But it's still C

I think ++C is going full ahead to D

The more I think about it, the less sense this graphic has

  1. If not per sq km, it should at least be per capita
    just checking on wikipedia, divided by area GB should have bar around twice high as Germany. 209k m^2 vs 357k m^2
  2. and what does it mean 1 datacenter in the first place?
    big as a city sprawling datacenter complex and a bunch of racks in the cellar both count as 1?

mosts music tastes stagnate after your teens

Whoah. That claim skipped a few entire genres of my tastes

And I'm pretty sure at least a few artists I listen to are younger than me

For some reason I also read "first" the first time I looked at the title

I think it comes from diminishing experience windows provides

An example, since a few windows versions I can't get to install an old HP printer because they haven't written the drivers for it. On Linux it works fine.
You don't want ads and your os to be sending your passwords who knows where? AFAIK ATM no long time support version of windows provides that.
My gaming buddy is rather well versed in computer stuff, he's the person that writes and hosts our discord bots. He can't make sound drivers to work as he wants. Sometimes things go loud without reason, sometimes mute doesn't work, sometimes sounds play on an output that according to Windows is muted... Crazy stuff

That's why I wrote it's another unpopular opinion. Somehow the internet claims Arch is hard when to me it's been the easiest distro I've ever used

  • No GUI bs, unless you install it yourself, that you never know what it does under the hood. The config file you find in man is the config file that governs the thing - easy
  • You deleted a little bit too much? You just reinstall package, like in Slackware - easy
  • You need something from outside the packages? Arch is very well prepared for you building things from source and install it in a sane way, instead of pure make install, like Gentoo - easy
    And PKGBUILD is easy to understand, RPM and DEB package creation is black magic
  • You don't have a lot of crap in the system that you are not sure you need. Since it comes rather plain, you either install something you want, or it gets installed as dependency

But, of course, YMMV
And I've tried "easier" distros in the past. Sooner or later it always felt like I need proprietary set of keys to unscrew the lid to flip one small cable

I was mocking around with GPU drivers in order to make Podman containers to access the GPU. (...) I don’t have much spare time and I would like to play a game, I used to play before, without spending hours/days fixing issue that didn’t exist last time I played it.

And

I had other, non-regular user issues with those

I think, you should keep these two things (messing with containers accessing GPU and "just play a game") separate. I mean on separate boxes. Because now you can't "just play" because you've been elbows deep in OS internals. You can't take apart your fridge and then expect it to just cool the water the next day

“optimised” for KDE

Then I'm guessing these might need some KDE envs

Yes, I use it on a daily basis but there’s no easy way to get it working on iOS/iPadOS.

Ah, you're trying to breach the non-open wall. Is there an app on i* that allows you to set up an ftp/http file sharing server on the device? You probably could set it up as rclone upstream

started with Mandrake, moved to Mandriva, spent over a year on Ubuntu and recently I’ve been using Fedora

Another unpopular opinion:
That's because you've been using distributions that are either behind the times or have a lot of wonky crap added to them that looks like user friendliness when it works and is like fixing windows when it doesn't (I've been through similar path, just with a few other distros along the way)

Start with Gentoo or Arch (maybe Slackware). These are close to the grass, so the way to set things up is the way to fix things up

some apps don’t respect desktop scaling

are these gtk based apps? Different toolsets require different envs

syncing

Have you tried syncthing?

I think Musk is another puppet when it comes to X (SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink not necessarily IMO). It's interesting how the message of both is "I'll make world easier by reducing number of people and processes". And it seems such language gets following

I know nothing about Ireland politics. But is it me that's jaded or this looks like puppet president?

This is where the name relativity comes in. You have to think in terms of relative speed. Your speed relative to earth will indeed advance closer and closer to c but never reach it. There’s a bunch of really wild and crazy implications behind this.

ah, right. In a ship travelling with c, for someone outside the ship, I turn on the lights and observe the light to travel with c. For that external observer the light from my lamp travels at the same speed as my ship

My mind was already bent! ;)

It’s popular to think of those things as like crazy high G turns but they’re not. You’re just flying in a straight line through space time.

Soooo... Interstellar was wrong with all the shaking of the camera?

Are you on earth or is the ship in space accelerating at a constant rate? Again, there’s no way to tell. They are, physically, the same.

In case of accelerating ship, I wonder what would happen in local frame once you hit/get really close to c. You'd get decelerated out of nowhere? Just as if you hit something?

 

I was very excited to see that open hardware seems to be happening, despite my perception

But it seems that OpenTitan is somehow connected to Google. And now I'm conflicted

I know that eventually the answer is "whatever I want" but I would like to hear what others think.

There's an MCT oil rig on Baltic Sea. Anarchists from Kronstadt noticed peculiar data transfer some time ago going there and managed to hijack the place. Then they transmitted message that they are an eco terrorist group (I did not specify which one to my players) and demand MCT to stop polluting. After that, folded the satellite dish to buy some time for the decker and rigger to look around the host.

Now, from a point of, for example, TerraFist. An oil rig nearby is in disarray, none of their contacts in other groups say they're doing it. And MCT HTR is definitely on its way.
Does it make sense for them to come to the rig and make contact/make sure it gets disabled/make trouble for HTR?

I think their appearance has potential to turn this job into a nice chaotic clusterfuck and opportunity to show my players some variety of the world (they would definitely come on a yacht going superspeed with help of a spirit).
But does it make any sense at all for anyone besides me?

 

I might be wrong but I'm 90% sure the Shadowrun (ttrpg) community was on this instance. Now I can't find it anywhere (cross-instance community search doesn't find it too) and I can see in my profile that my posts sent there disappeared too.
Was the community closed? I couldn't find this info in the modlog

 

Blades' "skip to the action"+retrospective+stress mechanics worked really well for my table.

I'm looking for other systems and homebrews that would allow us to "plan" the heists later, during the actual action.

I stumbled upon this channel long time ago. Since then he claims to have Grown Real Spider Silk Using Yeast or taught rat neurons to play Doom.
The way he presents the content doesn't sound like a complete fantasy but my understanding of the topics is very rudimentary.

What do Lemmy biologists think about this channel?

And what do Lemmy scientists in general think?

My characters are organizing an extraction of local (country) MCT head of security. He is Japanese, raised by the corp from birth, but not completely beguiled as his son is an orc and he had to pull some levers to get him into school etc.
He's aware of extraction and agreed to it.

But the twist is that he decided to get extracted because he's taking the fall for a secret lab getting blown up in the middle of MCT office campus. So in a way he was made responsible for actions of some shadowrunners and now he's hiring (technically it's his mother organizing this but that's a detail) another ones. I think that can evoke some ambivalent emotions.
They are going to meet in secret soon to get some of his blood, pass the details of the plan, etc.
What are your thoughts on how to roleplay his attitude towards the characters and the whole thing?

P.S. He doesn't know that but, of course, it was our jolly bunch of psychos that have blown the lab up.

 

Sometimes I see an interesting question but since I prefer to watch "New" these are usually without any responses. I would like to be able to "watch" the post and get notified about new comments on it.

I know that there is the save button and when I list the saved posts it will show me if there are some new messages. But still a notification would be nicer.

Any way to have that currently?

 

Do donations paid in open collective for mastodon.world also pay for Lemmy.world? Or do you plan to set up a separate collective?
