I’m back on Windows 11 for the first length of time in a while, after a hardware switch.

It’s aggravating as hell with all the popups and embedded ads. My last update just straight up failed and had to revert.

I also don’t get what Windows users are talking about when they say Linux is harder. Every time I have to change a minor setting in Windows, it feels like I’m picking through 20 years of legacy dialogs, and I never know which layer of legacy it’ll be buried in.

Cool. I’d love it if you post the final product when you’re done.

Seems like a cool project. It always felt like a captain’s chair to me.

Holy moly, I have a very similar chair but in red. I just got it so I could have a robust chair at bar-height.

My problem is that removing the footrest portion leaves mounting brackets poking out at whichever point you remove it. So I’m particularly interested in your process for chewing through any metal bits around there.

I don’t have trek-thematic advice, but I can tell you that little chrome armrest bit is the perfect size to rest a normal-sized trackball.

I’d usually be inclined to agree with you, except no one in gamedev would have balked at the final position. 2.5% revenue share over 1m is less than Unreal even.

Maybe it’s a tactic they believed they were using. But that would just be a different kind of stupid, because they burnt a lot of trust over something no one would care about.

It could be another kind of bluff though. It could have been the CEO signalling he’s the toughguy who’s willing to make tough decisions so he can get some job down the line.

You’ll be happy to know there’s a social media site just like lemmy run by capitalists. It has all the benefits that capitalist ownership provides.

They’re called that because they’re hard-baked.
