If Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal or Christian Älvestam mean anything to you, check this out!

Cipher System hasn't released music in over 10 years.

You owe it to yourself to go listen to Communicate The Storms album.

At the same time, I enjoy the parts that are good. I enjoy them a lot.

I have played this game series since the 90s.

I love this game.

And I am extremely conflicted about this version.

But I hope for the best, I have nothing but support for the teams at SI.

A lot of things can be fixed within 6 months, but a lot is also fundamental design choices that are not that easy to change.

I feel that they have gone a direction that is not working out, and they face a huge challenge in what to do next.

Football Manager 26 is a mess.

It is being rushed out the door in a state I would never have imagined.

It is in a state that I personally as a developer could never excuse.
This is clearly a business decision, they cannot afford to push it further.

Another possible reason could be that Angular (and Ember) come with architecture out of the box. There's a buy-in you have to make.

Others have had a lower initial step to understand the basics of getting something on the page, and perhaps quicker to cobble something together, well done or poorly.

It is.

One possible reason could be that it fell so far behind the rest of the community in terms of tooling and ecosystem.

Ember feels the same.

Both Angular and Ember have been playing catch-up for a long time now, and are nearly there!

Yes this version doesn't seem far removed from the alpha version.

More UI bugs and questionable UX than is reasonable in my opinion.

But the matches look and feel so good!

It's the span of Reasonable, Competent and Average that I find unintuitive, which is better than the other.

The Sleeping City by An Abstract Illusion is an amazing album!

The mix of death, black, progressive metal with excellent atmospheric sounds is just a treat to the ears.
Haven't heard music like this before.
Time to go back through their discography!

Got Fedora running on my MacBook Air. Looking forward to exploring a life without a Apple or MS OS for a while.

Globally democracy has regressed in the past 25 years to 1985 levels.

This includes the ability to print money out of thin air and buying it from you.

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

This is frightening. If there isn't footage of something people believe to be true, they'll make it.

This alone is enough for me to dismiss this technology as harmful to society.

It feels very nice to hear someone else sharing similar experiences in regards to LLMs and coding.

It's sometimes very lonely being a dev not using AI tools.

This sounds good, moving it away from Meta and into the community. Hope for the best.

Läser tweet från fd M-statssekreterare (nu chef för Svenskt Näringslivs tankesmedja) som försvarar utländska riskkapitalisters rätt att tjäna pengar på att undervisa svenska barn på engelska. I skolbolagets styrelse sitter två fd M-politiker. Även lobbychefen är fd M-politiker.

I can't stress enough how important it is to make an example here. Take all the money from these companies. Find alternatives.

Vote with your pockets because fundamentally money and power is everything to these insufferable pricks.
