    My experience may be dated, but I've always had issues with controllers on Windows and Linux. Less so with Linux these days because my controllers are dated and the drivers are in the mainline kernel.

    The biggest issue was solved with steam and it's controller interface / community layouts.

    One of the goals of neovim was to introduce tools to build a GUI around vim. Imo the terminal is by far the best option, but there are some fun options. Neovide is an interesting one. Mostly because it doesn't do too much -- just eye candy.

    This is the second article I've read about someone getting trapped in a Tesla. It's a shame that a lot of people will opt to blame the user when this is obviously a stupid design decision by Tesla.

    Anyone who thinks a person reviewing a product is on their side is a mark. The issues with LTT videos is so obvious in hindsight that it's hilarious that the fans haven't or refused to notice. I honestly thought being shitty and approachable was their schtick? The people who are incredibly upset are likely to stan Gamers Nexus until they eventually get called out by another tech outlet for similar shit. The drama is fun though.

    Interesting!

    Another row could be useful, but I thought the default layout of the keyboardio Atreus was clever because the second layer put the number keys right under the right hand so it worked like a number pad. Another row for numbers would be useful for gaming though.

    I played both one and two when I was pretty young. My parents found gba games to be a lot cheaper on eBay. Turns out they were bootleg copies. Because of this the character transfer didn't work from one to two. I was pretty bummed about it. Still a fun series! Ragnarok!

    It's going to be a lot smaller since it doesn't bundle a version of chromium in every build. Instead it uses the systems native web view. This does pose the problem of vendor specific rendering issues.. How snappy it feels is down to how the front-end programmed. It can still be a mess of bloated JavaScript 🙂

    I have a fond memories of the game for sure! The world was really cool to explore and I did keep coming back to it. I think I got to the point where the combat became really easy -- I recall finding a way to almost cheese it.

    Sort of a dumb reason, but imo, flying a spaceship is not really what the game is about and that's all I wanted to do. For example, I wanted something where I had to use orbital mechanics to dock with a station, but the powerful SciFi boosters in Elite Dangerous take all that fun away.

    I was really disappointed with this one. I tried it out per a friend's recommendation after they heard I was playing a freeware space flight simulator (Orbiter, which I do actually recommend).

    Kingdom come deliverance. It was a rollercoaster. One of the first games I played after building a new computer. I progressed far enough and finally found that the combat was jank and the story was pretty garbage. Still have fond memories of the game though. Almost like the first time playing Oblivion 🙂.

    The trend towards subscription services for basic features is garbage and replacing controls which should be easily accessible with a touchscreen is stupid if not outright dangerous.

    Also isn't a Tesla kind of a "premium" vehicle? For mass adoption they should be affordable without all the silly add-ons that will be woefully our of date in 5 years.

    I don't want to own a car that could cost 1k+ dollars to replace the headlights.

    Kde is probably what you're looking for. It's a pretty conventional interface with a suite of applications that all work together really well. It's the same desktop environment steam os uses.

    I've been trying out an IaC services' (Pulumi) chatbot to answer questions about how to spin up architecture. It's really bad. Totally makes up properties that don't exist and at times spins up code that doesn't even make sense syntactically. Not to mention that the code it generates has the potential to cost not insignificant amounts of money.

    Definitely not a replacement for stack overflow, github, forums, or random blog posts. Not for a service that spins up critical infrastructure. Like, you have to know to some degree how that stuff works. And if you know how that stuff works, what's the point of the service? Saving a few minutes typing stuff out and looking at documentation?

    Prioritizing developer experience is not the reason we use front-end frameworks. People expect the web to work like a desktop app (no page reloads). The initial request might take a little bit longer, but in the end a well written front-end app will feel faster.

    The problem is that people don't worry about bundle size and cram every library off of npm into their website.

I went to my local West Marine and had trouble actually finding this stuff, it's a smaller store so maybe they didn't have it? Can anyone point me in the right direction to find this stuff?
