Unironically Powershell is great and learning it has propelled me through the last 12 years of my career as a Sysadmin. My biggest complaints with it are generally Windows complaints or due to legacy powershell modules.

Performance was 'okay' on my RTX2080 but I had to return it because the EA launcher was breaking steam controller input which made it unplayable.

It's clear that Valve's competitors undervalue the user experience that Steam provides and don't understand why it's so sticky.

If magic was real, expert magic users would not trust it at all.

"Haha yeah I mostly do transfiguration magic but I do some evocation too occasionally. No I don't eat any transfigured food or do any of that at home or anything honestly I'm surprised it works at all."

My shitposting will make AI dumber all on its own; feedback loop not required.

I intentionally do not host my own git repos mostly because I need them to be available when my environment is having problems.

I make use of local runners for CI/CD though which is nice but git is one of the few things I need to not have to worry about.

I was paying for Google music until they took it away from me and told me it was Youtube Premium and then raised the price twice.

Not exactly what I'd call a great value proposition.

I can tell the time perfectly well unless someone asks me what time it is. Then my brain is completely useless and I just have to twist my wrist around awkwardly to show them.

My beef is with the machine.

No need to optimize when you can just push people to upgrade their hardware more frequently so you make fat stacks of cash from OEM's.

Linux has been easier to install than Windows for a while now, particularly with all the goofy hacks you have to pull out just to make an offline account on Win11.

IPv6 firewalls should, by default, offer similar levels of security to NAT

I think you're probably right. We had decades of security experts saying that NAT is not a firewall and everyone on the planet treated it like one anyway. Now we're overexposed for a no-NAT IPV6 internet.
