Every time I pirate a ubisoft game I regret it, I never play more than maybe an hour with them and then I have to seed them to get > 1.0 ratio (private site rules). So I just stopped pirating them lol.
Honestly had slight hopes for Avatar because the art team really outdid themselves, but I knew in the back of my head that the actual game would be shit.
Agreed. It will take a second to unlearn the muscle memory but separating it was a good idea.
I disagree, I think it’s always just about money. Power hungry-ness comes from the fear of losing your current position, the fear of not advancing and getting left behind. With power they secure the position they have. And it’s not just exclusive to the rich. You can see the exact same pattern in a random fucking McDonald’s.
If it was more profitable (and possible) to automate 40% of work at any given company (the ratio Gates said in this article), everyone would do it in a heartbeat.
In my country (in the EU) usually if a service charge is added on top of the order, it’s because that particular place doesn’t accept tips.
I absolutely do not care, storage is cheap. If it means the game has more & higher quality assets I’m all for it. An extra SSD or two never hurts.
Except if you’re an employer in a very small company.

And of course each teams instance uses 2gb ram each because they’re very badly optimized electron apps.
I’ve learned excel in middle and high school in my native language, I absolutely fucking hate the translations… excel-translator.de coming in clutch.
That’s not necessarily a lenovo specific thing, windows can update bios if enabled (has been enabled by default of every modern windows device I own). When vendors push a new bios to the update catalog it’s going to get automatically installed by default. Look for a setting in the security panel of the bios to turn this off, can’t remember exactly what it’s called.
I feel you. The cable, adapter and usb hub market is fucking atrocious. Specifications are often inaccurate or insufficient. I’ve had so many headaches because of this, but at least we have a 14-day obligatory return policy in the EU.
You don’t understand, that’s for your protection so you can feel safer and even more freedomery
The consistency of when you eat (or the lack thereof) plays a bigger role in this than the diet itself, although it’s known that heavy meals in the evening can disrupt sleep.

Zorin OS became my favorite distro, tried a lot over the years. Consistent, clean design and pretty easy to customize, compatibility is good because it’s based on ubuntu. Zorin connect is pretty neat too.
The underlying problem is the same, it just became more accessible to copy code you don’t understand (you don’t even need to come up with a search query that leads you to some kind of answer, chatpgt will interpret your words and come up with something). Proper use of chatgpt can boost productivity, but people (both critics of chatgpt and people who don’t actually know how to code) misuse it, look at it as a “magic solution box” instead of a tool that can assist development and lead you to solutions.
Learning vim motions in VSCode with the vim plugin was the best decision I made this year. Made programming even more fun and after a year of learning I actually feel that I finally reached a point where I’m a lot more productive. I set up neovim too, but I’m missing some things to fully switch from VSCode and I have to research my options (git integration and debugging are my pet peeves), which I haven’t had time for lately.
Search results have gone to shit since everyone and their mothers started doing this SEO-optimization bullcrap. Google obviously has no reason to fix this situation because it makes them more money when people spend more time looking for something. site:reddit.com was one of the mitigators for this problem…
I’d gladly ditch search altogether and use ChatGPT + browsing support, but that’s similarly dogshit because it’s working off of SEO-optimized bullcrap results too.

LPT: have your last meal 16 hours before your breakfast. It’s going to reset your cycle in one day and you’re going to be able to go to bed and get up more easily the next day.
For example if you want to wake up at around 8am, eat dinner at 4pm, set an alarm at around 7:45 and eat breakfast at 8am.
Also what everyone else said are good tips to keep a consistent schedule, what I said is more like a soft reset, but you gotta practice not using screens at night, not drinking caffeine / not using nicotine (or any other stimulants that disrupt sleep) in the evening.
I do the same, kind of but I paste them in word and format them nicely, based on my mood. Today I made a very nice initial of my npm publish command, it looks really nice.
