I read somewhere that the armor distributes blaster bolt shock through it so all the Stormtroopers get knocked unconscious. They don’t die, otherwise they may as well not wear it at all as they fall over after one blaster bolt.

But as with everything in Star Wars lore, that’s probably a desperate retcon.

The morale nosedive that layoffs bring means the loss of company productivity is so much higher than just who you let go. They have to be the absolute last resort. Pete Parsons has to go.

When I oopsie in server-side software, I roll it back, hopefully users never see it. When you oopsie client-side software it’s far more likely that users see it and resolution takes order days, not order minutes.

As I am a coward, I only work server-side 🙃

Once I got the hang of connecting Distrobox containers to VS Code, I was really very pleased by the whole setup.

I also thought it pretty incredible that running “ujust update” actually went into my Debian container for Haskell development and it ran “apt update” for me. I couldn’t believe it the first time.

Bazzite will install it for you as part of the setup if you ask for it.

Would love to know how you’re dealing with Gnome and HiDPI. I found it really wacky, massive title bars and such. Went to KDE Plasma 6 and it all looks right, but agree it seems a little wonky sometimes. I’m hoping the bugs get ironed out.

You sound like the target audience for Bluefin. I’m running it and it’s excellent.

A license is only as good as it’s enforcement. How do you intend to enforce it? Companies are highly unlikely going to turn over their books to you.

I played some last night going in completely blind. I enjoyed it, but there isn’t really a tutorial, just tooltips that come up periodically. Unfortunately my town died after a few hours because I didn’t understand I was supposed to be preparing food for as soon as possible (crops grow on a year cycle, so you need the seeds in ASAP). Makes logical sense, but the game doesn’t tell you and then I was stuffed.

I think it’s totally fun as a sandbox/run-based game, but if you’re looking for something more you’ll need to wait.

Yes, I turned off network access and it works identically. This is a good path. Lawn chair was ok.
