Qbittorrent, plex or jellyfin and if you're into it, the arr suite for automation, all configured in a single docker compose file. It's beautiful. But I don't know if it's as nice under Windows (if that's what you're using). For Linux it's definitely super nice

Thinly veiled Rupert Murdoch?

Bah, 007 did it 27 years ago.

I really wanted Megalopolis to be good, but I never had high hopes for it. I'll probably still watch it eventually because it has a bunch of actors in it that I love + I'm a sucker for future megacities in movies and games (I'm still not over the fact that they cancelled the Star Wars game that was supposed to take place on the lower levels of Coruscant)

That was just a bad ordering of words in that sentence. He failed to get re-elected and then a few years later he and his wife started building houses for the needy.

I'm a foreigner NOT living in the US, so my opinions may or may not be valid, idk:

Musk, asshole as he may be, is an example of something that's always been going on in the US:

Immigrants come there looking for better lives, work hard, and many lead exceptional lives. The US has always benefitted from this, and it's a key reason for its' economic dominance over the last hundred-ish years.

However, he wants to close the door after him because other people improving their lives scares him. And people voting for slightly more humane conditions scares him too. Think about it, he'll have fewer billions added to his net worth if he has to treat his employees like people.

He's simultaneously a symbol of everything that's amazing about the US and also of everything that is horrible about it.

Ah yes, pesky immigrants not voting for Musk's favorite candidate

Love how it's styled to look like a gas station price list

The underlying issue is that nobody wants to develop using any of the available cross-platform toolkits that you can compile into native binaries without an entire browser attached. You could use Qt or GTK to build a cross-platform application. But if you use Electron, you can just run the same application on the browser AND as a standalone application.

Me? I'm considering developing my next application in Qt out of all things because it does actually have web support via WASM and I want to learn C++ and gain some Qt experience. Good idea? Probably not.

At that point you're running some sort of server on it probably.

For which, it's not even the most cost effective hardware tbh. There are X86 based tiny PCs for good prices used

Because I don't want to buy it off Uplay

Oops I thought it was a Ubi title because everyone was discussing it under the AC article the other day

Ready to save money

Yeah right, I doubt that person was going to buy the game anyway lol

Me, I don't care about any of this, but with the recent announcements from Ubisoft (Steam release on day 1, no more season pass for new Assassin's Creed, etc) I'm a bit more optimistic towards their leadership direction and given how much good I've heard about the first Ghost game, I might just get this one if it works well with Proton.

 

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the issue of making excuses for everything. I don't just mean excusing your unfinished chores by saying "I have ADHD", I mean excuses and fabrications in general - at work, you might say you're nearly finished with a project, but really you're halfway done at best, at home you might say you couldn't start the dishwasher because of how angry your pregnant wife was at you for choosing the wrong program on the washing machine, so you were scared to start the dishwasher - fully ignoring the fact that you were supposed to start the dishwasher BEFORE even being confronted about the washing machine. The last one is a stupid example, but it happened an hour ago and it's a pattern I hate about myself.

If you've had a similar issue and identified it, what has helped you improve yourself? I may never be perfect to the point I'll get everything done that I need to, but I'd like to at least stop making stupid excuses that just bring up fights that could've been avoided.
