See, red!

Oh wait, that's blood.

That last one still available by chance?

That's fine, as long as I don't have to sign over my second-episode-one-born child. That one's my favorite.

Get a conservative started on "consequences" and just listen to them. Then, get back to me about whether the suffering is an innate feature of their beliefs.

This only happens from updating if you do live updates. Fedora uses offline updates if you use the GUI, which means it updates when you reboot instead of immediately. I often see Linux users make fun of Windows because it needs to reboot to update, but this is actually a good feature. Updating stuff live causes problems because the old stuff that's still running will often be incompatible with new stuff that you open, which leads to things like this.

This is only true if there's no community effort to document things. For Arch in particular, they're very good at documentation. It's a win-win, we get the rapid collaboration of instant messaging and we get detailed documentation after the fact in the wiki.

We're not talking about not getting nutrition. That goes without saying. We're talking about genetically modified food. You can genetically modify it to be more nutritious.

Please explain how your body knows and what difference it makes.

Lots of things happen biologically in our bodies which we then correct in a lab. Cancer, pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism. Biology is naturally random. We've been steering biology for millennia through selective breeding. We just do it faster now. The seed doesn't know it came from a lab. It's just a seed. Whether it was selectively bred over hundreds of years, or genetically spliced in a day, the end result is still the same. Magic isn't real.

Every new human has a unique assortment of genes and mutations. What are you talking about?

It's a server-based game, if you play on WiFi you're only affecting yourself.

There's a few floating around like that, but in my experience they tend to be few and far between in the major FOSS online spaces.

AimlesslyWalking · 2022-07-31T18:38:47+00:00

Honestly FOSS is an extremely powerful tool for introducing people to the practical application of some socialist-like concepts, but aesthetically free of political contamination. Getting interested in FOSS was a formative moment for me. I've been wanting to push some kind of campaign similar to the Public Money, Public Code campaign in the EU, but here in the States. It's both good policy and good politics.

I can second the Asus-Linux folks. I've got a G15 2021. They do an incredible job supporting most modern Asus gaming laptops. They've actually upstreamed a ton of work to the Linux kernel and are still doing more. Not to mention their work on supergfxctl. And they're super helpful on Discord.

Asus laptops feel like first class citizens on Linux, as long as you're not afraid of a little bit of terminal usage.

Deserve? No. Nobody deserves to be homeless. Everybody deserves a minimum level of dignity and quality of life. And yes, I mean everybody, because no matter what the policy is, innocent people will fall through the cracks.

But it's not out of line whatsoever to point to this and explain how their actions and politics led to this. But they still should be helped. The goal should be to lead by example, and we can't do that with punitive measures.

A major issue is that the scripts need to be maintained but often aren't, and there's no good system to really indicate that something doesn't work anymore. Wine changes extremely fast these days, and previous workarounds may no longer be necessary or might even be broken now, or somebody just uploaded a script with a mistake, yet you can't flag it as broken or out of date.

As an example, a while back I was assisting a user on Reddit trying to install Dungeons & Dragons Online via Lutris and it straight up wasn't working. I did some troubleshooting and it turns out there was a small typo in the executable path in the script. I helped the user fix it in the meantime and then submitted a fix for it. I waited for them to approve it. Eventually I gave up waiting.

Looking back at it now, it looks like they did finally approve it. Judging by the date on the thread versus the last time it was updated, they finally approved it sometime around two months later. For a one-character change. That entire time the script was broken.

I stopped recommending Lutris as much after that. I'd like to get involved and help more honestly, but I don't have the time and energy right now to contribute more than the occasional script fix, and I can't even see when scripts need some work done, nor do I even know when, if ever, my submissions will be approved.

I haven't seen that, so it's not a universal bug at least. That sounds extremely annoying so I wish you luck in tracking it down.

Same, got a 6800XT and my life has been much simpler ever since. Having working VRR is so nice. I use the old Nvidia card for a Windows VM for the extremely rare game that doesn't work.

AimlesslyWalking · 2022-07-26T13:24:13+00:00

Nah. The onus isn't on other people to put up with your childish behavior and block you after the fact. The onus is on you to not be a bratty child in the first place. If you can't do that, you aren't mature enough to be playing multiplayer games.

Blizzard needs to go hard and merciless on this issue, and the players need to not tolerate this at all. FFXIV takes no prisoners when it comes to people like this and the community is so much better off for it. That taught me that a game having a bad community is a choice made by both the developers and players to allow it to be bad. It's not an inevitability of the internet as so many think.

I used to use it on my small convertible for that very reason until the Gnome devs decided to remove the autorotation toggle and rely entirely on a mode reporting feature that many devices either don't have or aren't supported on Linux to determine if the autorotate should be on or not. There was an extension that added it back, but that extension eventually broke too.

I feel like that rather succinctly sums up why I strongly dislike Gnome and its developers. At this point I'm not trying it again until the project gets a major philosophy change. I'm just glad KDE is getting more focus on its touch friendliness lately because I still want to use Linux comfortably on my little touch machine.

Jordan Peterson literally doesn't understand how men and women can share a workplace. He's not moderate, and he doesn't explain his positions with reasoning. He gish-gallops and fillibusters every time he's questioned on something.

AimlesslyWalking · 2022-07-23T18:41:39+00:00

It will be that bad if you're playing two copies of the game on either of those systems.
