Of course it was being pulled behind a bike. 😆 Oh Oregon, stay weird!

I use CoMaps on Linux (as well as mobile) and it works quite well. It uses data from OpenStreetMaps.

Ken Jennings is a surprisingly funny internet commenter and author. His books are actually pretty good, I wouldn’t have predicted that 20 years ago.

Harsh but accurate. Without Carrie Fisher to doctor his scripts (and his wife to find the film in the edit) Lucas was a director famously indifferent to dialogue or character.

Reading the names of all those studios that Microsoft gobbled up, I just think how it never should have been permitted to consolidate so much of the industry in the first place.

I kinda love short games, I don’t have time to put 100 hours in every game I buy. I bought this game in part because it seemed like a bit of silly fun, and was priced appropriately.

What have you scored over there? I picked up WallWorld, Oblivion, and Rôki.

I’m enjoying MythMatch, the expanded match 3 gameplay and remixed Greek mythology are really fun!

I also just picked up Thank Goodness You’re Here!, which is delightfully weird.

WeWork was such a fun ride to watch, such a transparently silly company that made stupid money, it never made sense.

OMG this, and the breathless media reporting about that fictional title are part of the problem. Just the dumbest way to run an economy.

Multifamily building in most US jurisdictions already requires fire sprinklers, plus modern firewalls and materials, making them much safer than the old single stair constructions from 100 years ago. Egress concerns are typically addressed via emergency window egress up to 5 stories or so. And as others have said, single stair is the norm in Europe, with good fire safety records.

I forgot about Heroic, I’m checking it out now, thanks!

A lot if people, myself included mainly care about price and drm. So Steam is not something I care about, just price or GOG.

I’m with you. Although if the game is only on Windows, I’d rather be on Steam to make the Linux compatibility automagic.

Booming Music for local storage, with some Bandcamp streaming and occasional YouTube playlists via NewPipe.

Duopoly, then.

Ooh, Mythmatch sounds delightful, I’m downloading the demo to check it out!

It seems like the interesting parts of country music got kicked out by gate-keeping corporate assholes. Americana seems to have collected a lot of the exiles, i.e. Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Jason Isbell, Allison Russell, Gillian Welch, Maren Morris, etc.

I guess Chris Stapleton hasn’t been kicked out of country yet, and he’s pretty good. I thought “White Horse” was an absolute jam.

This article doesn’t mention the limitations of remote access for Jellyfin, which requires some tricks like reverse proxy or Tailscale. I think Jellyfin is a great option if you only watch/listen on your home network, but if anyone wants to replicate the remote access capabilities of Plex, I typically warn them they are going to have to roll their sleeves up.

+1 for the Fables comic series, entertaining and deep storytelling, they were great!

I switched to CubeTrek 2 years ago and have been generally happy with it. I sometimes miss the social aspects, but then I just text my friends and we ride bikes together anyway.
