Not too bad, but could be better.
A funny story about my not so great love life: just matched with a girl on Tinder which I managed to have engaging text discussions with and it felt quite genuine. This is rare for me, so I was happy about it.
Well, in the end it became obvious to me it was just a pig butchering romance scam when she started to talk about how she can help me invest in cryptocurrency.
I guess I’m going to be a failure in love life for a bit longer lol.
My guess to why the ads are so different:
The firms making the ads are probably completely separate from the developers. Could be just random people from fiverr making the ads. They get barely any gameplay footage, so they just come up with some random gameplay that looks fun in an ad.
I guess the game developers might be some random people from fiverr as well.
As to why it works: no idea. I guess some people just don’t care, and given how cheap these games are to make they probably just need a few people to break even.
Wait until AI start to summarize meetings into email
I might click on some sponsored results in Google search if it was the result I was looking for either way.
Ok, roadside assistance is maybe worth that price, but the rest are just API calls that cost them virtually nothing to operate. There’s no need for them to keep these functionalities hostage behind some roadside service, other than to be anti consumer.
Not to mention that by paying $90 extra you unlock the functionality to remote unlock your car. What’s the justification for this price? There’s no way it costs this much extra.
$59 is still too much to ask for what amounts to just a few API calls to some cloud service.
I want a sex reveal party. Who’s having sex in the bedroom right now? Let’s find out!
Version numbering scenes are also arbitrary. In the case of Linux, the scheme is “Bump up the minor version until it’s too big. In that case bump up the major version instead”.
This assumes a lot about how Reddit works internally. They might just store every edit of each comment forever.
Assassins will be assigned to the assassins assigned to the assassins!
They changed owners or something a few years ago, which means Roman Mars got more time to work with actual podcast stuff instead of being a manager.
99 percent invisible is a good one. It’s about the stories behind things we take for granted in the world. It can be anything between ambulances, country borders and the lyrics of who let the dogs out.
The terminal is a power tool. I can do stuff with it that’s slow or inconvenient with graphical tools.
I really like the piping capabilities of the Linux terminal. Incredibly useful for text processing.
I’m also glad I did it as a hobby before I started viewing software development as a job. No code from me if there’s no money on the table.
KDE Plasma and Gnome are different desktop environments. Kind of like the GUI of the desktop.
Which is best is a matter of taste. I prefer KDE because of its customization options and better virtual desktop support.
TIL not only robots can get addicted to social media
I’m feeling the opposite lately. YouTube recommendations suck. I often open the app/page for the quick dopamine rush, but few of the recommendations interests me, so I just bounce off. For me, YouTube is mostly for long form content nowadays. Something I can put in the background while cooking/doing dishes.
Instagram is turning more and more like TikTok. Sometimes it recommends me something fun (like cat videos), but often it’s just nonsense. So I bounce off quite quickly there as well.
I feel happy about it.

But locking the screen is not the purpose of xscreensaver. It’s mostly just an overlay with animations.
Thanks. I’m content with my own solitude, but I can admit the affirmation I got from this event felt nice, even though it was all stimulated.
