Someone left a comment of sneering disagreement on my Steam game review?

Haha I don’t want to waste my time on this person *block*

I need to rewatch Robocop 2 and 3

That was a fun dumb time

Are you fucking kidding me Parallels Desktop can't open OVF, the open format for virtual machine files, without downloading the competitor's tool (VMware ovftool) and converting to the competitor's VM file format first!

That is the official workaround kb.parallels.com/en/122835

All other virtual machine managers have supported OVF since like 2012.

If you have a really frustrating friend or family member that everyone tries to help but never succeed, count how often they use phrases like "I ought to" / "I should" and "maybe" / "probably" and "I guess" around statements of intent.

Language is action. Stop using these weak words. These aren't volitional statements they are self-defeating ones.

oh, good.

I always suspected the Ohio Valley was secretly hell...

I love the passive-aggressiveness of Safari reminding me every time I use Google Docs that it’s a piece of shit.

A guy I know who plays in a cover band thinks he’s a “creative” but like, someone who comes up with solutions to complicated problems for a living is not?

I don't know how anyone finds anything on google drive. My work one is just a mass of 300+ documents that people have shared in the last three years. Most which I looked at once then completely forgotten. But all stored in the same folder. If any of these documents were anything but ephemeral, it would drive me insane.

Hey no matter how your day is going

Just remember

At least you didn’t lose a dime gambling in cryptocurrency 💸

If I ever say “stoked” then we have to get me back East. Okay? Mastodon pact.

When selecting a bamboo reed snorkel through which to breathe, find one that is the right width for its length, otherwise you are just rebreathing the same air over and over, which will kill you after long enough.

You could probably develop a formula for this if you want to write the thesis on mathematically optimal snorkel girth.

I just ordered a coffee scale so I can measure precisely and improve my iced pour-overs.

I've recently seen plenty of Linux gamers get excited about DXVK and it is an interesting technology. However, you should remember that buying Windows games to play with it doesn't really help Linux gaming. "No Tux No Bux" is still the most reliable way to support the platform and make sure it develops on all levels.

"In order to make any meaningful progress, we must at least agree that the Googles and the Facebooks of the world are not forces for good. On the contrary, they are threats to our human rights and democracy. We must at least agree that they are not our partners, sponsors, and friends, but our adversaries. Even today, we are not at this point. Even today, institutions that purport to advocate for human rights and democracy feature Google and Facebook as partners and sponsors."

A really good example of that was the Personal Democracy Forum earlier in the year, sponsored by those companies and promanently fearuring Google and Facebook speakers. It's hard to discuss what democracy means, or should become, in the internet era if Facebook is dominating the narrative.
