edlin or bust

There are 168 hours in a week. Why not use them all?

I finished the Siege of Dragonspear and even Black Pits expansions of Baldur’s Gate 1, and have now started Baldur’s Gate 2 Shadows of Amn.

I’m not far in yet (chapter two) but already get the feeling this is much deeper and has many more options than the first game - which was already quite good. I think I’m going to like this one.

Hell: from macOS to WSL.

Ah the eternal arms race between parents and children. For me it was lights out so I couldn’t read, circumvented with a flashlight under the blanket.

I suggest you play the first, then decide whether you want more.

Is it password1?

This man walks so others can ride.

You got a lot of great recommendations already, but I want to add one more indie game: Lost Words Beyond the Page. Gameplay is simple and it’s not very long, but the writing is excellent.

You mean the thing that Opera had in the 90s, and Vivaldi since inception?

It was the style at the time.

It’s a reference to The Simpsons.

I didn’t count them, but wired itself has a very impressive list of “partners” in their cookie disclaimer too.

The man knows. The man knows everything about you. They’re always watching.

Apparently, they didn’t know it by heart. If they had, they wouldn’t have had to spend all that time searching.

Exactly this. My small Reddit communities had a few posts per day. The equivalent on Lemmy have a few per year. Still, I don’t miss them enough to go back.

Removed ‘/dev/null’. You wouldn’t believe how many things rely on /dev/null.

When I switched from using the bus to going by bike, i cut my commute time by more than half. If I were to take the car, it would halve again. Public transport is great, and necessary. But it will never be faster than a personal car for anything but large distances.

The feeling is mutual.

Literal decades ago I bought Sennheiser headphones. They were great. They later orders of magnitude longer than anything I had before. They fit well, and were foldable, making them very compact when not used. And they were cheap too.

When they finally broke down I naturally wanted Sennheiser again, but they referred me to their new brand Epos. I bought a headset this time, not just headphones. It was a lot more expensive, and I was terribly disappointed by the ergonomics. It’s also rather big, making it unwieldy when not in use. And they broke already, though I was able to fix it - they broke just out of warranty of course.

Of course this is just one anecdote, but it really does feel like another great brand sold out and became crap.

Is yours yodelling the whole time too?
