I always assume the goal is to reduce education, likely increasing criminals who can get arrested and then work as free labor. No matter what it's dumb. Ugh.

I've enjoyed Ultraviolet. I remember seeing a clip of a fan made pokemon game that had a pretty unique art style. I think they remade it unreal 5? It looked nice, but I haven't been able to locate it for awhile so perhaps it either got taken down or was fake.

This clip from Brooklyn 99 uses what I consider to be the only two acceptable pronunciations. The first obviously the silly way, the second the proper.

Thank you. Not sure if comments can be pinned to the top of a thread, but knowing this is real and not just an out of context photo used for propo is important. The fact that it wasn't immediately dismissable is already sad, though.

The Way of Kings. Absolutely loving it, no notes. I got started on Sanderson's stuff with the Mistborn series which I thought was just okay. I enjoyed the overall world building more than what was happening in the story. Storm light, though, I'm enjoying every bit.

Looks it's a wild Caterpie!

I know I could search for this online, but word of mouth is so often superior and it also feels like kinda the point of lemmy...but got any recs for some punk or punk adjacent bands/albums? Particularly recent stuff or old if it holds up to the current climate. I got into RATM around this time last year and nothing else has come close to scratching the itch of "maaaan fuck this shit."

(In addition to the stuff mentioned in your original comment, of course!)

Edit: seems like this thread is building a bit of a list on its own, actually!!

"Kids today - so desensitized by movies and television. WHATDDYOUWAAANT!?"

Something about that fills me with joy every time I see the movie.

I'm wondering what a modern equivalent of damnatio memoraie would look like. Probably not really feasible, but that's just what this guy needs.

Architect here, not a programmer. I've taken Python classes but was never good enough too use it regularly. Using Gemini, I've been able to work through creating half a dozen scripts for automating tedious tasks and optimizing models/drawings. I'm hoping to improve myself so I can eventually make use of it for even more useful things, but as a start it's been awesome. Not perfect, it makes a lot of mistakes, but I've been able to work with it to get things right.

Steam Deck + Moonlight was a game changer for me. Played and beat Alan Wake 2 from my couch and bed. Steam Link had too high of latency for me.

Started with Zorin but had a rough time. I didn't realize until actual months later that my issues were due to a hardware fault and had nothing to do with the OS. By the time I realized, however, I had settled on Mint. I've since tried a handful of distros but always come back to Mint because I'm so used to it now. I do recommend Zorin for its level of polish and apparent desire to simplify the transition for folks coming from Windows.

 

I am a registered architect. As an active contributor to one of the most damaging industries to our climate (construction & building systems), I often daydream about pivoting careers into something more productive for the planet. I'm not talking about stuff like green washing or ~LEED accreditation~. Even sustainably-focused jobs are hard to come by and usually pretty regionally specific. Architects have a broad set of skills, and it's not always clear where I can take those skills and put them to better use.

Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated as I hop into my mid-life crisis before 30.
