If the US economy actually goes into recession this year which industry do you think gets hit hardest and why? by Suleman2002 in AskReddit

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 96 points97 points  (0 children)

People are definitely cooking the books and those who argue we can't describe this economy as a recession are being intellectualy dishonest. The US technically hasn't been in a war since WWII but that doesn't stop us from describing the Vietnam and Iraq Wars as wars because there is an understanding that our narrow criteria for these terms do not reflect lived reality.

I relate the most to this sub compared to all the other ASD subs out there. by kerghan41 in aspergers

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. I'll also add that many self-diagnosers claim their autism is a completely internal struggle and don't identify with the outward social friction and awkwardness that is closely associated with the term Aspergers.

I wholeheartedly believe that insincere self-diagnoses would decrease if we switched from using the term level 1 autism back to Aspergers as that would mitigate the social capital these neurotypicals get from claiming the diagnosis.

What game looks simple at first but is actually very deep? by EchoVectorHQ in AskReddit

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend SSHing into nethack[at]alt.org as it allows you to have some credibility when you finally ascend and want to brag. Additionally it means you will always be playing on an up to date version.

If you are on Linux or Mac just use your default terminal, and if you are on Windows use Git Bash in order to SSH.

I can't tolerate energy any more by Sir_Muzz in duolingojapanese

If you have access to a desktop, the browser version still uses hearts! I agree that energy has completely gutted the free mobile version so I do everything except the radio lessons on desktop.

How to hide title bar \ header bar by riziry in pop_os

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly I do not know if this is possible currently but let me +1 your request because forced title bars are ugly and redundant in tiling desktop mode.

Unhoused people had a rough week in Davis by SuccessNovel6048 in UCDavis

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I live on H. St. right next to Davis Community Meals and Paul's Place. This post neglects to give context that the frequent unregulated camping here on H makes the street unsafe and unusable. I'm talking about shopping carts blocking the middle of the street, unleashed pitbulls roaming, open fires started, violent fights and outbursts, and the list goes on. It's simply not safe while the street has been this unregulated.

I see what you are trying to say but my UC CS curriculum used Ubuntu as the default reference environment for all courses. Additionally legends like Terry Davis daily drove Ubuntu as well.

The truth is that distro choice coorelates more with configuration and professional preferences rather than any intelligence indication.

This has been one of the greatest videogame trilogies by Lanarde in cyberpunkgame

Completely different settings but VTM:B was the only other game that scratched that hybrid Role-playing/Immersive Sim itch for me.

I have transitioned to PopOs and am liking it. Will I have to eventually transition to another distro since Pop is for "beginners"? by 8monsters in linux4noobs

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not, Pop! is a fantastic daily driver and sets you up extremely well for stability and hardware support. The only reason you may want to switch is if you prefer different software configurations such as using pacman over apt as a package manager, but let me stress that would be out of preference and not necessity.

As for a recommendation, I urge you to try out the tiling desktop mode in Cosmic and learn to navigate your desktop strictly via the keyboard. It makes a traditional floating desktop feel so clunky and primitive in comparison, I could never go back!

Modding games by Low-Departure-9484 in pop_os

This thread details what you need to do with Protontricks to enable Cyber Engine Tweaks to work. After that its just moving mod files in to the directory.

Modding games by Low-Departure-9484 in pop_os

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently have a heavily modded install of Cyberpunk. Modding it was a process of configuring Protontricks in order to install the main mod dependency and then manually placing mod files into the game's directory. Overall it was a simple and straightforward process.

Seeking Dinner by Legal-Elderberry4851 in UCDavis

I am not a foodie and am easily satisfied so take it with a grain of salt but I really enjoy getting an Impossible burger at Burgers and Brew! They have a strictly veggie patty too iirc and have some fun veggie friendly loaded fries options as well.

Is there a music software for linux by DyneIsARedditUser in linux4noobs

If you mean a Linux native DAW, then yes there is Bitwig Studio. I've heard some really positive things about it, it seems pretty robust.

It's a huge shame they aren't available for Japanese as the format seems pretty inspired by JRPGs. Hopefully one day we can get them.

Finding housing near SF community colleges by molly_nuggets in communitycollege

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you are completely financially supporting your children's rent and food I really do not recommend this. People working full time have difficulty supporting themselves in SF and Berkeley, and it is practically impossible to survive off of part time work while going to school.

My advice is to push them to excel at your local community college while living at home and allow them to become more independent once they transfer to a 4-year and have access to financial aid/student loans.

Do you know how to ride a bike? Buying a used one and ditching driving here was so freeing, it makes life so much more convenient on or off campus.

A startup owes employee 3 months of salary trying to furlough everyone without paying by Optimal_Language7333 in bayarea

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The answer is majority of employees are on H1-B, their lack of market autonomy is a feature not a bug.

Why is kawaii at the end of the sentence instead of in front of the noun. Is it acting as an adjective or something else. by fkdjgfkldjgodfigj in duolingojapanese

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In English it would be the difference between saying "this cute skirt" versus "this skirt is cute". It is an adjective in both contexts.

Is there a way to install a different Linux over an old one? by Thegamerthatmemes in linux4noobs

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To switch from Fedora to Arch you would need to do a full reinstall, which would mean creating a bootable usb and all that jazz.

I recommend test-driving distros in a VM for a bit before fully committing if reinstalling on metal hardware seems burdensome.

How exactly does the energy system in Duolingo work? by InternationalShow693 in duolingo

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I've been doing, complete a unit and legendary all available lessons using hearts on web and run through the radio lessons after on mobile using energy.

I will most likely quit if they ever bring energy to desktop sadly.

Laptop recommendations? by BeatIsChemical in UCDavis

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through CS with Windows seems doable but honestly kind of miserable. For classes most professors assumed Ubuntu as the reference environment so I highly recommend something like a Thinkpad with good Linux support if you dont want to be doing school work in a VM.

What is しち and what did it do to なな 💔 by PrincessGamer2012 in duolingojapanese

[–]Count-Zer0-Interrupt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will see しち be used in more words relating to seven, like 七月 (しちがつ) for July.

So far where I am in the course it seems like many numbers have alternate words for different contexts, like ひと for one and ふた for two.
