7 Days to Die. It's an incredibly underrated game. I'd describe it as Minecraft, but for adults.

For best music I nominate: The Settlers 2, Total Annihilation, and World of Goo.

Thank you! It's a bloody miracle!

Yaml is pure evil with utterly useless syntax checking.

Ever tried maintaining a Swagger file using yaml?

I'm never touching that shit again.

You should have a look at Sebastian Lague's programming videos on Youtube. He models various things (eg: predator/prey/ant colonies, slime growth) using a few very simple rules. They're just beautiful. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-iSQQgOd1A

Lenovo is renowned for their excellent linux compatibility. I'm sure you'll get a bunch of proponents here saying the same.

BUT, having used various models of thinkpads in recent years, their inconsistent keyboard layouts will drive you absolutely insane. I swear, at this point they're just fucking with us.

I've got one in pieces somewhere, that has/had the ~ key next to the FN key on the bottom row! How the fuck are you supposed to use Linux if you're ~ key is down there? It's fucking stupid.

And the latest work-issued recent model is fucking with me again! It has the FN key ON THE LEFT SIDE of the Ctrl key on the left. Who does that? The Ctrl is always the left-most bottom key. Now, every time I fucking go to press Ctrl+something, I end up hitting FN instead.

Fucking morons! At this rate this laptop will also end up in pieces.

So, tldr; Stay the fuck away from Lenovo if you want to use Linux.

Don't need API access to scrape data. That's the whole point of scraping - you're indistinguishable from regular traffic. Nitter could even impersonate a Google search crawler if they want.

Will do, cheers!

[–] l3mming@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Awesome, cheers. Really appreciate it.

Right, you've already convinced me. How and where do I start? Can you recommend some links/resources please?

Yeah, I was having a whinge about it here the other day. Just a sec while I dig up the corpse...

Systemd* removes choice*, and it was designed to do so. That is why there is so much anger. It is bad software design, by design. It flies in the face of the core linux principles, all in the name of homogenising the linux ecosystem, and you know exactly which big corporations benefit from that.

The simple fact is: today, if I want to run a mainstream distro without Systemd, I cannot. Its cancerous tentacles run so deep that decoupling it from a mainstream distro, and keeping it decoupled, is a full time job.

Instead I have no choice but to run a smaller, less featured, less secure and less funded alternative. Good luck getting Gnome to work without systemd.

Full credit to Devuan, MxLinux, Artix, and the other united underdogs.

Fuck you Redhat/IBM and your proxy evil-doer Lennart.

But if you want to read more about how why others hate systemd, there's no shortage of material:

Right, that's it. I'm going back to Reddit
