I’m definitely curious. Browser-switching is annoyingly mentally difficult, though. I keep bouncing between Arc and Firefox, so maybe this is the perfect marriage.

The aprons keep it nice and sturdy. Although now I’m at work and wondering if I added a stretcher along the bottom lengthwise… I can’t recall.

I made this design from Matthias Wandel a few years back, and it has served me well. I had a big piece of laminated MDF that someone left in the garage after we bought our house – perfect for the top. I do with that I had something heavier for when I need to whack a chisel or do some ripping with a handsaw, though.

Yeah, I gave up on Duolingo. I joined a Japanese-English Discord server and feel like my actual conversation skills have gone way up. I’m happy to share the invite link, but I don’t want to seem spammy, so I’ll post it if anyone requests.

Crosscode was such a delight. I found the story surprisingly compelling.

I teach high school, and it’s so hard to get students to pay attention, even with fun engaging projects. The reality is that these social apps are designed to be addictive, and it’s not a fair contest.

Ideally, we want a society in which real estate doesn’t need to be a store of wealth because we have strong social safety systems. I don’t blame an individual with difficult circumstances for playing the game to take care of their family (to an extent).

Yeah. I live in an area with a lot of river valleys, so the signal doesn’t propagate as far, either. I might set up a solar client on top of a nearby ridge to try and build out the mesh.

I set up my first node this week! Not much traffic yet, though.

RetroDECK aims to be an all-in-one solution. No need to mess with the terminal or anything.

It automatically configures the emulators, has a fantastic custom controller configuration, and is very easy to update through flathub/Discover.

No but when I tried to change Mastodon servers, I was frustrated to learn that I could carry over my followers but nothing else. The platform highlighted “easy mobility,” but I found that to be misleading.

I think the biggest problem that Mastodon et. al need to solve is changing servers/accounts. There needs to be an easy way to move servers while retaining past posts, etc.

Yeah, I turn them off in a lot of games. Otherwise I accidentally hit them and trigger some weird effect.

Oh this is absolute bullshit

I think that it’s actually a good thing. If a criminal record disqualified you, it could be easy to cook up bogus charges against a political opponent just to kick them off the ballot. We also have along history in the USA of black folks getting charged with crimes at a disproportionately high rate.

One of my students has been begging me to buy Ultrakill since last year, and I keep saying no just to spite him. Maybe I’ll finally give it a try!

I’ve been excited for this game since the original trailer (I think it was a Nintendo direct). I have a few games to finish first, then I’ll get this.

Don’t forget to turn on captions when you watch! He adds lots of supplemental information.

I definitely put up with shit graphics and potato framerate for Baldur’s Gate 3

I’m surprised by Helldivers. I can’t imagine that it runs very well.
