themoken,

I used (u)xterm for like 20 years before discovering that Konsole is solid and beautiful. My whole tiling setup is backed up with KDE apps now.

themoken,

The Bell Riots could still be pivotal even if nuclear war is on the horizon. The people running the government would be different, or, more abstractly, the progressive mindset affects how America recovers afterwards. Perhaps without the Bell Riots, we diverge into the Mirror timeline, for example.

themoken,

Earning a pittance doesn’t mean they’re not slaves. They’re slaves because they can’t quit. Prisoners have basically zero agency in their lives.

themoken,

I’m the opposite. Game nights have a protocol on top of socializing so I feel caged up in a mandatory activity. I’m an extreme introvert and I’d rather just sit and listen to everyone else chit chat than to learn a new game, talk about rules, and be forced to interact.

I dunno, maybe it’s different with friends instead of acquaintances. Or if you already know the games.

themoken,

That’s an interesting thought. I’ve wondered this about Chrome’s market share in browsers too. How much of it is just that so much traffic is now from phones where, even if you have another browser installed, apps open links in embedded Chrome web views.

themoken,

Is the right vs. left ear thing head canon? I like it, but I’ve never heard of that distinction…

themoken,

Andorians are shown at least once in TNG… Lal has an Andorian appearance in the running when choosing her non-android avatar.

themoken,

Hahaha, definitely not

themoken,

The Windows scheduler is so stupid chip manufacturers manipulate the BIOS/ACPI tables to force it to make better decisions (particularly with SMT) rather than wait on MS to fix it.

Linux just shrugs, figures out the thread topology anyway and makes the right decisions regardless.

themoken,

Nobody running a FOSS third party launcher is an average end user. Also, people routinely add flags to typical games even on Windows (e.g. -skiplauncher)… It’s really not that big a deal.

themoken,

Came here for the Discworld reference, was not disappointed.

themoken,

Really? I use Arch native Steam and Proton no problem. You either use steam-runtime (uses built in Ubuntu runtime) or steam-native (expects Arch packages) but there is a meta package for pulling the runtime deps. Both have worked for me.

That said, Flatpak has come in clutch for me as well on the Steam Deck, and for things like Prism Launcher (modded Minecraft launcher) where you want to juggle multiple Java versions without needing to run archlinux-java between switching packs.

themoken,

The Hayes code sucked, but the way directors needed to be creative to get around it was great. Modern directors could learn a lot about making romantic relationships smolder and using innuendo instead of adding cheap sex.

themoken,

Mad God was incredible. I was blown away the first time I watched it.
