I think he has that title too by virtue of being an MP, not the PM.
other MPs (I assume all but could be wrong) are also Right Honourable.
I’m a software dev in the UK who’s into sci-fi, fantasy, videogames and music.
Big on doctor who, star trek, discworld, final fantasy, dream theater, and people’s right to be themselves.

There is definitely this for activities, so I’d be surprised if there isn’t for virtual desktops given how much more popular/supported they are

Ha! Good to know
I 100% agree with the sentiment here, almost exactly what I said to my wife about the perfect blend; it’s uniquely Doctor Who.
However, the gravity bit is almost certainly not unnecessary, because they kept saying “mavity” for the rest of the episode. It’s a clue. This is no longer our universe, shenanigans are already afoot. There’s definitely a reset coming at some point, because it’s not going to be “mavity” for the rest of the show’s life.
And the Doctor is aware (his facial expressions whenever “mavity” was said, and he said “gravity” near the end), but Donna isn’t (she didn’t know what he meant when he said “gravity” near the end)
While I too like the analogy, and agree that Windows is becoming increasingly money grabby, I feel the need to be fair: as an OS it has supported native ISO mounting since Win7, just right click an ISO file and choose “Mount”…
My guess is a typo, possibly supposed to be 11 or 12? Is 1998 too early for TF2 design to be occurring?
Team Fortress 2 was announced in 1998
According to Wikipedia. So that looks plausible.
The post however talks about gathering feedback from players of TFC, which didn’t come out until 99. Maybe Robin meant the original mod, which he also worked on, or maybe he just misremembered at what point TFC came out or when they actually explored the death stuff that resulted in the freezecam.
This reminds me of my practice French oral exam at school, so not a typo but still:
As part of the conversation my teacher asked what sort of things I liked to read, and I decided to talk about a then popular technology magazine called T3.
“T trois” sounds rather like “Tais toi” (shut up), and she was a bit taken aback!
Thankfully though we learned not to use that in the real exam.
Haven’t seen this everywhere, but RPS say:
The original Tomb Raider was a relatively early 3D game, created in an era before analogue sticks, and it’s a little awkward to control in modern hands. The remasters include the ability to switch back and forth between “classic and modern joystick control schemes”, as well as camera lock-on
Just to be clear, Visual Studio does not officially run on anything other than Windows.
However, as the linked blog post indicates, since this is .NET based you can use any IDE or code editor you like that has support, such as Visual Studio Code, or JetBrains Rider, which are available for Linux and macOS.
The game engine’s own editor is also Windows only and presumably if that is .NET based then one day it might be cross platform if the community makes it happen. That doesn’t really relate to Visual Studio though.
I have a separate 4 joycon charging dock.
lazy today
I can sympathise.
Thanks, and thanks for posting all these! Definitely a highlight of my feed.
Any chance of reverting the date format?
Ooh! Are you one of today’s lucky 10,000?!
Thanks for the tips.
I’m a dev by day, and no stranger to bash/zsh and powershell. That said I don’t want to constantly be tinkering in the terminal just to use my OS.
Cheers for the pointer to Nobara, I’ll look into that as an option too!
Agreed. I have a deck and I’m now definitely gonna switch my main pc from Win10 to Linux. Steam deck desktop mode helped show me I could be comfortable using it, and the deck in general showed the gaming support is there nowadays.
I now see no reason to not put Linux on my desktop. Just deciding on which distros to check out. Probably mint. Maybe garuda…
My anecdotal experience is that Apple silicon support is not usually a major problem. Plenty of stuff seems to be fine through Rosetta. The worse case is 32 bit only games which are unsupported in modern macos versions regardless of CPU arch.
Aha, thanks.
Yeah I noticed some of the cabinet (Angela Raynor, Ed Milliband) had right honourable, but not all, but I didn’t know the criteria.
