Yeah, kind of a bummer. There are some cool ideas that have been implemented in nostr, but everything has that bitcoin/zap hussle.

Slightly off topic, but it feels cyberpunk to me in a way. In those stories, everybody always has their own bespoke technology stack:

NullVoid added the traffic cam feed to his HUD so he could make his deliveries faster"

That sort of thing. In the stories, it makes you think that everyone is just some sort of genius, but we're kind of heading there where anybody can, theoretically, create a personalized tech stack with the help of a programming agent.

I haven't put a lot of energy into it, but your first paragraph triggered that thought.

I am, too, and it got me thinking... why? And I realized that I've tried to be polite in all my interactions my whole life and I'm not going to practice being terse and commanding for a few pennies worth of tokens.

Apocalyptic safety is just a bonus.

UT99 was the first real FPS experience I had. My friend invited me to a LAN party (also first time), and the whole thing was mind blowing.

People all over the house shouting and laughing.

I have a distinct memory of someone attempting what you just described, but my friend just happened to be ready and he sniped the redeemer right as it was shot. Big explosion and nothing left of the player but a scorch mark on the building. I laughed myself to tears. Good times.

The game Grounded almost has that feel, but it's open world.

There's another game called Hypercharge:Unboxed that is definitely giving me the feeling of those old UT maps, but I haven't actually played it.

This is also my theory. For children, lots of stuff in their lives is new and noteworthy, so they're making new memories all the time. Therefore, time seems slower because they have so many data points to refer back to. I'm nearly 50 and so much of my daily life is routine and definitely _not _ noteworthy. The memories I form are much more sparse. Therefore, time seems to fly by, because there are much fewer data points to reference.

Could you explain that just a bit more? I'm trying to figure out how to adapt my personal workflow to jujutsu and this is the part that confuses me.

I think it's me not understanding the difference between "jj new" and "jj commit", but I'm not sure.

I'm a big fan of the staging area for crafting clean commits, so this would be super useful for me to understand.

I'm a fan of the "aliens are demons" and "the water is holy" (you know, because he's a priest) interpretation.

It's a stretch, but makes the water fit into the story better (in my opinion).

I flew from Ramichaap to Lukla (Nepal on Tara Air) earlier this year and GND PROX was flashing on the screen the entire time. I thought it was funny and took a photo. The terrain and flight path don't really get you to a safe altitude above the ground.

Sort of! https://thevirtualfoundry.com

Not directly extruding it, but the end result is metal.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but timers ("hey siri, set a timer for 10 minutes") is the most common thing I use a voice assistant for. Works great, though.

Yerba mate is my caffeine of choice and I suggested it to my Dad who gets bad migraines. He claims that when he feels a migraine coming on, he can drink a can and it will result in a mild headache instead of forcing him to lie down in a dark room for hours.

I don't know if they were stock sounds, or just lifted from the game, but so many bad shows use the police radio and fire engine siren from SimCity 3000.

I, personally, would find this very helpful if git did it by default. I learned git by searching for "how do I?" stuff. Now I know how to do things, so I don’t go looking. It's possible that there are new and improved workflows, but I'll never know because it already works for me, even if I do it "the hard way".

I'll be honest, having lots of stuff in github is convenient for looking for projects. Like, I need something that does X, and search engines offer the same results for pages and pages. Searching github directly is a lot easier.

Is there a way to search multiple public repos at once? Github, gitlab, sourcehut, codeberg, etc
