There’s that new clippy thing that lets you record an arbitrary region of the screen. That and HDR stuff. Everything else in Windows 11 is on par or a regression over previous functionality. It’s the New Coke of Windows operating systems. 😆

A tie between HISHE and The Warp Zone.

I went to see what thinkgeek dot com was selling these days. Sad to discover that they are no more.

I’ve heard people talking about the switch but I’ve not seen it yet on git for Windows. I’d upgrade but I need to set up a new remote box anyway (to replace my on-prem Bitbucket) and I don’t need any hassles between now and whenever I get a chance to do that.

MinTTY in Windows (for git bash) and whatever the default is in Debian

Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.

Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride

Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.

I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.

I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.

Edit: fixed a word

I still have my Geek Code saved somewhere. Probably on a floppy disk. 😂

DDG has always been pretty good at unit conversion. Sadly, they no longer respect term exclusions in their searches. Had to go back to the G. :(

I just try to trust the game, though in the case of TotK I did have an “ugh not again” moment when I first landed at the surface level. Glad I stayed with it, though. We usually chip away on it for an hour or two each day, but when I’m not in the mood I just do something else. As long as you’re enjoying yourself, there’s no wrong way to game. ✌️

Samsung Flip 4 haver here. Picked it up cheap through Google Fi around the NA release. No scratches so far. The screen seems pretty tough. The only real complaint I can think of is that I can’t open it one handed.
