I see Mullvad’s move away from OpenVPN mentioned a lot, but not the reasons for it. So for anyone like me who is reading this and curious, here’s a link to why they decided to move to Wireguard

So, I was just at the Microsoft Power Platform conference in Vegas last week for work and while there was still obviously a TON of Copilot push, there was also a subtle tone running through the keynotes and panels lead by Microsoft where they kept saying “Pro code isn’t going anywhere” and “People will always be a necessary step in any process”. I get the impression Microsoft is panicking a bit about companies adopting their previous stance on AI too hard and promptly imploding. At least that’s what I tell myself to sleep at night now.

I can wait as long as necessary – just means more time for the factory to grow. Factorio was the best value I’ve ever had out of $30.

Highly recommend Haven. Has some combat but it’s very minimal and it’s mostly slice of life focused on the romance of a pair of runaways.

Practical Engineering is a great channel. Some of his videos are longer, but most are well under 30 minutes and if you have even a passing interest in civil engineering there’s a wealth of information there.

Right, I was intending to add a data point and continue the discussion. Didn’t mean to come off as confrontational, apologies if I did.

Mid-30s here. Three close friends who are trans, and a sibling who is trans. I am cis hetero, so it’s not about being surrounded by my peers. There’s a reason anecdotal evidence isn’t evidence and I suspect you and I are opposite ends of the scale showing why.

Bloodlip, by Matduke/Veela. I don’t listen to the lyrics of songs all that much so for me the emotions are driven by the melody. Something about the chorus in this one sends shivers down my spine.

Mine 100% will be. I own the Z Fold 4 and it’s my favorite phone I’ve ever owned. Never had a use for a tablet due to the size, but having a phone that opens to a tablet has been amazing for streaming and reading.

Also a PC gamer and I’ve discovered as I’ve aged, CPU has been more of a bottleneck for me than GPU. Games like Factorio or Path of Exile need a powerful CPU, but their graphics are secondary at best.

Tower of God is my absolute favorite anime and comic right now. Can’t recommend it enough. Deeply interesting systems, amazing supporting cast, unique twists on old tropes.

And then you get to the Atlas passive tree and we’re straight into a Lord of the Rings second breakfast meme.
