Watching the new season made me wonder if I Futurama was ever actually good. Are my fond memories of the old episodes just nostalgia?

No, I started rewatching the old seasons and in my opinion the general quality of the jokes and writing was much higher then. The over-reliance on current-day events just doesn’t work for Futurama, either. But there were some good episodes. For example, I really liked the season finale, the anthology episode.

I think they can make it good again, if they just stick with what made Futurama great in the first place, instead of trying to recreate is into something new.

I guess these days it’s mostly Ionic or Quasar…?

Yeah, but as far as I know, if you want to run Linux applications, they run in a virtual machine after you enable and download Linux support in ChromeOS.

Hey, I use the desktop on my Steam Deck all the time for normal computer use!

Reading documentation is still king here.

And then my co-student refreshed the page a 1000 times for laughs and the counter went up, because I didn’t install a cookie with an IP check.

“Damn it, Jim! You just lost the company 100.000 dollars!”

“How big of a failure are we talking about here?”

“It’s about a 0.00000227272 Musk! You’re fired!”

This is semantics and playing it down. The term Neo-Nazi is used for any post-war “militant, social or political movement” and it’s just bullshit, because they simply never went away. They didn’t “pop up” after the second world war, they remained and it’s important to understand that. They were not eradicated, many people are still supporting the same ideology and would follow Hitler now if he someone got back alive.

My German friends have told me for years that Nazis never went away. They are not “far-right”, they’re not neo-Nazis, they are Nazis. Gotta call them by their real name. Because this is real in Germany and also internationally and it should not be played down, like AfD is doing.

Nice. I was using System Monitoring Center, but that’s based on Python and it uses a bit too much system resources, in my opinion. It’s pretty, though.

Say that to my employer who just replaced our in-house developed system with a service and made my job disappear.

I feel people are often not positive enough. I mean, in my experience, I think that in most cases, running games on Linux with Proton is as good as Windows. The exceptions are unsupported and not-enabled-for-Linux anti-cheat engines and some exceptions, like updates to certain non-Steam launchers breaking things.

Is that It’s an asynchronous operation and you need to send messages in the form of events back to the UI thread. But it’s difficult to predict how much of the total percentage of progress you just finished in the small part it’s doing, since every part is doing something different or longer-taking. So it’ll jump and won’t be steady. Or, you make a fake one that goes steady and shows down at the end, or something similar. So, fake. :)
