James, while John had had “had”, had had “had had;” “had had” had had a greater effect on the teacher.

Anything’s possible, but…

I have a feeling that the people who are just smart and capable enough to pull this off without any prior legal training or experience are also smart and capable enough to realize how incredibly bad an idea it would be to try in the first place.

If you’re going to fight the case on principle, then it is a no-brainer to hire at least some sort of legal representation. In terms of expected value, I imagine that it’s practically buying free money, at least up to a point.

How could this happen to me

I could of course say this as well. It’s clearer with additional punctuation like “I could, of course, […]”, but I don’t think the comma-free version is technically incorrect (anymore, if it ever was).

New Zealand was not Kung Fu fighting

Their main site – not generated by the LLM – has buttons for “Try le Chat” and “Build on la Platforme” even though I’ve got the British flag selected for language.

That’s because “le Chat” and “la Plateforme” are their language-neutral marketing names for their products.

Sort of like how “GM” is still the name of the car company in like France even though it stands for “General Motors” which is an English term.

Attempts to prevent this phenomenon involve using what is called the “wait calculation” to predict how long to wait to launch an interstellar journey.

A video version of the joke: https://youtu.be/ehiCgps8vow

Its going from 7 to 77, not 57

“from 2 7°C to 77°C” is either “from 27°C to 77°C” with an extremely problematic line break position, or something unintelligible.

Would you say that the meme about the tilting window manager got you tilted?

Why are they encrypting their communications? Do they have something to hide?

If they’ve got nothing to hide, then they’ve got nothing to fear.

Or so I’ve heard, anyway, right?

Indeed, there was a time when they would just fix things without calling them “recalls”.

Then, the government claimed that it was illegal for the company to update things like this — even over-the-air — without also calling them “recalls” and going through this exercise.

Yeah, but to be fair, maybe that fact about the EAC SDK isn’t common knowledge. I mean, we know it in our community, but a Windows-only game dev like Epic might not quite notice.

If that’s the case, then maybe whoever owns EAC could get some good publicity if they could convince Tim Sweeney to do a public stunt like livestreaming the process of opening up the config for Fortnite, enabling it for Proton, and then testing it on the Steam Deck. EAC gets good publicity, and Fortnite gets all the extra revenue from the Steam Deck users.

Of course, Tim Sweeney wouldn’t reach out on his own, he’s probably got far too many bigger things to do. It’s up to whoever owns EAC to get that ball rolling and schedule a meeting with Sweeney to make this proposal and see if they can make it work.

Does anyone know who that second person is? Not Tim Sweeney (the guy who probably doesn’t realize how easy it is to enable this in EAC), but the other person (the person who owns EAC)? Because trying to get through to that first guy is a challenge, so maybe we can get that second person to try their hand at it.

I prefer to convord ttp manually rather than use the trext tims.

But then how do you ensure that the text will be diåble?

I can’t remember the exact number but it’s between 1000 and 900.

Is it 911?

Plays fine for me on Arch using the wine-ge-custom AUR package on a WINEPREFIX set up with winetricks dxvk. I had a little bit more success with the _dx11 version for some odd reason.

BG3ModManager is… probably don’t try it just yet.

you cant say it doesnt do exactly what you want.

As someone (a different guy than whom you’re replying to) who has primarily used Linux-based systems in personal settings for about 15 years or so, I can and will say that.

For the most part, Linux-based systems tend to do exactly what you tell them to do. Whether or not this is exactly what you want, however, is a slightly different point.
