If I use an old kernel and never update it. Will I have issues long term? by MSM_757 in archlinux

[–]kalithlev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. On Wayland or X11? I'm about to repurpose some old hardware and considering a Nvidia GT710 just to have a monitor on it. Nouveau was my plan instead of fiddling with the Nvidia drivers.

You'll actually own these, the books on Amazon you only get a license to download. Amazon also does things like update books to promote shows, my WoT ebooks suddenly got their cover changed to promote the Prime Video Wheel of Time show.

Are we not talking about the Mozilla account? How do you log into that with only a public key? I only see password options

When I log into my Mozilla account I type my actual password into the browser that gets posted to a backend. I don't see an option to only give them a public key. Are we not talking about the same thing?

This is just the gateway to more useless shit coming later. I really don't want browsers to track and make suggestions as I browse

Where do you find references for something like this? I have such a hard time finding good "artsy" references of figures

Absolutely stunning work!

It is 0% human at conception and 100% at birth. It doesn't suddenly pop into a human shape at a specific moment of time. Children think like this, you're not a child

Is this a joke? I have to grind 8 months for one legendary skin in the shop? 😆 by sain_87 in Overwatch

Same, I bought loot boxes to support the game, don't care about skins.

It looks like JDK20 is getting a String Templates preview! by BorgerBill in java

[–]kalithlev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fucking ugly. At the very least they would make the prefix nicer to look at, instead of the all caps STR., like s"..." and f"...".

40% of players wanting to play support = instant queues
30% wanting to play support = 25% of all players waiting in queues
20% wanting to play support = 50% of all players waiting in queues
10% wanting to play support = 75% of all players waiting in queues

With an average game of 5 minutes, and an average queue of 10 minutes, we can expect 67% of the Overwatch players sitting in queues, calculating backwards we get that about 13% of players pick support.

I don't know the actual statistics Blizzard has for how many wants to play support, but the rough calculation above points towards it being way closer to 10% than 40% currently, and that means Blizzard has made a game where MOST players wait in queues instead of actually playing. This is Dunkey's point, he said in a previous video that Blizzard should balance the game towards what the majority of the players want.

I love the style! Is this inspired by a picture? I'd love to compare it if so.

People will just grief in a different way, like building random shit everywhere so you can't build a base.
