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.


I thought it was obvious, 2026 is going to be the year of the Linux desktop.


I live in Iceland and we try to predict volcanic activity all the time and it’s off by weeks or months. To be fair, that’s a blink of an eye on a geological scale so it’s pretty accurate but the nature of the problem is that you have so many forces that all interact with each other.
It’s pretty similar to “how far can you tip the chair back before it falls” but we don’t know the size, weight and shape of the chair really well. You just need one fracture in the rock from previous earthquake to throw all the calculations off.
I don’t know the context of the post but I imagine it’s media related, like a seismologist saying “could be as soon as tomorrow” and the journalist just saying “earthquake tomorrow”. Also seismologist don’t shut up is true.


When it goes on sale 5 years later probably

Yeah, it’s like bing but actually anonymous.
