I played Underwater Cities twice and improved from 72 to 83 points, still far from the 100-point solo target. This card-driven worker placement game has that "just one more play" feeling. Material quality is disappointing, but the gameplay is excellent. I immediately wanted to start over after each game.

Lemmy seems to be anti-AI, at least from my impression, but I am hopeful that AI will help invigorate the open source software world. If people can code better, faster, cheaper, safer (more secure) that will surely apply to open source as well. AI coding tools could bring on the Linux mainstream revolution. Imagine thousands of autonomous agents refining software for Linux. There could be a glut of driver support, apps coming to Linux, and so much more. I am hopeful about it.

@GottaLaff @virtualbri that man is worth nowhere near what Forbes says he is. Everything he does reeks of desperation. Scrabbling for cash in government servers when you're the "richest man in the world", getting your senile daddy to sell your crappy product outside his house, isn't a good look. I reckon he's underwater.
