better.

We’re up to 4% again 5% is back on the menu which will make 2026 also the year of the Linux desktop.

I’m from Iceland and this pretty much checks out. Pro tip, renting a cabin with a hot tub on days with good conditions is really good. Also travel with people who smoke so they go out and check on a regular basis.

The default theme could be better but you can customise a lot of it. Or you can wait for the current trend of rounded borders to end and KDE will be ahead of the curve.

Also, they always play until checkmate. If there are two geniuses playing chess one of them would resign at least 3 moves before reaching checkmate.

I can relate, I’m a shower person and I just love watching an anime episode while showering.

I like all of those things but currently I really like it to be light enough so it doesn’t bother my shoulders. On the go I want it to be light, at home I have everything with peripherals such as a USB hub, external monitors etc.

I really want to get a dock so I can plug everything through a single USB-C port but they are expensive and often have bad Linux support.

I remember one game having the replacement mag taped to the current so it was an easy out flip in every time.

I think this is it. Posting is reinforced by getting feedback on posts, both up votes and comments

I mean, it’s kinda true. A rocket just makes fire which expands and pushes whatever it burns out to make it go fast. You got the fire, the fire pushes things away from whatever you’re burning and the rest is just optimisation.

If you manage to make a helium balloon that floats in the air, attach a burning log fire to the bottom of it and enclose it in a way that the air intake is on the top and outlet is on the bottom you’ve made an engine that you just need to aim with a ballast weight.

Still wrong, but you were onto something.

I feel like I’ll be prepared later on but I’m fully expecting to not be ready when the time comes.

I’m an autistic male and for me expressing myself in general is a bit awkward. During tough times I really liked expressing it to my friends and siblings since it’s a decent way to process the feelings.

This is such an immersion breaking aspect of modern games and an absolute garbage approach. They’re idea is to not break the “flow” for the action players but for players that like puzzles it’s absolute horror. They just need to add during new game a “Puzzle hints” menu with Normal, Low and None.

“That rock looks fragile”, “Have you seen the rock next to the windmill? It has cracks in it”, “What if we shoot the rock with the ballista?” at those points I just want a “Shut up” option.

If I can’t figure out the puzzle myself it removes all satisfaction from solving it. I want to be confused, open up a journal that I need to skim through to get relevant information and then put the pieces together.

nzb360 that I got a perpetual license for at 10eur. It’s so easy and convenient to torrent stuff for my Jellyfin.

Niagara launcher is free but I paid for the perpetual license. It’s a third party launcher that I really like.

I’m also a Jetbrains fan depending on the language, they have so much support for everything just out of the box and are on Linux.

Also games, but I guess people don’t want to hear those here. Factorio was definitely worth.
