Why Platformer is leaving Substack

In case you haven't gotten sick of hearing me talk about this issue, I was on CBC-Yukon this morning talking about satellite pollution: cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-393…
The short version: satellites are super annoying for astronomy, but are completely terrifying for what they might do to the atmosphere as they deorbit in large numbers (and we don't actually know what they'll do - that's the scary part.)

Honestly, even if they do this, I cannot see why linux distributions can't just make the alias themselves.
As you said, it is not an extra maintainance burden. Some distros already have aliases for stuff like 'ls -a'. It could either be in the default bash config, or an actual script redirecting to the new command.
I actually really like openSUSE's solution to this where egrep and fgrep are just scripts:
#!/bin/shexec grep -E "$@"
#!/bin/shexec grep -F "$@"

Quite a blast from the past to see how things have changed.
The empty lot on the corner is now an apartment building, as is the old supermarket across the street. Small businesses in the neighborhood have changed.
The house where we lived (until about 1971) was repainted and has a picket fence.
The grammar school I attended now has a gate in front of the schoolyard.
@Richard I hadn't thought of that! I just checked from Craig's Hill to the high school where the buses were for taking me to Hebler (Ellensburg had more than one primary school even in the 60s), I would have been walking a little less than .7 miles. So, not quite 3/4 but a bit more than .5 miles.
Quite a blast from the past to see how things have changed. The railway track where we used to tape pennies in order to squash them, is now a walking track.

You know all the random unforced tech layoffs are just labor disorganizing, right?
That's it. That's all they are. They're making us play musical chairs with our jobs to keep us from ever building enough trust to organize. Their ideal outcome is a labor pool that's too traumatized and reactive to act collectively.
Just pushing everyone into a scarcity mindset on purpose. It's the whole US economy writ small.

Last Epoch to get 'Item Factions', a unique item trading system for the ARPG
Last Epoch is closing in on a full release and it's going to be a big one for ARPG fans, especially if you weren't fussed by the latest Diablo. Now they've revealed what they call Item Factions, a unique system to allow item trading between players.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I would love to see them optimize and fix the Linux version once the game is in full release.
Edit: Decided to relaunch the game today using the Linux native version and it worked great! I'm so stoked to play this now!

ELDEN RING gets patched to fix up anti-cheat on Steam Deck SteamOS
While no doubt many of you are waiting on more news about the upcoming ELDEN RING expansion, this is not it. Instead, a small update has rolled out to improve ELDEN RING on Steam Deck with SteamOS.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Would never play Elden Ring, but it's nice to know that anti-cheat systems are finally beginning to adopt Linux. Maybe that'll reach the ears of Freestyle 2: Street Basketball devs? 🤔

I didn’t hear about this project until you posted about it being taken down. I love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series so I’m really excited this is back up!
