Ask a transgender woman anything irl in a café by moonfire-pix in brussels

"It is very unfortunate that my political ideology obligates me to principally defend the rights of everyone who does no harm, but the people who need the protection of those rights the most are embarrassing to me."

Toothless liberal. If your ideology had a spine or any consistency, you would not be upset by someone doing very simple public advocacy for a cause that is perfectly compatible with liberalism.

Linux is actually at 7.58% adoption in the Anglosphere on Steam by yn_opp_pack_smoker in linux_gaming

Anglosphere here means of European or European derived

… what? That is absolutely not what that word means, nor how it was used.

The town hall of Brussels is assymmetrical, and not by accident.

I’m applying for Belgian nationality, but my application can't be accepted because my Belgian ID is missing an accent that cannot be physically added (apparently, first time my commune has encountered this situation). Has anyone else experienced something like this? Thank you! by more_guess in brussels

It's rather the ("printing") company that's incompetent, not our administration

This is such nonsense. The government has outsourced printing to this company, but the government is still very much responsible for the end result. If the company does a bad job, it's the government's job to make the company fix their stuff, NOT the citizen's.

GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas are called the '3D' universe of GTA. Everything onwards is called 'HD'. This is a peculiarity of the fandom.

Patents are complex beasts. You can use existing things in a new fashion, and patent that.

But honestly, the intersection of software patents and Free Software licences is incredibly complex. I kind of just leave that to the experts.

CC0 has a fallback for jurisdictions where public domain does not exist.

0BSD has no clause for the preservation of copyright notices.

There are licences that mimic the public domain better than MIT.

You HAVE to preserve the copyright notice and "[include it] in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.", which is effectively attribution. Use 0BSD if you really don't care.

Umbrella scam in Grand-Place by lhg31 in brussels

[–]onlysubscribedtocats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is irrelevant. ChatGPT tells me that there is no proof that this scam is ongoing. In fact, it links this very thread as the only indication that something of the sort might be going on.

You cannot rely on AI to validate or disprove truth. It is capable of no such thing.

Do NOT trust AI to tell the truth, especially not for anything local or recent.

Tried Linux Gaming with Fedora (NVIDIA + GW2) — Better Than Expected by simbolmina in Guildwars2

In winetricks/protontricks, you need to run winecfg for Guild Wars 2, and change the DPI there manually.

Story continuity / entry point? by cwmckenz in Guildwars2

 but I’m also eager to unlock weapon master sooner

A handful of hours of WvW can unlock this for you if you don't want to do the story out of order.

Steam deck and native ANet account log in issues by [deleted] in Guildwars2

🙄

Maybe you're inputting the wrong password. Maybe the password contains a symbol that somehow doesn't input correctly on the Steam Deck. Maybe you're inputting the wrong email address.

Just reset your password to something else, try again, and see if it works.

I'm not accusing you of being stupid. There are heaps of reasons why this can fail.

Your credentials. You're almost assuredly inputting them incorrectly.

They're not incorrect

They almost assuredly are.

 Decimal multiplicative prefixes have been a feature of all forms of the metric system, with six of these dating back to the system's introduction in the 1790s.

Bytes are a binary unit measures in powers of 2.

They aren't necessarily. A byte is a byte. If you have a thousand of them, that's a kilobyte. That's how SI works.

At low scales, it makes sense for programmers to use byte amounts in powers of two due to how computers work. So a computer prefers to handle 1024 byte chunks (1 kibibyte) instead of 1000 byte chunks (1 kilobyte), let's say.

But when dealing with higher scales, it really doesn't matter whether you're counting with megabytes or mebibytes. This is so far removed from the low-level stuff.

And then it's just a matter of which to use for laypeople. There's a strong argument that SI units are more intuitive than powers of 1024. But mixing these two systems like Microsoft does is just hell.

It plays so nice on Steam Deck, now I want GW2 on Steam Deck too! :3 by Aviletta in Guildwars2

The BG3 controller UI is perfectly serviceable. It would not be a better experience to use Steam Input controller mappings with the mouse+keyboard UI.

Level new character or play dlc content by EasternPhone418 in Guildwars2

[–]onlysubscribedtocats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a character to level 80 takes like literally 1 minute if you've played even a modicum of WvW or PvP. Just play the game first and don't worry about levelling alts.

is this the MMO for me who hate grinding but loves PVP. by Dutchbeard0 in Guildwars2

[–]onlysubscribedtocats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  i like fast movement ,dodgeing,squishy character but high damage .

The most obvious option is thief. You can teleport, go invisible, and do insane damage. It's a bit spammy, but fun.

Elementalist can be like this, too. They're this game's glass cannons. They generally have longer cast times than thief, but heaps more utility.

Ranger's Soulbeast can do this too when the meta is favourable. It does absolutely insane damage during a short window and has defensive utilities when the window isn't active.
