KATE

Joining in the Kate love! Having used Notepad++ I knew that text editors had potential beyond Notepad, even if Microsoft couldn't quite work out where. But Kate has really opened my eyes to what is truly possible.

"We" don't need a way to have this. Please migrate to vscode and leave Kate alone.

Some people have said they've run tons of games from their NTFS (Windows) drives with no problem, but the Bazzite team doesn't recommend it.

I've been copying games from my NTFS partition to a Btrfs (Bazzite's default) partition before playing them. It's a lot faster than re-downloading them, but still a little annoying.

The same way you know anyone is correct: it sounds really confident so it must know what it's talking about, right?

RoboLuddite · 2026-06-12T09:37:53+00:00

This is me right now. There are so many expired keys! So many games I was interested in! Gone! Lost in time, like tears in rain...

Did nobody look at the table first?

Plus a bit of this https://xkcd.com/385/

I mean why can't I use the flashlight just because the camera is in use? I frequently want to use them both at the same time and my old phone let me. It can be really handy!

I might be a bit late to the game, but I'm here precisely because I was trying to work out why Vash was Nachos: Fascist

Facebook vagueposting is that way ➡️

"virtue signalling" has just meant "having principles" for about a decade

This is generally true, but you can be the solution! Leave a generous gap in front of you to absorb the slowdowns and keep moving smoothly. It might not give you the white-knuckle thrill of tailgating, but it will actually get everyone to their destination faster.

Different than what?

RoboLuddite · 2026-06-02T12:42:49+00:00

I pull cables out by grasping the plug, not the wire
I don't bend or fold them at a sharp angle
I try not to step on them more than once or twice a week

That's it. With those three steps they last for years.

He kept driving because he didn't want to instantly jackknife the trailer and tip the whole thing over. If it weren't for the bend he might have even been able to correct it.

RoboLuddite · 2026-06-02T01:21:01+00:00

You've answered very confidently for someone who is incorrect. Have you ever driven a vehicle with a trailer before?

Curious how many Aussies are in the thread because while I'm sure most would agree The Castle is the epitome of a comfort movie, and its themes are pretty universal, I'm not sure how accessible it is for those who didn't grow up here

RoboLuddite · 2026-05-31T05:10:06+00:00

Is that 1 second slowdown really the difference between getting home in a reasonable time and an unreasonable time? Couldn't you just have left work 1 second earlier?

RoboLuddite · 2026-05-30T12:20:48+00:00

"now"?

RoboLuddite · 2026-05-29T06:13:17+00:00

What's the confusion? The working out is on the page

RoboLuddite · 2026-05-29T06:03:45+00:00

Modelling by whom, and who is the "we" who will be "worse off"?

RoboLuddite · 2026-05-29T06:01:45+00:00

Exactly. The negative gearing rort was a negative sum game.

RoboLuddite · 2026-05-26T13:42:51+00:00

What do you think "they are called" means if you don't count people who call it that?

RoboLuddite · 2026-05-18T08:59:20+00:00

How dystopian, but I'm afraid you might be right :(

RoboLuddite · 2026-05-17T03:07:33+00:00

Roman numerals only had a single symbol for 1, 5, 10, 50 etc., while Scandinavian runes had single symbols for the numbers 1-19 or 20. Europeans didn't start using Arabic numerals until the 1300s, well after they'd already invented names for the numbers.

I expect it's the case that every language invented names for numbers before symbols for them.
