One reason I’ve heard is that oiling up the pasta sort of saturates the surface making sauce stick less to it. But I also don’t think that matters much for leftovers, you’re already losing some “quality” compared to eating it fresh, and it sounds like a way to mitigate that.

IIRC he was telling people to spam sponsorblock with fake segments, because in some videos he had parts where he just stopped discussing the topic and talked to his (sickly?) cat when it came by, and people were accurately marking those segments as offtopic or whatever it’s called. He was presenting it as evil sponsorblock blocking his sick elderly cat. I could try to find a link later when I’m at my PC.

Other than that, he’s generally alarmist and arrogant, but I do appreciate him and what he’s doing.

Greentexts are popular outside of 4chan, good ones are often screenshotted and spread around. I don’t have proof that this is the actual original post, but here’s an image of the greentext on knowyourmeme: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2016597-greentext-stories

Heck, there’s at least one opensource generic steam emulator that you just drop into the game files. I used it before when messing around with modding a multiplayer game, to run multiple copies at once.

The short version is - if you’ve ever heard of infrared cameras that can see heat, that’s because everything glows based on heat. When things are very hot the glow is visible, but even cool things emit light outside of the visible spectrum. And emitting light takes energy, which means blackbody radiation (as this is called) takes energy (heat) away.

Are people seriously going to buy a console that doesn’t even read a disk, just to download a game from the internet?

Are you seriously asking? Because I’ve seen time and time again, the answer to those kinds of questions seems to be yes. I think most people just don’t care, and they don’t need to, they’ll only buy a few games in a console’s lifespan to play for multiple years, and they’ll either just pick up what’s popular, or whichever one has a game they want to play.

I’m pretty sure that’s a 4chan greentext, and I think it was even “Are you fucking sorry!?”. I also believe it was kicking a goalie in the face in a more outlandish scenario, followed by yelling that.

Router doesn’t matter if the device is trusted and the service you’re using doesn’t have shite security, with things like HTTPS.

Snail mail is traditional mail, in this case presumably sending a physical data storage device for those terabytes of data, which could maybe be faster and more reliable than networking it.

I suspect Valve knew what they were doing, and while they probably care more about having prebuilts with Steam preinstalled and convenient to use, they included desktop mode in SteamOS and made sure the steam deck was open to tinkering.

A little bit more than just hardware, it’s also official support from Valve, who are also the creators and maintainers of both Steam and SteamOS. We’ll see how much that counts for, I think Valve doesn’t have a great reputation for their support.

I think a more reasonable assumption (than trying to destroy the fediverse) would be marketing or propaganda - somebody creates users using LLMs, gets them accepted, legitimizes them by generating interactions, then either sells the accounts or uses them to sell a service to have them promote something, with a history that looks like a real user.

I don’t know about youtubers, but as far as I know SteamOS wasn’t meant to be installed on non-deck devices, being distributed only as updates (not sure how those work) and recovery images for reinstalling on your deck, with no support or even instructions for installing it elsewhere.

It’s not about SteamOS being stupid, it’s about it not even being meant to be an option - it had less support than those “random” other distros.

In addition to aforementioned current pricing problems, the steam machine also comes with a small form factor (which is difficult to build to work well, might need specially made parts to fit it) and a preinstalled easy to use console-like OS for gaming, presumably with support.

If you don’t care for those, then sure, not the target market. I’m not planning on buying one, but if I ever want a small form factor PC, this is going to be a serious contender - even if I end up putting a different distro on it, there’s real value in the form factor and presumably having hardware that’ll work well on Linux.

The screenshot looks like it might be a cloudflare verification page, which would put another layer of separation between the site owner and the QR system.

His brother, Iroh, was a better dad…and he got his son killed!

You know, I didn’t think about this and don’t remember if it’s been talked about, but was Iroh a good dad? He was a fierce general (or something) and a great warrior, until his son died, after which he changed. He’s an amazing uncle, of course, but that’s after his son’s death.

In defense of preorders, even if they can’t run out of stock, servers can get overwhelmed. If they also do preloading and don’t fuck up a day 0 patch, you can ensure you can play the game immediately.

I still wouldn’t preorder this kind of game, I wouldn’t trust them not to botch it every way imaginable, but I’m reminded of the Silksong release, which I would’ve trusted with a preorder and could’ve avoided dealing with Steam going down when trying to buy it ;D

I would have to learn […] what packages I need, what are the ups and downs of the various packages

I consider that important knowledge for just using and troubleshooting your system, and one of the great reasons to go through the installation process - knowing what you’re using and why means when you want to change the behavior of something or figure out why it broke, you’ll know what software to look for.

Not just something to do for fun, or to have precisely the right things, but so you understand what it is you truly do have. This isn’t to say your approach is invalid, but for me it’s a reason to recommend Arch for people who want to go through the learning process.

Also someone sent me a two hour long video on exploiting goomba behavior in Super Mario 64 for glitches

Pancake man strikes again! I think part of what makes pannenkoek’s videos so enthralling is how they all build together towards the ABC - it’s not just random bugs in an old game, it’s bugs that are being found for a cause by a community of enthusiasts.

Bro’s trying the genocide route now
