Yeah the inventory was super slow for me too, especially in my home base where there are a lot of items. Also I thought the icons were pretty small so it was hard to see what was what sometimes. But it does look nice and like you say I’m sure the speed thing was mostly down to the servers being hammered on patch day. And I do really like that you can search the inventory now.

What I’d actually love would be an alternative layout for the inventory where it’s pretty much just a text list of items, and the 3D model/image shows up on the description tooltip when you hover over it.

We could make Sundress and Propeller Hat the standard summer outfit, but we have failed as a society.

The Magnificent 7 and A Fistful of Dollars are just Seven Samurai and Yojimbo but westerns.

Yeah same here, I’ve been procrastinating while I gradually build my collection of mp3s/flacs, but the second I hear an ad on Spotify I’m done.

As a Brit who moved to Canada and was super annoyed when Brexit made me lose my EU passport status, it would be hilarious if this is how I end up getting it back.

There’s also the opposite to this, when someone else reads your stuff and says they really like a certain part, and you look to see what it was and it’s something you wrote 'cause you just needed a transition from point A to point B and you put zero thought into it/don’t even remember writing it.

Nobody ever likes the bits you agonized over for ages and thought were really good lol.

I know someone whose dad used to work as an international courier, and at some point (I think in the late 70s/early 80s IIRC) he ended up in the situation where he was in Japan for a week, with nothing to do, and his hotel room paid for by his employers. He didn’t leave the hotel the entire week, just stayed inside the entire time ordering room service and… making a point of not seeing Japan, I guess.

I know it’s probably bad form to link to reddit posts here (but I’ll use redlib to it’s slightly less shitty lol) but there was actually a pretty interesting thread on r/Linux about this the other day. tl;dr: It looks like a lot of this is due to lobbying from Meta so they can shunt responsibility for age verification onto the OS and dodge fines for not regulating their sites properly.

I’m reasonably sure that’s what’s happening with resumes largely now. People get AI to write their resumes because it’s a boring task to do, and then employers are using AI to read the resumes they receive and provide summaries. So it’s pretty much just AIs talking to each other about who should get the job.

NFTs. I’m too old for that nonsense

And a good skidibi toilet to you, sir

I have an American relative who’s super MAGA and on the day they invaded Iran he just posted “I voted for this.”

I use Floorp too. It’s a weird little browser but I like it

Yeah that’s always been my assumption. My retirement plan is essentially to just be eaten by cannibals within about 24 hours of everything going full Mad Max.

I have! One of the nice things is that you can do whatever you want without having to round people up or get a consensus on everything, IE: you can just go out and wander about, and if you see a weird restaurant you’re curious about you can just go right in and check it out. In a group it’s always like: that place looks interesting but A isn’t hungry and B is allergic to peanuts and what is there’s no vegan option for C, maybe a couple of us can go tomorrow and have a look and then you never do. The downside is you don’t get to reminisce about it with your friends later on, and any stories that happen don’t really mean anything to anyone else you tell them to.

Yeah the Superfish incident. AFAIK they haven’t done anything sketchy since then and if you’re the type to just wipe everything and install your own distro anyway it shouldn’t really affect anything but still not a great look.

Yeah I like Lenovo in general too! I have an Ideapad rather than a Thinkpad, but this is my second Lenovo and they’ve both lasted for ages, never had any weird problems, played nice with Linux etc.

I don’t even know what blast my microwave is at. I just put stuff in it, run for 45 seconds, if it’s not hot when it comes out = another 45 seconds. Repeat until food

I had a very niche problem on Fedora once that I was personally unable to solve, therefore the entire project is trash and everyone should use CachyOS which I haven’t managed to break yet!
