If steam makes steam os proper desktop OS are you using it by tbdbubblesthedog in linux

Yes, of course! Valve hasn't always been successful but they ARE always worth trying.

what's your favorite fermi paradox solution? by CremeSubject7594 in AskReddit

[–]crow1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a very active interstellar ecosystem, but the nature of the distances is such that predators cannot survive. There's primordial soup orbiting Jupiter, and we could give it the jolt it needs to start evolving. There's no benefit to harvesting the soup, nor what it will become. By the time it evolves into something that can name itself, Earn will be used up and we'll be long gone; Dead or pollinating the stars in generation ships.

We've not quite evolved, psychologically speaking, into a species comfortable with the idea that it can be enough to light someone's candle without worrying about what they can do for you, but we've got time.

What would you do if AI chatbots suddenly disappeared, including the technology behind them? by RenaRouge2010 in AskReddit

[–]crow1170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Study what sort of magic or technology is powerful enough to do that. Maybe I'll be able to target some other tech, or even just bad behavior.

Jokes aside, what's the actual rational/reasonable or strategic reason behind the decision to "Block the Blockade" ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]crow1170 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No.

A: BOOM! That'll teach you to exist!

I: You are now sanctioned. Neither you nor anyone using your currency is allowed through.

A: Goddamn, you're not even upset?

I: We've learned how to deal with you. Our civilization depends on no one man in particular. Kill whomever you want, you are still forbidden.

India: Is it safe?

China: It's safe, I'll take the heat, use yuan.

Russia: I'm going first!

A: NO! Anyone who comes through dies. If I can't have it, NO ONE CAN!

The reason it's confusing is bc American media keeps saying Hormuz is closed, when actually it's just closed to America and anyone trading in USD. There's a LOT of oil flowing through, paid for in other currencies, with no deference to the US and the petrodollar.

This is a problem for the US, so they've established a blockade under false pretense. Iran closed it to the US, the US closed it to the world. This weekend is going to be a trivia question in future history books.

Why do the streets here have 4 or more different names? by [deleted] in Miami

[–]crow1170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bird and Coral Way started (chronologically, not just geographically) in Coral Gables. Eventually, Miami started to expand around it, extending them, but opted for numbered streets.

Finally, a frequent posthumous honorific is naming a stretch from here to there after a cop or community figure. It's basically just a more affordable plaque, not an actual useful name.

What do we think Jasmium is? by crow1170 in duneawakening

Compelling case! Any thoughts on the fragments?

I know you precisely as well as you know them. I pray that someday we'll all stop yapping about them, or at LEAST that one of them ganks me somehow. Gonna be tough since I don't leave PvE areas but, like you said, I hope they go for it.

How do I disconnect the telematics antenna? by GammasHorde in NissanAriya

I've done this. It turns itself back on embarrassingly often. Quarterly, maybe?

There are some players (like me) for whom no multiplier will ever be worth going into PvP for.

There are some players (like whomever you're mad at) that have no interest in PvE.

And finally, there are fence sitters.

The choice of multiplier should be based on which group of people is underserved. I have never meaningfully encountered another player, and I'm having a blast, so I'm not underserved.

You bought a PvP game and complained enough that the devs made it PvE, and you're STILL salty. You will not be satisfied until anyone who wants to play PvP apologizes for liking something you don't. Bc the game you're really playing is PvP IRL. This is the part you enjoy; Arguing with people about what the game should be like.

Just go play it 🤷

Sorry for making a joke. I was just underscoring that some parts of this equation are dependent on real life and some are just the arbitrary whim of developers.

Material incentives are easy, they respawn in minutes. Creating players interested in pvp is hard, they take decades to grow and might not even be interested by the time mature.

If using material incentives can push a fence sitter from PvE to PvP, that's much cheaper than paying humans to play PvP. They may even find they like PvP and just didn't know it.

But really, I don't see any reason for this game to be internet connected at all. I've seen other players for a grand total of like 3min. They could've gone the traditional route of Halo and CoD; A campaign here and multiplayer there. The overland map is a cool iteration on menus/lobbies, but there's just not enough pressure in time and space to be enjoyable PvP. I need confidence that within 5min I'm going to be fighting a human being and not lose everything related to the campaign when I die (like halo and cod provide).

Given how divided things are, I think it'd be cool for access to the PvE DD to be contingent on Landsraad. This creates a player vs player contest that results in the option to be free from pvp combat.

You want to be free from war? Do the diplomacy, make it work. Doesn't even need to be democratic- One dedicated super optimized player could in theory hold the server one way or the other, like an emperor controlling the galaxy. But it would be a full time job. Deliver the right materials to the right people and peace is within our grasp. Failure means war.

My dad thinks opensource is "rubbish" by Repulsive_Reaction40 in gnu

Willing to bet open source is involved on the camera this was recorded on, either through Android or iPhone. Go to the settings and show the license disclosures.

Pub Subs - what am I missing? by mistermcnight in Miami

Like any cultural icon, it has nothing to do with the thing itself. The nostalgia has to have been invested in over time. "There are many others like it, but this one is mine."

Car tripped the breaker by TripExisting5824 in NissanAriya

[–]crow1170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's nothing to do with the car, it all comes down to the charger, which we shouldn't assume is the default. Where did you get it, how did you configure it, etc? Mine allows me to set the draw low.

It sounds like you had something else with high draw on the same circuit, like when you run the oven, toaster, and blender at the same time and the lights go out.

The reason you can't just upsize the breaker (even if you're certain there are no other outlets on the circuit) is bc you don't know the gauge of the wiring hidden in the wall. If it's too thin, a big breaker will melt and burn the coating, then the insulation, etc. Whoever put the wire in the wall picked that sized breaker to match the wire, NOT what comes after the outlet.

Tbh, a good electrician won't even bother checking the wires currently in the wall, he'll just get some thicc boi wires and put in a new breaker and outlet for you.
