10 introduced a bunch of cool stuff that made it seem like it was going places: WSL, the new terminal, multiple desktops. If you're able to ignore the sad state of the control panel and settings apps, 10 was peak windows experience (feature-wise).

Then 11 came around and fucked everything up. As someone who subscribed to MS Insider to run beta builds of windows and get updates earlier, win 11 was the first iteration that really felt like there was just no upside to it. It was exactly the same as win10, but with some features removed and a much heavier hardware requirement. Even Vista (microsoft's most successful OS) had some cool stuff going for it back in the day, but win11 was nothing but one disappointment after another. Shit it wouldn't even let you keep a clock on the second screen until like a year after release.

I wouldn't say it's nothing. It's a lot less meaningful that it used to be but it can still be effective. Whoever killed that CEO last year only needed a basic gun and they managed to make America slightly better with it.

I wouldn't put it past them to still use other people's self driving cars.

It does happen, but it's once in a blue moon and not something that can keep a whole business model going.

Not exactly the same, but similar: when working with sprites for games, I often run into situations where I realize way too late that I need the size of each frame to be slightly larger than what I had been working with it. You'd think that having the ability to resize an image by adding extra padding to each individual frame would be a pretty common feature in image editing software these days, but nope. I ended up writing a small tool specifically for that just so I wouldn't have to adjust frame by frame ever again.

Portuguese, English, Japanese, German and in a good day, Spanish.

Portuguese is native; English and Japanese I learned from consuming content in those languages; German comes from my family (though I recently started studying it too). And Spanish because it's very similar to Portuguese so I just need to remember the differences.

It's like in anime when the characters use some "forbidden technique" that steals 10 years of their life span, then the anime ends with the character still growing old well enough.

I'll trust you and pick it up.

I dare say that all of the main FOSS chat systems are better than any of the proprietary ones.

The As represents how much the employees scream while making the game.

I've tried to play baldur's gate 3 a few times already and every time I felt like it was a fantastical game but I always ended up not playing it for long. After the last time I started wondering why that happened and reached the conclusion that it was the D&D universe that put me off. Not necessarily because it was bad but because I knew nothing about it and the game didn't try to introduce me to it either.

So I read your comment on Hasbro as "want to make another great game but using only the bad parts of the last one"

I'm loving bluefin and I really want to go all in on the immutable stuff, but I'm having a hard time being productive on it. The devcontainers experience has been miserable (probably because I refuse to use VSCode and every other editor having poor or no support for it); I also had SElinux fuck me up when trying to build some complex dockerfile from a project at work (something that was supposed to just work took me two whole days of debugging - and I even managed to break bluefin's boot process when I tried to mess with the SElinux configuration. This one was mostly due to my own inexperience with SElinux, combined with there being a lot less content on the internet about fixing stuff on immutable distros compared to traditional ones).
