Imho, ‘cheapest’ and ‘useful’ are rarely a great combo for a VPN.

Yeah I never understood why people have this mindset.

Like looking for security, but then buying the cheapest option?

I’m currently helping my nephew with the passing of his dog. He’s under 30, single, and adopted the whole John Wick loner with a dog persona.

Earlier this month, the dog, Itadori, had to go to the emergency room. Two nights ago, they had to cremate the dog. My nephew, a 6’2" meathead who lives a big eat, sleep, gym, work routine, has been crying for the past few days.

His biggest regret has been that he wished he took more photos. For five years, he has only 3 of them. And one came from me.

All I can say to people is - take photos of your pets.

creatively bankrupt as Palworld

Not disagreeing. Their other game, Craftopia, is also a blend of a bunch of mechanics of other games. The small indie Japanese studio is giving people what they want. And I’m rooting for them.

NodeJS has made me a very employable engineer.

I hope that last part wasn’t a joke at PHP’s expense.

I am actually surprised what PHP can do over the past few years. We converted a few critical REST APIs into PHP and it wasn’t just lightning fast, it’s also incredibly readable that we had non-PHP developers convinced it was the right move.

My hammer has solved every problem I’ve thrown at it.

Uh what?

Signal jammers are trackable. If you drive the same routes, the disruption is an easy pattern.

Also it causes other issues (like with medical vehicles/first responders) and is a federal crime. But whatever.

Yes but from a security perspective, that’s like putting your house keys with your photo ID that has your address.

TRUST THE SECURE RAINBOW BUTTHOLE

I can’t stand that old-school WoW combat system any longer. It’s so clunky.

The same way the Resident Evil remakes removed tank movement of the clessics, I want a KoTOR remake that makes this game be more action-y like all the modern online games.

Played the Bounty Hunter storyline and I was really impressed with all the storytelling!

Why is this a MMO?

It’s depressing how much story is in this game, and you have to lug though the nonstop MMO BS to enjoy it.

I was just talking to people about how those who didn’t know Biden dropped out of the 2024 Presidential election must have either the hardest life where they have bigger problems, or the easiest life where they tune everything out.

It’s built off of OSM. Which is how it should be.

You literally cannot search for Mastodon without getting a weird ass 2-paragraph manifesto about The Fediverse.

End users just want to use shit.

This is unfortunately the world of open-source.

1. Nerd tells you to use the open-source thing.
2. Non-technical tries it and asks questions
3. Nerd proclaims it’s not a real problem/your fault/not applicable/fix it yourself
4. Some company takes that open-source version or idea, makes it easier for end users and monetize it
5. Nerd gets angry and repeats step 1

Source: I am nerd and I contribute to open-source.

This is how most Gamer™ outrage is. Lots of sweaty weirdos getting triggered.

These nerds would have called Chess “woke” because the Queen is the most powerful piece.

Guyversity and himclusion, ugh word vomit.

I hate this so much. But knowing myself, Ill end up using it in ironically after a few years.

My favorite thing is Ubisoft blaming something and then gaming companies going, “Uh no? That’s just you.”

In the past decade, game companies have been releasing devs after a game is finished. I have a few friends in the gaming industry, and it’s brutal as a software engineer.
