I still enjoy them on linux.

Not really. I tell them it’s like a Black Mirror episode and they give me a sympathetic grimace. Then we talk about something else.

Personally I’d be cutting off contact from him. No point reaching out to someone who doesn’t want to be in touch. He’s also given you an ‘out’ here by disowning you which makes the situation more simple on the surface. Sometimes you need to think about preserving your own wellbeing.

I’m on a local Scottish instance called glasgow.social because the admin is relaxed about free speech without allowing it to become a total cesspool. Almost got kicked off treehouse.systems before I migrated because I suggested political violence was bad - even if left wing people were doing it.

I heard at an old company that being able to read DMs was an extra feature which needed to be paid for, and that my particular company didn’t have it.

That didn’t sound right to me. Especially if the employees could be misusing company property by bullying or selling drugs to each other or something. Surely there would be some legal liability they’d need to cover themselves for?

Probably towards the centre with a tilt towards liberalism but like both in terms of being socially and economically liberal. Ideal government would let everyone do whatever they wanted to until it interfered with anyone else doing whatever they wanted to do.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Berserk (1997), Hunter x Hunter (2011), Ghost in the Shell (movie), Akira (movie), pretty much all of Studio Ghilbi.

Apart from EVA those are fairly good for keeping the creepiness to a minimum. I think Berserk at least contextualises it as being part of a brutal universe in a GoT kind of way.

Kill La Kill is probably the creepiest one I’d still say was good but it crosses the line a few times tbh.

Didn’t think I needed an /s on that statement but maybe I did!

Honestly I do like anime but I have to turn a blind eye to the creepy/ecchi shit in order to enjoy some shows. It’s just a fucked up part of Japanese culture. A bit like how Ignition Remix is still a banger even though R Kelly is a monster.

They are actually 10,000 years old but just happen to have a young body. It’s not a sleazy conceit at all.

Dread is fantastic but they really focused on the action elements of Metroid. This is fine since there are other games that focus on exploration but the stuff it does really well are things like boss fights. The last boss in particular is phenomenal.

SMT4 on the 3DS. JRPG perfection imo. I love the SMT combination of monster collecting and Fallout type post apocalypse.

I’m the same age as DOOM

Point Break would be my pick too despite the fact the early 90s had many sensibilities that look more like the 1980s to us now.

I used to work in adtech and the most we could do was track locations. Even that didn’t work properly for our purposes because most shops are in malls where several different stores co-exist on the same coordinates. It only worked for outlets in retail parks which were separated from one another.

Yes, you’re right, from my understanding nothing is in the kernel. Was more referring to the “re-write in rust!!” meme but admittedly that’s a strawman.

UB is only one class of error you can get in a big, complex program. Re-writing functionality opens the door to every other potential class of error too.

I liked the approach the kernel devs were taking where rust modules were being integrated without the ‘core’ code being touched. I think people who want a complete re-write of everything (if they exist outside of my convenient straw man) are probably better off starting a fresh kernel project.

You seem like a much more accomplished player in the game than me but I’ve found that the lightweight builds seem to have a general advantage in terms of most mission rankings.

You can take solace in that fact you got a medieval King’s disease though!
