We really messed up God's (current) world if videogames feel more like a taste of Heaven than real life...
No I take it back. I've had little tastes of Heaven in "real life", but it is very close. Real life is *real* though, you can do things in it that have eternally-lasting impact, greater than even good times spent with you and a sibling, as valuable as that is.

@briankrebs I'll just say this in response, personally I never know what is going to offend someone. I have never had great social skills, and when someone takes offense at something I say or do I often agnogize over who was in the wrong, me or the person being (maybe too easily) offended.

That said, if someone has the choice to mute or block me (and they feel they must do one of the two), I'd much rather they block me so I can't read what they write and then maybe at some future point write a response that they will never read. If, as rarely happens, someone offends me so much that I never want to see anything else they might ever write, I'll always choose to block. I do use mute too, but most often because someone is posting in a language other than English but their posts are still getting through despite the fact that I have set my preferences to see English language posts only. Since I only understand English, there is no point in receiving posts from someone who writes in another language.

@iispabs This would be a desperate move but if you find a proxy (or a VPN if you have to) that isn't too far away from where you are, you could probably connect your Switch to it and get matched up with different people. Only if added lag is better than annoying games ofc

@KF7RHB @briankrebs "0-click" exploits, though; those can be purely technical.

@Big_Diggity YES! Great, great music. They claim Christianity, too, which is great, and last I checked their music was free of profanity.
At least one of the two band members is in favor of the LGBT, though....

Some BIG announcements incoming over the next few weeks. Stay tuned...

@briankrebs @L2actual I chose both because I do both, so I thought it made enough sense 🤷‍♂️

@L2actual @briankrebs That's because it was a multi-choice poll, actually 😉

@w84death I know you're the one writing the OS and I'm the one watching, but have you heard of the PROGMEM keyword in Arduino C++? It allows you to store data that would usually be in RAM in flash. (I see you tagged Clang though)

@arraybolt3 I decided to give Unity another chance some years ago, and installed it and ran it. It locked up (Not the OS; Unity froze). Well... 🤷‍♂️

@arraybolt3 My experience was one of lots of bugs and glitches. The concept was there, and I liked it, but the implementation was so bad, as I said, I went back to Windows. (This was early on in my Linux experience; I don't think I was really aware of "distros" and desktops at the time.)

@arraybolt3 Back when I first tried Linux, Unity was so bad I went back to Windows.
Ubuntu has gotten a lot better. I wonder how Unity is now.
