I like the Very Short Introduction series - they’re short non-fiction books aimed more-or-less at educated adults who aren’t so familiar with a topic. And I found their Philosphy book to be worth a read.

It spends some time introducing some common philosophical questions before covering a few classic texts.

Thanks all for the answers! I knew I didn’t do everything, I’ll make note of this one for future playthroughs. Wonderful game, I do feel like I’ll be coming back sometime.

Question - the scene in the thumbnail, of everyone hanging out around a fire - does (or where does) that show up in the game?

I played through recently and don’t remember coming across it. Not sure if I forgot or missed something obvious.

If anyone else was confused by the typo, difficult > default.

I’m not sure what to think. On one hand, yes, Google is of course slimy. But if Mozilla loses it’s big source of funding (and crumbles as a result), that may put things in a worse place?

Then again, it’s a shame that the only major competing browser engine is funded by the dominant browser’s company. Maybe Mozilla can be fine without it?

Love reading about the author’s struggle with find, it really resonates. I have the same terrible experience every time I try to use it.

There’s a more direct version of that, I guess from KDE, called KdirStat.

I hadn’t heard of the one in the op. But if I had to guess, it looks like it’s a different take on the same idea.

I don’t have any better tips for getting involved, but I just want to say thanks! OSS clearly needs help from skilled designers all over the place. Any time someone like you steps up, it’s a good thing. n_n

On Desktop Enhancer for Youtube has this - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/ Though I thought Firefox had Picture-in-picture as a browser feature… I can’t remember since I never use(d) it.

But clearly you’re asking about mobile. No idea if this or any other extension is supported there.

It is really cool! I expected to it to enjoy seeing the machinery in both main parts come together, but I did not expect the surprise 1-2 cameo inside the console.

I just built the NES/CRT set. It was about 2600 pieces - not very big compared to a lot of the serious sets I’m sure. But the only real one I’ve done.

Definitely would do it again! It was very relaxing to take a few minutes out of each day and go through a bag of legos and instructions. I was kinda sad when it finished - the end product is cool, but the fun was really in putting it together and slowly watching it turn into a thing. I mean, I’d enjoy doing it again, but I don’t expect or plan to for any reason.

TWSBI has been good, in my experience, for fountain pens. But I haven’t tried many different brands, just a handful.

Checked this in my state a few years ago, ended up getting like 50 bucks back. Took a while, I forgot about it by the time the check got here. Seemed like the state treasure was happy to have his signature prominently slapped on there.

Jeremy Parish has less than 100k, and constantly puts out great retrospectives on the nooks and crannies of retro game history.

While the Retronauts podcast he’s involved with is well known, I feel like his YouTube kinda flies under the radar.

There are dozens of us!

Yeah, I also wish they’d have better support, but Linux players are not a huge group.

Steam Deck and Steam machines have helped a lot though. Without Valve’s weight behind it, trying to game on Linux would probably be a lot worse.

Yes. Having centralized ownership (to whatever extent) is a concern for sure, but it’s a hypothetical concern in and of itself: “what if the leadership does bad things?” Is different from “the leadership is currently doing bad things.”

Decentralization helps. But if the networks effects aren’t behind it, jumping from platform to platform when things DO get bad is also viable.

Yep, that’s the right train of thought.

I used to also dislike them, due to their limitations vs cash. But eventually realized that I liked having the excuse to go out of town to a fancy restaurant, or splurge on games I might otherwise decide I don’t need right now.

Strictly speaking, cash is better, yes. But gift cards can influence people to do things that might make them happier than typical rational or habitual decisions.

The great thing from their perspective is that even if they can’t make you be onsite, you can still have to work on snow days.

Ew, sorry. This list is similar and more accessible:

There’s a whole bunch of cool modern replacements. Here’s a handy list: altbox.dev

I personally use bat and rg all the time, and find them much more suitable for everyday tasks.

Edit: And to clarify, I didn’t create either list, they’re just ones I’d bookmarked at some point.

I really like that cd command. :P
