Here it’s similar. I’ve found out that if to the question

do you have our membership?

I respond “No, thank you”, they often understand correctly and don’t assume I want to set one up

lol. When it was about women dress-code

It’s a tradiciun!

Line judges?

oh, yeah. Go ahead

But it’s still C

I think ++C is going full ahead to D

The more I think about it, the less sense this graphic has

1. If not per sq km, it should at least be per capita
   just checking on wikipedia, divided by area GB should have bar around twice high as Germany. 209k m^2 vs 357k m^2
2. and what does it mean 1 datacenter in the first place?
   big as a city sprawling datacenter complex and a bunch of racks in the cellar both count as 1?

mosts music tastes stagnate after your teens

Whoah. That claim skipped a few entire genres of my tastes

And I’m pretty sure at least a few artists I listen to are younger than me

For some reason I also read “first” the first time I looked at the title

I’ve heard that too. But I don’t really have an opinion on other authors, I’m more often exploring the lore for a run instead of reading Sixth World fiction, unfortunately

A minority Ubisoft investor (…) noting that Ubisoft’s share price has fallen by over 40% since last year. Accordingly, Krupa wants the board to “take Ubisoft private or allow it to sell to strategic investor”

Looks to me as if someone wanted a fast lever and with that failing now they’d like to sell ASAP

EDIT:

AJ Investments appear to be new kids on the block as Ubisoft minority shareholders. According to Krupa, “we started our Ubisoft position couple weeks ago and are still adding to it”. They do, however, boast of their “extensive knowledge about the gaming industry” after being a “long-term shareholder in Activision Blizzard”.

"We cannot understand the decision-making process of current management

U-huh

I think it comes from diminishing experience windows provides

An example, since a few windows versions I can’t get to install an old HP printer because they haven’t written the drivers for it. On Linux it works fine.
You don’t want ads and your os to be sending your passwords who knows where? AFAIK ATM no long time support version of windows provides that.
My gaming buddy is rather well versed in computer stuff, he’s the person that writes and hosts our discord bots. He can’t make sound drivers to work as he wants. Sometimes things go loud without reason, sometimes mute doesn’t work, sometimes sounds play on an output that according to Windows is muted… Crazy stuff

That’s why I wrote it’s another unpopular opinion. Somehow the internet claims Arch is hard when to me it’s been the easiest distro I’ve ever used

• No GUI bs, unless you install it yourself, that you never know what it does under the hood. The config file you find in man is the config file that governs the thing - easy
• You deleted a little bit too much? You just reinstall package, like in Slackware - easy
• You need something from outside the packages? Arch is very well prepared for you building things from source and install it in a sane way, instead of pure make install, like Gentoo - easy
  And PKGBUILD is easy to understand, RPM and DEB package creation is black magic
• You don’t have a lot of crap in the system that you are not sure you need. Since it comes rather plain, you either install something you want, or it gets installed as dependency

But, of course, YMMV
And I’ve tried “easier” distros in the past. Sooner or later it always felt like I need proprietary set of keys to unscrew the lid to flip one small cable

I was mocking around with GPU drivers in order to make Podman containers to access the GPU. (…) I don’t have much spare time and I would like to play a game, I used to play before, without spending hours/days fixing issue that didn’t exist last time I played it.

And

I had other, non-regular user issues with those

I think, you should keep these two things (messing with containers accessing GPU and “just play a game”) separate. I mean on separate boxes. Because now you can’t “just play” because you’ve been elbows deep in OS internals. You can’t take apart your fridge and then expect it to just cool the water the next day

“optimised” for KDE

Then I’m guessing these might need some KDE envs

Yes, I use it on a daily basis but there’s no easy way to get it working on iOS/iPadOS.

Ah, you’re trying to breach the non-open wall. Is there an app on i* that allows you to set up an ftp/http file sharing server on the device? You probably could set it up as rclone upstream

started with Mandrake, moved to Mandriva, spent over a year on Ubuntu and recently I’ve been using Fedora

Another unpopular opinion:
That’s because you’ve been using distributions that are either behind the times or have a lot of wonky crap added to them that looks like user friendliness when it works and is like fixing windows when it doesn’t (I’ve been through similar path, just with a few other distros along the way)

Start with Gentoo or Arch (maybe Slackware). These are close to the grass, so the way to set things up is the way to fix things up

some apps don’t respect desktop scaling

are these gtk based apps? Different toolsets require different envs

syncing

Have you tried syncthing?

I think Musk is another puppet when it comes to X (SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink not necessarily IMO). It’s interesting how the message of both is “I’ll make world easier by reducing number of people and processes”. And it seems such language gets following

I know nothing about Ireland politics. But is it me that’s jaded or this looks like puppet president?

This is where the name relativity comes in. You have to think in terms of relative speed. Your speed relative to earth will indeed advance closer and closer to c but never reach it. There’s a bunch of really wild and crazy implications behind this.

ah, right. In a ship travelling with c, for someone outside the ship, I turn on the lights and observe the light to travel with c. For that external observer the light from my lamp travels at the same speed as my ship

My mind was already bent! ;)

It’s popular to think of those things as like crazy high G turns but they’re not. You’re just flying in a straight line through space time.

Soooo… Interstellar was wrong with all the shaking of the camera?

Are you on earth or is the ship in space accelerating at a constant rate? Again, there’s no way to tell. They are, physically, the same.

In case of accelerating ship, I wonder what would happen in local frame once you hit/get really close to c. You’d get decelerated out of nowhere? Just as if you hit something?

The understanding I got from school was that gravity might be some kind of force and basically one mass attracts other mass, like electric potentials do

Keep in mind, that was 20 years ago. Our understanding might have changed and tbh I wouldn’t expect a high school physics teacher to be on the bleeding edge of research in all physics fields

True. But that correction still doesn’t unbend my mind

Then, I think, go into Steam, open the page of the game in library and in the options somewhere on the right, just below the image (?), try to disable something like Steam controller input for this game

uhm. Ok, let’s get back one step. What is Steam shortcut?

It works when I launch through Lutris, but yea - using the Steam shortcut it doesn’t work

Does “steam shortcut” mean that you are running lutris from steam? In such case maybe it’s the other way round than what I proposed earlier - steam controller thingy grabs the controller and because of that it doesn’t go straight to the game?
