I second this if you’ve got your own files. I prefer it over Panels for how navigation works, and how it interacts with local files. That said, it was a few years ago I compared them.

I feel as well that people were less critical about performance back then. Above 20fps? Excellent performance and fond memories all around. To be equally happy today, a minimum of 60-120fps is required… lol

Yeah, that makes sense :)… I was aware I needed a hardware upgrade at the time, but that didn’t happen in till many years later in the form of a 2007 Intel-based MacBook Pro with a GeForce 8600M 512MB. When booted into Windows it worked reasonably well for gaming at low to mid settings :) </rant>

Interesting, I had a 900MHz AMD Athlon Thunderbird and a GeForce2 MX with 32MB VRAM, and Doom 3 ran at like 0.5-3 fps, while HL2 was playable without issue. I’d like to think for my inexperienced eyes back then, “playable” meant at least 20-30 fps, as I was used to OoT and GoldenEye on N64… lol

Try Max instead :)

Interesting, I finally played the PS5 version just over a month ago, and found it a lot buggier than the previous games. I had to force close the game multiple times (+5) due to controls no longer working, reload from save for various soft locks, and saw many other small but clearly broken things.

Have you tried Alfred as well? I tried moving from Alfred to Raycast last year out of curiosity, but didn’t last long as I couldn’t get some things to work in ways I’m used to.

…so I ordered 3 more 16TB disks, put the original SMART failure disk back and left the 4x12TB pool alone until I just replicated all data to the new 4x16TB pool. It was a fun week of data nervousness… lol

Early December I got SMART warnings for one disk in my 4x12TB RAIDZ2 array, ordered a 16TB disk to replace with a view I can slowly replace each over time. During the resilver with the new disk, a second disk dropped out of the pool due to read errors 😱…

Try påskmusk when Easter rolls around to see if you like that more.

How often do you write cheques? I’ve never written one in my entire life. I wouldn’t even know how to write one if I needed to, though from what I’ve seen in movies, I’d need a cheque book first, which I’ve also never had… lol

Your options are probably just Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. For low stakes conflict though there’s Parks and Recreations (which is awesome), and if you want “first world problems the TV show” there’s Chesapeake Shores.

Oh right, no clue where the Scandinavian countries are with that. Admittedly, I didn’t know they’d killed it here in the UK either, but I haven’t had an aerial connected since like 2018… lol

Why wouldn’t they? lol… Or have I missed something about Teletext since I was a kid and played with it a lot? lol

I don’t disagree, but kinda ok for something meant to be a fun custom emoji feature, and it runs locally on a phone in a second or two. Less than two years ago this required a massive server grade GPU and took over a minute.

Here’s a genmoji version… lol

Same, I can code to music, and used to almost exclusively do so. But when I started working from with silence around me, I found myself just not playing any music. In noisy office environments though music and noise canceling headphones are still required.

I’m curious if you’ve looked at the original PC releases of these games as well and have any opinions of how they compare to the original PS2 releases and definitive editions. I originally played them all on PC back in the early 2000s, and also bought them on Steam sometime over a decade ago.

While not the answer you want, mise (mise.jdx.dev) might fix your annoyances with node-based CLI utils. It’s similar to rbenv, but for all the things, and has a npm “backend”, that installs and manages npm packages separately from installed node versions. So upgrading/changing node versions is fine.

Some it seems :)… I’ve been using it since 2011, and been maintaining my own build script and nightly builds project for macOS for quite a few years now… lol

Pretty sure I manned to achieve the same thing in VSCode out of curiosity a while back.

Still using Copilot, I’ve only briefly toyed with local models. Need to give it a proper try at some point. Local models are getting better though, specially the smaller ones. I can run models requiring up to 48GB on GPU memory, but inference becomes quite slow, so the smaller the faster they are :)

In emacs I've got tab bound to pop-up suggestions from language servers, and shift+tab bound to accepting copilot/AI completion suggestions, making it easy to accept one or the other when both are active.

Anything like the US where they outright give you Yes/No questions about if you’ve ever done a long list of exceptionally illegal and horrible things? lol

Yeah, we flew there in January. Was a massive queue for British Passports, none for EU ones. Tat had used her British passport out of habit, so we queued up with in the long British queue for a few minutes till we remembered she had packed her Italian passport as well… lol

Colima is pretty nice, and I do need to check it out again, as performance and usability were quite poor a couple of years ago. But I’ve been more than happy with OrbStack instead for some time now.

It’s kind of the only way to run Linux containers on a non-Linux host OS, since the Linux Kernel is required. Hence a lightweight Linux VM. Google’s gVisor project is an interesting alternative kernel that runs in user space, but it’s designed for isolation/security and only supports Linux host OSs.

Try OrbStack as a Docker Desktop replacement, it’s infinitely better. Uses almost zero CPU resources when idle, has much higher I/O performance and much tighter integration with macOS.
