The Guinness substitute worked out, the Irish stew was bloomin great. Made a huge batch so several meals worth going in the freezer for another day, the Instant Pot we bought last year has been great for bulk winter food like this (and batch curries)
@khalidabuhakmeh I say this as someone who hated IDE VCS integration with such a passion that I wrote my own dedicated Git tools in protest. Rider is literally the first IDE where I like the VCS interface and use it for almost everything. So, good job
@JeremiahFieldhaven I basically have 3 blockers: 1. UE is worse (slower, flakier) - may get better? 2. Affinity doesn't have a Linux version (apparently works in Bottles, don't know how well) 3. Excel. Needed for important spreadsheets, although I've used OpenOffice & Numbers in the past, nothing has worked as well.

So on the plus side (albeit an epsilon that rounds out in real terms) I’m now even more motivated to try to make Linux work for me on the desktop, eventually.

Beginning to suspect my boot SSD might be failing, it’s 3 years old and the stop code indicated a corrupt page file index.🫤 On the plus side I discovered the built-in Windows Reliability Monitor which shows you a history of all your errors. Nice tool! It felt like the last one was only a couple weeks ago, but it was actually almost a month.
@ben that what they tell themselves but it’s bullshit. We had decades of limited companies with shareholders where it just wasn’t driving the priorities like it is now. They’ve collectively *decided* that share price is the number 1 priority, but that’s not a required state of governance at all and never has been
