I’ve been rewatching the series (…again, for like the seventh time), and it really is excellent at filling in the missing details regarding how Anakin fell from being a hero of the Republic.
I just hit season 3 with the Mortis episodes. They are * chef’s kiss * excellent episodes.
I really thought that Rebels followed a similar trajectory to The Clone Wars in that the first season was good but not great, but then the seasons that followed were fantastic at world building and character development.
Well, no offense intended, but that is cynical. The only way for enshittification to hit Linux would be if only one group controlled it. When IBM/Red Hat discontinued CentOS, the community immediately moved to fill the gap with AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux.
That said, yes, things can always get worse. I don’t think Linux is immune to having problems, but not on the scale of what’s happening with Windows with their Copilot garbage.
The 60s and 70s (for me) had no awareness of my problems. Only now am I discovering that I did what I could, but I wasn’t equipped to deal with people well....
That’s not oversharing. That’s just adding detail.
It’s okay to have made mistakes, and it’s definitely okay for not being able to be perfect. No human is or can be. What’s important is that you’ve chosen to be better going forward.
That advice about self forgiveness the other user gave you was excellent. I still need to work on that more, but I know from experience that it’s an important thing to practice.
Well you have to account for Riker’s “dating” programs running on the Holodeck at all times due to his excessive privilege as an unelected official of the Enterprise. He gets away with it because he deemed it a critical life support system. That alone counts for half of the energy usage of life support.
At this point, making something that doesn’t work using Wine or Proton is actually kind of an achievement, so congrats EA, you managed to fuck up both Origin and EA app. The actual game runs flawlessly, it’s the launchers that are all kinds of broken.
What viruses do you think you’re going to catch on a Linux host? Nobody is packing Linux viruses into torrents so they might affect the < 1% of people who download it.
I mostly pay for games, but this is a really dumb take.
Perfect security is impossible. It’s always a trade off between convenience and assurance. Can you be 100% certain that the official source of software hasn’t been compromised? Remember CCleaner for Windows? It was distributing malware at one point.
I cannot purchase certain games any longer, for instance Outrun 2006. A downloaded copy is the only reasonable option. Purchasing a used copy doesn’t benefit the rights holder, so I don’t bother.
Take reasonable steps to limit any access the program would have - scan files, use a separate limited-rights user, a sandbox, etc. - and live your life.
Right, agreed. I basically just said that last part to someone else.
The problem with seeing danger in every shadow is that you’ll never feel safe is safe enough. There is only so much a person can do to protect themselves, but there comes a point where you’ve made everything so inconvenient for the sake of security that you can’t just live your life. Take reasonable steps and don’t worry beyond that.
And to Grant’s point, the next day, you’ll feel like you can take the afternoon off to take the kids to the park or enjoy a bike ride on the beach. This is what having a healthy, productive life looks like. You work your butt off first, and then take time to reward yourself later.
If that time off is approved and not caught in the typical bureaucratic corporate time off request processes.
If you have the time off to use.
If you aren’t rewarded for your competency by being given additional work because your coworkers who can’t hit that “Flow” state are just allowed to be that way.
