Sandustry is so much fun. Even in the demo there is a healthy number of mods and a custom map loader (and they work in Linux).

Tax the rich and keep the open space open.

Our local utility has a lot of programs to give you advice based on measurements in your own home. Getting a free or reduced cost home energy audit is a good way to start.

That's a shame. Asus used to be a great vendor for less bloat. This is just crazy.

I would not be surprised if the outcome was just guard rails for Disney properties.

It looks like they announced 3 months ago that google was going to develop android 16 in private and then publish to ASOP after the release (still with the apache license). Not great news. Especially if you are developing something like grapheneOS and have to wait for updates. Is this different?

My guess is that they are being nefarious by putting text only in images. Or even dumber, they may have done A/B testing and seen a lot more of their emails have read receipts if they put text in images.

They use images loaded on servers to determine which emails have been read.

Many users know this. Email providers know this. So there is a common feature for not loading images in emails.

Honestly I started this thread thinking I'll post any annoyances and surprises I come across using Linux, but for now it just works and the only surprise I ran into is my printer finally working again after Windows decided it would not print using it ever again.

It isn't realistic if it doesn't have fence posts. So I would dive deeper toward the cleaner version. It does look realistic from the outside of a fence. So I don't think it is triggering for fencing realists out there.

This is really hard for me and my kids. I love it when they ask "why" because they want to know something. But I hate it when they ask "why" because they just want to debate something I told them to do. "You have to wear sunscreen". "Why?". "The same reason as yesterday!"

Brenterance!

I am confident enough in my masculinity to compliment your deck. That is a nice deck.

Same. I play DnD and I wanted to get into it. I just don't have the motivation to get involved. I think I could. And I would probably enjoy it more with friends.

Heck of a car wash.

A neat trick I've seen is to put the first letter in brackets in the grep search. So:

$ ps -al | grep [p]ython

That will match "python" but not the grep.

Then there was an era of printed out mapquest maps. That lasted a while.

I had a windows cell phone for a bit that could get mapquest. But I was too cheap to pay for data.

The iPhone changed that because they made data mandatory and cheaper. I only suffered through one iPhone.

When I was a teen (late 90s). I was driving in downtown Denver and we were lost. I asked the driver next to me at a stop light. He didn't know it.

At the next stop light, he handed us a folded map through the window. He said to keep it. He had others.

That's what I remember before gps.

Thanks to @v1engineering.bsky.social for letting me fill his booth with a sand table and talk about sandify.org.
