I think upgrading the RAM as you mentioned is going to make a big difference. While the physical RAM might be soldered to the motherboard, you could buy a fairly cheap SD card or USB and set the system up to use that as virtual memory. It won’t be as fast as actual RAM but it might help and large SD cards are honestly really cheap these days.

I love Eric Barone! He sticks to his convictions in the way I wish more video game developers would. He’s made so much money from Stardew Valley that he never needs to work a day for the rest of his life, but he chooses to put in the time to continue releasing free content and working on new passion projects and giving back to the community. He could have monetized the hell out of Stardew, releasing DLCs and hired a huge development team to crank out new content to make him richer until the original game became unrecognizable.

So many game developers have gone down that route, or simply sold off their creation to a company that they know full well plans to do just that.

Also, I just love his mentality about things. He knows that nobody really asked for Haunted Chocolatier, and he doesn’t really care if it’s successful, he just wants to make something new for himself. I hope it is successful, but I’m glad to see that he’s not hinging his hopes on it’s success but instead just enjoying the process of making something, which is really beautiful and I think more people should focus their energies on those kinds of exploits and outcomes.

The thing that most people struggle with in the water temple is finding one of the keys. There’s one key that requires you to step on an elevator but get off of it before it moves which reveals a hidden area underneath the elevator. Anyone familiar with the Soulsborne series of games will always know to check under an elevator, but of course Ocarina of Time came out way before that.

If it never occurs to you to check under the elevator, you’ll get stuck and wander around for hours trying to find the last key you need which is why, I think, most people hate it.

Exactly, as labels are meant to be. Use them if they suit you, don’t bother if it’s not for you.

lol thanks MrPoopyButthole!

I think the absolute best way I’ve heard it described is simply: Extroverts get charged up around people, while introverts lose energy around people and need some time by themselves to recharge their batteries before socializing again.

Are you using the dedicated GPU as your primary GPU or the integrated GPU? I’ve found using the dGPU as the primary can sometimes lead to suspend/resume issues.

If you have an unusual setup, it can be annoying trying to give programs permissions and sometimes it just outright doesn’t work. For example, I mainly game on a laptop which has a pretty small hard drive, so I tend to put most of my games on an external hard drive. Flatpak really doesn’t play well with that.

The act of disliking something vocally is an act in trying to ruin that thing for the people that enjoy it. Disliking things is not a hobby, they are not the same thing. Not to mention the attitude of disliking is extremely negative. If that’s your take on life, then you suck.

Let people enjoy things. You don’t have to engage with it if you don’t want to.

Yeah, I’m saying that I agree that version numbers are harmful to mass adoption and I go on to explain that it’s not really a version number at least in Ubuntu, but a “YY.MM” formatted date. I think making that more clear would help people that are unfamiliar with versioning and development.

Anyone coming from a development background will entirely get the idea of stable releases. 23.10 or 24.04 are just rolling releases of a stable distro. It’s the production ready version. You can choose to opt-in to the development updates at the risk that your system might be slightly more unstable, but that’s not a decision that a casual user should consider.

The version numbers on Ubuntu specifically, are just dates. 23.10 is the stable release from October, 2023. That’s all it is and there’s really no point in thinking about it deeper than that. It’s a date, not really a version number.

My partner likes to listen to lofi music. Lately she’s been obsessed with Baldur’s Gate 3 so she plays a youtube video that’s 10 hours of the “down by the river” song and a campfire sound from BG3. We’ve also done a 10 hour Star Trek TNG bridge noises video before for awhile lol

I think it’s that neuro-diverse people tend to gravitate towards each other, so this is probably survivor’s bias. I definitely find that other people with ADHD are able to grab and hold my attention better than neuro-typical people and also they’re more understanding and forgiving when I’m flaky, or too hyperactive, or whatever.

I just started using Proton, but I don’t think any of their apps are available for Linux natively, which is disappointing. I mostly use Proton apps inside Ferdium which I find useful for combining all of my productivity apps and Ferdium basically just keeps a website loaded, and websites are always cross platform compatible. I would love to know if there’s a timeline for Linux apps in mind.

It’s definitely an edge case by say you’re in ~/ and you run a script like ./code/script.sh then it thinks the current working direct is ~/ rather than what is probably intended which is ~/code/. If your bash script uses full paths like /home/$USER/code/ then it will still run correctly regardless of the current working directory that the scrip was run from.

YouTube throttles some of the more popular instances. Find a less popular one. I was also finding that thumbnails and subtitles weren’t loading on some instances. After switching to a fairly obscure one, everything works. You could also try piped which I find generally works better and I like the interface better.

That’s true of any galaxies which aren’t gravitationally bound. At closer distances (tens/hundreds of millions of light years) gravity wins out over the expansion of space and keeps things together. At larger distances, the expansion of space wins out and clusters of galaxies will drift apart faster and faster until the combined speed of them moving away and us moving away from them will exceed the speed of light and we’ll never see those galaxies again.

Our neck of the woods is called the Local Group because scientists are bad at naming things and includes the Milky Way galaxy, and the Andromeda galaxy, as well as between 50 to 80 more galaxies.

As for the black holes, yes, eventually all that will be left are black holes for trillions of years until even those evaporate which is often called the “Heat Death” of the universe. That is just a theory, but if it’s true, it won’t happen for 1.07x10^106 years. Considering the universe is only 13.8 billion years old right now, that’s a very, very, very long time.

It really depends whether he got the devs of “Lutris, Heroic, Legendary, Bottles, etc.” to agree to use the unified runtime before starting this project. As long as he gets most of the big players to join then it will actually become the only standard worth using.

It’s important that they say structure because the scientific discovery is about how these galaxies are gravitationally bound in a cluster. That means that despite the expansion of space, these galaxies will never separate from one another, hence they are a single structure. It’s a breakthrough discovery because every model of the universe we currently use says a structure this large is impossible.
