Do fact-check me on stuff
“I prefer a distribution which is supported by game publishers.” feels like it sets bad expectations considering it’s just “do you want a stable Debian/Ubuntu distro?” and ‘game publishers’ might be a little out of date with their wording/justification
We’re definitely nowhere near “fuck it” levels, as the article says, we sure can make things a lot more awful if we decide now that we can’t do anything about it anyway.
But maybe we need a stronger example than… Bike lanes… Though I get the point he’s making.
nah don’t worry, Manjaro users will tell you they use Manjaro
I’m kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)
Now you know how linux users feel
Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don’t see mentioned yet
‘Multi Account Containers’ + ‘Container Tabs Sidebar’ + ‘Switch Container’ + ‘Temporary Containers’ + ‘don’t care about cookies’ ‘Consent-o-matic’
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don’t have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies. at this point mostly because I don’t like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance
ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup
Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc
Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)

My main needs are gaming
Most gaming needs, you’ll have to check protondb to see if you’d be comfortable not being able to play certain games. (games not on steam, you can look to Lutris for community made installers)
While Gold and Silver means games require slight setup (setup is usually explained by user-reports), Platinum means you’re good out of the box, Borked means no chance, you especially want to watch out if your game has an Anti-Cheat (and read the latest user-reports on the game if you’re truly desperate to see if things changed in the last week, like sometimes something like Gundam Evolution quietly enables the linux option in EasyAntiCheat)
If you have a steamaccount, you can log in to get the list of games that you already own on that account to easily see their ratings

Guides are straightforward, you just have to worry about whether you have nvidia or amd

no issues
I’m sorry for the level of discourse I’m about to engage in, but Zuckerberg knows Jiujitsu, I think if Musk had any actual training in any skillful way of fighting we would’ve seen it - the dude probably knows Zuckerberg knows jiujitsu, maybe he was just hoping that he would ignore the challenge? lmao
[Musk] has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights"
dude’s gonna break his back if he doesnt back out last minute
I mean idk shit she says just sound like such elaborate troll-shit, it sounds like someone’s having fun with it.
literally “it came to me in a dream”
you’re thinking of EMPRESS
Definitely presented as out of spite
Some people speculate that this is the cover-up persona to hide that they’re actually a team with people who have worked on Denuvo themselves, and it certainly sounds more believable than this single woman managing to crack Denuvo in 14 days when every other cracker still in the business can’t.
(but also some people are truly insane who knows)
well that sucks
Well I think it’s kinda hard to imagine a free service that doesn’t do either data collection or advertising (read: you are the product), with advertising it makes sense through being a more openly a field that has a lot of money circulating around it, and while I don’t think the average person cares about data collection to the point where they’ll ignore products that do it, it at least serves as bad publicity
The only other viable model I can personally think of is subscriptions, I find it hard to imagine that only forcing big corporations to pay to use your service, or that having it be donationbased would work with the amount of manpower and serverspace these products from within Silicon Valley typically host when they need a lot of money every month until they stop existing
Advertisers are likely to be much more willing to bank their ad dollars with Zuckerberg than smaller rivals.
I’m fine with any most thing that shows you cannot enable harm-to-discourse as much as Musk has. I would sooner them come to Zuckerberg than crawling back to Twitter because it didn’t have an alternative. Twitter is very much a walking corpse right now, but something else coming along to snatch the could-be advertisers secure that it can stay in its fucking pit. (unless various sus governments still somehow see use in keeping it propped up)
They are asking ISPs to lay out their best justification so that they can decide whether it’s valid or not. Judging by their wording, they want a good explanation. It’s good to gain understanding of something before we gut it and who better to ask for the ‘best argument for’ than those who enforce it?
Common center of mass means they spin around each other, having an equal gravitational pull against each other.
Currently the moon orbits earth, but long long in the future, even though the moon is smaller, it will have waned the pull of the earth to an extent where you both go around in the same circle, this happens quicker with objects the more equal in size they are
the space inside the circle they form is a point called the common center of mass because it’s where everything else around them will treat their gravity-source to come from, and both objects revolve around this center.
Having the option to have multiple versions of a dependency without needing to have duplicates of the same version alá flatpak seems like it should’ve been a no-brainer on any linux distro.
With that said I’m very comfortable with my current system, so definitely not until I get majorly fucked by my life-choices
Definitely sounds like a competent player in comparison to most distros though.
And I feel like the terminal isn’t as big a barrier as everyone makes it out to be (part of why I say that is because I think the entire concept of “beginner friendly distros” only makes the terminal seem more impenetrable through that wording)
All-in-one config is definitely something I would’ve hoped Arch had as well, and as a bonus I would love a system that kept all things related to the user in /home (I’m not completely sure Nix does but I may as well throw that in) (homed does not do that as it still has entities outside of /home that you better back up, in fact you’ll risk being locked out of your user if you don’t)
I fucked up a little so I understand the confusion, stars are typically in capital letters, A, B, C.
though clear distinctions are also made here. B, C, D implies a hierarchy of orbits, A is the primary gravitational pull in its system
Aa, Ab, (etc.) is used when two (or more) stars have a common center of mass
Real implications of this example:
Kepler-16A and Kepler-16B have a planet that orbits both (but to be clear they do not having a common center of mass), so it is Kepler-16b, and I didn’t look it up but I assume it’s not 16ABb because there aren’t any A or B planets to differentiate it with
Polaris Aa and Ab are orbiting around a common center of mass, and Polaris B orbits them from further away
Castor has 6 stars, here’s an image
Aa and Ab are still the main center of mass in this system
as an added bonus, black holes do not have a naming convention yet, Sagittarius A* is just in the Sagittarius A region and * is to indicate an exciting or interesting object
and to my knowledge, it is theoretically possible for a planet to orbit an Aa star without orbiting an Ab star but I don’t think we know of any, I assume it would be named like Aa b
The name HD 189733 b is derived from the naming convention used for astronomical objects. Let’s break it down:
Therefore, HD 189733 b signifies the first planet discovered orbiting the star HD 189733. This naming convention allows astronomers and researchers to identify and differentiate between different planets and their host stars in a systematic manner.
TOI 849 b is TESS Object of Interest’s 849th discovery of interest. The numbers are essentially arbitrary outside of that numbers before them have already been taken.
if it’s mandatory to make an instagram account still, there’s literally no point to use it over instagram
