Just writing a memory allocator in JS, for Wayland reasons

We've just woken to an empty house after having a friend visit for 2 weeks and I'd love to know if a word exists in any language for the contradicting feelings of:

"Extreme relief to have your space back so you can be a feral gruntle beast again and missing someone intensely and wishing they'd stayed longer."

Serieuze vraag: zijn er hier mensen met kennis over de politiek van Cyprus? Het gaat me specifiek om de opdeling in twee delen (Cyprus vs. TRNC) en de huidige relatie daartussen. RT = fijn. Tips waar dit soort informatie te vinden is: ook welkom.

Gnomes use treasure maps as currency, as none of them want to walk long distances with bags of heavy coins.

Humans who use these maps to hunt down the treasure are always disappointed, as they lift the treasure-chest's lid, and find it's full of maps. This is because, as covered earlier, gnomes use treasure maps as currency, as none of them want to walk long distances with bags of heavy coins.

is there any game that has a "you have to make the room look nice" mechanic that isn't defeated by just spamming the most expensive (or most whatever) object

I change my mind on things carefully and deliberately, after ensuring I understand the reasoning well enough, specifically to avoid falling into reactionary traps - but I think this just looks like stubbornness from the outside?

: If you are (sometimes) without a reliable internet connection on at least one of your devices, or know someone who is: if you could describe your ideal way of installing new software, and it would magically exist overnight, what would it be? :boost_requested:

I'm particularly interested in perspectives from the Global South, although if you fit the definition above for some other reason, you can also respond! And if you only have internet on some devices or locations (eg. on phone but not on laptop), I'd like to hear your thoughts too.

(If you have not met any of this definition in the last, say, 10 years, then please do not reply - boosting for reach is appreciated, though!)

went on steam to see how expensive an indie game was now that i have a desktop and remembered no everything is way too expensive now because rich fucks vpnd into the country i live in too many times so they could buy games for cheaper

And this is how you minimize downtime.

My matrix in online again btw.

I found a photo of the family PC we got in 2000

Does anyone think they could help me identify the case or joystick or really anything going on here (minus the stereo system, I still have that one)? Cause I loved that computer

This is why we need #degrowth, so much energy and material and economic activity is wasted on shit like this that doesn't actually improve anyone's life in any way. Any challenge to economic growth gets dismissed as "you just want people to go back to living in caves" when in reality we don't need to reduce everyone's living standards to miserable drudgery we just need to stop doing this sort of nonsense

@joepie91 I firmly believe that "it's a Linux distro" statement is the prime culprit for making it seen as just another barely different Linux distro by the Linux majority. Just like Windows users consider Linux a "Windows for geeks": obvious downsides with no upsides. If it was instead marketed as "the only configurable OS that just so happens to use Linux", the world would've been a much better place.

Quite apart from the gratuitous climate vandalism, I think what pisses me off so much about the #Starbucks CEO commuting by private jet is the arrogance of the assumptions that this is justified. Like this isn't an organisation trying to cure cancer or end world hunger, it's a chain selling overpriced coffee with various sugar syrups. Nothing bad would happen if it ceased functioning, its continued existence doesn't justify its CEO behaving like that.
