Caveman

It’s based on usage. R word is tainted now, this might change in the future or not. Language doesn’t care about etymology, only about usage. If the usage is generally negative and implies inferiority of a minority it’s a slur.

Calling someone an idiot doesn’t imply that disabled people are inferior, which makes it ok to use.

I think Qualcomm drivers are the least of our problems. Getting all the other drivers for 5G, GPS, gyro, accelerometer, compass, WiFi etc is going to be an issue since they’re all vendor loaded blobs now.

Turns out you can, by using () instead of {} in the function declaration you can run the function in a subshell where changes to variables are scoped to the subshell and functions are local.

You’re not forced into global forced variables, but they’re the default. Use the local keyword in front of the variable declaration for nicely scoped variable.

It’s not that cumbersome to do things like

local date=`date`
echo "$date"

but in all honesty the syntax sucks ass because it’s not intuitive. If statements suck ass, passing variables has to be done via command line arguments sucks ass, switch statements suck ass, making structured data sucks ass (jq is nice though).

I agree with you that bash really sucks when you get to anything more than 10 lines and at that point I’d take literally prefer Dreamberd.

Yeah, it’s like bing but actually anonymous.

Tech savvy people like Duckduckgo, Duckduckgo uses Bing under the hood

It’s pretty simple actually. Mine runs the program as it would normally and whenever the program reaches out to say “create this file” or “load this font” for example Wine will grab that call and translate it into a Linux OS command. As long as the program gets all their Windows API calls and windows specific files requests satisfied it will happily continue.

This is why ARM support is such a hassle for wine since the processor is with a different architecture so the compiled binary needs to be translated as well with all the nuances.

If you’re willing to spend some money on cheating there’s no way to prevent people from just aimbotting based on video output and feeding it as USB mouse commands. These anti-cheat systems are just shit solutions compared to server-side culling, superhuman reflex detection and report/review systems with premium servers and bans. Just give people in-game currency for correctly agreeing with the consensus and some people will go nuts on it for less than $1 per hour of in-game items.

Anti-cheat systems basically fuck with the kernel so if a game has it there’s a case for not playing it.

Now let’s prove that 7x6 is also the answer to the ultimate question.

Or as ancient Romans and Greeks it’s justified if you’re fucking a guy in the ass, but not when you’re taking it in the ass.

My takeaway is that as soon as acceptance goes past 50% it really speeds up by double digits each generation.

I think the reverse is “Homosexuality can almost always or always be justified”. Then as a further “If yes, does homosexuality require justification?” can be added.

The opposite to yours would be “Homosexuality doesn’t require justification” which would likely have different results.

“Copilot, download the latest drivers and make it easy for me to update them” and it gives you some Driver Helper malware

Ah, the power bottom.

Fuck it, just make them work like Flatpaks or snaps and run a minimal android session on top of virtual hardware and install like normal.

On the steam hardware page it says the CPU and GPU are discrete although also “semi-custom” which I think means it’s not Gigabyte and has some cooling features that are tailored to the form factor.

I know my case is specific but having a Jellyfin running on a Steam computer looks to me as good case for having a computer in the living room. Adding a TV applications to Steam such as Netflix is also a case. Then there are people who have their workstation close to the TV so they can use it instead of their laptop and just switch displays with one of these HDMI branching dongles.

We are both actively exploring the stars and the ocean. There’s still a lot we don’t know and there’s still plenty of species being discovered in rainforest all the time.

Bacterias and viruses are also something that you can never finish exploring and there are for sure weird creatures like tardigrades that are still undiscovered.

You’re just in time to discover genetics, epigenetics, biomechanics of nutrition, chemistry, biochemistry, how to make custom creatures from DNA building blocks, protein folding applications, mysteries of how the brain works and even math as mature as it is also has tons of undiscovered parts.

Sure you might be too late and to early for a couple of specific things but science discovery is absolutely exploding and random average Joe types are discovering things all the time. I think on the contrary now is one of the most likely things where you can just flat out discover something about the world that nobody has discovered before.

I wanted to be an inventory that makes crazy gadgets or as wealthy as Scrooge McDuck.

I really hope VR takes off. I haven’t been able to play VR because of Linux support issues or needs a PS5 and not that many titles I’m interested in are available, there is No Man’s Sky, Serious Sam, Skyrim and some others. But fuck, I imagine playing Armored Core 6 with VR would be bonkers. Like having strapping into a Mech with a HUD and rockets flying all over.

I imagine retrofitting games to provide two provide two camera views instead of one wouldn’t be super crazy work so just having more people with VR would increase the title count by a lot.

I’m currently looking at it costing me a fair bit of money to actually get a setup. Probably $500 for a used GPU and another $1200 for the headset that I barely can use with a young baby at home but in 5 years I could see myself getting into it.

One other thing that is understated is that this time it’s a buy once for a more than adequate system that has forward and backwards compatability with the Steam catalog of VR games.
