I started this one in the middle of my 7 day camping trip last week. Maybe a quarter of the way through right now. Good so far, the first King book I’ve rear since around Gerald’s Game somewhere.

Never thought about that before, but it looks delicious.
I might have almost destroyed a monitor with bad XFree86 timings on Slackware once or twice. Pulled the plug on that thing pretty fast.
I’m pretty sure I used one that was terminal based, likely using ncurses. Without searching, I can’t recall the name of it, though.
I used XMPP a bit among friends, more so when Google supported it, which was probably after ICQ/AIM/MSN wasn’t as popular? I don’t really talk to many people anymore, so whatever, heheh :)
It would be nice to see XMPP make some kind of “comeback” … or some sort of popularity boost like mastodon/lemmy/etc in recent times.
Google literally didn’t exist when I first was thrust into vim (well, vi) a large number of years ago ;) Pretty sure I eventually gave up and closed the terminal window - dialed directly into the university’s unix server. Can’t remember which version of unix it was, though.
It was probably the default editor for tin, the usenet client I was using. At least pine used pico as its editor which was a bit more friendly.
I drop by /. once or twice a year… definitely not the same as it used to be. Even remember when they added accounts, I ended up with a sub-400 uid even though it felt like I took a while to bother.
Kinda funny they stil have aim/icq fields on your user info page…
At this point - nothing. I’ve been less and less happy with that place lately, and this is just the final push. Hopefully I’ll find a lot of the same things either here, or somewhere else, or just not at all I guess.
Destiny 2 was one I wanted to mess around with a little recently, since the game itself was interesting enough to me. Got bored probably nowhere close to the end of the long and boring tutorial section. There are others that I can’t recall the name of, too. Obviously not memorable enough.
I think modern games in general hold your hand too much. Some small level of hand holding/tutorial is fine, but so many take it way too far. I’ve gotten bored of a lot of games before they actually started because of that.
Also chinesewatches, for great value watches and less snobbery that seems to be in watches on reddit :)
A new fire risk forecast shows that risk remains well above average in parts of every province and territory except Newfoundland and Labrador
It’s been wet and barely above freezing here in NL… classic June weather ;)
I’ve been happy with Porkbun as well, I just need to finish moving the rest of my domains over there to keep them all in one place so I don’t forget any.
While fine for me, I thnk this is going to be one of the bigger hurdles for newer users. It’s not the most obvious, really. I’m not sure what could help, maybe some bookmarklet exists to make it simpler to subscribe via the instance you’re using?
Using the arrow keys to go to the entry and pressing shift+delete works for me
