What’s the difference? I rarely use Python and every time I do I have to relearn which tools are the go to ones. In Java it’s a little simpler, we really just have Maven and Gradle. They have their own problems, sure, what tool doesn’t, but the thing that annoys me about python is the quantity of tools. There often isn’t a clear winner.

Now, to be fair to python, a lot of the ones mentioned on this post are very specifically for data science use cases and not general purpose development.

I think venv is the best because it’s built in. But I’m also not a Python dev.

No, the dependency management in Python is a nightmare. There’s like a billion options for it.

That’s how swatting works though. They don’t just call 911 and say “send police to this place” lol.

I’m just using Gmail lol. I don’t really do anything with email.

I never got around to using WSL for dev stuff, sadly. I was stuck on Windows 7 until December 2019 and have had a Mac for work ever since. For personal stuff I just use the MSYS environment included in Git for windows (it has bash and a few other things). If I ever got a Windows laptop for work again I’d probably put the time in to learn WSL.

These are three super different things that fill entirely different uses. It’s like asking if you should use a car, a boat, or an airplane. If you just wanna mess around then probably VirtualBox unless you only want terminal stuff to mess around, then you’d want WSL.

I think I beat all of the non optional content in Celeste in non-assisit mode, but a lot of the difficult optional content becomes much more tolerable with assist mode. Even just setting it to 90% speed is amazing. My reflexes aren’t great, and more importantly I don’t have as much time as I used to. I don’t want to spend hours trying to beat an optional challenge. They’re still challenging at 90% speed in assist mode, but they don’t take me hours to do.

Dungeon of the Endless you should try Easy mode because it’s actually the normal mode lol. The easy mode is called Too Easy. Those are the only two difficulties (apart from a different world gen setting thingy).

I think people get too caught up on what difficulty you should play. If you get frustrated, turn the difficulty down. Then, if you get bored, turn it back up.

A game that gets a huge thumbs down from me is Resident Evil Village. I died a lot early on because I didn’t understand the game and hadn’t played a console fps in forever (and there was a graphical glitch making everything grayscale). The game asked me if I wanted to go to easy mode. I finally did. Once I got the hang of it I was ready to increase it back. NOPE! You can only go down to easy mode and then never change it ever. The reason this pisses me off is because are we so concerned with bragging about accomplishments in single player games that we remove useful features? Why? Who cares! I get the same anger towards and rogue like game that doesn’t have a save and quit feature because they’re worried about people save scumming. Oh boo hoo, maybe someone save scummed to beat the games, who cares? Sometimes shit comes up and I need to stop playing. I’d rather not have to throw away a whole run than worry about people saying they beat the game but save scummed their way to it.

BG3 had too much truly random BS I couldn’t account for to justify anything other than easy or normal. Stuff like companions switching to real time from turn based and walking into fights from a stealthy position or not avoiding traps that have been spotted. It’s a fun game but it’s seriously to janky for me to avoid on difficult challenges. If I fuck up, that’s on me, but when my planning is right and the game fucks me over by randomly making a companion walk towards me and lose stealth then why would I want to try to experience a good challenge? It’s just not worth it.

I can’t roll my eyes harder, dude. Just drop it and move on. It’s okay to disagree with people and not try to fucking debate them about it.

It’s mocking the type of people that try to turn anything and everything into some sort of formal debate when it was just a casual conversation then act like they’ve won some sort of argument when you don’t engage.

I love near a microcenter

Boooo, this is just diet accelerationism! Let me have genuine online connections in addition to my IRL ones.

Was it or was that guerilla marketing?

I’ll be honest, DDG has never blown me away and I’ve been using it for roughly 5 years. It’s not awful or anything, but maybe once every month or two I need to resort to Google because it can’t find something. I’m absolutely willing to sacrifice some quality for privacy in the general case, though.

Can you paste as text?

Something tells me you may not have read far enough into this article to get to the good parts.

I randomly scrolled to the right at the end.

If it wasn’t in the experimental stage I’d say openSUSE Slowroll.
