That could get old. But…

I play Pathfinder, by the way.

Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?

Excellent choice. You’re going places!

We accept everyone here*

Hmm. That matches my recent napkin math guessing where they would land.

It’s a little short of what they probably need, but they can always raise prices in a few months.

I like this better.

The threaded conversations allow a useful interesting discussion to continue, even after some random person’s comment details half the participants.

Oh. Good to know. I’ll keep an eye out for that one. Thank you!

You may want to check out the new “One Piece” game on the same engine. It has the same game play loop, interrupted by a surprisingly nicely animated story line.

What’s up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren’t broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it’s still fun to give them a hard time about it.

I expect that’s why the internet’s been falling apart lately.

I’m sure it is.

It’s been interesting to see people not really getting angry about it, yet.

Yes.

At this rate, we will be having a “local files are hard for the average user” debate, here, in another decade.

Which, maybe it will be, at that point.

It’s often the ones we most suspected.

a picture of Reagan with quotes of how Russia is the enemy, and tariffs are bad for everybody.

That’s particularly good.

Oof. Hopefully a security professional will slap some sense into someone before it gets out of beta.

Damn.

Pinkertons on Wikipedia

Wow. Damn.

“Blow up the damn ship, Picard!”

• First Contact

But really, Viola Davis’ entire performance carries the whole film and makes every important moment land.

Yes. Starfinder has planets, and some planets have caves.

Congratulations!

Well said. Particularly

out of a distaste for a harsh and cruel world

I want to respond (with agreement) to:

treat others as you want to be treated,"

• is, indeed silly. It’s meant as an overly simple default to grow from.

Treat others as they ask to be treated is much better.

But I do believe that both benefit from an intentional practice of self-empathy.

I have to constantly remind myself to treat me like I treat others.

I do, as well.

I treat others. I despise myself and have great empathy for others

I said that to myself before, as well.

But I discovered my empathy for others became surprisingly more effective after I started an intentional practice of self-empathy.

but that’s certainly not universal

Certainly. This is what worked for me, and my relationships.

The golden rule does not work. What if I like to be treated like shit?

Agreed. But it is a good default place to we start.

The real skill is empathy - to understand how the other person wants to be treated.

My empathy for others became much more effective after I started practicing empathy for myself.

It was a bit eye opening, to me, to realize how much impact a practice of self-empathy made in my relationships.
