Formerly known as Capric0rn


Recommended Posts

Not really an introduction but rather a re-introduction I guess.

Capric0rn was my former nickname. The reason why I changed it to Jamushroom is because I felt like I wanted to have a more original/unique name.

Each time when I wanted to register for a site/service the name Capric0rn would already be taken. Granted that it wasn't an original name and it's being used all over the web by others, it was becoming somewhat of a nuisance.

Then at some point last year I was brainstorming with a mate of mine and he told his little brother my real name. His little brother couldn't pronounce my real name so he called me Jamushroom Paper.

At that point it hit me that that should probably be my nickname. Thankfully it wasn't taken on any site/service that I use and I've been registering myself with this name on new services since then.

The links in my signature still all have their old usernames/links but will be changed to the new ones. Twitter is the first one that has been changed.

One thing's for sure, it feels weird to change my nickname on the web, haha.

Aw, now my "??" post looks all odd without the spam post, haha.

@Razorwing: I had figured as much :p

Just so we are clear; I only made this thread to let people, who knew me as Capric0rn, know that I have changed my nickname.

    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
