I began using SMPlayer, which uses MPV, and yeah, it was confusing having to mess around in %localappdata%. But unironically, having to do so kinda prepared me for the switch to linux, what with getting used to using the filesystem.

It's just a happy accident that I had my 15 year old reddit account banned for calling out one of the many karmafarmers on the site. You know, the ones that'll post something, get a bunch of upvotes (who knows if botted or not), then delete said post a couple of hours later. Who am I to tell if there's a botting conspiracy there or not, but so much reposted slop ends up on r/all all the time. Anyway, glad I've, albeit forced, moved on just in time for the site to implode.

Some of the comments on that article made me realise I'm a bit out of the loop: what makes Asahi linux "woke"?
It is sad though that there is so much drama around linux development. It's easy for me to say this, but I do think it's important that there is a switch to a newer language like Rust away from C eventually.

At least it's a floater, means you got enough dietary fiber.

Took me a little while to figure out where to put the .ipk3 file (easiest is ~/.config/gzdoom) but otherwise easy enough to get going using the flatpak version of GZDoom. Installing the regular gamefiles + spear of destiny (from my GOG version) was also pretty easy, but I wonder where one can get Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge 🤔

Either way, good shout, plays excellently, although seems like hitting enemies is harder in this version than the original, at least when they're far away.

Unironically the YT algorithm that pushed me into videos that eventually made me get diagnosed by a professional.

You watch one video about old people reacting to rage against the machine and suddenly all the recommended videos are by "reactors" that make $50k a month doing nothing but watching movies with their mouth open

I mean, I am a dairy man by trade, so.. But I don't know anything about crackers :)

Pointing out nepotism is always be relevant in my opinion.

It is nice to have guard rails like a GUI until you grasp the possibilities, that's how I've learned historically coming from DOS and Windows at least, but you can still mess things up plenty with this tool.

I switched to linux a little over a year ago and went with MX Linux because they have great GUI tools for windows refugees like myself, and because they don't like systemd over there they use cron jobs. Now, having switched to Nobara I've just installed both SystemD Pilot here, but also found KCron, a KDE Cron configuration module which allows for the same functionality as what I'm used to.
If I just want to setup a "when system starts" daemon, is there really any difference in using one over the other? I guess it's possible to shut down services more gracefully?

In any case, great job on this utility.
