For things like playing video games, I don’t. I’m okay with switching between games several times in an evening. However, when I’m looking at something to buy I try to recognize when I’m hyper focusing on the thing vs having a long term need/desire for. On those things I try to delay purchasing for a while to let the hyper focusing subside.

So for me it’s not really a case of limiting or restricting, but just delaying. I did this recently with a tool for my workshop. I waited long enough to let the hyper focusing subside but also long enough to stumble on an amazing deal on a really nice version.

PSA: you can also block publishers (and I presume developers too)

When I was working on a password system a few years ago, I found some amazingly bad password requirements. One that stuck with me was it couldn’t contain any two digit years (e.g. 08).

Can I buy 100MM in gold?

Is this accounting for inflated C-suite salaries/stock?

You might want to consider a more thorough wiping of your area code next time. It’s pretty easy to figure out what it is through the scribbles

Every so often I listen to Lady Gaga. I really like a few of her earlier songs but haven’t listened to most of her discography.

I hate that music and gender are somehow connected, but unfortunately that’s the world we live in. Anyone who gives me crap for listening to/doing/etc. “girly” things is a person I don’t want in my life.

Life uh… finds a way

Can you clarify what the distinction is?

When driving don’t be nice. Be predictable.

All hail Blucifer!

• I tried a different USB with a fresh download and got the same error.
• I’ll try a different distro :+1:
• I’m not logged in when I get the error in the photo. That’s what ends up coming up as the live USB boots. It won’t even load into live mode. The only time I was able to get that working at all was with safe graphics mode but it failed to even start the install

The HMS Queen Elizabeth (brand new British aircraft carrier) has this too.

It depends on the context, who is saying it and why. If my manager is trying to say that after I’ve made it clear that I’m not interested in frontend development then it’s insulting. Mostly because my manager isn’t listening to me.

I once asked ChatGPT to generate some random numerical passwords as I was curious about its capabilities to generate random data. It told me that it couldn’t. I asked why it couldn’t (I knew why it was resisting but I wanted to see its response) and it promptly gave me a bunch of random numerical passwords.

The MAX series didn’t go on its first flight with a customer until 2017. These are practically brand new planes.

Are we just doing out of order reruns of the 20th century?
