@aral Pretty sure they aren’t deleting x11 from the repository, just not installing it by default. It will still be seconds away for anyone that wants or needs it.

Had to reinstall Unity to fix a build issue on a contract project and it decided that everything needing reimporting... again. I'm now an hour into a multi-hour build while Unity consistently sips much less than half of my available CPU cycles. They really really really need to import assets in parallel. Multi-core CPUs have been a thing for _so_ long at this point. :( Since the editor runs the build, you can't even do *anything* else while it runs.

I can, in fact, *not* appreciate that. Neither can I respect it.

@killyourfm Peer pressure! Though if my wife asks where I disappeared to for several months I'm going to tell her you said it was ok. >_>

@killyourfm Fair enough. It's possible that the game I really want is Elite Dangerous, which I bought several years ago and haven't dared to play yet... It sounds like the sort of thing I would get sucked right into. >_>

@killyourfm Nooooo! Piloting is the best part of space games. Augh!

@AngryAnt @MouseByTheSea @Nifflas @mcc Worse... My first "real job" used a VSS knockoff called SourceGear Vault. Not only was it painful, and had zero merge functionality (we maintained 6 active branches O_o), but it consistently blue screened Vista if you locked the screen while it was open!

@AngryAnt @Nifflas @mcc Haha. Same. Git often makes me grumpy, but every alternative I've tried always makes me more grumpy. >_< I used to think that Subversion was the bee's niece, but it feels so unproductive to me now. :-\

@killyourfm @tamitha @vkc @JoeRess Eh. I mean is it piracy if I don't actively listen to the ads too? That's part of the contract too. I tend to mute or walk away during ads and don't feel bad about that. I've *never* interacted with a "now from our sponsor" either. On the other hand I spend ~$60/month on Patreon

@killyourfm Yup, all the time. When I figure out the solution to a problem, I usually feel compelled to follow all the way through. Hard to focus the next day after such a burst of productivity.
