Mark Lawrence - Prince of Thorns. Loose fit but it scratches that itch for me anyway. Maybe it will for you too.

It's not you. There are many things you simply cannot do in the settings app.

Steam tells me about new releases that are in my area of interest. I'm mostly into multiplayer games so there are a few of us who keep an eye out and talk about upcoming games and stuff so it's not just up to me.

My wife once sat in the room for a very long time before someone came to prep the room for the next patient...

Really common. Hard for many of us to not do this. It's the same when you're in technical support; people lie about the circumstances because they don't want to look bad in front of the techie. Or doctor. Or dentist. Or mechanic.

I enjoy your comment so much because your methodical and patient approach to debugging code is exactly what's required to fix a printer. You literally are really good at computers even if your aren't armed with a lot of specific knowledge. It's the absolutely worst because troubleshooting without knowledge and experience is painfully slow and the whole time I'm thinking"they know so much more about this than I do! If they'd just slow down and read what's on the screen ..." But many people struggle to do even basic troubleshooting. Their lack of what you have makes them inept.

The main improvement Rust provides is memory safety. It's very easy to make mistakes in C where you could overrun a buffer or something, introducing unexpected crashing and making it vulnerable to exploitation by malware or whatever. Rust eliminates a whole category of issues with their clever memory management paradigm. The improvements in this schedule probably have more to do with the strategy used than code efficiency.

I was honestly excited about the new Settings when Windows 10 arrived. I was a Windows sysadmin for more than a decade and am intimately familiar with control panel and think it sucks. I hoped Settings would modernize and streamline. But here we are, so many years later, and many common tasks still lead us to control panel. Such disappointment.

I started on kbin. The content I was enjoying was all from lemmy.world so when I ditched kbin I just came over here.

I think the best way to moderate gaming addiction is to be deliberate and disciplined about your goals. I love gaming and don't want to be interrupted, so I try to deal with responsibilities first, to get more enjoyment out of an uninterrupted gaming session. Make hard rules for yourself. You want to be fit? Work out before gaming. You don't even need a great workout routine; consistency will get you there. Use your drive for gaming to reach your goals. That's my opinion
