It’s because the precision is overstated in the conversion to imperial. If they’re going to convert units they could at least give the correct significant digits. It should have read (if one insists on not just leaving it in metric):

• Operational altitude: nearly 1 mile (1.5km)
• Weight: Under 1 ton (imperial or metric. Take your pick, it hardly matter.)

You’re specifically crafting a definition for disappeared that does not correspond to the idea that OP is talking about. They are not using disappeared in that kind of literal way. Another turn of phrase or word that they could have used would be “swept under the rug”, “downplayed”, “minimized” “dismissed”, “de-emphasized”. Maybe disappeared isn’t the perfect word, but there’s no need to be so hung up on your own definition specifically crafted to support misunderstanding. That kind of rhetoric is a kind of arguing in bad faith.

Yes, I read your comment. It’s okay if you didn’t understand my comment. Clearly you don’t understand how filesystems and drive mounting works under Linux or the role of desktop environments in managing filesystems, mounting, and permissions. I don’t doubt that you’re genuinely struggling here, but there is no call for that kind of hostility. You might have some hope for figuring it out if you open your mind to the fact that you don’t fully understand what your problem is.

Steam expects the games to be in a particular place with a particular set of permissions and ownership relative to the user(s) and/or group(s) expected to use those game files. I’m telling that Linux doesn’t care where those files physically reside. You can tell Steam that those files are exactly where Steam expects them to be at the filesystem level, without messing with Steam configs, nautilus, gnome, or KDE. There are several ways to do this, but without understanding the requirements of your machine no one here will be able to give you effective advice.

I’ve seen some other comments from you about running something or other as root or just blanket chmods to 777 and I can tell you from experience that those are rarely effective solutions and can sometimes make things worse (just try something like that when configuring ssh configs, keys, and permissions).

What does any of this have to do with KDE, Gnome, or nautilus? If symlinks aren’t working, I’d dedicate an entire drive to Steam by mounting that drive (with matching permissions) right where Steam expects to find them. You can mount a filesystem/disc/ISO/drive/network share practically anywhere you want. If your network is fast enough, I bet you could even access your games over NFS, though I wouldn’t recommend it.

No need to be a troll

Even Starbucks doesn’t really call that just a macchiato. It’s a latte macchiato. If it had Carmel on top and vanilla in the milk it would be a caramel macchiato. It both cases, to any fool that cared to pay attention, macchiato simply means marked. If you point that out to someone and you that rather than being right about what it’s called, it quickly becomes clear if they are just rightly confused and ignorant or looking to start some drama. Some people get VERY aggressive when they sense any slight on their pride. Some people have some very outsized feelings about how Starbucks makes and names their products.

Same deal with the short, tall, grande, venti, trente vs. small, medium, large, 20oz, 30oz. confusion. That one was tricky because Karen’s would misinterpret the calling of the drinks to the bar as a correction. Those people were generally miserable and hopeless.

Diplomatically negotiating these kinds of conversations is a special kind of hell, but the lessons can be valuable. Unfortunately, it’s a skill that most people don’t get paid enough for.

My favorite is to stuff dates with blue cheese and bacon. So much sweet, rich, fatty, salty, and umami that it is almost unbearable. But, it’s also kind of like chewing on the toes of a fresh mummy if blue cheese isn’t your thing.

Now. That’s pretty much the situation now. If you don’t believe me, try and completely remove Edge and Copilot from an updated Windows 11.

The argument in that article is basically “Most calculators do it this way now, so that must be our convention to use, so 16 is the correct answer. Please ignore that this goes against the conventions established before calculators became transistorized.”

COVID bump

Being able to fold down a larger “sheet” display so that it fit in a pocket would be pretty cool. Having extra room for reading things like maps and comic books is so much better than pinching and zooming on a pocket sized display. What you call limited purpose, I call functional design. I’m kind of over all-in-one devices. They’ve turned into Jack of all trades, but master of none.

Obviously that’s not what this device is, but it got me thinking about why I’d want a device with multiple e-ink displays or a foldable display.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

You’re looking for proofs that Pi is constant.

Here are some explanations (without in depth review on my part):

No. Soulseek is old school P2P. All you need to do is run the client software, set a local shared folder, and your are client and server in one. Funkwhale is more like running your own Lemmy instance and building a community. The difference between them is like the difference between using Airdrop or Syncthing to share files and hosting hosting your own domain and server.

Your bizarre logic isn’t even self consistent. I guess I should have known better than to question someone who also thinks holding kinves on a swinging door with magnets is a good idea. You and your kitchen are going to hurt someone.

Just like guessing the temperature of the inside of things and instead opt to only get the temperature at the surface of things? That doesn’t sound great for most kitchen related temperature readings.

It is a basic ingredient in mirepoix, which is used as a base for a variety of sauces, soups, gravies, and stews. It’s just one component of what is basically just a fresh vegetable mix. You can always just substitute whatever you have on hand or local that fits, just like you would with a stir-fry or fried rice. It’s less about the specific vegetables than it is about the way they are prepared and what they contribute. Onions and carrots add sweetness. Celery balances those with its saltiness. Celery and garlic feel to me like a bridge to the other proper herbs like parsley and thyme that usually go in the mirepoix I combine with a good roux to make gravy.

Those reduced civil rights related to border patrol extend about 200 miles in from every U.S. border.

So, by that definition and the definition everyone else is using, the game has been banned from various marketplaces for games. Context matters. In this context ban is used EXACTLY the same way we talk about banned books at the library.

It’s often framed as a system of moral philosophies and the way the impact our behavior and interactions with the world and society. So yes, in many ways, veganism is a religion, or at the very least religion adjacent. Religions aren’t limited to belief in a magical sky daddy.

To be clear, it is clearly bigotry to use “religion” as a label in an effort to be dismissive of anyone’s personal moral belief system or philosophy.
