  • Wanting to and actually doing it are two different things.

    The problem is that open source devs also have to be their own project managers, but those two jobs have very different skillsets.

    In regular software development, it’s the PM’s job to deal with the drama, filter the idiocy out and collect concise and actionable user stories, and let the developers just write code.

    In open source, you tend to deal with a lot of entitlement. All kinds of people, who never gave you a dime, come out out of the woodwork to yell at you over every little change. The bigger and farther reaching a project is, the more this happens, and it wears you down. I can only imagine what it’s like working on a huge project like GNOME.

    And the toxicity feeds into itself. Be kurt with one person, and suddenly it gets out that you’re an asshole to users. Then people come in expecting hostility and react defensively to every little comment. And that puts you in the same mindset.

    At the end of the day, you can’t satisfy everyone. Sometimes you gotta figure out how to tell someone their feature request is stupid and you’re not gonna work on it, especially not for free. And a lot of people need to learn to try to fix problems themselves before opening an issue. That’s kind of the whole point of open source.



  • At this point, no. But it’s still incredibly annoying and a little spooky when I’m laying in bed and I see my computer screen light up in the next room when it’s not supposed to.

    It’ll even wake itself from sleep when it wants to update, but it won’t start it automatically, I think because it hits the lock screen.

    I’ll probably try Linux on ir when Windows 10 hits EOL.



  • It definitely tastes different from the bottle than from the fountain.

    I think out of the fountain it’s gonna be a little watered down for a couple of reasons:

    • I can only imagine franchise owners set the fountains to run a little light on syrup to save money
    • the ice is gonna start melting as soon as the soda hits it since it’s not chilled below freezing, and the dissolved syrup will lower the freezing point of water like salt does

    The bottle has also likely been sitting around for a few days to weeks, and more of the carbon dioxide will have converted to carbonic acid, which will affect the taste.

    The recipe may actually be a little different for the fountain syrup vs the bottled stuff for these reasons.

    If you’ve never gotten a fountain drink without ice, it’s worth trying. It goes warm quicker but won’t get watered down. I used to think people who asked for no ice in their drinks were just picky. However, I recently started ordering my drinks that way because I’d sometimes notice a chemical taste as the ice melted and it’d sour my stomach pretty badly. That never happens when I get my drinks without ice.

    I don’t think any of this is unique to Baja Blast though. Pretty much every soda tastes completely different between bottle and fountain, and also with or without ice.




  • This only happens when both network connection on the host are active.

    I’m not a networking expert by any means but this seems like a pretty strong hint that it’s a routing issue.

    Check the routing tables on the host? I’d bet that the internet is only reachable on the LAN interface (again, not an expert but one of them has to take priority, right?). I’m guessing that disconnecting the LAN interface changes the routing to go through the WLAN interface instead.

    You could possibly add a static route to work around this: https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#static-routes



  • You know you’re getting old when you go to the MILFs category and see women your age or younger.

    Also, has anyone else noticed the explosion of stepmom/stepsister stuff? It’s so weird to me, like soft incest. Has the dating scene gotten so bad that the most believable way someone could get laid is by banging someone they already live with?
