eh I’m happy to just let it go. Bioware hadn’t made a good game since 2014. every release after Inquisition was awful. Sure we can look at a pre-rendered video and think “oh man, sucks I won’t be able to play it” but lets be real here…the chances of it even being good with their recent track record? i’m doubtful.

it’s a lot more than wordpress…

Godot has a series of tutorials focused at kids looking to make their first game. should check that out. Godot is really easy to use.

Or you could go the route that many of us did way back in the day with geocities and set up a neocities account and learn the basics of HTML. they can set up their own little website for whatever their passion is. HTML, IMHO, is a great introduction to coding.

sooooo Starship Troopers then.

you’re in for a treat then. oh man I wish I could experience Star Trek again for the first time, especially TNG and DS9. I’m insanely jealous of you right now.

I switched to OpenBSD about a month ago and I absolutely love it. it’s not my daily driver. It’s smooth, incredibly easy to install and upgrade (just did it today with the release of 8.0) and has everything I need and everything works. found the wifi works a hell of a lot better, almost on par with Linux, than FreeBSD.

Also I really like Haiku. that’s a fun simple OS and the fastest install I’ve ever experienced.

also ignore anyone who says skip season one. don’t. there are a few things there that you need to know for later seasons and honestly, it’s not that bad.

I switched to daily driving OpenBSD a month back and it’s been such a smooth and great experience. by far one of the easiest OS installs I’ve ever had (it’s essentially a yes simulator). and what I love about OpenBSD is to get everything working, wifi, gpu drivers, etc it’s literally just doing fw_update in the terminal and that’s it. the upgrade process is just as easy.

It’s so stable, everything is fast and it all just works. plus a fantastic and supportive community backing it.

at some point this morning she needs to resign. she has to.

also I’m of the opinion that her and the 23% that voted for this need to be arrested by the RCMP for treason but that’s just a hollow pipe dream of mine.

well i’m getting out of FOSS due to AI and contributions with it. I don’t want to touch code anymore.

Instead this past year I got REALLY into retro computing. buying old PCs and Macs and stuff from the 80s and 90s and fixing them up. So I think i’m good on the hobby front. modern computing and coding? no, i’m done. I don’t want to write another line of code ever again. but the hardware? fixing motherboards and stuff? yeah that’s fun.

and this is why I’m retiring in two weeks. They don’t get it, they never will. my work as a contractor trying to code review their slop and telling them what they needed to change fell on deaf ears. they cut me a cheque, thanked me for my time, and it was onto the next company/startup to perform the same song and dance.

i’m done. I’m done with the tech industry. 25 years just poof, gone. I’m in my mid 40s, i’m single, i own my condo, i’m done. I’m going to sit on my ass all day, play videogames, and clear out my codeberg and delete everything. I’m not even going to work on FOSS stuff anymore, i’m not going to maintain anything, I’m not going to contribute. I’m done. I want nothing to do with this crap.

I haven’t watched Twitch in a good year or two (used to all the time) I only recognize like 2 of these games other than Riot. who’s Caedrel?

or “The drive to DC is too long”

OpenBSD doesn’t allow it, what are you on about?

Thomas de Grivel made clear the chances of accepting code with such a murky copyright situation were effectively nil, and he said on March 23 that he would remove all the LLM-generated code and keep only what he wrote himself.

let them. Seriously, let them do it.

And when the day comes, and it will, when something is submitted and approved and breaks shit then people can turn to the devs and Linus and say “I told you so.”

my decision a few months ago to start daily driving BSD doesn’t seem to be a bad one.

It’s an AI centric “OS” that is being funded by friends and associates of it’s “developer” Daivd Heinemeier Hansen or DHH as he goes by.

It’s essentially a fork of Arch Linux that has been vibe coded by an AI agent to incorporate DHH’s dotfile configurations. It has AI heavily baked into it and is configured in a way that forces the user to use and subscribe to whatever AI agent (they’re all preinstalled btw) they choose in order to configure the system. It uses Hyprland as it’s tiling window manager and has turned the one file lua config for that into 6 separate lua configs that are designed to only be utilized by AI. it has idiotic default keybinds (for example one keybind opens twitter/X) and comes bloated with preinstalled software thus you get a 6GB Iso.

It’s being backed by companies and friends of DHH who have vested interest in AI. Unlike say Windows where a user can easily use the OS without having to use AI with Omarchy you really don’t have a choice if you want to get anything done, thus the reason it’s being backed so heavily. It forces the user to use AI. It’s a bait and switch.

fine. KDE is more customizable, more configurable, more solid, better wayland support, doesn’t break scripts or addons when updated, and the devs nor the users (i.e. you) don’t have conniption fits if you knock it. I swear GNOME users are just like Omarchy users. heaven forbid you knock their poor choices.

I use KDE. I found GNOME annoying and extemely opinionated. I also got turned off by it when I asked a question on mastodon like a year ago about an issue I was having with GNOME and an actual GNOME dev replied to me and essentially said I was using the DE wrong. basically I wasn’t using it the way the GNOME devs use it.
