Happy birthday :)

I killed two of them while swimming in a nearby lake to day. I’m doing my part

Blender 5.0 already huh? I think I started using Blender at 2.4.x. I think the it took half a decade for the version number to go to 2.7.x. Blender has been developing at an incredible pace since 2.8.

However, since currently the Godot launcher is bundled together with the Godot Engine version and all that updates together, late in development of a project you’d want to avoid auto updates since it may break your project at unfortunate times by introducing feature incompatibilities though feature depreciation or regression bugs that causes issues for your game.

That’s cool. Hopefully it is also safe to make for people and for nature around where it could be manufactured.

Helix is awesome. I’ve spent many hours these passed months configuring both Sway and Helix to my liking, and it has become joyous to use them together. I prefer Helix’s default configs to vim’s. Still got to use Vim motions a lot though, in Obsidian etc. Similar in many aspects, but there are many small things Helix does which I find more logical. u for undo and U for redo. Small things.

Huh. I never really thought about what you wrote about airbnb, but it hit me hard now. My partner actually works for an Airbnb and they have an enormous amount of property and apartments in rural areas which could’ve housed families. And to think there are many more of these businesses doing the same thing.

I rarely use airbnbs, I prefer hotels, so I haven’t done a lot of contribution there but still, this has convinced me to never use one. Unless, the stay is in their house, or in a small house in their garden etc, which I actually have been in some years ago.

I hope I live long enough to experience this scenario.

This is cool. We’re missing this on Linux currently. 3dconnexion haven’t updated their Linux drivers for over ten years. Hopefully someone with the knowhow can make drivers for this one at some point.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll add this to my reading list. I’m currently reading through “the rust book” right now, seems this will be the ideal followup. Also got through a book on data-oriented design recently, then I need to finish reading the book on Bevy, and then I think I’ll be ready to switch to Rust and the Bevy engine. A lot of reading this year, but I can tell I’ll be happy with rust and ECS before long.

Correct, Tumbleweed is the one I started using.

I switched from Fedora to openSUSE recently and it has been painless. Would recommend to anyone who are looking to get away from US companies and US jurisdiction. Edit: note that it uses RPM package manager though, I don’t know yet if that is problematic or not. If someone knows then please elaborate on that.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn this with openSUSE as well last week. It already saved my buttocks once when I messed up something with the greetd config file. Recovering from the latest working snapshot was easy. OpenSUSE is a very nice distro. Bought some merch to support them a bit.

I don’t have this but it sounds pretty rad.

Ah nice. I had made the assumption that this was American based on the name and wrapping. Guess I will give this a try the next time I’m out for some chocolate 🙂.

I just haven’t bothered reading up on what atomic systems are yet. I get the gist of it, just not enought to really understand how it affects my current workflow if I were to switch.

Alright, I think I understood some of those words. Happy to see Sway being worked on. I did a clean install with openSUSEway last week and slowly but surely I’m starting to get it into the state I want from it. Hopefully this will be my final desktop environment.

We probably would not stand to gain much. Our ex-prime minister Solverg is advocating for it because we would have a seat at the table and influence the economy that affects us more. Some economists say it would be beneficial economically for similar reasons, in addition to making the Euro our currency so trading with other European countries would be more stable and predictable, since now you pay less or more depending on how they fluctuate. The Norwegian Crowns (NOK) is not doing so well the past 10 years and there are worries that it will not recover again etc. I like the NOK currency myself. Depending on what business you are in having the crown become worth less could be a good thing.

Yeah, this is frustrating. There already has been a good tool for Windows for a while now called Colour Simulations that I use at work, but I am really wanting for a Linux compatible tool for my home use too.

That’s nice. Will check out this one.
