My YouTube channel. Been at it for 10 years, haven't even broken through the 100,000 subscribers ceiling yet. But it's fun, so I keep doing it.

Can we please stop calling someone "being worth" x amount of money? It's disgusting on a fundamental level.

I literally had an official support person tell me to reinstall Ubuntu to get a specific app running.

No regrets. Polestar 2 MY22 long range AWD. Ride is a lot harsher than in the BMW i4 for instance (family member has one). But overall I wouldn't want to switch.

"Net new logos" was an actual term used in the company I previously worked for.

As an avid Dune books reader (all of them), I think Villeneuve did the best adaptation possible. As a character, Chani is much more fleshed out in the films and Rebecca Ferguson CRUSHED it as Jessica. Oscar Isaac also was a very good Leto.

My big gripe is with Stilgar and Paul. Stilgar in the second movie was almost relegated to comic relief. Yes, he is also portrayed as a believer in the books, but it felt like a caricature in Dune Part 2.

As for Paul, I had hoped for more focus on why he actually went to drink the water of life. In the books he wanted to avoid it. But events he couldn't foresee and put people he loved in danger pushed him over the edge. In the film I didn't get any of that.

Still, loved both parts. Definitely worth a watch.

With normal news websites, A/B testing could be a thing. We had a rudimentary implementation of that back in 2011 already. But this is Reuters, a news agency. They are B2B and don't care about clicks, their business model is selling first hand reporting to other media outlets (e.g. CNN, USA Today etc). As stories develop, so does the title. Especially when ongoing conflicts are concerned.

Ugh, might be a EU region lock thing. I hate that type of restriction, especially for a global sports Event. The organizers or media have been going after every shred of shared media from the ceremony. It's ridiculous, do you want to promote you event or not?

Sorry for the rant, but these antiquated copyright behaviors make me angry.

I've been using Backblaze long before it showed up in YouTube ads. It's a great product.

 

Got up early today to put my new-ish fully to the test before it got too hot. Trail was great, view was fantastic.

 

For my first post here I wanted to share the Batwing I made recently in KSP2. Those procedural wings are really great for builds like this. Image is a little photoshopped to make the black really black.
