So my muscle memory goes to the L1 - L2 buttons. But they don't quite work that way. And when you're facing enemies, and are short of ammo on a weapon, time is critical.
And #SystemShock is unforgiving.
I'd have to check if the #SteamDeck allows me to remap the buttons tho. That would make the game a bit better.

So @npub1zw2…2aln is not loading for me on #firefox but it loads OK on Chrome/Edge.

@npub1l3g…vu48 you do you!
If I had only one computer, sky's the limit. I have four, plus an iPad and a phone. Don't have time to decipher in my head who's who. 😆

@npub1l3g…vu48 nah. I tried to do this with starships, swords. It became unwieldy and confusing. Especially when using synchronized software, like Firefox or Chrome.
I now call them what they are. X280. L7280.

Please be a good person.
If you're going to post something about #StarTrek #Discovery that you think maybe a bit of a spoil, please, please, please, mark your post with a content warning. For those of us that haven't gotten to it yet.
Pretty please?

@npub15l7…aang few to none. I have no patience to follow them around anymore. I still have boxes full of them in storage. Early 90s stuff.

The last update to #firefox beta (122.0b3) broke the integration between it and #KeepassXC. And I'm inclining myself more and more to reformat this laptop and either put #LinuxMint in it or @npub1vvu…pj6u Pop_OS in it (which I think does not run FF as a snap).
I like the idea of snaps, but I need the browser to talk to at least my password manager. Snap ain't it.

Man, #Oracle #VirtualBox has been utter shit lately on #Linux. Both on #Ubuntu and #Mint. It's freezing my entire Dell Laptop, and on my Thinkpad the VM looks like a postal stamp.
Looking for alternatives.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 I was told they needed to go back to Dell. I had employees stop me on the hallways and ask me if they could purchase their laptops from the company. Others enquired about donating them to a school or other organizations.
Nope. They all had to go back.
I want to remain optimistic and I want to think that most, if not all, were refurbished, or responsibly recycled. I mean, these are older laptops that could run Mint, for example, without a flaw. 2/

Another thing I've had in my mind since this morning.
I don't know if Klingons would make good spies themselves. That is, that there would be an intelligence service fully staffed by Klingons. Intelligence work requires, IMO, subtlety, patience, stealth. And, IDK man, Klingons have none of this. Maybe Worf, but that's about it.
I do see them *buying* Intel from other parties, tho. Weird Tuesday thoughts. #startrek

@npub1qty…w38h @npub1shf…8zvn very troubling.
What say you @npub15c0…hxke ? If Firefox were to disappear (may Cthulhu protect it) the one Chromium based browser I would go use would be Vivaldi.
Where do you stand here?

#republicans are evil. Don't come talk to me about 'christian' values if you are a republican and support this kind of shit. Fuck you, Greg Abbott! Burn in hell! #texas

I don't have cats. I am a dog person. But this nice fellow comes every morning while I am walking one of my dogs and says hi.
Enjoy! #caturday #cats #catsofmastodon #catstodon

@npub188q…3jlx oh man. I still have my OG PS1 and FF VI which I never got to finish. I got the PS version of it, but never the same.
I may try to see if EmuDeck can handle it.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 because there's nuances when dealing with people. Precisely why you want to have developers, solution architects, and BPCs there.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 yes and no.
Yes because it will give you code. No because you're not going to have the instincts of a person that has done it over time.

@npub15l7…aang man. I was thinking the other day precisely about Starscream and how his death in the movie is the most satisfying death of a villain in a movie that I've ever seen.
I'll die on this hill.
