Yes lol

I’m as much of an enjoyer of macOS as anyone, but I’m not deluding myself into thinking they have any potential for gaming beyond the Sims. The hardware is more capable than ever, but the support for games is nonexistent. Apple could work with Valve to make Proton support macOS, but they don’t care to.

I’m loving the lore of the “tildeverse”, check out https://cosmic.voyage/ starting with the log entries. Feels like Futurama meets Unix Surrealism.

Fam, jail that windows into a gaming partition and either get a Mac if you aren’t a computer nerd or use Ubuntu if you are. My computing quality of life improved greatly when I didn’t have to use Windows anymore.

Uggggh fucking whhhhhy.

I don’t even use Windows and I have to put up with this shit. My parents are going to call and ask how and why they have to use this new thing.

What was gained from this exercise in self-lobotomization? Pick a design language and stick to it.

Stirring the pot like this is driving away even enterprise users. My last org only approved Macs and Chromebooks because we didn’t want to deal with the headaches that windows brought. Imagine saying that statement 10 years ago!

Hopefully the DoJ case against Google includes getting bent over a barrel for abusing their position as a market maker to force their revenue model.

Hmm…

Dune? Nope

Westwood: Double Nope

Cowboy Bebop: Not even close

Dark Tower: negative inspiration actually

I’m sensing a pattern here. Sand + sci-fi equals a lithium prescription.

Would be a real shame if your wife were to suffer an allergic reaction and die after you agreed to this free trial, leaving you with no legal recourse despite our restaurant’s demonstrably inadequate precaution!

I am livid over her absolutely disgraceful management over Moz. When electron was building a de facto monopoly of Chromium on the desktop she made no moves to produces equivalent tooling. While Node grew into a behemoth she totally ignored it. The only thing that has come out of Moz in the last decade that mattered was Rust, and she’s already fired the Rust team. She is poison and serves only to suck up a salary that could fund development.

Mozilla needs its wake up call and to start being the underdog that makes something worth doing. With Manifest V3 and the anti-trust case on the horizon they have a fork in the road that will define what becomes of them. Hopefully she can make one good decision and it’ll be the right one.

Have you even used Eleven Labs? Their voices sound way more natural than Google Translate. I was able to release my last book with an audio version because the quality was quite good. The pacing and tone shifts aren’t always perfect, but it’s perfectly serviceable.

There are laser systems which read the groove without physical contact, as to avoid the wear problem. They are also so accurate that if your sample it at high enough quality you can do exactly what you allude to. Some purist is going to crucify you for even suggesting it though 😂。

People forget that in the 80s and 90s it was considered the highest quality possible to capture with wide magnetic tape, and record companies would tout that the master for the record was converted directly from wide magnetic tape tape.

I once had a fling with a vegan girl who referred to me as a “carnie”, intending it to be a jab at me. Having worked in a carnival for several years I found it hilarious she tried to make it an insult.
