That PowerPoint Prez at the end of the review hit me hard. I have this game pre ordered because I love Mothership and Nausicaa, but I didn't get deep into the PDFs because I much prefer reading my RPGs on paper. This might make me run this game next, as soon as me and my players get tired of the scifi horror tropes.

Do you need a DE? I use sway and a few kde apps (konsole, okular, gwenview, dolphin) + firefox and thunderbird, I wouldn't call that a DE…

if you want i3 but on wayland, you could try sway. It is exactly that, you can even reuse most of your i3 config file.

Can't you set it back to sending you a text with a code to input back? That's what I'm doing with my bank, my dumbphone is on its way.

Oh God, I remember the monthly format C and reinstall windows xp, followed by the dreaded service packs installation. That was how I fixed problems.

When you spent time tinkering on your linux box, at least you usually learn some piece of knowledge that can be applied later on.

When you tinker and debug something on windows, you usually have little idea of what went wrong and can derive very little from the experience. At least that was the case back when I still used windows, in the XP and vista days.

As a Mastodon instance admin that did the blocking properly only yesterday, I can tell you this list appears to be automated and accurate.

I'm French. I'm not aware of any other language that radically modifies the meaning of verbs with propositions in such a way.

As a foreigner, you might expect that break up and break down have opposite meanings because up and down do, but nope.

I use debian at work, but for various reasons I use my own laptop for work. Couldn't stand the old MacBook they had for me.

So no, I never switch back to being a normal user.

My biggest gripe as a non native speaker is phrasal verbs.

Unless you know exactly what they mean, you are screwed. You can't decypher them, there's no link between the meaning of the component parts and the phrasal verb.

As my English teacher used to tell us jokingly: you should never say: "I get on with my brother, but I get off with my sister".

The French state is a bad actor already.

You live in the US I presume?

Here in Lyon, France, the local government is removing car lanes downtown so we get wider bike lanes. Some are not happy about it, but if you look at the number of people passing through at rush hour, cyclists really outnumber cars, and bike traffic is never jammed.
