I've always had to manually install drivers every time I set up a distro (usually Ubuntu variant). After that I do noticed it updates semi randomly over time, which usually causes some games to stop working, but c'est la vie

Planning to finish Doom Eternal, then start on my next game in my backlog, Caves of Cud. Not sure what to expect or why I bought it in the first place but we'll see! Was thinking about setting up a streaming thing too, not for money but just for fun.

It is strangely boring to be the chosen one, isn't it? My favourite Skyrim playthroughs were with the mod where you can start life as just, a ranger in the woods, or a scholar of magic, or whatever. It feels much more interesting to be boring.

Oh heck yes is the next chapter out? Been waiting what feels like forever for that.

Every day I regret buying the NVIDIA gpu lol. Next time I'm getting AMD for sure

Most of my career I was allowed to write code how I wanted. I made it beautiful and nice to read. It was genuinely fun to find the best way to implement each feature.

My final job, I was forced to add semicolons on new lines for each if else statement, even for early returns, remove hyphens from my comments because they were "improper grammar", put a useless giant copy pasted comment at the start of each file so you can't even see any code without scrolling, one separate file for each class even if it's an internal helper class used nowhere else, and use interfaces and MVVM for literally everything, even when it was severely over-engineering (or should I say overengineering). It just felt soul crushing to make this ugly ass code that took forever to write, just because the style guide said so.

Then A.I. happened and I quit being a software engineer completely. Telling an A.I. to do my work for me is just depressing. What's even the point anymore? I still code for fun but I'm done with the industry.

Man, logging issues are like baby's first engineering problem... That's just embarrassing

Wow that's lame... So I guess if you have an older GPU you can't update your drivers?

I remember that, like GPT 3.5 era. When I asked it how it would rule the world I thought it had pretty good ideas, if I didn't know it was an A.I. I'd vote for it anyway. Not anymore though lol

Even just like, needing competition and attention for fulfillment seems strange to me. But maybe I'm the weird one.

Yeah maybe. But I'm not really talking about nomadic ancestral living though. Plenty of villages in the country today are functionally communist, I've lived in one.

What I mean is it seems hard to have a system that has all the stuff we have today, without capitalism appearing at some point. Electricity, computers, trains, huge populations, cities, etc.

I'm trying to say that it's easy to implement, it seems obvious, and it benifits those in power. But it's inefficient and horrible long term and leads to problems. I think all the current laws and policy protecting capitalism were put in place to prop up a dying system. So rather than it being deliberate, I believe it's just a series of reactionary patch jobs that "fix" problems as they come up rather than anyone actually sitting down and designing a good system.

I didn't meant that there are no rules. I meant that if you dumped a group of people on another planet, in 1000 years they'd probably have capitalism again. It's just one of the the path of least resistance systems that seems obvious at scale. Nobody sat down and designed capitalism. It just kind of happened.
