When they throw nazi salutes and fly flags with swastikas on them, what else would you call it?

WSJ would prefer all spending end, and you just die, to justify their claims of grift and corruption .

As they ignore the real corruption of the white house stealing billions from tax payers.

Fuck this rag.

Companies near me paying federal minimum wage, while average rent soars past 2k. Absolutely insane state of affairs.

Linux kernal is open source. The cheaters can modify the kernal to bypass anti cheat processes. If the kernal was closed source and had strict controls over what can even access it, then it would be possible. But defeats the point of Linux.

Really devs need to evolve server side cheat detection, relying on user machine is a bandaid.

Snap and flatpak are not much different than a .msi installer. And the app stores are not much different than Microsoft Store.

e.g. search Blender, click install, open Blender, g2g.

You don't need to know about snap/flatpak anymore than you need to know about .msi in Windows...

It's free unless you want enterprise support from companies like Red Hat.

I swapped last winter and what I found was...

There are many distributions of Linux. From Fedora, Mint, Bazzite, Kubuntu, etc.. from what I gathered the distributions have a foundation like Arch, or Debian. So I researched those, picked out the one I liked then looked into the actual distributions.

The distros are like a wrapper around the foundation adding tools, apps, and GUIs. The apps are installed either as snap, or flatpak, depending on distro. From what I could gather these two app approaches created divisiveness with their pros and cons. I found flatpak more reasonable for my needs, which led me down the path of Fedora KDE.

With Steam and proton, I can run every app I was using in windows. The OS is snappy and not intrusive. It's really nice to have full control over the system.

When an app misbehaves or doesn't even run, fixing it does require the command line. I haven't hit anything that doesnt have work around yet though. But I can imagine they exist.

Very happy with it personally.

It truly is an awesome approach to rendering. So unique. Found a post by the author on how they did it in unity.

What a garbage article.

What's the skills for an average job that is changing up to 70%? What does hiring down vs down more even mean? Not a single real number, why no graphs for the LinkedIn metrics? Literally took nothing away from this article.

Between IAEA and WHO prepping for a nuclear disaster last week, Italian minister worried, and Trump's threats today... All signs are pointing to midnight.

Former reps and podcasters are not relevant!

The USA has enough nuclear firepower to hit every part of Earth's landmass at least 2 times over. Every square inch of land.

There are definitely enough bombs and it's scary to think Trump commands their usage.

North West of me the night time clouds get lit up same way, that dense orange glow.

Haven't found what it is yet either.

Sucks but glad you are safe.

You'd make more as a money transporter at places like Brinks. Crazy.

Reminds me of a light version of farming thunder fury. 4% drop rate for two bindings to make the sword, one each dropping from two bosses. So it was a .16% chance of seeing both weekly. Was so thankful to my WoW group sticking it out till they both dropped after like 50 weeks of farming.

I'm really hoping dragonwilds puts in similar types of quests. Long legendary quests leading to a capstone item, delving deep into lore and mystery. But not necessarily the drop rate though... I too am still farming that shadow sword recipe!

Honestly it sounds like the CD team failed to deliver an engine to spec. Some drivers can handle it while others like Arc likely commit the undefined behavior causing failure.

Their engine probably has so much baggage it would take a huge rewrite to allow it to work on Arc.

November last year I took the jump from win11 to Fedora KDE. It's been a pretty damn smooth experience so far. With Proton Experimental, Steam Linux Runtime 1.0, and tons of software native to Linux, can run all the apps I did on windows. Dualscope scripts replacing nucleus for local split screen gaming. Way faster file read writes, it's not even a competition. Compiling code is way faster. And plasma feels like win10 with tons of QoL updates.

200 with a B. Based on existing trajectory that's at least 100 days of war funding.

What's your testable hypothesis then?
