I’ve had dreams where I played a 2D top down game, and my perception would get mixed up/confused between the top down game view and a first person perspective.

I could certainly see myself dreaming of watching a video of something happening and transitioning from watching it to being there.


Despite having Table in the name, FAT isn’t a table, but rather uses a table, and FAT itself is a filesystem. Thus, it’s different from a machine with “machine” being in the name or a number with “number” in the name, and it seems entirely reasonable to refer to the crucial index table in the FAT filesystem as the “FAT table”


Do you actually need conventional explosives? I had the impression all they do is reliably stick the big hunks of radioactive material together in a big bomb that needs to be delivered at high speeds and detonate automatically. Wouldn’t it be enough to quickly shove a cylinder into a bigger core, perhaps with a motor or even a tensioned spring?

That of course doesn’t waive the issue of the amount of fissile material, or the fact it needs to be all put together (you can’t spread it around a vest)


Not the wrong place if you want to comply with the law, as he explains in the PR comments, the law requires the installer to prompt for age when creating users.


If you mean molten salt reactors, guess what they do with the molten salt to make electricity…


I think with how Matrix is structured clients can support features that are not part of the core, including video calls. That said, it does mean you need to use one of the clients that support it (I think the most popular ones do), I think it’s built on jitsi, and doesn’t support screensharing (at least not with audio).


It’s more like “Arch Linux breaks if you don’t update for too long, then try to naively update without knowing what you’re doing and without checking the arch news for breaking changes”. Which is more breakage during updates than stable distros, but absolutely manageable.


I think the “independent” label might be more about the decision making being dependent on an organization?

This is also a meme community and those charts are never that serious, and considering people will disagree about the placements anyways, trying to have more precision might be pointless.


Okay, but MacOS doesn’t work on everything because Apple doesn’t want it to. They want you to only use their devices, and only run their systems on them.


Ironically, I think Arch might be a better first time distro than CachyOS, because if you’re willing to go through the manual installation process and learn from all the fuckups you’ll make, you can come out of it with the knowledge necessary to manage your install. Though of course I would only recommend it with the warning that your system will be mostly broken for a while and you’d be constantly figuring out and fixing things, so not a good idea if you need your computer working.

But it does seem like a nice distro for if you already know what you’re doing and want to save time getting things set up (and maybe those performance improvements are significant enough, I’ve seen people give big figures)



I miss the Watcher, and still suck with the new characters (and defect apparently), but it definitely is fun. Love that they officially included multiplayer in the game, it works great (though it either makes the game considerably easier, or my friend is just carrying me :D)



Funnily, with gold you don’t even need heat for things like forming coins.


There is a possibility that his preference for peanut butter isn’t that strong, and it’s easier to just stock one kind. It’s also possible she eats significantly more peanut butter than him, so his jar would sit unfinished for much longer, possibly separating out.

And if it’s something like that, it’d just be a funny way to state their situation.


As far as I know, if you go that way, you’ll find yourself fighting the engine as all the other tools are being adjusted to fit nanite+lumen+TAA, and you’ll still get bad results. That’s on top of them just not developing solutions that work without that whole stack.


Unreal, latest and greatest? Hah, good one! It might be latest, but Lumen can go die a hole, and fuck every single technology forcing more reliance on temporal accumulation. Also fuck screenspace reflections, those are basically designed to look good in specific cinematic shots while causing artifacts all over the place while actually playing.

Unreal these days is more like making the game run 10x worse and take up more space while looking better in specific cases.

I definitely agree with having more people try Godot, especially if they’re willing to contribute when they run into roadblocks they have to fix.


The optimistic approach is that they have a unified VR runtime that is straight up missing features on Linux, so hopefully they’ll fix that up and improve it to work better.


A quick search and a glance at the Wikipedia article suggests the flag was appropriated by Nazis, so are you suggesting people shouldn’t educate themselves if the topic was appropriated by Nazis, or is there more to it?


If you’re wtf-ing about votes being public, it’s an inherent and necessary part of federation, since there’s no central instance that counts votes and decides the score, each instance needs to add them up - and if each instance doesn’t receive the full list of voters, there’s no way to stop an instance from completely lying about vote counts (they would need to create fake users to attribute the votes to, or attribute fake votes to real users they have)
