Scenario:
Pedestrian nearing the end of the crosswalk & “walk” signal changes.

Most places:
Driver patiently waits for pedestrian to safely reach the other side of the street.

Night City:
Driver hits the accelerator & turns on the windshield wipers.

Haven’t been active on here lately, been sucked into the world.

SO immersive, and NPCs were created with enough depth that I actually care about.

I had to re-start a few times because its mix of adventure & RPG elements was throwing me off.

Been a really fun staycation until my new work assignment starts on the 1st. 🤩

Is it redundant for me to star a post if I've already boosted it?

kerneltux,
@kerneltux@autistics.life avatar

@JeremyMallin
I see these totally differently.

Star = high-five

Boost = I should share this with people that subscribe to my posts

My process: read -> star (maybe) -> boost (maybe)

Not everything I read deserves a high-five, and anything I want to boost definitely deserves a high-five.

Ok, I gotta say, #Portal2 is so well designed. The way it starts is disorienting enough that I get into a “gotta figure out what’s going on” mode w/out being nauseating.

The challenges have an oddly soothing (bordering on addicting) effect on my #ActuallyAutistic brain. Hard to explain, but damn, well done, Valve!

I looked at my profile and saw how much I've been posting. Spamming your feeds a bit. Sorry haha.

I'm just excited about the direction my life is going in. I'm thinking more like an entrepreneur.

I read the other day "Business owners own a job; Entrepreneurs own a vision." Feels like I'm transitioning from business owner mindset to a successful entrepreneur mindset.

I can credit that to "School of Hard Knocks" on TikTok and all the entrepreneurs he interviews.

All good things coming.

Uuuuh, I wouldn’t call your activity “spam”…in any way/shape/form.

I like reading your posts about growing both as an entrepreneur & becoming more self-confident overall.

It’s inspiring. 🙂

Install went well……except grub (of course!) 🙄

Taking a walk to decompress & setup a plan to resolve this. Worst case scenario I downgrade to grub 2.06, but that’s not sustainable long term.

This is the contract I signed by choosing lol

@gabrielesvelto
I followed the steps in the handbook. Both grub-install & grub-mkconfig executed w/out errors, and a bios window opened stating Gentoo boot failed, without any debug info to investigate.

I didn't go through the sbsigntools process, wasn't sure if that was req'd with my laptop (Framework 16).

The recent news item on Grub mentions running grub-install twice (with & without --removable), but I don't know if that's relevant, being a fresh install.

I'm all set on #Peertube! I've added my handle to my profile, and the name of the channel is Kernel Tux Codes (I know, not very creative, but whatever lol).

Majority of the videos will be me working on my #development projects (mostly #Python), and occasional #Linux stuff.

Will also do livestreams, but not sure how often...also, overall publishing schedule will be a bit wonky as I figure out a sustainable routine.

@kerneltux@autistics.life avatar

Two things I’m excited to see in #LeMans24h

  1. The switch from GTE to GT3, as the num of manufacturers has stagnated the past 3~5 years, and this enables a more diverse set of cars.

  2. Progressing towards a Hypercar class powered by #Hydrogen. Pretty much every improvement in road cars was developed at Le Mans.
    Disk brakes? ✅
    Tyre radials? ✅
    Better headlights? ✅
    Biofuels? ✅
    More efficient aerodynamics? ✅

This prototyping bodes well for phasing-out petrol-based fuels. 🤞

I don’t get how Meta will allow ads targeting specific mental health conditions looking for study participants and ads for prescription medications, but they rejected all 200+ products in my store because they are for autistic people, and that somehow violates their “no medical device sales” policy.

It’s totally cool though to target parents of autistic kids who want to join a Tylenol lawsuit accusing them of giving their kid autism. But not a fidget toy for an autistic, that’s banned. Right.

@ashleyspencer
I recently bought a couple stim toys for my autistic sister-in-law (Xmas present), and shared your store with some family friends.

Hopefully that gets you closer to a place where you don’t need Meta. 🙂

Ok, I misunderstood, that’s definitely a better situation than I had in my head, but still baffling. 🤷‍♂️

I think an entertaining show would be a #developer competition where 4 developers each build an app & the show follows the format on #ForgedInFire

Panel of judges find ways to break the apps, not sure what the winner would get.

“[name], in the ___ module, you didn’t sanitize for a DROP TABLES injection, so you’ve been eliminated from the competition.”

o O (Yeah, literally ZERO other people would actually find that entertaining…there’s a reason why it doesn’t exist… 🙄)

A man can dream… 🤷‍♂️

Jerry Garcia definitely tops that list, his interviews were chef's kiss...down-to-earth, and omg, what a laugh he had.
I could go on for hours how his music influenced me in so many positive ways.

I'll be forever grateful (😉 👍 ) that we shared time on this planet.

    Can’t say that I’m all that surprised. Other studios have been doing this for a number of years…just no news stories about it being under direct orders from an exec. Yet, they didn’t actively curtail the practice, either.

    This is one reason why I’ve been moving from streaming -> local media.

    I don't understand what's going on, but I poked my head in over at #Threads and it seems like everyone's talking about loving music, promoting music, or making #music.

    I was not expecting that.

    On a related note, I found my #Halloween costume.

    I guess it was only a matter of time for Spirit to call the clothes that most people in the lot at a Dead show wear “a Halloween costume.” 😜 (~);}
