DLSS doesn’t work that well. I’m not looking forward to AI replacing artist’s work.

I’ve watched the whole thing. It’s so close to something I’d really like, at least in concept. But the ball is dropped so hard in crucial areas :(

Buy the gog version and make a backup of the offline installer version. Turn off automatic updates if you have installed it via one of the game manager apps.

That’s probably rather difficult because these websites are essentially computer programs that are rendering their content live. It’s like if you got an phone app to detect when another phone app is viewing something that looks like a book or document, and to then automatically make a paginated PDF of that app…

Meanwhile tv manufacturers are working on AI to sneak in more advertising.

My parents bought a TOS DVD set. They watched it originally when it was airing.

My local used game store rarely has the valuable old games anymore.

/home is for every program to store its personal junk in hidden files apaprently

Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing

What I could gather:

• both items and bro attacks (the bro attacks seem to be short and quick, the items seem to be longer)
• something about combining basic attacks into “combination attacks” but they didn’t have a clip of this

Metal and glass are recycleable. And if they do get into the environment, they are really just purified rocks and will gradually become sand in the weather. (Not that it’s great to have soda cans and broken glass in the sea, but to some extent it’s not as bad as microplastics).

Paper is recycleable.

Paper, wood, and other plant products (e.g. cotton) are biodegradable and come from plants that can be farmed.

In terms of sustainability it’s something like:

1. Plant products
2. Metal and glass
3. Plastics

But also even more important than that, it’s far better to reuse something many times than to use single use products, regardless of the material they are made of.

Ways open source projects get paid for:

• people do it as a hobby and don’t get paid
• people rely on donations
• government funded software projects are usually open source
• software created in an academic setting is usually released as open source (this often overlaps with government funding, but not always). Many important open source projects started in academia. Many open source licenses were initially written by academia for those projects (BSD was created by UC Berkeley, and the MIT license was created by MIT).
• Sometimes companies have a business model that doesn’t involve selling software, and they don’t really benefit from having that software be proprietary. They may open source their software because it gets other people to use it, and by extension gets people to buy their paid products. For example, there are some free, open source software projects by Nvidia, but you would need to buy one of their graphics cards to take advantage of it.
• Dual licensing. One strategy is to release your code as open source but under a copyleft license so it isn’t business-friendly. When a business wants to use it, they pay for a proprietary-licensed copy instead of using the open source copyleft version.

Not all games are like that. BG3 is an example of a game that isn’t like that.

Honestly if you buy a Mac give macOS a try. It’s Unix based so you’ll feel at home in the command line. It doesn’t come with a command line package manager but there are two popular ones you can install (homebrew and macports).

Unfortunately it really doesn’t. And it’s actually Linux that’s the bigger problem: whenever it decides to updates GRUB it looks for OSes on all of your drives to make grub entries for them. It also doesn’t necessarily modify the version of grub on the booted drive.

Yes I’m sure there’s a way to manually configure everything perfectly but my goal is a setup where I don’t have to constantly manually fix things.

I played the previous mobile version of the Pokemon TCG. The problem is, the game doesn’t even try to be balanced. Whoever has the most valuable cards wins - full stop. The more valuable cards are just straight up more powerful, rarely with any cost difference or drawbacks.

There are plenty of good mobile TCGs out there though.

I think the thickening products just try to coat your hairs in oil or something to make each individual hair appear thicker to make the overall hair appear more full.

There are products like minoxidil that actually promote hair growth.

Ask here to get bandwagon responses and memes. If you really want an actual answer, go look up the Wikipedia article on the topic at the very least.

Don’t show this to the Rust fans
