  • Hmm. I have a bumper sticker that says "I ❤️ Nuclear War". I wonder what bucket that puts me in.

  • I remember it being a big space sink when I was editing video. Now all I have is DVD rips of my collection and those are nice and compact.

  • Yup. I signed up to their unlimited a while ago, so I was happy to not notice this at all. 🙂👍

  • I can't believe how much mileage I've gotten out of my 512GB SSDs on my laptops. And my "big" backup disks are hand me down 1TB HDs my friend didn't need. I don't do video, though.

  • My parents are in their 80s and this crap will push them to Linux.

  • I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It's been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I'm added value.

  • Not that; I just write free books on how to write software.

  • Supporting on GitHub. Just a few bucks a month. It won't take many of us to get to $175/mo.

  • I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won't give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they'd ever see from me from ads. And I've spent thousands of hours on my own dime making written content and giving it away for nothing with no ads or tracking. So yes, I agree.

  • It should never be illegal to link to infringing content in the US. First Amendment should apply if they have any sense.

  • We need a competitor badly.

  • We were there 6 days ago. Mostly fine except they couldn't change the monitor at the gate to show the proper destination. I wonder if it was this!

  • Yikes. Back to Newegg for me!

  • I don't know the details behind it, but it sure takes its sweet time figuring it out. I've let it sit 20 minutes before giving up.

  • Yeah. Under a second to the launcher, and (just timed it) 6 seconds to load and run my existing world.

  • I haven't measured it, but I can tell I'm noticably slower on standard editors than Vim.
