I find myself saying this one a lot. When I feel like I’m putting in effort and the other person won’t meet me in the middle something like this always seems to slip out, but I hate how passive aggressive it is.

Reframing it so ‘the problem’ is the problem rather than the person is a good idea. Helps with communication, and if it can be internalized, it seems like a better way to think about the conflict too.

Error 404: Costume Not Found is a classic.

The 30% cut Steam takes is quite a bit. Considering the near-monopoly it has on game distribution, that could easily mean the difference between turning a profit and not for an indie developer.

Personally their efforts towards things I support (PC handhelds, Linux gaming) and the convenience of the platform outweigh the things I dislike, but being frustrated by its problems is understandable when people don’t really have another choice.

Quality of output depends a lot on how common the code is in its training data. I would guess it’d be best at something like Python, with its wealth of teaching materials and examples out there.

I don’t mean to imply anything magical about it, just thought I’d mention that it has some legitimate benefits beyond placebo for anyone unaware! The site linked above has all the information I was talking about, and cites the source studies too.

I hate this so much. People should be free to act like they want (as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone), because why the hell not? What’s so objectively better about acting in the ‘normal’ way? But everything outside the very narrow idea of normal is treated like a problem by default.

I have some tics that come out when I’m alone that I’ve filtered out around others as long as I can remember, and honestly I think that’s part of why I feel so claustrophobic in social situations. I don’t even know how to act like ‘myself’ in public if I want to.

Seeing people being themselves regardless of how it looks to the current typical sensibilities is the only thing that lets me feel like I might be able to do the same. So fwiw, every little bit of rule breaking you have done or will do makes the world a little better for me, and anyone else who doesn’t feel welcome. Thanks.

Not just a placebo! At least when made with a proper bone broth. There have been some studies showing it has anti-inflammatory properties, not to mention all the great nutrients it has! (source)

You’ve never read the book in question… Because you think it’s filled with gut feelings and anecdotes… Which you know, because of gut feelings and anecdotes…

Your original post was asking why no Firefox forks implement that ui, but now you’re saying there’s no point when you can make those changes yourself…

That’s too bad, I just started using it a few days ago and I love it. Covers most of the customization I want to do to Firefox that’s kind of a pain like vertical tabs, alternate themes, reopen last closed tab button, etc etc. Out of curiosity, what do you prefer about other browsers/forks? Floorp seems like it covers more of the changes you’ve made in the screenshot than any other I know of, is there another one with more customization options?

Take a look at Floorp, it’s a little rough around the edges but has vertical tabs plus a lot of other nice features. Feels a lot like Vivaldi but Firefox-based instead of Chromium-based.

+1 for PorkBun, I’ve never had a bad experience with it.

Fwiw it does have a ‘Lite’ edition that doesn’t include any theming.

This looks really interesting. I like the idea of a stripped-back ActivityPub server and I dig the honks. Anyone know how well it works with other ActivityPub implementations, like Lemmy/Mastodon/Kbin/etc? I would think its simplicity would work in its favor in that respect.

Enough.

I was using a nice firefighter duck named Cleo, but he was underperforming so he had to be let go. Now I have Rufus:

I was afraid a mouse wouldn’t be able to do a duck’s job, but he threatened to sue so I had to give him a shot. Glad I did, he’s proven as capable as any duck I’ve known.

Thanks!

Anyone have a link to a non-paywalled version?

Finding vocabulary at all can be a challenge in and of itself. If I get too lost for words I sometimes can’t find any - it’s not that I don’t know how things work, I don’t know how to say it.

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to go into detail for me.

It’s not something you dream about it’s already who you are, no matter how much it is.

I like this a lot. I’ll be getting that book - but today’s my first official no-zero day. Thanks again, wish me luck in gathering these acorns.
