  • It costs ~$150 to build your own CO2 carbonation setup. After that, refills are pretty infrequent at ~$10. That gets you relatively unlimited sparkling water.

    If you’re jonesing for specific flavors, flavor powders, extracts, and raw sucralose in bulk on Amazon will run you around $20, or ~$100 total for a decent assortment. It’ll pay for itself in like a year and the powders will last you awhile.







  • Their official phone app was, and still is, garbage. So I used a 3rd party app.

    When Reddit killed API access, they did it in such a way that it killed that entire ecosystem abruptly. I’d have happily paid a small fee for API access to continue using the site, but no such option existed. Even at this point I’d still do it but that option still isn’t there in a way that’s useful.

    After that, I found out that the 3rd party app i liked the most, Sync (on Android), had a Lemmy version. So I downloaded it to try it out. And here I am.





  • Felt the same. I dropped the Witcher after 10 hours. A solid try, in my estimation. I usually quit games around the 2 hour mark if I’m not feeling it.

    I was in a bit of a depressive rut when I started c2077 so I just kinda plowed through the beginning not knowing if I didn’t enjoy it because of the game itself or if I was on the edge of offing myself. Whichever reason it was, after the world opened up a bit I started to fall in love with the characters and story about 15 hours in. Which is a huge ask. If you’re into games as a storytelling medium, it’s a 10/10. On a mechanical level, it’s about a 7/10 for me. It’s ok throughout, and even really great for some of the set pieces.








  • I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn’t go to school for CS.

    Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste… on Windows.

    When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.

    Despite all that, us “regular” engineers were consigned to Windows.

    We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn’t need to be installed.
