Full disclosure: Haven’t read the article yet.

Working in corporate IT, this most likely is targeted toward enterprise customers who either take a long time to roll out OS upgrades or can’t due to technical limitations within their environment. In those cases, paying the cost of extended support is more palatable to troubleshooting or rushing mass OS upgrades. This is a fairly common practice with enterprise software vendors.

Edit: Okay, just skimmed it. Looks like this is actually a new program for non-enterprise consumers, which is interesting. First I’ve heard of that.

I am just now starting through Fallout 4. I’ve had it in my library for a while but never got around to it.

I’m not sure that this is a “game” idea so much, but I’ve had this idea I haven’t been able to wrap my head around the implementation of.

Think a digital audio workstation such as Ableton Live or Logic, but gamified. Complete various musical objectives to pass levels, have a creative mode for just making music and maybe even a multiplayer mode for collaborative or competitive music making.

I tend to go back and forth between Go and Python. Typically for work stuff I am writing AWS automation utilities though so I’ll opt for Python because Boto3 is lovely. Go is typically for my personal projects.

I’ve also been itching to try my hand at Rust, but haven’t brought myself to start yet.

I’m lucky in that my employer went the opposite direction. Downsizing our local office and just letting us all be 100% remote. We’re a geographically distributed group so it doesn’t make sense to enforce office requirements.

Wait. I can automate my meetings too? I dig it.

As much as a lot of that hate it warranted, I’d say the install location isn’t so much a Teams issue as it is a Windows issue and how it handles user-level vs system-level installs. Obviously still a Microsoft problem, but important to note.

Ah, neat! Yeah that would work then. I’d hope that your usernames are unique in your self-hosted setup, so that should work just fine. Very nice!

Hmm…this should work but I do have a concern on it based on my experience with AWS. Maybe this is different with minio though.

In AWS, S3 bucket names are globally unique. Not just to your AWS account, but across ALL S3 buckets period. So let’s say you have a username of “test” and use that policy. If that user attempts to create a bucket and that bucket name is taken, well that user is out of luck.

Obviously if minio doesn’t require globally unique bucket names you’re probably fine, but otherwise this could realistically become a problem.

What makes that better is that VS Code is running on Electron, meaning it is running Chromium under the hood. Or at least part of it. Been a while since I read up on it so I can’t remember for certain.

I mean, I could have just offered myself up to be corrupted by these “immoral” instruments. If they didn’t want the instruments around, they could have let me take them.

Personally I’m more surprised that most online PC gaming doesn’t cost. As someone who runs cloud infrastructure for a living, servers aren’t cheap. So when it comes to game servers, who is paying for them?

This isn’t a jab at your comment, rather I’m genuinely curious.

I’m not as familiar with Itch but it works the same as GOG in that you can download the installer and keep it, no special activations or DRM required. Right? Because I definitely love that aspect of GOG. I just wish it had a larger library.

Vision Air. Calling it now.

That looks like it could be fun. Might have to check it out.

So I’ve heard they’ve been making some controversial decisions as of late but I’m out of the loop. What happened?

Ah, that’s a good point. I was thinking specifically within Lemmy apps, and not so much across the board.

The only thing that would make this better would be to include the Roomba as part of a fatality.

I was just thinking that needs to become a feature. More technically minded folks could easily update the link on their own to plug into their Lemmy instance to subscribe, but for new users that could prove cumbersome.

I wonder if the functionality could be brought directly into clients.
