Aha, thanks.

Yeah I noticed some of the cabinet (Angela Raynor, Ed Milliband) had right honourable, but not all, but I didn't know the criteria.

I think he has that title too by virtue of being an MP, not the PM.

other MPs (I assume all but could be wrong) are also Right Honourable.

I 100% agree with the sentiment here, almost exactly what I said to my wife about the perfect blend; it's uniquely Doctor Who.

However, the gravity bit is almost certainly not unnecessary, because they kept saying "mavity" for the rest of the episode. It's a clue. This is no longer our universe, shenanigans are already afoot. There's definitely a reset coming at some point, because it's not going to be "mavity" for the rest of the show's life.

And the Doctor is aware (his facial expressions whenever "mavity" was said, and he said "gravity" near the end), but Donna isn't (she didn't know what he meant when he said "gravity" near the end)

Speak for yourself

My guess is a typo, possibly supposed to be 11 or 12? Is 1998 too early for TF2 design to be occurring?

Team Fortress 2 was announced in 1998

According to Wikipedia. So that looks plausible.

The post however talks about gathering feedback from players of TFC, which didn't come out until 99. Maybe Robin meant the original mod, which he also worked on, or maybe he just misremembered at what point TFC came out or when they actually explored the death stuff that resulted in the freezecam.

This reminds me of my practice French oral exam at school, so not a typo but still:

As part of the conversation my teacher asked what sort of things I liked to read, and I decided to talk about a then popular technology magazine called T3.

"T trois" sounds rather like "Tais toi" (shut up), and she was a bit taken aback!

Thankfully though we learned not to use that in the real exam.

lazy today

I can sympathise.

Thanks, and thanks for posting all these! Definitely a highlight of my feed.

Any chance of reverting the date format?

• I find it hard to read generally in my feed since it's shorter and just numbers
• but also, the old format is unambiguous; the new format is literally only used in the USA.

Thanks for the tips.

I'm a dev by day, and no stranger to bash/zsh and powershell. That said I don't want to constantly be tinkering in the terminal just to use my OS.

Cheers for the pointer to Nobara, I'll look into that as an option too!

Agreed. I have a deck and I'm now definitely gonna switch my main pc from Win10 to Linux. Steam deck desktop mode helped show me I could be comfortable using it, and the deck in general showed the gaming support is there nowadays.

I now see no reason to not put Linux on my desktop. Just deciding on which distros to check out. Probably mint. Maybe garuda...

My anecdotal experience is that Apple silicon support is not usually a major problem. Plenty of stuff seems to be fine through Rosetta. The worse case is 32 bit only games which are unsupported in modern macos versions regardless of CPU arch.

The client on macos was buggy as hell, but after the UI refresh update a month or two back it's fine again now
