Yup, it’s something I myself recently started to realise and have been forcing myself to read things that actually interest me.

While in elementary and middle school every 2 months we had a specific book we had to read and then would discuss it in class and would be graded based on our input.

Reading books and writing essays has been cemented in my mind as a boring chore that is forced upon me. It took years before it even occured to me that reading might be a fun activity, and a couple more before I actively started trying to read again. It’s difficult to break away from the mould I’ve been set to during my childhood, but I’m slowly chipping away at it.

Children SHOULD read, but how can we get them to WANT to read?

I am a young person who doesn’t read recreationally, and I avoid writing wherever I can. Thank you for sharing your insight as well as sparking an interesting discussion in this thread.

Dragon Age: Origins is also a master class in this vain.

Thank you for this gem.

They tout the “slow and methodical” combat (which I actually liked throughout the campaign) and then they just slap in mechanics like Breach which are antithetical to it.

Feels like there are too many cooks in that kitchen.

Looks like someone wants to get off of Mr. Glucose’s wild ride!

“Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.”

Security is a big focus for gov usage, why not base off of Debian?

Bow before the machine spirit! Taste the fruit of its wisdom!

You’re wording it as if we shouldn’t be outraged anyways.

Wanted to try Hogwarts Legacy since it’s on a big discount, but found out by a review that the game has a disclaimer that it will sell your personal information. Fuck that!

Disagree, you might be right in the short term, but long term competition like that only benefits the customer.

Useful idiots are working against their own interests, while hard, it is possible to reason with them. A self-conscious nazi is a nazi through and through.

Exactly! Literal nazis in government, calling them out does nothing! Very few people are taking it seriously.

Most people agree punching nazis is fine, very few people agree on who is and isn’t a nazi.

It is precisely because useful clueless idiots are constantly being classified as nazis that no one is taking accusations of actual nazis seriously. Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.

Exactly! Extra preconfigured tools, less stuff to maintain myself.

Never given Garuda serious thought, this kind of stuff makes me want to switch over from Arch.

No way, It’s happening! The king of stealth games returns!

Edit: the trailer seems kinda bland, neutered, soulless compared to trailers of previous games. A bit worried…

I’ve been using the same Arch/KDE box at work for the past 5 years. All default/stock. I have 1 system related issue every couple of months, usually a known issue i can quickly find the solution to. My “maintenance” routine is to update packages once per week. The less customization you do, the less obscure issues you will come across. Life is good.
