That would be beautiful.

Oh I wasn’t kidding with my speculation on that part. The half-life 3 part is over the top silliness, but framework collab is definitely plausible.

Framework + valve collaborating to release half-life 3 as a platform exclusive, confirmed!

Isn’t nfs pretty much completely insecure unless you turn on nfs4 with Kerberos? The fact that that is such a pain in the ass is what keeps me from it. It is fine for read-only though.

It’s clearly intended to be “git tea” given its little cute signin page, “git with a cup of tea”.

But yeah my boss calls it like “git taya” and I feel like an idiot trying to say “gitty”[-up!]

It’s [edit: inspired by although that explanation feels pretty lame to me] Esperanto. The correct spelling should be “Forĝejo”.

Pronunciation is like the English word “forge”. J is pronounced like English “Y”, so “ejo” is a-yo.

IPA: fɔɹd͡ʒejo.

Typst is another one with potential, yep. Still early and it has a ways to go… we’ll see if it manages to take the crown from LaTeX.

I think functionally something like the LyX concept of “what you see is what you mean” is critical, as is the version control (where git is the best option / biggest player)

My opinion… try to set up kerberized NFS and check back.

What. A. Pain.

It did. The thick manuals of the 90s needed to actually document things.

I just ran into a new crop of problems with Linux games.

Apparently Unity 5.4.0 has a bug where it will crash (or rather close the game) if Chrome is running. (Or any Electron app like oh, say … Steam) Kudos to Unity for fixing it, but shame a bunch of old Linux-native games will never get fixed.

OnlyOffice is another shit clone of Office 2007. Fight me.

The problem with Libreoffice is that they are satisfied with being a second-rate clone of the baroque mess that is Office 2007.

Google Docs is the last thing to push the Word Processor forward, kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

I’m pretty sure there’s a viable solution in the git +markdown+latex space but no one has quite found it yet. LyX is close-ish but misses the mark.

The fact that Kerberos and LDAP originated in the *NIX ecosystem and still don’t work worth a shit without Active Directory.

That’s the one good thing to come from Microsoft in 20 years. Maybe GitHub too although it’s getting enshittified now.

Is this just something built in to tinpot dictators?

Nope, we should take what we can get.

Sunflower oil is another possibility.

Interesting that the very similar “… have anything but disappeared” would mean they have very much not disappeared.

I mean the answer is pretty easy: video games generally have a long shelf life and no maintenance at some point after they’re released.

Played a good bit of this last night. Not bad.

Reminds me of Terra Nil, which honestly I prefer— but this is good in its own way.

Yep. Or maybe closer to the top 10-25% based on this articles like this:
