Yeah, really baffling direction. I ended up trying a version on gnome 3 on a Debian distro when I had a new job. It ran very slowly. Super weird. It used to be super smooth.

Interesting. I think they might have been my problem, I was just trying to use it tradicionally. I wonder how it’s different nowadays.

Yeah, it’s been interesting seeing all the alternatives popping up. I think I’ve met a lot of people who really liked MATE.

I’ve mostly kept using XFCE. But before I had i3 only.

I don’t quite get why massive Gnome changes would imply a death of Desktop Linux. There are so many great alternatives to it. It’s been many years that Gnome has been considered bad by many, and that many have used alternatives. I just think it’s positive that Gnome continue to get worse, because like that more distros may default to better alternatives to begin with.

Any recommendations?

This is the most baffling feature ever. Why would anyone want to have titles translated? The video itself is not going to be translated! I guess it’s because of these auto subtitles that are simply not that reliable nor do they make for a good viwing experience if you really don’t know the language.

Even Youtube’s algorithm already doesn’t suggest videos from languages in which you don’t search in! My youtube shows me stuff only in the languages I usually google with.

And the ads with this ai voice… Damn they are weird.

I did not know this, and I love it! Thanks for sharing!!!

I watch youtube on a smart TV where I don’t have a way to skip ads. I know there are ways to do it, I just never implemented.

The experience with Youtube is getting so much worse. It used to be one ad at the start of the video. Then it was two. And now ads in the middle of the video. They are also so long! It completely breaks the narrative of the video and is so distracting.

All of this just makes me want to watch less Youtube, which is likely not a bad thing.

I one time left a job where everyone had Linux workstations and went into a finance job where developers were using windows. It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.

To begin with, the PCs were highly restrictive. You either had to rely on a shitty service to request software to be installed, or had to beg for an admin account to install anything. This took days if not weeks already on onboard.

One works with interfaces that hide the actual process. No one actually understood git. They just know a few sequences of buttons. They ask me all the time when they want to do something other then add,commit,push and have no idea about even the status command. They pull up some shitty cli tool, usually within an IDE, and they act as if I’m some sort of genni or know some black magic when I type “git status”, or do things like stash, or solve a conflict.

The lack of automation possibilities, or scripting, or the fact that so many things have to be done by clicking around interfaces means that everything is super slow. There is friction everywhere! On top of this you get apps freezing or crashing randomly with no information of what happened. Somehow the PCs are so incredibly bloated with company spywares that despite the fact that they are suppose to be Lenovo Ultrabooks with a lot of RAM, SSDs, and a good CPU, they run like a 15 years old laptop with a half broken hard drive.

Horrible, just horrible.

Oh yes, there were so many of these novelty accounts.

I remembered a user called Shitty Watercolor who would do very quick paintings of things user situations. There is still a subredit about it, and I’m shocked to noticed that the posts are from like 9 or 10 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitty_Watercolour/

There was also the jumper cables guy. Like, a user who would reply to every askreddit threat, only that his story would at some point include a line in which his father would get mad and beat him with jumper cables. Very funny.

So many of these accounts. The site really used to have some community and lore to it, and I really don’t feel it anymore. Even things like the secret question: “What time does the narwhal bacon?”

Reddit really turned into yet another brainrot doom scroll website.

I think back to what it used to be, how I used to engage with the communities and it’s depressing to see how that was lost. I miss the old API especially. I used to have personal project around it that helped me use it. It was fun to develop and maintain, and it really helped me out browsing reddit.

when they changed the api ruled I tried still to use it, but their interface to create an account to use the free api (I was querying so little it would have applied to use the free api), never worked. I tried for months until finally giving up.

I also think that generating blob summaries just goes towards brain rot things we see everywhere on the web that’s just destroying people’s attention spam. Wikipedia is kind of good to read something that is long enough and not just some quick, simplistic and brain rotting inducing blob

Thanks!

I did find a few ways to control the randomness, but I’m wondering if there are many more? I basically got:

I think it’s a master piece. I played a lot of it.

I do kind of have a problem with the RNG because at some point I already know what I need to do to solve a puzzle, but I just need to get the right rooms to be able to actual make the puzzle. I don’t have a lot of time to play games, so I gravitate away from it due to this.

But aside from that, I think this is one of the most amazing games I’ve played. The lore, the design, the puzzles themselves. I’ve had quite a few moments where I was completely mind blown with things.

I think the oscillation described people’s activity time. Over the course of a day, people who would register for a VPN are much more likely to do so during the evening, because during the day they are busy with work. So you observer on a daily basis a peak like this.

Such charts are very common with services used daily. For example, social media usage in a given region often has a peak during the morning, a big peak during lunch time, and in general goes up after work time.

Of course not everyone works at the same time, but a majority of people have more or less the same work times, so we observe the peaks.

Very excited for this!

I love the look of it!

yeah, being inspired by he looks of the old time cartoons, but still having their own original stories and character is the best choice.

This looks amazing, I’m very excited about it.
