I found that most gift ideas that are somewhat good suffer from being over budget for the kind of relationship I have with the person. Same would be true for most people who might ask me what I want - if it’s that cheap, I probably already bought it myself.

And the sales!

Who asked Gearbox to spend twice the budget on it? Also, many AAA games are way too long these days.

I have a hard time believing that not having enough sex was ever the reason that prehistoric people had too few children.

Fetal alcohol syndrome has to have a huge negative impact on population survivability. I have a hard time believing that even that one one-in-a-million genetic freak superman is able to offset that. Seems more likely that if anything, the general benefits of alcohol consumption (e.g. incentive to settle down into agrarian communities, increased social cohesion) outweight the negative health impacts.

Which distro are you using? AMD has been completely plug-and-play for me.

I hate any insect that’s making noise around me, and with flies you also know that they’re very unhygienic (as opposed to certain beetles that are just kind of loud and annoying, but completely harmless).

I’ll probably die of dysentery. Just because I know modern hygiene rules doesn’t mean I’ll survive interacting with all the other people who don’t but are used to local bacteria and viruses.

Only one of those is actually what I’d describe as “polo shirt and sweatpants” - first one isn’t really wearing sweatpants (and doesn’t have super hairy legs like many men) and the third one isn’t wearing a polo shirt. And yeah, the look might work if you’re fit and at least know how to pick clothes that match (color and fit) both with each other and with the way your body, hair etc. look. But the way you’re describing yourself doesn’t really sound like it.

OP seems to care about appearances a lot, they’re just not good at it themselves.

Thanks, not sure where I got alt+tab from - I think ctrl+tab is actually the more common shortcut for tab switching nowadays.

I’m a programmer and I still use Kate mostly for notetaking and configuration editing. I tend to use other editors like VS Code when I’m doing more involved stuff.

As a years-long Kate user, I’d assume the answer to most of those features is “no”. It’s still mostly a code editor, not an IDE.

Neat. I’ve been using kate as my standard text editor for years, mostly because of the session management and because you can give it a pretty minimalist interface with some configuration (something that similar editors like Geany tend to struggle with). I honestly didn’t know that there was a searchable tab list, I’ve been using alt+tab ctrl+tab (which already has a much better UI than many other editors) but that definitely gets unwieldy when you have a ton of tabs open (which is always … don’t even ask how many browser tabs I have).

That really doesn’t solve the problem, like every other Firefox fork they’re completely dependent on Firefox. You can’t just make a new webbrowser just like that, and while third party developers can certainly disable some anti-features, there are limits to that and they can definitely not do the basic work that the Firefox devs do (or could do, if Mozilla had different priorities).

Ideally it would be financed by user donations. Probably not that realistic for a project like this, though.

Considering how little they invest into their core product compared to all the other shit and how much money the top brass earns despite declining market share, I don’t think they’re hurting for money that much.

Unfortunately, Mozilla is investing a ton of money into AI, too.

e.g. because they actually agree with conservative catholic policies. It’s not necessarily clear to outsiders whether those accusations have any merit.

Damn, I learned something new about myself today!
