But also it has never been easier or cheaper to set up a web site. There is more free software than ever, and some of it is even quite good.
Social Media Day shouldn’t be a holiday.
What are we supposed to be celebrating anyway? The weaponization of our technology against us? The phenomenon of smartphone addiction? The degradation of our political discourse?
I’m good, thanks.
Initial impressions of KDE:
Like Cinnamon, it does that annoying thing of having the window menus on a different line then the window title which eats up 1em of screen real estate. Starting to think Unity is the only one that doesn't do this.
My starting impression is to not like konsole, but that might because I'm more familiar with gnome-terminal.
At this rate, I'll end up back on Ubuntu, although I'm afraid I won't like whatever the new desktop looks like.

Ansible fails on an initial run for my Kubuntu box because systemd immediately starts apt.systemd.daily when the box boots up. Which locks the vagrant out from provisioning. :(

This morning, continuing to test out new #linux distros with #vagrant
Updated my VagrantFile for multiple boxes and mounting my host home directory documents/source code.
Now, I've got it set up for:
- Mint (Cinnamon) 18.04
- Ubuntu Bionic
- Kubuntu Bionic
Just need to provision each to play with interchangeably. If I have time, I'll make a new Mint 19 box to replace 18.04.
a quick update on my game added the player sprites #gamedev #godotengine
I don't regret buying Switch but I admit that most of games I played so far were disappointing. Bayonetta 1 and 2 are too chaotic to make any sense (comparing to DMC3), side quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are terribly boring (and characters design is obnoxious fanservice), Golf Story despite the praise is just a 2D golf game, Mario Tennis is quite unbalanced (good luck winning against defensive characters abusing trick shots), adventure mode is lengthy tutorial and swing mode is a disaster.

I shared the kubuntu-bionic box I put together. I feel oddly giddy, even though it really doesn't take much work once I figured it out.
Of course, the United States Strategic Cheese Reserve isn't *really* located in front of the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC.
The orange dome is just a decoy. Since 1947, it's been emplaced in a secure nuclear-blast-proof bunker directly *beneath* the Capitol.
In 1984 the responsibility for managing the SCR was transferred from FEMA to the US Dept of Agriculture under the GOUDA SWISS Continuity of Dairy and Electrodynamic Gravity-field Propulsion initiative.

hey just let me download the fuckin mp3s you clods. i'm not paying 10 dollars for an amazon app
It's the little things that matter in life. Like being a millionaire, having my butler do cartwheels for my amusement. And also my penis.
Got the VM working, then on to a vagrant box! First time I haven't been lazy and just used a pre-built one.
Actually trying to upload it to Vagrant Cloud, but on my DSL line it'll probably take all night.

Compiling things in go and having fun.
Ubuntu 16.04's package for go is way out of date :(

@ekaitz_zarraga Game Programming Patterns was a good read.

I actually have found myself adopting a lot this book outside of game-dev and seems like one of the more approachable texts on the topic.
