My ballot is based on current season accomplishments; trying to avoid poll momentum, previous seasons, or prestige, except for tie-breakers. My own proprietary "nose test"

Alabama overtakes Texas for #1 (dubs over Georgia vs dubs over Michigan, although Texas's win was an away game, and more convincing, I think Michigan is that far behind). And Utah takes Michigan St's place at #24. Missed last week due to work, illness, broken hvac combo.

  1. Alabama
  2. Texas
  3. Tennessee

...

  1. Utah

For me, it's because:

  • I have a 5950X and it seems pointless to upgrade from there. Sure the new stuff is faster, but disproportionately so for the price. I would need to replace a bunch of components.
  • I recently upgraded to 128GB RAM, and it was cheaper to do that with DDR4
  • I've had 2 faulty Ryzen processors (1700X, then my first 5950X), and I've learned to wait until the kinks are ironed out.

So, it's 6-Pac now?

I wonder if they'll eventually absorb all of MWC.

I used to use the gitlab mirror to browse the ebuilds; I prefer the gitlab UX to the github UX. But, for some reason, it stopped getting updates several months ago. Anyone know what happened?

I work as a software engineer with other software engineers. Even software engineers and UX designers using the internet that way. Talented ones. Many of them - maybe the majority. It takes me a second to get over my astonishment when they share their screens. Not only astonishment at how overboard ads have gotten w/o an adblocker, but also that this particular person doesn't use an adblocker.

So many people aren't well-informed about what ad networks or doing, or how different the web experience could be.

Frankly, the cybertruck depicted in this cartoon looks better than the ones I've seen IRL

Globulation2 brings a new type of gameplay to RTS games. The player chooses the number of units to assign to various tasks, and the units do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows players to manage more units and focus on strategy rather than on micro-management.

It's actually quite old and has gone through stretches of inactivity, but appears to be kept in working order in its git repo, and recently has been getting maintenance patches.

Dvorak since Dec 2010. Between semesters, I was just checking it out, not planning to stick with it at all. But, I really liked it, so I spent the rest of the semester break learning Dvorak and never looked back.

I met another dvorak user at work. I made a git commit that was meant to eventually be squashed with the message aoeu, which apparently gave me away. My coworker then asked me if I typed in Dvorak; not immediately recalling the commit message, I was quite astonished; how tf did you know that? Turns out, he typed in Dvorak too.

My dad was tricked with the "cat litter box" made-up moral panic. SMN has an episode on it (can't remember which one), but some people are too far gone to admit they've been deceived by made-up fox news.

My X220 and T520 each have 16GB. The designed max was actually "only" 8GB, but it turns out 16 GB actually works. I replaced the RAM modules myself without asking Lenovo for permission. Those models came out in 2011.

I thought this was an interesting play (~10:57). Motion, fake hand off; ball is pitched to number 5, who runs backwards trying to find an open receiver. Breaks a tackle while being facemasked, throws the ball. Ball is tipped, and a Montana player catches it off the bounce.

“If all the tied teams are not common opponents, the tied team that defeated each of the other tied teams earns the Championship berth.”

As George Stoia of On3’s Sooner Scoop pointed out, the original tiebreaker rules did not have that sentence in there. The language has been added to Step 1.

After exiting the Week 10 loss to Alabama with concussion symptoms, LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels was considered questionable heading into Saturday's home game against Florida. But there was nothing questionable about his performance in a 52-35 win over the Gators. Daniels became the first player in FBS history to throw for at least 350 yards and rush for at least 200 yards in the same game.

Not this year, this decade or this century. Ever.

Daniels' 606 yards of total offense included 372 yards passing and 234 yards rushing -- 85 of which came on the longest run by an LSU quarterback in program history in the second quarter. He scored five touchdowns in all.

Looks like my current Zenfone running LineageOS is my last Zenfone.

The subreddits I watched seem to be as busy as they always were, and the corresponding communities on Lemmy are mostly devoid of activity. Frustratingly, I'm still getting reddit links from my friend, which I leave unopened. Maybe Reddit took a hit in terms of users and post quality, but I'm growing increasingly skeptical that a mass migration is going to happen.

Numpad or no numpad? The choice is yours.

Was this a feature of the previous generation? This is really cool! Framework has settled the numpad debate.
