I wish there were more games like this. It’s such a simple premise but so satisfyingly difficult after each level. And it even has a bit of randomish failure which makes for even m…

Nice can’t wait for the linux port coming up.

I’m running my development from a Mac which I think precludes flatpack usage. Pity because I love the control you have over git

I’m not really here to defend opencode (or bash it, who has the time?), but in setting up SDD paired with the right tools to both make deterministic black boxes out of certain acti…

Nadella asks the question: why do foundational model providers get to tell you what knowledge you are entitled to access while at the same time engorging themselves on all your dat…

Could it also be that the phrase “using an LLM” is loaded in itself? Who is getting more velocity out of it: - chat box interaction - vendor harness user (the cursor / antigravity …

The tool isn't going away, it _is_ useful, but it's also a footgun and a slow suffocation. So learning to live with it and learning how to mitigate those issues is like any other t…

yes I want a post about that background, its pretty awesome how it gradually and seemingly randomly builds itself.

Yes! Recently connected two disparate systems (ubiquiti and mimrotik) using their exposed API’s and a Claude session so that systems I have on either environment could talk to each…

I stand by my comments. Bazzite has benefits being immutable but immutability can cause certain tasks to be more involved or constrained. Case in point it’s nice that Bazzite comes…

Bazzite or CacheyOS (if you wish to do gaming and have more rope to hang yourself mainly because you can more easily affect the system if it isn’t trying to enforce immutability). …

This does not load for me.

I thought they prohibited the Apple mdm for family use. Was this a soft ban? Can we just use it without like verifying it’s just for the family?

Problem isn’t with “tastes better and at half the calories”, no, it is actually for providing filler when the initial sell was using genuine simple ingredients. The software analog…

That’s Valve (somewhat) and Blizzard (but to the nth degree) in a nutshell. That said, tangentially, I do wish game companies would let games live on.

I assume the same, but not because it’s sanctioned. Sanctioning is a slippery slope or a degree change as has been mentioned.

“Maintainability” is probably the word you are really looking for. Few devs care whether something adheres to whatever as long as we maintain: - user experience/expectation (i.e., …

I mean I should probably also say it’s good enough that Bazzite ships with it enabled (not something I’d have expected)

I mean for local dev I like that I can just press one button and have Kubernetes available. Podman Desktop had something approaching that simplicity but I have found Docker Desktop…

Good for the most part, I appreciate them being pretty much a drop in replacement (mostly so tools that reference docker can just work usually ). Regardless it works enough for me …

Well said! I guess I’d overlooked that aspect of corruption. Especially poignant in my home where leaders make corruption===outwitting laws===smart. Perception can lead to widespre…

Uncle Bob is awesome, maybe some of his ideas aren’t iron clad but he embodies a great engineer and person. Every time I’ve listened to ( https://youtu.be/UBXXw2JSloo ) or (now) re…

Corruption is ever present. No counter to it is what kills countries. The US has been security by obscurity in so many ways, this latest abuse is just further evidence that countin…
