I always read the article in stories like this because I often find the context changes things, but it doesn’t really help here. In an old video from 2023 he was eating rice with his hands, as many civilised people from non-western cultures do. It’s like telling someone who’s using chopsticks to go back to China.

I know everyone in here’s saying no but I do. If I’m going to a social occasion I might have a drink beforehand; not much, just enough to feel it. I’m not the most comfortable in social situations and a beer can just take the edge off. I don’t get drunk or anything and I’d only do it if there’s going to be alcohol there anyway.

I also drink sometimes to help me sleep. I have ADHD and I struggle to switch my brain off. Sometimes I hit like 2am and if I think I need it I have a bottle of whisky downstairs that I’ll go and have a drink off. Again, just enough to feel it. I have pills and medicine that help me sleep, and they work also, but they leave me feeling groggy the next day. With a little whisky I don’t even feel it the next day and it seems to work just as well. I don’t do it too often, maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks.

Another reason for me to hate Spectre.

I don’t really care that much. I’m quite happy for AI to be used to create more content in my games wherever it’s appropriate. If a company can use AI to create all the mundane background content that nobody really wants to make then who cares? It doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re going to fire people, it might just be the same people making more content.

Also, I know they were using it for translations. AI is actually excellent at translating and it’s better than not having them.

Who’s ask Grok?

It’s not even clear what changed.

I love the idea of sleeping on a train but the one time I did it I got woken up regularly by all the stopping and starting each time we got to a station.

Just something to bear in mind regarding OneDrive; the unofficial clients don’t have access to certain APIs that the official clients use meaning that it only syncs every 5 minutes at best. As far as I know there’s nothing you can do about it.

These headlines always make it out likes his approval ratings are tanking. It’s gone down by like 3% in 6 months. Most people are still fine with what he’s doing.

Linux is way easier than it was even 10 years ago and many games run better on Linux than they do on Windows. There’s gaming distros but I’m not sure what the benefit is other than the built-in NVIDIA drivers. I just game on Fedora. You need to enable Proton stuff in the settings and you’re off.

This sounds like it might be useful for some people who get lots of messages, like businesses at least, but I just don’t trust Meta.

Watch both Judge Dress films to understand the difference between a good film and a bad one.

Bought some parts for my car without checking they fit. Two hour round trip to pick them up, hours grinding the old rust off them, more hours repainting them, another £100 buying all the extra bits I needed to fit them. Then got under the car and realised there was no way they were going to fit. Ended up just buying some refurbished ones off the internet so at least the extra parts weren’t wasted and I get to fit them.

They were anti-roll bars for anyone who cares.

I get the sentiment but there’s probably bigger things that we should be campaigning for than saving NFS: The Crew.

Are these cheaper or is it just Uber etc trying to maximise their profits by cutting out the salary bit?

I didn’t realise it wasn’t already banned. It’s been banned in the UK since 1999.

Let me know if you figure out how to get UO working on Wine. I have to use the online client.

I still dual boot but I find myself in Windows less and less. Specifically what I use it for is a few games, Fusion 360 (my brother is happy with FreeCAD but it’s not what I’m familiar with), and I need to use Windows for OffSec exams because the invigilator software doesn’t work with Fedora.

I only realised that Windows was required for the OffSec exams about 6 hours before I was due to start, I was bloody glad I had that Windows install good to go when that happened (it’s a 24 hour exam, notoriously hard).

The Iranian regime are a bunch of cunts but they’ll never surrender. They’ll throw their kids to the wolves before they surrender.

Are we anywhere near being able to run this in a car? I want to hook it up to loads of stuff in my car and have a computer control it like Star Trek.
