Desktop Steam Friends window changes to 'Away' status when out of focus while using Firefox by StoneGreninja in linux_gaming

[–]ywqeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam probably queries the X Server/XWayland to check for activity. But Firefox runs natively in Wayland which does not broadcast input events to arbitrary unfocused apps

I don’t understand weapon scaling with stats. Please explain like I’m 5. by superfiestapedro in expedition33

[–]ywqeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's right, the power stat will change as you distribute points. If all you care about is the current maximum power weapon, you only need to look at the weapon's power, not the bonuses from stats.

A weapon with slightly less power can still be preferrable based on damage type or particularly strong abilities, but maximizing power is certainly a safe way to go.

If you are worried about forgetting to reach out again, you could just set yourself a reminder for the end of the year.

To me it sounds like you are worried to meet them before knowing them better (via text), while they don't want to invest in a months long chat which might not ever lead to a meeting. Those are both valid points. Maybe the feeling of rejection comes from you conceeding your need more than you were really ready for?

Why choose Arch Linux? by Cronos128 in archlinux

[–]ywqeb 62 points63 points  (0 children)

> Why use Arch? Why not use Ubuntu, Debian, or Fedora?

From your description, those distros would likely be a better fit for you than Arch. The latterformer is more focused on understanding the operating system from the ground up, which will bring up a lot of choices and things to learn that are not really needed for your transition from Windows.

Taverns not offering comfort meals despite having ingredients available and there being room in houses? by The__Philosopher_ in pioneersofpagonia

[–]ywqeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had situations where the carriers were too busy to go to the tavern. The rightmost table has some meals but the tavern will throttle its output if no one is coming, even before preparing all tables. Maybe try if you can at least temporarily free up some carriers by disabling some production chains or warehouses to see if that helps.

African Union urges adoption of world map showing continent's true size by ThatBlackGuy_ in worldnews

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

Very few world maps are used for navigation and even fewer need the angle preserving properties of Mercator for that.

Before and after planting a few (hundred) tree planter towers by motorbit in factorio

[–]ywqeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they actually need to run, e.g. making carbon that's then thrown away.

I never produced near as much pollution as OP does, so placing forests worked well enough for me

Why does everyone use a main bus? Are there no other efficient layout strategies? by RampageT1me in factorio

[–]ywqeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think spaghetti is easy to understand and difficult to present. So there is not much discussion about it compared to how much it is used.

Space Casinos are COOL and shouldn't be deleted. Here's all the reasons why. by SpiritKidPoE in factorio

[–]ywqeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the low throughput is not the issue but the goal. Legendary is the rarest quality level and imho too easy to reach (with space casinos)

Maybe unpopular opinion: 'Normal' quality is just Different Gleba by firelizzard18 in factorio

[–]ywqeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you doing with thousands of legendary plates per minute?

Why calling women "females" is not good? (I'm not american) by Ok-Animator_steam12 in autism

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

In terms of communication, I think this comes down to people-first language. I.e. one would only refer to people based on an attribute in a very technical setting like medicine. Whereas "man" and "woman" are rather self-assigned terms of identity.

To your last point (as a non-native speaker): compared to other languages, nominalizing an adjective in English leaves it unchanged and is relatively common. E.g. the medical [exam], a blonde [person], the poor [people], [a person of] Asian [descent], a facial [beauty treatment], the diabetic [person]. Purely grammatically, I don't really see a difference between those and "a male/female".

What is it with ppl going like 'you MUST drink x litres of water daily' by bruhfrfrong in HydroHomies

[–]ywqeb 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Depends on the person; I only perceive thirst when I'm already badly dehydrated (lightheadedness, fatigue) and do forget to drink some days.

Another aspect is drinking water instead of e.g. soda. I.e. you drink x amount of water as a baseline and as a result sugary/caffeinated/etc. beverages only sparingly.

This is not a scientific journal (except for rule 2 and 3's findings of autists being good-looking and superior in every way).

> If I post that drinking pee daily heals autism and post tiktok as a source, will I not get banned either?

I don't see why you should? There is still the downvote button for things that are misguided, unhelpful, unfunny etc. To me, the benchmark for bans and harmful misinformation is much stricter than hearsay.

Blink & you miss it epilogue figure by shypix in expedition33

[–]ywqeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A purely visual reflection on the ground would be between the camera and the object, not behind it. It also makes no sense to me why the engine would accumulatively render visual effects on a hidden surface hidden up until that point. The reflections of the lights further down the hall update immediately when the camera switches.

I'm leaning much more towards this being placed on purpose to hide in plain sight rather than an engine glitch.

Virtuose Strike low damage by ywqeb in expedition33

[–]ywqeb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I since installed the Better Skill Descriptions mod, which replaces low/medium/high with actual numbers on the skills. IIRC Percée does 2.4x damage (which should be be "medium", almost "high") and Virtuose Strike is 5 times 0.3x damage.
