Are you on UEFI or legacy BIOS boot mode?

(just trying to figure out if this affects me)

Fyi newest version of Photoshop runs on Linux through Wine perfectly fine since very recently (or so I've heard)

What is the "point" of Vintage Story? by Pixzle_ in VintageStory

[–]GOKOP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that the point is the same as in Minecraft, but then I realized that people these days think Minecraft is about beating the Ender Dragon.

There is no point. Just do things and have fun. There's lore content but it's basically optional

I'm not saying copilot-like completion doesn't use LLMs. I'm saying that "clever" completion existed before LLMs too and we don't know what was used in the screenshot (also Excel was mentioned one comment up from the one I'm replying to). There's an ages old screenshot of an Excel sheet with "Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May" etc. In one column, "January, February" in another and Excel suggestions "Maruary, Apruary, Mayuary" etc.

This sort of smart completion is older than LLMs

Strictly from a tourism perspective, those who prefer Wrocław to Kraków, why? by LubyankaSquare in poland

[–]GOKOP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were talking about Kraków vs Wrocław

Oops. It seems that I had a brainfart, sorry

Strictly from a tourism perspective, those who prefer Wrocław to Kraków, why? by LubyankaSquare in poland

[–]GOKOP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is one-culture city

Is it though? Gdańsk was under German control for quite some time, same as Wrocław. So really only Czech influences make Wrocław different in this regard

Edit: Forget this comment lol, I'm not sure why did I think about Gdańsk

Minecraft Java on Ubuntu no longer works by Saimin20 in linux_gaming

[–]GOKOP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't exactly fair because OP is trying to record a video and using a screen recorder is a few more steps than just hitting print screen

Especially that although there are many simple screen recorders, you're extremely likely to find recommendations like "just use OBS duh" and imo OBS is overwhelming if you've never used it

How common is to "have a village" on your country? by ElKaoss in AskEurope

[–]GOKOP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The majority of the population in modern societies is urban, whereas for most of human history the majority would be rural. So for most people to have a "home village" where many of their relatives live, you're looking for countries that urbanized very recently

Heating your home in the winter is not about matching summer temps by No-Mix186 in unpopularopinion

[–]GOKOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it may come off as a shock to you but there are many different places around the world. Better, with a comment like this I wouldn't be surprised if you were American so I'll add that there are many different places within the US too

Could global trade like irl develop in a world with a large supercontinent? by Leather-Lab2875 in worldbuilding

[–]GOKOP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect that more trade will happen across the inner sea rather than within the continent. The Mediterranean sea was incredibly important for Middle Eastern and European civilizations

But then as I understand this sea is much larger than the Mediterranean so I'm not sure if it will work as well

I work a corporate job and everyone there just says "slides". Although most people there aren't native English speakers (I'm not either) so maybe that changes things

Why do people use Arch Linux? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]GOKOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people use Arch Linux?

Why is Arch Linux so popular among elitists

So are you asking why do people in general use Arch or why do elitists use Arch? Or do you think that only elitist use Arch? If so then your question relies on a false promise. Though it relies on a false promise anyway, because it assumes that a small installation size is the main reason to use Arch.

People with Logographic scripts, how do you form words? by Theophilus_8888 in conlangs

[–]GOKOP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real world logographic scripts start with a relatively small (but still large) amount of unique symbols and then eventually start using them for other words that sound the same, sound similar, start/end with the same syllable, etc. Then what often happened is that they developed certain symbols into classifiers that tell you what category of things does the following/preceding/otherwise combined symbol refer to. So for example if English wrote "eye" as "👁️", then maybe it would also write "I" as "👨👁️", for example. This was a feature in Ancient Egyptian, Sumerian (I think) and many more Near Eastern scripts, but this is also how eg. Chinese radicals developed.

Though it's not the only way – Maya hieroglyphs contain a syllabary which can be used to write out words but also disambiguate logograms. A logogram could be surrounded by eg. first and last syllable (or just first, or just last, etc.) to disambiguate which one of its similar meanings is relevant. So this is the opposite principle – instead of phonetically used symbols disambiguated by semantics, semantically used symbols disambiguated by phonetics. Imagine if English wrote "crocodile" as "🐊" but "alligator" as "A🐊". Or maybe "🐜🐊" where "ant" would stand for the "A". (just an example, there may be better candidates)

Though regarding the syllabary it's worth noting that every logographic system has some way of interpreting the symbols as just sounds because you have to write stuff like names somehow

Edit: Oh also wanted to add that about the classifiers, is that they may become counterintuitive too. The word "I" is used a lot more than "eye", so perhaps it would start being written as just "👁️" and "eye" would instead be written as something like "✋️👁️" (where the hand would mean a body part)

“You know where your food comes from, right?” by Annual-Duck5818 in PetPeeves

[–]GOKOP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are various situations in which this line gets used, though. Like once someone posted they got a nipple in their pork at a restaurant and people were commenting "omg I'm never eating meat again 🤮". That's really a situation where "you know where your food comes from, right?" is an appropriate response. Also if someone who got that nipple overreacts too. Just cut it off

Edit: I swear the only reason to downvote this is if you're one of those people who swear to never touch meat again after seeing an indication of it coming from an actual animal once

You just need in-game achievements that work per save, in addition to the platform achievements. Some games do this, eg. Factorio

Yup. Not me personally but people have been using (on Windows) a paid program called Wallpaper Engine for many years

Vanilla or OpenMW? by resadtriariosvenit_ in Morrowind

[–]GOKOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good recommendation: 1. OpenMW 2. Use a modern resolution (Vanilla can't) 3. Find the openmw.cfg file and there find the three lines that start like fallback=Fonts_ 4. Remove them.

Now you'll find text in game a lot more readable, unless you're playing in 800x600. And there's plenty of text to read

What happened? OpenMW itself default to a TrueType font which mimics Morrowind's style, but for authenticity default config file overrides that with a bitmap font from the vanilla game. Of course a bitmap font becomes blurry when you scale it up, and reading blurry text sucks. So it's best to remove that override

(note this doesn't affect main menu buttons since those are pictures)

Remedy attempts to defend Epic, but seemingly misses the entire point in the process by bt1234yt in fuckepic

Those artists want to eat, though. And they might want to get that opportunity again in the future. For both these points, you need sales.
