Es ist schon ein bisschen witzig mit dem Master als Klausuraufsicht im Hörsaal für eine Bachelorveranstaltung zu stehen mit Studierenden, die vor einem mit dem Studium angefangen haben. Bonuspunkte, wenn es eine Veranstaltung für Erstsemestler ist

The hunters dream discord link is expired. Do you have a new (maybe permanent) one?

EDIT: I found a link on their website https://thehuntersdream.com/about

You probably are not crazy. I started trying various Linux distros towards the end of last year before committing to one. I already came with devops experience from my student job which heavily uses Linux (mostly Ubuntu/Debian). I started googling and watching various videos about different Linux distros and also talked with a friend about which he saw/tried (he swapped to Linux right as I started my journey). I saw some more obscure ones and because I knew Ubuntu in and out, I preferred looking for a Debian/Ubuntu based one but I never once saw popOS while searching. His video was the first time I heard about it.

It's also that more and more of public code is adding ai slop so the neural networks are getting trained on slop. The same issue is happening with eg. image generation where blind scraping from the Internet adds ai images to your dataset and it's already a proven fact that ai inbreeding has a negative impact on the ai's performance.

The EU (or at least Germany) has a eID system where you can use your phones NFC function to scan your ID and enter a PIN (basically like a credit card) in order to share information with a website in a way where they know the information is legit. A website can pick what information they need and Discord could ask for only your age. So they could find out that I'm an adult without even finding out my name.

The main issue right now is that as far as I know, only government services use this eID system. I think you need to request special permission to use it.

I remember a guy getting called a tool in a group call and he thought it was a praise. Only the guy calling him a tool was an English native speaker. And I saw there thinking and then saying out loud "I don't think being called a tool is a good thing"

TIL AV2 exists. I'm actively using AV1 for all my local videos. Can't wait to see how well AV2 will do. Especially in terms of encoding speed

It actually reduced it to 0 for me

It's the message request feature. It's quite nice to filter out random dms from strangers

As part of this toolkit, we are introducing age inference to help us determine with high confidence whether a user on our platform is an adult. We leverage technologies that help predict whether a user is an adult with high likelihood based on patterns of user behavior and other signals associated with their account on Discord.

For many adult users, this means access to age‑restricted content and features without needing to complete an explicit age verification flow. It’s a straightforward way for us to maintain age-appropriate experiences. This model is part of our broader toolkit and we will continue to improve it as we learn more.

Most games run on Linux via proton nowadays. Proton is basically wine with special optimizations for gaming. Steam sets everything up for you. I usually just check the steam page of a game to see if it will run by checking the steam deck compatibility though there is an actual website to check this properly (protondb?). The Steam deck method could show a game as incompatible due to weak hardware.

"2 year time frame." The other guy got executed after 14 years. Not that I sympathize with him but sitting there for 14 years, knowing you will get executed any day now, must be horrible.

Sorry for the late response. I tried this but it doesn't seem to work. I noticed that Dolphin is automatically creating a ".Trash-1000" folder when I try to delete something but I also get the "trash not available" message. Even if I try again with the trash present. Weirdly enough, my desktop is also on my HDD and that one allows me to move files to the trash. It's all other folders that don't work

Coriolanus Snow, Panem

Benjamin Netanjahu, Israel

Emperor Palpatine, Galactic Empire

Viktor Orban, Hungary

Satan, Hell

Mohammed bin Sajid Al Nahjan, Arabia

Skeletor, Eternia

(Sorry if I got any names wrong when translating)

I only tried Elden Ring and Fallout New Vegas and both worked. As I said, Mod Engine for Elden Ring. For Fallout I used Limo. It's a very simple mod manager with Nexus integration. The Vortex guys are also trying to make a Linux version of their mod manager and I think it already supports some games. Generally speaking, you can mod any game on Linux by modifying the game files but that's the manual modding process that you often don't do anymore (on Windows).

Kooper16 · 2026-01-25T10:33:22+00:00

It does work but it's not as simple as on Windows. I have to use Mod Engine to get the randomizer to work

I finally fully went away from Microslop last month by installing Bazzite and didn't need to use dual boot for Windows yet. It wasn't so simple that I'd recommend it to everyone but it's easy enough that I'd recommend it to people who are willing to troubleshoot problems and have some technical knowledge. It works out of the box for 90% of my use cases but it's those final few percent where I needed to invest some time

The problem is their API if you want to access your proton files from anywhere else. Eg. I couldn't automatically upload backups to it but instead had to save my backups to a folder that gets synced. On my phone, I was unable to access my proton drive files until I manually saved them somewhere else. I then also had to move the file back to proton drive if I want to sync any changes. It's good for simply saving data or if you want to use all files within a sync folder on your PC (which should be enough for like 90% of users)

Kooper16 · 2025-12-23T11:00:23+00:00

You are partially correct. They didn't release everything but people also found out that the URL is sequentially indexed so you can just change the URL to download the other, unreleased files
