A bit like a syllable when you are talking about text based responses. 20 tokens a second is faster than most people could read the output so that’s sufficient for a real time feeling “chat”.

I like “little things please little minds” which actually finishes with “while greater fools look on” again completely reversing the meaning.

I’d like to get rid of my front lawn, the maintenance of it is a massive mental strain, it always feels like an insurmountable job. I’d also like another raised bed in the back garden for veg!

We need more well built fridges

God only knows, I’m just impressed it still functioned after exploding.

Wait, so after it exploded it was still working enough for Tesla to remotely open the doors and download the camera footage?

Making the effort to be the upbeat Christmassy one for the benefit of the rest of the family today. We’ll see how much social battery I’m left with by the end of it!

Found it!

I’m just starting to get into aquariums. Had one as a kid and now that I’ve got my own place I can do the naturalistic planted tank(s) of my dreams! Got the substrate and hardscape sorted yesterday, going back to the shop for plants today!

First tank is only 27L but a friend gave me a 65L one that is going to be epic!

For me learning I was aroace was hugely freeing, realising I could just opt out of the whole dating mess

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

Much better than expect. This has been the first year where we’ve had someone outside of our immediate family join us (my brother’s girlfriend) and it’s been very pleasant.

Going to start working my way through the Christmas ales I’ve been saving now!

In fairness, games are still something I’m willing to pay for and books. I think probably because Kindle and Steam are better user experiences than pirating those.

I used to have a moral objection to piracy, I thought that if a piece of media is good enough that I enjoy it then the people that made it deserve to be paid for their work.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that even if I do pay for something there is no guarantee that the people that worked on it will get their fair share and paying for media is increasingly a worse user experience than piracy.

I turned down a few graphic settings but honestly thoughly playable. Looking forward to performance patches so I can turn some of the eye candy back on

I’m enjoying it. I’ve remembered that I’m terrible at building cities, but I’m having fun while coming to that realization again! Performance is mid 50fps with about 5000 people at 1080p with a 2080 super and a ryzen 3600x.

On day 8 out of 8 in a row at work. Got 3 days off starting tomorrow and Cities Skyline 2 to dig into.

Omg, they have an arm Linux version. That’s going right on my Chromebook tomorrow!

Thank you for keeping on top of this Chris. I’m having a heavy week at work and I’ve not kept up with what’s working and what isn’t so your updates have been invaluable.

When I’ve got some days off I’m probably going to spin up a viewtube or invidious instance on either my home server or VPS and have done with it!
