She now uses an even more masculine pen name for her detective novels.

Hilarious that a TERF is using a masculine pen name for her book sales.

Check out Mint or PopOS! over Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is falling behind in the desktop experience, as well as their insistence of using their proprietary backend for snaps over flatpaks, and overriding tools that you expect to get the flatpaks and causing trouble shooting issues because you are expecting one behavior but getting another (not that hard to work around or translate once you know, but still a hassle.

Also, Mint and PopOS! are just great experiences and were top contenders for my personal desktop (dev, gaming, power user) switch from Win10 -> Linux. I wound up going with Arch/Garuda because it’s forcing me to learn far more about Nix than I’ve learned as a dev. I still might make the switch since Garuda can become unstable occasionally due to the way that the OS is “bleeding edge”, and forces me to troubleshoot the causes (I guess this is what I wanted to learn?) instead of doing personal dev, gaming, or desktop entertainment.

Should have paid them back in Geoffrey Dollars.

UE5 performance is fine these days if the game developer actually utilizes the tooling in place to catch problematic assets, sequences, blueprints, and more. Now, those tools may not be the easiest to use, but they do exist, and, with official documentation. It’s got challenges, but the tooling exists. In 5.5 there was even an expirmental plugin released that’s supposed to help with the burden of integrating this work, so it’s obvious there’s effort being put into providing tools for developers to make performant games

The problem is that takes additional time in a production pipeline, and is uaully pushed off to the side til the end of a game’s dev cycle instead of the beginning, if it’s done at all. And due to the way that many game studios are funded and operate, it’s not uncommon for product quality to follow the model of delivering features first to meet funding milestones instead of focusing on making sure the work that’s being introduced is also performant.

Screen space.

I work in tech doing performance, memory management, and developer workflow tooling and automation for a large 3D Rendering/Creation tool.

Being able to throw a long setup doc, or a large class file on a 4k portrait monitor allows me to read things through with a ton of context and far less scrolling.

It’s also useful for putting two window tiles that have related content, or one is a reference content.

I currently have a tie-fighter monitor setup (2x4k portrait on either side of a ultrawide) and will put comms and email/calendar on my left monitor, core work in the center, and overflow reference/research on the right.

It’s less hectic for personal use, but I still use all the space.

4k monitors in portrait orientation are amazing for productivity. It’s a shame more people don’t do this

The entire PNW is this way.

Summer Solstice in the Seattle area has twilight til ~10pm, even later up in Vancouver.

But yeah, don’t come, it’s always raining.

WebP is an extended container around the RIFF file format, and contains the RIFF header info. So any container that is built off RIFF, or supports RIFF, can at least interpret the container data that is RIFF compatible and will lose anything that has been extended upon.
