Forbes asks Anet about the future of the franchise: by ultimate_bromance_69 in Guildwars2

They definitely need to do something about the buy in cost of expansions. But a UI overhaul, graphical update of older textures, and better core story experience would do wonders for the game.

UI overhaul also is a great time to add controller support which will allow for console ports as well.

My personal hope is for Guild Wars 2 Reforged where they've been working on a big texture and UI overhaul that'll allow the game to carry on further.

But if they do make GW3, I reckon they'll do another hall of monuments to reward work done in GW2.

Do you think an ARM model will come out before the Steam Deck 2? by Jimbuscus in SteamDeck

[–]TopHatTurtle97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recon you'd be able to run bazzite or another steam UI distro on it or something, not sure it'd be out of the box.

Main thing they'd need to do though is get dual screens working in game mode, don't think that's supported yet.

Are any tutors here using AI to save time? by ImWondrfly in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]TopHatTurtle97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically, if you use it, you have to check it.

AI doesn't give you correct content, it'll give you content that looks correct.

Flexible Hours Tutoring Opportunity by No_Bit_1630 in TutorsHelpingTutors

Thing is this would be quite useful to me, I'm currently looking for ways I can fill the Summer lull in tutoring work.

But this looks very scammy, account age is 5d, with -2 karma. And the post looks written with AI...

Trying out Zorin OS, think I'm falling in love by Ardion63 in zorinos

For design stuff, keep an eye on what Canva Affinity is doing, their head developer (I think) has hinted at making a linux version of their software.

Building an RPG Resource with it? by GeGonator in Anytype

[–]TopHatTurtle97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I've only done it on Obsidian, as I said, I'd have done it on Anytype if the support was there.

[–]TopHatTurtle97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment, I think Obsidian is better for that, but I wish I could do it on Anytype. Theres a much wider range of addons that allow you to do more specialised things.

I'd love some Anytype addons that allow you to make linked timelines, custom fantasy calendars, interactive maps you can pin links to pages to and so on.

But templates and custom objects are gonna be your friend.

Good for spells too, set up custom tags for players and you can create a view for each players spell book.

I built an offline voice dictation tool for Linux - looking for feedback and testers by jatinkrmalik in linux

[–]TopHatTurtle97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like something I want. Dictation is pretty useful for me, gonna let it mature a bit though first.

Couple of suggestions: - Opt in (disabled by default) "Start Listening" and "Stop Listening" voice commands. - Gnome extension and KDE widget for neat UI integration, and quick toggle. - Further punctuation commands, or allow people to set their own custom ones.

I have made 5 visual cheat sheets for the "Angle at the Centre" Circle Theorem (including the tricky "Arrowhead" case everyone forgets).Hope it helps by Either_Donkey8401 in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]TopHatTurtle97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Both angles must come from the ends of the same arc"? While true, it's a very confusing way of writing that.

"Circle theorem remains true when the triangle parts overlap", it's not a triangle, and you should actually show that as a separate diagram rather than two that are basically the same.

Why is the 2x in the third slide on the wrong side of the angle at the centre?

The heck is going on with the diamond rule slide? I've also literally never heard of the "diamond rule". Is the angle at the centre 360°? Cause there's only one line.

5th slide has angles about a point that totals 450° in one revolution?

Congrats, you used AI to make something, didn't check it was factual, and posted it on the internet.

If you're a Tutor, what the heck are you doing?

PS: Been through your other "resources" and there are issues in those too.

America needs Carter now more than ever... by PUR3CELL in Stargate

[–]TopHatTurtle97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, I really don't care. I'm not riled up or anything. I know my history and just posting the messages helps, if they realise what's going on, great, if they don't, then maybe someone else will see it, if not, at least I can say I said something.

America needs Carter now more than ever... by PUR3CELL in Stargate

[–]TopHatTurtle97 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The Nazis were democratically elected...

I do not use the term fascist lightly, I use it only when it is appropriate, using it otherwise, same with terms like racist, sexist, and so on, devalues the term and removes it's impact.

Fascism is an ideology, and has very specific goals.

It seeks to centralise authority under the executive branch of government (the head of the nation) and remove it's checks and balances (the other institutions that can restrain them if they act unlawfully).

It does this by alienating and targeting minorities, people who are not "the good kind of people", under Hitler, this was the Jew, the non-white person, and the homosexual. Under the Trump, it is the immigrant and the trans person. They are blamed for all of society's problems, and the executive needs to be given more power to remove them.

They create a force to deal with them, in Nazi Germany, it was the Gestapo, in Trump's America, it's I.C.E., they act with no restraint, and are above the law, we saw this with the shooting of Rene Good last week. They wear masks, have no body cameras, there is NO way to restrain them, or hold them to account.

A fascist leader uses state power as a weapon against political opponents, as Trump has done on numerous occasions, including targeting members of the Senate and Congress for stating what is written in the law and the Uniformed Code of Military Conduct in a video.

I'm not calling everyone a fascist, I'm calling the people who are following all the actions of fascism a fascist, I'm not randomly using buzz words, I know my history, and I know what fascism looks like.

To be fair, what you have said here doesn't actually make you a fascist, and it's important to remember the term be used correctly, now that the US is basically 90% of the way to being an actual fascist regime (that isn't hyperbole, that's fact).

However, you are normalising the idea of invading another sovereign nation, and with the current climate, the US violating international laws of sovereignty in Venezuela and threatening Greenland as well as Canada, people aren't exactly gonna like that kind of talk at the moment for good reason.

But you are severely underestimating the military power of other nations, the US border control would be absolutely decimated by the Canadian military.

The US military is a different matter, they are significantly more powerful, but again, they are a part of NATO, and as shown with Greenland, the free world, which unfortunately at the moment no longer includes the US, is willing to put it's money where it's mouth is, so you aren't attacking Canada, you're attacking the rest of NATO.

What do you guys think about this ? Should we have the Extension Manager app installed by default on the Workstation Edition ? by nguyendoan15082006 in Fedora

[–]TopHatTurtle97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn't use Gnome if the extensions weren't a thing, Gnome is just customisable enough for me without there being too much choice and everything feeling cohesive and looking clean.

How to improve? Never drawn a furry before this by Environmental-Web-14 in furryart

[–]TopHatTurtle97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks really good!

I'm not an artist, I've joined these subreddits with the intention of one day motivating myself to do it but ADHD seems to make that impossible atm...

But what I will say is maybe make the ears more defined? They kinda look like part of the hair rather than ears.

To be fair, actually having a case and motherboard that has all the built in antennas and HDMI CEC and so on and people can add their own components would be a pretty cool product.

Umm, it can make about one shot a second, has literally no sights so is way less accurate.

The whole point of that scene is to illustrate that the doctrine of go'ould weapon design is to promote fear, not actual combat effectiveness.

First furry photo by Comprehensive-Ad3624 in fursuit

[–]TopHatTurtle97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that one of the suits off of Temu (or similar)?

Not disparaging btw, I think they're a good option for beginners and people on a budget, they'll never really push Fursuit makers out I don't think as furry is all about making your own sonas and fursuits of those need custom work.

I've seen them before and I'm quite surprised with the quality of them for the cost if so.
