I’d ask what some of her favourite moments were.

I found with my grandparents that they’d focus on the smaller things as they aged. Sure, they could talk about the major events but they actually liked talking about the little things.

My grandmother (who is best described as an eccentric matriarch) would tell stories about how she changed her general store to one ~10 km further away because the closer one “didn’t serve poor people” (she’d tell the full story of why every time).

She died at ~77. I can only imagine what moments she’d have in her heart if she had lived to 108.

If my reaction the first time I saw a cybertruck IRL is any indication, I’d scream.

As a leftist, I resent that

I’m Eastern Canadian. It wasn’t sarcastic, but it’s a semi common statement out here when relating to parts of Western Canada.

But the American Left is the Canadian Center. There’d be a fair few Conservative voters who’d vote Democrat and not change their ideology.

The cornerstone of Canadian national identity: We aren’t American.

Definitely not disagreeing with that. I made the comment after reading the title, but before I saw the associated image.

My dad tells stories of snowstorms back in the 70s & 80s where they would leave their truck at the end of the driveway with the keys in it and unlocked.

We live very rural (my grandparents were my neighbours growing up), and snowstorms could get bad. So everyone left their vehicles out with the keys in case someone broke down on the side of the road so that they could hop in the truck and turn it on to stay warm. Never had a vehicle so much as damaged, much less stolen.

My sibling ran into this issue once. I’m not sure if it’s a setting or a default, but vscode would assume they were working in a blank repo until they made a commit.

Sounds like this person had the project (without source control) in another IDE, tried out VSCode, and it assumed that it was all ‘changes’. I don’t use VSCode, do I can’t say for certain, but I know my sibling lost ~4 hours of project set up for the same reason (though they immediately realized it was their fault).

That’s basically how I did it.

To properly learn it using this method, create a directory that contains only text files and sub directories and treat it like a real project. Add files, delete them, play around with updating the repository. Try and go back a few updates and see how the things react. Since it’s not a real project there’s no risk of loss, but you’ll still get to see the effects of what you do.

I spent the last 6 months working on a feature. Found out 2 weeks before release that it was being postponed.

“…and tweet ‘Donald Trump is a human toilet’.”

Came here to write advertising. Your product should speak for itself.

Landlording, however, is not an occupation. They’re just parasites who’ve convinced people it is.

I have terrible but defined habits for my ROMs. I use the same folder structure for all of them.

./[platform]/[game]/[game].zip

./[platform]/[game]/[game].iso

./[platform]/[game]/saves/…

If it’s a series, using Pokémon as an example, I also have:

./Pokemon/Backups/[game].zip

./Pokemon/[generation]/[game]/[game].iso

So it’s not that good of a backup, mainly there in case the iso corrupts, but I think it’s better than nothing.

I just had to go and check because I got my 2 year subscription for ~$0.75 a month ($1 CAD) back in April. When I check their pricing page while not logged in, it shows me that I can save 50% on my first year and pay $6 monthly.

I think at this point I am more excited for, and have higher expectations of, Skywind.

Liz is one of my favourite poorly adjusted gremlins.

As a Jr. Full Stack, I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

This may be shit advice, but it may help.

I have a mint laptop and was also linux illiterate when I started. The way I did most of my learning was by googling (or duckduckgo-ing) “How do I [x] linux mint” and reading through stack overflow threads. If this doesn’t return results, (almost) any solution for Debian or Ubuntu will work on Mint.

In general, I just assumed that if I thought the computer could do it, there would be a way to do it.

Thank you 7th Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
