Much prefer the DF method of, it's the fort that matters not making absolutely certain your 3 citizens don't die.

It's a fun game and all that, but every game goes about the same for me. I have 1 person die and because getting anyone new takes forever, the game slows to a crawl and eventually I just stop caring.

I really wish DF worked better on deck. Rim world, as good as it runs, just doesn't enthuse me with the incredible small population counts. Keep trying, but never hooks me.

Got a good rim world fort going, now I just need some settlers to appear.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

Only the brightest most worth listening to people have stories about letting slop coding agents drop their production DB.

A very serious person worth listening to indeed!

Trying to make this sound like a terraform problem is really funny.

Literally anything but the slop machine that you decided to let run privileged commands so you could stop learning.

"well you could do this or this or that.. in an ideal scenario, which this isn't"

"You could do this and that.. if she wasn't old"

Dawg. How about you say what we can do with the situation we have instead of all these ones in your head.

Not that the tech version isn't, but maybe don't try and knowledge flex while providing end of life information for an animal.

The Doctor version of tech people dumping knowledge to show off is really quite obnoxious.

"Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences."

but go ahead and tell me how much your workflow is improved, or that they're in any respect an ethical choice

Rim world is so much fun on deck. Always went back to DF quickly on desktop but it sure works great here.

Too bad the console port didn't do so well, it would be a banger on S2 with mouse support.

a lot of you are hesitating to update to macOS 26, which is too bad, because i'm over here making my new best friend: foldy

You may look at a problem and think "Aha! The solution is to run my own email server." Now you have two problems, Google is marking all of your email as spam, an unknown number of threat actors using your server to spread malware because you forgot to patch something, and a small pile of subpoenas.

no ill will against anyone specifically, but it feels gross to see AI assisted coding happening in 7drl this year. there are ethical issues i think we should collectively be taking a stance on here.
