It's amazing than reading the comments here makes me realize that even in "1st world countries" we all play the same ol' games (one flavor of UT, Other game that became a must for that specific LAN Party like Delta Force, and some other strategy game).
I used to be "the young guy" in my local group back in the late 2000's and I often wondered what games we would play if everyone had access to a top class PC back in the day.
I had absolutely no idea. I always saw him referred to as a final fantasy boss. I guess in mario rpg he's from that universe, but he's not actually from the universe. Crazy.
Culex uses the Final Fantasy 4 boss battle music, so some people mistakenly think he is from the game but it's just the music. I've played through FF4 over 10 times and he definitely is not in it ;)
I didn't do any cracking, but I was a teenager in the late 90s and I share your thoughts on the way that computers and the internet eventually opened up my experience. I ended up making friends with any internet café owner in my city because that was the only reasonable place to use the internet before broadband.
Happy to share! I ended up working for an ISP at 16 so I could have T1 access and free ISDN at home. I was lucky the scene provided motivation to teach myself Linux and sysadmin stuff, which is where my career ended up going at the time.
> gitui currently lacks essential features in git like push, pull, and checkout. The priorities are the basics (add, commit), and on features that are making me mad when done on the git shell, like stashes and hunks.
Hardly a better alternative if it doesn't have all the basic features.
I’ve been using tig for years and never did a push / pull / checkout with it. The git CLI works fine for that, so I understand the authors priority here.
From Mexico: We have a better system than the US when it comes to vote ballots and logistics, it's ironic that with all the resources they have, they are unable to do a better job than we do. It's really sad to see how the US politicians have used gerrymandering to drive the outcomes of the elections.
It's really encouraging that the people, despite the current situation, are going to vote no matter the time.
Border town developer here. Indeed, there's a ton of talent in Mexico's border towns (specially in Mexicali and Tijuana), highly qualified and with decent bilingual skills.
I think we should find a better way to heat ourselves without burning coal, because this air purifier will reach a limit in the future and we will be back on step one.
To reduce air pollution the Chinese government forbad heating with coal in some regions and installed gas pipes there. It turned out they severely underestimated the spike in demand in winter and the rising gas prices. Residents illegally switched back to coal heating because heating with gas was 2-3x more expensive. Later, the government officially sanctioned coal heating for the time being. So the Chinese government tries to get away from coal but it’s not as easy.
