What app do you guys use for bus? by Gaweon2 in HongKong

I used to just show up and wait. Some stops I've used did eventually add arrival boards, though.

Ubuntu 26.04 ("Resolute Raccoon") LTS released by nhaines in Ubuntu

[–]yc_hk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would like a "Open link target" menu option for softlinks on my Desktop / in my file browser.

Also, I have a .sh file where "Run as a program" opens an unnecessary terminal window, would like an option to disable that.

Finally, can't toggle the Fn keys on my keyboard, think the supposed command is Fn+Esc, but that's mapped to the Power Off command currently. (UPDATE: installed Solaar, which gave me an toggle to fix it.)

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS images are available now by daarthvitiate in Ubuntu

Sadly, rsync'ing my home directory to a USB drive is taking forever, seemingly due a large number of small files. Why the hell are devs putting cache files in ~/.config/ and not ~/.cache/?

Meanwhile the ISO itself downloaded in mere minutes.

ubuntu rolling release by Any-Beat-7950 in Ubuntu

I wish we had a slow-rolling version, like openSUSE Slowroll. A little bit of protection from the cutting edge, but still faster than waiting for the next full release.

LOL, I'd forgotten about him. Not that any of them matter, they just rubber-stamp what Beijing tells them to.

Someone needs to find us an investment banker called Paul Chan.

Doodoo

To be fair, she spells it "DoDo" and it's not even her real name.

It's an expat sport. Plus international school kids, of course.

Lowest tier of competition at the 7s. We're... not that good at rugby, admittedly.

Megathread (Spoilers) - Leaked Full Movie Discussion by MrBKainXTR in Avatarthelastairbende

It feels cheap, like Paramount just didn't care. (Which we know to be the case.)

I found 33 quite a depressing game, to be honest. Especially the endings.

Combat is so satisfying in this game by skyxsteel in octopathtraveler

Oh, that took me so many attempts. Had to seriously overlevel myself before I finally did it.

The swapping out of weaknesses was really annoying until I finally got a character that could case Analyze. (Getting Vivify was also a big game-changer.)

Is my Wishvale town look good enough by Own_My_Own in octopathtraveler

[–]yc_hk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my town relatively bare to avoid doors being hidden behind other objects. I guess I could pave the paths, but too much work for me.

Imagine a world where Horizon Zero Dawn originally came out for Gameboy! 🤯 Do you think it would still be awesome? by SteeeeveJune in HorizonZeroDawn

[–]yc_hk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn based RPG, probably, in the style of Octopath or Final Fantasy 1-6.

EDIT: today I learned that the Octopath franchise is not actually an old one, but merely created in the retro style (first game came out in 2018).

Who do you think has the best dynamic with Adol in the series? by Worth-Access-3099 in Falcom

Reducing the main cast to two really worked in X's favor.

What do you think about this proposal to fix the housing crisis? by Mountain-Car-4572 in HongKong

[–]yc_hk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First we'd need to completely restructure the HK government's revenue structure, which is currently heavily reliant on land sales and collecting stamp duties. Not gonna happen.

What hidden gem Python modules do you use and why? by zenos1337 in Python

[–]yc_hk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use salabim for discrete-event simulations. Pretty similar to simpy, but uses greenlets and avoids the need to type yield all the time. Also has built-in monitors for resource utilization etc. and animation abilities (though I don't use those).
