I know of this largely abandoned project: https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui

I believe that while steam has public APIs for most stuff there’s no way for a 3rd party client to provide DRM authentication, so the majority of games will not launch unless you also have the official steam client installed (note that steam does have a cli client)., rendering any 3rd party apps either simple wrappers for steam or severely limited.

there’s plenty of “ugly” games here’s some I’ve played recently that came out this year:

• UFO 50: A collection of new games in the style (mechanically and visually) of the 8bit games. 8 bit graphics
• Balatro: A GOTY nominee, it’s a roguelike that is extremely loosely based on poker. modern pixel art style static images
• Children of the sun: a puzzle game where you are a sniper that bends and deflects bullets to kill whole rooms of people with 1 bullet. Graphics are pretty imo but not advanced.
• Echo Point Nova: a movement focused shooter. games plays on a potato. There is technically a a ray tracing option, but I think it’s more of a future proofing thing/a personal interest of the dev.

I like to use it when I’m reading, I’ll set it to move at my reading pace and then I don’t have to touch anything to read the article.

Does worst mean:

• least able to achieve their stated agenda, ie worst at their job. (Trump)
• worst vision for America, ie most evil (Reagan)
• worst overall impact to America, ie one you’d kill with a time machine (Bush Jr, but Trump might catch up in term 2)
• Worst for the world, ie the one I’d kill with a time machine (Washington)

Although I’m not American and don’t know your history that well.

I see some value in this fairly common interaction:

• Person 1: So for bug-1234 I did XYZ and saw ABC
• Person 2: ABC? I see ABC when I do XYZ for bug-1235! They must have the same root cause, I’ll mark mine as a dupe of yours and move on to bug-1236

I want youtube to fail. I want content creators to move on to other platforms.

I use nebula and a handful of other platforms. But of course most creators are exclusively available on YouTube.

If you want YouTube to keep existing, you should pay for it. That’s why I use adblocker.

Really? All of those are email or texts for me. Genuinely can’t remember the last time I recieved or sent a genuine phone call.

Yeah probably. If you told me in 2013 that reddit would go to shit in 2023 I would not really do anything different. Knowing bluesky will go to shit wouldn’t really change anything (if I was a fan of the Twitter format) either.

the truth is often boring, but thanks

I find it funny that apparently conspiracy theorist directly translated from german is “very wrong theorist”

Yep

It’s unclear what countries this poll includes, having minimum paid leave is the law in most of the world. There’s also quite a few careers that involve forced time off.

Funnily enough, Sinclair is a common name that came from Saint Clair.

A Giraffe’s shoulder height is like 8 to 13ft, no way ms.curly is only 5’11

Barring any global events probably. I am quite fortunate.

To start with me and my wife are both sw engineers.

I earn some nice big company stock, from when I started to 5 years later it’s 10x’d. I was a few years late to really hit jackpot but I still made a lot and will hopefully continue to gain. My company also matches the first 6% of my rrsp (a 401k for canadains) and I contribute 8%. I also have a maxed tfsa.

I am a pretty aggressive budgeter so I make sure we spend below our means and build uo other savings as well.

There’s a bit of a “problem” at my company where many of the senior staff basically have blank cheques because only they understand the overall architecture. I hope to also end up in this position. I knew a guy that worked 2 half days a week for at least 2x my salary with vacation time to boot. All he did was answer questions for a few hours then go home.

I bought a house during a panic price drop in 2020 got a really cheap price and then sold it for a huge profit and bought a run down duplex that is a bad investment property but a good place to live for my polycule (in a super walkable neighborhood to boot!). I plan to die in This house. I got what will probably be an all time low interest rate of 1.7% and have been paying it off faster than necessary. When it renews next year at 4-5% I will hopefully keep the same monthly. If my monthly doesn’t grow above that then I’ll be pretty on track to have it paid off before I turn 45, giving me more money to save and also lowering the amount I need a month.

If interest rates go down or me/wife gets some nice promotions or my company stock does another big climb then kids might even be on the table.

Where I live you can either use those cornstarch types or paper bags (very similar to yard waste bags). I like the paper bag for the big bin that goes in the roadside, but cornstarch ones for the one in the kitchen that only sticks around a day or two. Perhaps raise the idea with your local council.

I prefer curbside system because it is able to accept many things that my at home compost can’t handle like dog shit, meats and those biodegradable “plastics” that need industrial facilities. Also apartments.
