16:20 heh

otacon239 , to Wallpapers in Have you ever coordinated your lock and home screen wallpapers?

I do this! Lately I’ve been using DALL-E to create two vector art pieces and I flatten the colors using iPhones built-in filters. Works really well. Also apologies to those who will wince at my busy home screen.

otacon239 , to Cyberpunk in [Game] Cyberpunk demos during Steam Next Fest

Been having a blast with Mullet Mad Jack. Stock an intense game.

otacon239 , to [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation in Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle?

I daily drive a stick and I’m honestly going to be sad the day I can no longer find a stick shift. It’s just so much more engaging to feel all of the mechanics react. I’ve ridden in a couple electrics, and while in almost every technical way, it’s better on paper, I prefer the vibration, noise, extra hand/footwork and so on of ICE and a manual transmission.

otacon239 , to Comics in [xkcd] Regular Expressions (10 Jan 2007)

Ah, yeah. It was never meant to be a be all and all. Just something to clean up the complete trash before I started proofreading. Besides, these were emails the customer provided and could easily be changed afterwords. Their fault if we get bad emails in the list ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

otacon239 , to Comics in [xkcd] Regular Expressions (10 Jan 2007)

What am I missing? I typically used it as a sanity check and would vet the changes. Never as a one-click modify. Or is there something else I should know about?

otacon239 , to Comics in [xkcd] Regular Expressions (10 Jan 2007)

I learned regex in a data entry job when receiving spreadsheets of user info they entered themselves. The number of times I went from a 40-minute by-hand solution to a 30-second one was astounding.

Need to clean up capitalization? Regex.

Need to fix all the phone numbers with dashes in them? Regex.

Need to make sure all the emails are valid? Regex.

So many hours of tedium saved. It really is one of the most powerful tools to have in your back pocket.

otacon239 , to Microblog Memes in The game is still twelve days away

I’ve heard a stand up routine that was basically this and I’ve been trying to find it again ever since. I find this concept hilarious.

otacon239 , to Technology in Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX

I remember back in high school, this was the browser to have on your flash drive. So many built-in tools that were normally entire separate programs. It had an email client, BitTorrent, download manager, FTP client… all sorts of tools so you didn’t have to keep them all updated and portable separately.

It was a sad day when all of that started getting stripped out just to end up like every other Chromium copy on the market.

Been on Firefox ever since they took away my grid home screen.

Goodbye, my once good friend.🫡
