Can I ask why he wouldn’t use Signal?

What’s rule 1?

Haha yeah I was slightly confused why I wanted to play a different massive sprawling rpg but 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was playing a ton of Baldur’s Gate 3, but I decided I needed a break on it after getting to Act 3. I’m currently playing Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire for the first time and enjoying it.

I use Garuda and love it, but I also don’t think it’s the best for a first Linux distro, unless you’re good with needing to consistently use the command line for things, and you are interested in learning more about Linux and want a distro that requires you to occasionally get your hands dirty.

From what I’ve seen, Linux Mint is a great first distro. If you want something that’s more purposed to gaming, then Nobara is great. It’s made by GloriousEggroll, who makes Proton-GE. It’s not going to be as new-user friendly as Mint, but more so than Garuda.

False alarm everyone. I run Garuda but have been playing around with Nobara and I filled it out on both distros on the same machine. Sorry to get everyone’s hopes up.

This ^^. It turns out that Elon is just a narcissistic idiot who doesn’t actually have good business sense, at least in the software world. The types of things he’s been trying are better explained as someone who wants Twitter to make more money but doesn’t understand how people actually think and behave and doesn’t realize that these decisions will alienate users and destroy the product. Spez decisions seem similar, although on the whole I think he’s less of a people idiot than Elon, and is probably just under tons of pressure to improve the financials right now and is making bad short-sighted decisions as a result.

I had to do it on the web interface. Go to the community and there should be an option to block it in the sidebar.

American here: I fully accept that Monday as first day of the week makes more logical sense, but my brain can’t reverse years of programming. I get very confused and make mistakes if I look at a calendar that starts on Monday.

Honestly, it’s also “literally”. Humans are complex lol.

Sees you from a few hills away: Oh my gosh we’re literally right next to each other! 😜

I randomly messaged a former colleague who I haven’t talked to in 7 years, which is not the kind of thing I normally do, and I got an excited reply a day later.

Mistborn: The Final Empire! If I’m not mistaken, “heist book in fantasy setting” is literally one of the main things that inspired Brandon Sanderson to write this.

Haha good point. Come to think of it I haven’t heard it in a while, but I’m also not exactly running in circles where it would be used frequently.

Former linguistics grad student here: The meaning of “literal” is changing, and sentences like “That guy is literally 500 years old” are correct.

Very cool. I might have to go look up how that even works. Thanks for sharing!

I actually didn’t play the first one. I heard that the second one is better so I decided to skip the first one.

Can I ask what you do to make that living? An ex of mine spent some time in SL a few years ago so I got to experience some of it mostly second hand. Such a fascinating place.

I’ve been playing through Octopath Traveler 2 but I got a bit burnt out on it and wanted something different so I picked up Rimworld yesterday and am really liking it so far. Lost my first colony to starvation because I hunted all of the animals and then left them to rot! 😂

Yep, agreed. I’ve signed multiple NDAs at my company recently just to evaluate some tools that have been on the market for years. It’s not what people seem to think it is.
