Giant horse conch

The US was only pro free trade because it let them use their tech advantage (printing presses at the time) to flood less developed nations with their products and propaganda. :P

I believe I saw a youtube clip of him saying his name and Linux that way, yes.

Yeah but you’re not really root, you just have permission to run things as root ;)

That’s my flimsy justification for pronouncing it like pseudo, anyway.

We agree on updating IP laws, but I think they should be curtailed rather than extended. You should not have the monopoly on an idea your entire life. If you can’t milk a fortune from it in 50 years it wasn’t that good an idea, so everyone else should be free to build on and improve it after that point.

And even if you absolutely kill it and your brand is still going strong decades later, that 50 years will cover anything new your did in that time. Plus it’s not like people wouldn’t know yours is the original even after the copyright expire; something entering public domain doesn’t make it legal to claim you invented it if you didn’t.

I’m a gentoo user, so I don’t know how either manjaro or arch lay out their partitions. But in my case, the grub.cfg (menu) file is actually on the root partition, in /boot. The efi partition contains only the grub loader, which I presume knows where to look for grub.cfg because that’s how grub2-setup installed it.

It’s possible you have a similar issue. Your manjaro partition may have a /boot dir which is where grub.cfg is located. Even if your arch partition also has /boot it won’t matter if the grub loader doesn’t read it.

I know Blender can do at least some of this on windows. I assume the same is true on linux?

This is a perspective I just don’t understand, personally. I’ve seen people get super excited about being able to turn off the HUD in Souls games and then die because they didn’t realise they were low on health. I’m sure it can be done well and I’m not judging at all, I just don’t get it. I’d rather have a well made HUD (i.e. Not over the top) than nothing. I kinda wish I understood the appeal.

All that said, I am 10,000% in favour of giving users options in all software. So if you can turn the HUD on or off, add or remove details etc, all the better.

I am under the impression that trees don’t actually produce that much oxygen. That they’re more like carbon banks, storing it as they grow and then releasing it again when they die, rot or burn down. Meanwhile most of the oxygen produced actually comes from algae and other sources.

Source: some old memory of something I heard, so take it with a grain of salt. It would explain these things tho, beyond the cases where growing a tree would be impractical.

“Didn’t that game come out years ago?” Turns out I was thinking of Transistor.

Yes, if not for when the Labor (sic) party got into power that one time, we’d all still be stuck on ADSL2 at best, and dialup at worst, depending on how close you live to a major-ish city. The NBN was a government infrastructure initiative. One which got gutted and watered down as soon as the Liberals got back in.

Oh, and I’ve heard industry insiders claim that the mixed technology stack employed in the “new NBN” – FTTP for some places that already got it, FTTN for everywhere else in the city, fixed wireless or satellite for rural areas – is more expensive on an ongoing basis due to complications than just rolling out more fibre would have been in the long run.

God what a dystopian future. But you may be right, even for single player games.

“Pre-alpha” would be if they hadn’t started coding. It’s alpha. There’s something you can play, it’s just buggy and incomplete and thus not beta. Alpha for this long has enough stigma, you don’t need to exaggerate like that.

Okay? But when my Firefox uses Chrome’s useragent string, the delay also disappears.

No, but it might just be us…

• Re:Creators
• Gurren Lagann
• Onegai Teacher
• Bocchi no Rock

• Zero no Tsukaima

That’s the ones that come to mind.

Whenever I log into teams on my home PC, Firefox pops up to be like “hey, teams is asking to use cookies from microsoftonline.com is that okay?” It’s possible Safari is enforcing something like that but without the prompt.

Nice choice on both. Death Stranding in particular I think I put more effort into building infrastructure to trivialise or avoid walking than I did on anything else. And I loved it.

Can’t win them all. :) But yeah the joke is that the writer of the comment was not human since they didn’t use “we”.

They
