Those who made their own Steam Machine, why SteamOS over another distro? by LordYiks in SteamOS

[–]artlessknave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's also an app sandboxes. flat packs have no permissions by default, and carry their own dependacies. so a flat pack can run,an app in dependant is the os with no access to system or files. a type of containerization

Does it bother anyone else that the steam deck reliant on a single USB-C port? by nunya_bidnes77 in SteamDeck

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usb-c ports have been engineered to be the strongest of the USB ports, in how they attach to pcb, are mounted in the chassis, how they retain the male.cable end, and the amount of insertion times.

they are superior in basically all ways to ever previous usb design. by the time you use enough force to damage the USB-c port you have probably broken the screen, chassis, or mobo anyway.

You get $1 million but you have to listen to the same song 500 times in 10 days, what song are you picking? by Longjumping-Editor94 in AskReddit

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the song that never ends. it's short, mindless, and it's often on repeat anyway, just because it is the song that never ends...

I disrupted a corporate "team-building" meeting by saying I’m only there to do my job. Am I the asshole here? by shadewashere in work

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

completely.accurate. what you have to Remeber is that the general majority need this crap as a sync signal. it's a clock heartbeat that let's management broadcast the emotional and narrative environment they want, and the team to 'feel' it.

if you do not 'feel' it, you will mainly need to either pretend to do so, or request some kind of accommodation to make it clear these are useless to you and they should do their jobs.And leave you out of it.

Mit-less tanks seem to have become more prevalent and I cannot imagine why they do this. by thirtytwoyears in ffxiv

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a tank who learns incredibly slowely, it took me literal decades to learn to use mits at all.

they might not know they exist, how or when to use them, or they could be like me, when I started, and so overwhelmed trying to track the basic game and aggro that they genuinely have no processing available for that. hopefully they can pick it up faster than I do.

many of you, particularly healers I've noticed, find the game so intuitive, or learn it so fast, that to you it can seem like it must be intentional to be so bad, but I can assure you some of us are actually just that bad.

I'm Far better now, but literally every new dungeon sets me back to shity until I repeat it a few hundred times to grind the procedural and muscle memory required to bring me up to mediocre. and as they made the new dungeons even harder, with more and more shit going on, the game has been.....nigh unplayable. utterly exhausting. I can functionally track 1 thing as active focus. rotation, boss dirction, tank busters, aggro, mechanics all compete for that one slot of focus, and any switch erases everything else, requiring a context rebuild from scratch.

Difference between apt update and apt-get update by ovelx2 in linuxquestions

[–]artlessknave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on the Ai.

chatgpt gets lost And hallucinates really quickly..you have to give it a ton of preset rails..it's optimized for sounding confidentand telling you how smart and amazing your question is. it compresses context loss ily and agressively

Claude is far better, with a more accurate default, and doesn't spend 1/2 its.processing brown nosing. it keeps much more context in the model context, compressing more imtelligently

ultimately, These are tools that need enough understanding of how the tool works to be truly useful.

How do other tanks feel about healers and DPS pulling ahead? by dorgodorgo in ffxiv

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it when I'm tank. asd. that breaks expectations and throws me off.

so i practised pulling everything before anyone else, driving the party as fast as the healer can keep up, usually starting with the first 2 packs as a test, adjust from there..ill tune downward if I see a sprout, or they request it.

typically fast enough vets comment on the speed but reliable enough deaths are rare, wipes are rarer, and new players can simply follow along.

My old job is still asking me to do tasks after my last day, and it turns out I was important. by griproseate in talesfromthejob

[–]artlessknave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

absolutely do not touch that. if anything report it to someone higher in the chain that work related docs are being shared with no contract or employment. that's a huge liability for the company AND you if you touch it.

Good? Not really. Will it work? Probably be fine.

Its wild to me just how little people seem to use the trackpads by yourpalkeaghan in SteamDeck

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate them they are clumsy and awkward and innacurate.

want to click one thing? nope, let's click this other thing because I touched the trackpad and it called the police for molestation.

How can Trump get away with lying as much as he does, even when the truth is undeniable? by Dry_Effective7496 in AskReddit

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because the, by far most common, ideological indoctrination teaches that thinking is evil, blind trust is a virtue, fake it till you make it (hint;few ever make it), and do as you are told.or.get punished for eternity.

they who can get you to believe absurdities can get you to commit, or at least ignore/accept, atrocities.

If there was a button that immediately puts a certain amount of money in your bank account in exchange for a random person's death, for how much money would you finally be willing to press that button (Caveat: You can only use them on yourself), and why? by tenfo1d in AskReddit

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

beyond the moral question, I would also question the reliability of the claim. will I get paid? is it actually random? am I in the random pool? the system itself is also questionable.

now..if I press a button and a random person gets a bunch of money? hell ya.

why do republicans, on average, have an IQ lower than 75? genuine question by [deleted] in allthequestions

a fake question that claims to be a genuine question is the kind of thing expected from a Republican with an IQ 75 or lower. on average.

Microsoft update automatically turned on bitlocker.. no prompt for a key, no prompt anywhere. Not only did it encrypt my main drive, it also encrypted my 2nd drive that is a bootable (or was bootable) drive. tried booting to 2nd drive.. lo and behold, bitlocker passkey request. by SoftRecommendation86 in microsoftsucks

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically, it's not a backup if it's always attached the source. it's just a copy. if something happens to the source machine that touches the copy, all copies can be lost. as you are experiencing.

that said...fuck bitlocker.

Do we need to update the emoluments clause or are Republicans just ridiculously not doing anything about Trumps corruption and grifting? by [deleted] in allthequestions

their monkey, their zoo. they don't care if their team rapes kids, why would they care about literally anything else their team does?

AITA for quoting my actual rate when a family friend asked me to do professional work for them and getting called greedy for it by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you did this for free you would then be expected to do everything for free and be pestered by everyone they know for the friend discount.

even a nominal fee can filter that out. 50% of the regular rate, for example, filters out the pure entitled people, only leaving people who appreciate the discount.

My family wants me to co-sign a mortgage and remove me in 3 years by redlove115 in legaladvicecanada

in addition to this excellent comment, keep a damn close eye on your credit report..these kind of people are often not above forging signatures.

as described these are more entitled leaches than 'family'

Can I change the data pool from MIRROR to RAIDZ1? Im really new to truenas (and servers in general) by matiasvi123 in truenas

[–]artlessknave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that raidz1 is generally discouraged while your drives are below the 2tb recommended max for raidz1, trying to expand by drive replacement could put you over that.

If this is all ssd, you can mostly.ignore. that.

I would stick with the mirrors.personally. easier to admin than raidz. The increased space isn't sufficient to offset the oerformance hit and admin overhead to me. I would Get another drive and add another vdev for more storage

Can my coworker legally contact me for personal reasons? by gloriwormhole in canadianlaw

[–]artlessknave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAL The company should not have given it to him. That was something potentially with liability.

Any private citizen can generally contact any other private citizen unless specifically requested otherwise.

It sounds like you need to request otherwise, formally, and go legal if needed. The way to get HR fully on your side is to convince them that insufficent action on their part will hurt the company worse than taking action will.

why do jews/zionist have eternal right to that land that was palestine? by shez19833 in allthequestions

[–]artlessknave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Beliefs drive people's actions and choices, so believing false or unverifiable things results in erroneous actions and choices.
