“Dieselpunk transhumanism” is a criminally unexploited concept.

This is where the RTFM mindset is important. If you encounter an issue, there’s multiple decades’ worth of information on the internet that will most likely immediately provide an answer.

The location of installed files is determined by long-standing conventions that were in effect even before Linux was released… but I won’t go into it. You can read about it yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_filesystem

This is my point: do you need to know this? Nine out of ten cases, this is not useful knowledge. I’m a sysadmin and even I don’t need to know where each program’s files are located. You should not be interacting with these files at all. Let a package manager do that.

At the same time, I’ve seen people use their Steam Deck as a server.

To delegate the responsibility of securing login data to a company better equipped to deal with it (in theory at least). You can also use an external OIDC provider.

Not as glamorous if you consider that Liz Truss lasted 3.5 Concords in office, and a rotting head of lettuce exceeded even that.

“Please, guys, we really need the money!”

Destiny is on life support, Hunters Gathering is dead on arrival, Marathon’s future is bleak, Concord is Concord, and the one studio that could’ve printed them easy money is dead because the sorry excuse of a circus that is Sony leadership really wanted a live service God Of War title. Gee, I wonder why sales are low.

I bought my current car with ~69000 kilometres in it (which may or may not have influenced my choice), but got complacent and missed 80085.

Tailscale. Create an account, put the client on the LAN device, put the client on the remote device, log in on both, you’re done. It bypasses NAT, CGNAT, and the firewall through some UDP black magic fuckery. As long as the router allows outgoing connections, it will work.

If the factory resets cause the router to lose connection to the ISP, though, then nothing will work.

I agree completely. There’s only one chance to make a first impression. The final ad slot of TGA needs a worthy game that the audience can be excited about, and putting the most generic, most corporate-looking game there felt like an insult. Kind of like this absolute flop.

Not a lot, just enough to get the feel of the game, but also to realize that I’m not the target audience. In some ways, it’s similar to Counter-Strike 1.6 or Team Fortress 2 back in high school: if I have a group of friends and an hour of free time, then sure, I might hop on. But I won’t be investing the time and long-term effort that an extraction shooter expects of me.

The moment to moment experience is good. Bungie haven’t forgotten how to create a tight FPS experience. But the game needs both longevity and a healthy playerbase, that’s what concerns me. Fans of hardcore extraction shooters already have Tarkov and Hunt, and casual players already have Arc Raiders. It takes something exceptional to move players out of their “home” game.

I don’t see how this would be a grift. Tencent’s funding seems to have been contingent on some kind of metric, and they pulled out because Highguard fell short.

Marathon is probably life or death for Bungie. Sony can’t exactly afford to put out a mid game after spending so much on the studio… and “mid” is exactly what Marathon felt like. Just like so many copycats during the battle royale boom.

I don’t think it will fail (or if it does, not as hard as Highguard), but unless it manages to stand out from the Tarkov/Arc Raiders/Hunt: Showdown oligopoly, it won’t bring in the numbers to please Sony.

By “dev team”, I’m guessing you mean the artists, designers, programmers, and testers; the people who spent the last five or so years actually creating the game. Yes, it sucks for them. Their years of work have effectively been thrown in the trash because of Wildlight’s management. I hope they find better work soon, and I hope the management become personae non gratae in the industry.

Mongolian folk music is criminally underutilized.

Why do I need it to be integrated into fucking Notepad?

The rate at which every security practice is being torn down for the sake of clankers is giving me suicidal tendencies. Surely you will not regret giving the token-based randomness machine root access!

Simply dual-booting is viable. My Win10 + Arch worked well for over a year. If you’re worried about Windows Update nuking the EFI partition, you can clone a backup of just that partition (dd or a dedicated tool like Clonezilla) that you can then restore from a live environment if needed. Another option, if the disk becomes unbootable, is to boot into a live environment from a USB stick and simply reinstall GRUB into the EFI partition.

(edit) It’s also a good idea to reduce the frequency of forced updates. You can do that using WinUtil.

Windows Update has a habit of eating the EFI partition. That’s how I finally switched to full-time Linux. LTSC doesn’t update as frequently as Win10 Pro, and probably doesn’t touch the EFI partition as much, so there’s a smaller chance for that to happen.

Dual-booting can work for years without issue. My method just ensures that Windows Update has absolutely zero chance to fuck with the ESP.
