Fucking piece of shit. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

"At first, the company's plan was to send a tow truck to tow the Prius a few miles closer to civilization, but that would be too easy. It appears GIG's customer service unhelpfully suggested Paul and her companion spend the night sleeping in the car and trying to start the car again the next morning."

using NoScript has really opened my eyes to how fucking garbage the modern web is.

something that should just be a static site with information about a UI framework? page is entirely blank unless i allow the domain in noscript.

update-initramfs said it failed but if I never reboot I won't have to deal with this

Pixel #art source versus how it actually looked like on an arcade, television and early home computer CRTs.

90's PC displays had sharper pixels but still had a mild anti-aliasing effect that should not be ignored in emulation.

Note how the CRT hardware anti-aliasing effect creates the detail of a face on the skeleton's shield, where as the source looks like an incoherent blob of pixels - this was because the artist purposely designed the sprites for the final CRT render.

And here's my fourth OS in just over 24 hours, Ubuntu Touch - so far, definitely the least frustrating experience of the four

that is not to say it is without frustrations, merely that they are lesser frustrations (why can't I set my time zone correctly) rather than greater frustrations (why does it keep turning off the display while I'm using it)

We did it, folks. We finished chapter 6 \o/
