So, question: when the billionaire dies, does their wealth transfer according to local laws? So an entire lineage could instantly turn inside out, including bastard children on the fringes of inheritance, with only an estate tax to save them?

According to Wikipedia, Devastation was also released for Linux. Might even be included in the package you found.

I’m just noticing all of those reddit-to-lemmy lookup tools people made a couple years ago have been abandoned. Either out of date, or no longer online 😕.

In Anomaly I feed them all to my Harbinger Trees for more bioferrite!

But if I had any cannibals, or my Ideoligion didn’t dislike corpses so much, I would probably do things differently.

Right, that’s what I was getting at with my second part hah

Aside from it being a main way that I spend time with friends, it’s good to see mainstream products spend effort supporting Linux as a viable gaming platform. I have friends who haven’t made the jump to Linux yet, but giving up core discord functionality was simply a dealbreaker for them.

As an American, Turbo Tax. I’ve been using FreeTaxUSA for almost 20 years with no problems, without paying for filing software.

But if I weren’t American, my answer would probably be: tax software.

Right, that’s what i mean by optimization. It’s accomplishing the same goal, but amortizes the transfer over more time, saving bandwidth.

The timestamp feature could also be accomplished by publicly posting a small hash of the data ahead of time, but similarly bandwidth can be optimized by distributing the encrypted blob ahead of time.

That’s an optimization for just having the automated email send the secret directly.

Oh yeah, not putting any blame on you, just agreeing with the person above.

On a related note, it’s not even good practice to copy/paste commands directly from the browser to a terminal at all, because it’s possible for unicode/js tricks to completely override what you think you’re yanking to your clipboard. So copy/pasting a curl-to-bash is a double whammy of bad practices.

I much prefer the practice of stating plainly, “here’s a script, consider it an example, make sure you read it first, and run it at your own risk”.

It is not “hurting children” to help them understand their underlying assumptions.

It’s just bad practice to even post such a thing. Especially with an influx of new users to linux, it appears so often it makes it seem like that’s normal behavior.

It’s like…a gun salesman handing a purchase to a customer barrel first, finger on the trigger. Like yeah, it’s not loaded, nothing is going to happen, but that’s just terrible practice.

Bologna storage.

That’s not due to new hardware, battery life is a conscious decision from design/marketing teams. Newer hardware, if it’s worth anything at all, can accomplish more operations at the same TDP as the previous generation. Or more accurately, new hw should always have better performance per watt than older hw (*generally. Of course there are always hardware architecture differences that can dramatically affect performance of very specific scenarios for better and worse, but I’m talking about on-average).

But that doesn’t stop hw manufacturers from bumping up the TDP recommendations to sell their latest chips (why new nvidia GPUs always suck another 100W of power each gen), and it doesn’t stop OEMs from using a higher TDP limit to sell the performance of their handheld (why newer handhelds seem to have worse battery life).

The team that designs a new handheld could use the newer compute hw with the same battery capacity and:

• the same TDP limit, resulting in a marginal increase to performance at the same battery life
• a lower TDP limit, resulting in the same performance in higher battery life

but they often determine neither of those will sell units as well as using a slightly higher TDP limit for higher performance review numbers at the cost of battery life.

This is why I like that SteamOS has a deliberately configurable TDP limit in the flyout menu, per-title! This gives the player manual control over what they consider important rather than leaving it up to a marketing team or some buggy power limit heuristics. Just one more reason why I’m excited to see wider adoption of SteamOS.

Meh, I’d rather people not be able to use the “steamdeck is older hardware” argument to avoid gaming on linux. The more users get used to gaming on linux, the more native support we get from devs.

Yeah, i don’t like that all the more recent devices all added remotes and explicit apps you have to install and launch. Also the “newest” 4k-capable chromecast is from 2020, so I would already be upgrading to old hw that’s a worse experience.

PEBKAC.

But seriously, she needs to understand that, even though she (presumably) taught you how to tie your shoes, you don’t keep having her tie them for you. At some point there is no problem except that she isn’t accepting the solution.

Keeping with the analogy, if a person just refuses to tie shoes, not wearing shoes is always an option…

Hah, I was going to say, I do check for updates at least once when I first get it, because I have run into TVs that shipped with HDR bugs in the stock firmware.

For the Chromecast, what happens with yours? Mine randomly restarts, or reconnects to wifi, or sometimes Plex has trouble buffering until I reboot it.

I recently bought a raspi5 to try out FCast, though currently afaik only Grayjay supports it.

I just never connect my TV to the internet and never have any problems. My old Chromecast is showing its age though.

Oh shoot, that’s lame!

Here’s the track on Soundcloud posted by an account that looks like the record label, so hopefully that works.
