Optimistic that they'll "only" cut narcan funding, yeah... it's bleak.

That's optimistic, I'm anticipating systematic execution of drug users. Republicans have praised Duterte's policies in the past.

WebStorm and Rider will have community versions soon, they are going to eat VS Code's lunch.

We definitely have plans, big plans. Big massive contingency plans. Well, I can't really describe them right now, because they're so big. It's really more like concepts, but check back in 2 weeks.

Ah, actually using Outlook like a normal user.

Ha, right? I'm keeping my fingers crossed there is some executive at MS raging and it will get resolved before they force everyone off the legacy version. Surely there are people inside their organization with tons more traffic than I see.

They're doing their best to "improve" excel too... I can't understand how their AI generated cell fill is worse than the old approach.

I've been told the extended time to open is related to how big the outlook database is, I average 200 emails received a day with various alerts and notifications from internal tools and it cripples new outlook in about a week if I'm not diligent with keeping folders cleaned out/emails deleted. This volume wasn't a issue before I switched.

The new outlook has exceeded "garbage" and gone all the way to dumpster fire. It sometimes takes upwards of 15, 30 seconds to open an email. The new auto formatting is a hindrance to be overcome by tricking it to act how you want. Trying to schedule an event across timezones shits the bed half the time, resulting in improper meeting times being sent out. Absolute failure.

I've never been against self defense personally, but never felt I needed one previously.

That sounds very productive, wishing you luck in your pursuits

Ah man, I should buy a gun.

 

My domestic cats seem to locate any open available cardboard box and happily plop themselves into it. This got me thinking, would outdoor cats settle into a random box they find as easily too? What about big cats?

Edit- fixed title

 

I undertook a sizeable upgrade today, bringing a skylake era build into the 2020s with a 13th gen. All core components- memory, motherboard, GPU, everything must go... except the drives. We were nervous, my friend really felt we should reinstall. There was debate, and drama. Considerations and exceptions. No, I couldn't let my OS go. I have spent years tweaking and tuning, molding my ideal computing environment. We pushed forward.

Well I'm pleased to say it was mostly uneventful. The ethernet adapter was renamed causing misconfigured dhcp, but otherwise it booted right up like nothing happened. Sorry, linux is boring now.

I dropped my launch edition steam deck last night on carpet and while all the buttons still worked- something was rattling inside of it. After I opened it up I discovered a missing chunk of plastic from the R2 trigger, that piece presses against another to keep the button from over articulating. I suspect this trigger absorbed most of the impact, there was no other visible damage.

Of course I was upset that I broke it, but so very pleasantly surprised to find ifixit had the trigger in stock and reasonably priced. This availability made me love the deck even more, and really the fact valve made these parts available places the deck above any other competition in my mind.

This machine is built to last, I am so excited to get it fixed and get back to gaming.

 

First play through enjoying this bittersweet moment with best girl Panam
