“The sky is red.” isn’t an opinion, its a wrong fact.

That’s not an opinion. An opinion is “I don’t like hamburgers.”

Types of sugars are facts.

There’s a lot of types of sugars and it’s worth it to know the difference. Table sugar is not the same as an orange, which isn’t the same as a sugary drink. They are all different types of sugars that hit the gut in different ways and require different processes to digest.

Not all sucrose is created equally.

After getting royally screwed on Day Z Standalone, it’s been interesting watching people get scammed over and over again with it.

I once tried to restore replication on a broken MySQL cluster by restoring the backup on the only good, running node.

LOL I can’t even get people to eat LESS meat and ride bikes. You’re utterly delusional.

Yeah, we stopped for a few days for covid and mother earth immediately started to make a comeback while we all collectively decided to develop brain conditions rather than make slight adjustments to our lifestyles.

I meant right stick, sorry.

I’ve played a few FPSes on my Deck and I always map the joystick to medium sensitivity and the right track pad to low sensitivity and then enable gyro if the left stick is being touched so I have two ways of precision aiming. If the game supports it I map left stick click with 180 spin which covers almost all of the necessary movements.

Tetris and Rocket League

No way. Tetris Effect Connect on the Unreal Engine. I bought it twice just to have it on my Switch, PC, and Steam Deck.

First game I install

It’s bonkers these games are almost 20 years old already.

Nvidia graphics?! what are they thinking??

HARD pass.

My 2021 XPS 13" is quad core i7, 32gb of ram, 1tb nvme, 5k touch screen, running arch. 3-4 hours battery life. Nothing close to Apple but power in linux is always a crapshoot.

POP and IMAP are pretty much dead at this point. Email is basically dead at this point. Want to spin up a machine and have it email you system messages? Nope. Want to run a Python script that sends to gmail? lol. https://mailtrap.io/blog/gmail-smtp/

On all my microservers I have pretty much have 22, 80, and 443 open. I try to interact exclusively over web ports for as much as possible.

The advent of REST API endpoints really muddies everything up when all requests are going over the web.

I’ve never wiresharked my workstation to verify but I absolutely review my DNS logs on my pihole and I have never seen what you’re describing.

On all the work servers I maintain we pretty much install anything that’s not in the base repo to /opt/

Honestly, I always HATED dual-booting off one drive. It’s infuriating and Windows can and will fuck your boot loader. I always found it so much easier to just have two disks and select which one I wanted to boot from the quick-post boot menu, or hopefully have a grub that matches the windows drive. That way both disks stay agnostic of the boot partitions and partition types. When I was a runt in college I had a laptop with a drive tray back when those were a thing. Now I just run Windows in QEMU on my laptops.

Except your wrong. Get over it.

LOL russian intrusions into china when you share a border is HARDLY “the west trying to colonize china.”

What?! Who’s the ‘west’ and when was this attempt made? Where was it made? How was it made? By whom? With what army?

lol rt.com – not a source of valid information.

Your Japanese is so poor for such a short sentence. you’d use GA there. also ‘nee ze’ sounds weird. you already added a conjugation to the end of the verb. Don’t learn Japanese from anime. You just sound like a fucking moron.

In 2020 they were attempting to add HID support for CDJs. Does anyone know how far along that effort is? I would LOVE to convert my library from Rekordbox to Mixxx and just bring a little laptop to a gig instead of hoping and praying that LINK mode works.

It’s not unclear at all. Journals are not bastions of science any longer. They are a money making scheme for already wealthy assholes. Actual scientists and researchers have been bemoaning how shitty journals are for decades.

Wait really? I can build an ATX Arm system? I’m a SBC whore but I never even considered a full desktop build…

I wonder what in the Arm world compares GPU-wise with what Apple is doing…

I cannot imagine how difficult and rewarding the work doing this must be. I wish I was a good enough programmer to get involved.

This is technically very false. Windows most definitely is not “free” as in air or beer. It’s license fee is reduced to 0 but there most certainly is still a license and businesses pay out the ass for them. macOS also has a license, but it comes with the hardware. Technically, you cannot install macOS on non-mac hardware, per EULA, but there’s no license check outside of hardware support, which is the space the hackintosh world comes in.

Its not Linux’s fault you don’t understand proper versioning.

yeah the entire market segment is riddled with cheap chinese shit to downright fraudulent devices.

No they didn’t. Cell phones were magic in the 90s and every major iteration was met with rampant consumerism. No one, at any point, said holding an internet connected device in your hand was stupid. Find me ONE article.

I don’t care what you think.

Yeah I did a bit of reading. I was about to blame the no-name Chinese storage! There’s so much garbage nvme stuff floating around lately.

I’ll interact with the world the way I see fit, thanks.

What brand is Kioxia?

I worry about how consumerism and capitalism will kill us all but I don’t give a shit about this in particular. If I saw one in the wild the first thing I would do is give the owner and endless stream of shit for buying such a stupid waste of money.

Nice!! I love a happy ending.
