Companies like to slap subscriptions on everything; I think in many cases, they are hurting themselves. I probably would be okay with paying $1 for the service I needed, but then they offer $1/year. Nope… I pass.

A lot of timeless art was made during the artist’s struggles, in poverty. The Starry Night by van Gogh was created while he was in an asylum; Don Quixote was written from prison. I don’t feel we should intentionally put people in struggle to benefit the rest of humanity. Let peop…

2 years ago, Vladimir Putin started a special military operation in Ukraine. It is still going. 😞

I tried Palworlds for 10 minutes, but my frames were really bad (about 10 FPS). I think it is because I have 3 GPUs and Linux, so the game got confused.

You know, I mentioned we have all the necessary tools to just focus on making products. Can someone smart distract from saving humanity and spend some little time making shader compilers faster, please?

Do you know that emacs has a better version of man pages? It’s called woman.

I think one of the facets of Richard Feynman’s brilliance is his ability to explain phenomena directly using normal human language; he explains things in simple terms, and at the end, he just mentions casually: BTW, this thing we call superposition.
I found that sometimes I get …

I never needed glasses; Now I need reading glasses. It is such a pain, they dig in my nose bridge, dust affects the optics, it is hard to clean them, I cannot touch my face. I cannot wrap my head around of the fact, for the rest of my life I have to deal with it.

It is below my paycheck. I’ll happily do it. 🙂

App developers cannot be wrong: X Window System, Xbox, Xcode, macOS X, Xerox, Xfinity, xfce, x86, xz, excel. We must use ‘X’ in the product name. More ‘Xes’ is better. How about measuring the size of the company by the number of ‘Xes’? Triple X tech firm Tesla… 😛

If you need a virtual monitor for your Quest under Linux, you can use Immersed https://immersed.com/. It is not FOSS but has a free as beer option. It’s just a regular app on the Oculus app store, no need to switch to developer mode, no need to install Side Quest, no need to bu…

Did you see the famous writer’s meltdown about Twitter? I think it would be funny if Elon Musk buys Microsoft and renames Windows to XWindow. The nice thing is he doesn’t need to rename Xbox.

I remember how I started playing Minecraft about 10 years ago. I died a couple of times from zombies; I decided to switch to Peaceful mode. I learned how to make glass and built a house out of it. After this, I made a small swimming pool. And I went to sleep and dreamed about wal…

I would probably be happy to delegate the performance review to the AI. I really do not like writing my self-review and providing feedback about my manager. And now we need to do this stupid R&D tax thingy.

I need to check at some point at Damn Small Linux https://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
For my game, I need some distribution with bash, vim, emacs, and g++. G++ is the tough part; it’s quite big.

man console_codes I do not need the internet either. Wut, wut?
I put the Internet upside down, chasing console codes and ESC sequences. And they are in the man page. LOL

BTW, I figured out the collision issue. The Poseable Mesh Component does not have collisions anymore. It has all flags and settings but they do nothing. They have an explanation for that, but I did not get it. I think it is just bad programming. Anyways, the Skeletal Mesh Compone…

The snap version of Slack does not work with my setup, something is broken with the studio’s 2FA. I need to make the RPM version of Slack work. Here are the steps, so next time when I need to update Slack, I can find it here.
Download the RPM from the Slack website. Currently, i…

I realized I don’t have some certain basic cables, for example just vanilla USB-A to USB-A. All different Zoo of cables, lightning to USB-A, USB-C to USB-A, some exotic ones like USB-C female to USB-A, some ancient ones Mini-USB to USB-A, some old ones Micro-USB to USB-A. I put …

TIL; I never noticed before that processes in Linux are 1-based. Wow! Actually, there is a process with a 0 PID but it is not listed, and init and kthreadd are children of that 0 PID process.

After last year’s LastPass incident and spending a week changing 400 passwords, I switched to Keepass. At least if something happened, the blame would only be on me.

I am going to get back to more active Twitch streaming. I feel like I forgot how to talk, and streaming will help me maintain that skill. 🙂

Hey, I have a very important question to address: does bunny hopping work in Minecraft?

Can someone invent candies that taste like candies, smell like candies, feel like candies, and also heal tooth cavities, keep you in shape, and maintain a moderate level of insulin?
