Runaway as well, but without the mall.

They have a series on Gates too.

The answer to OPs question is that these people they admired were just as bad, just better at PR. Unless you think that social media has had some kind of positive effect in outing these newer bastards. Being young and naive may also have been a factor (which I can personally attest to since I was a fan of MS back in the 90s before I learned about them).

Dual booted for the longest time, until sometime last year. Windows partition is still there, but it's been long enough that I've forgotten the password. 😳

Weird, the link works for me. :/

Oh, I've certainly thought of alternate time-lines. Aspiring writer here. Trying to turn one of them into a novel (well, novel series lol), but you know, ADHD. So I could certainly talk at length about that.

Thanks. I've tried getting help. What few have accepted never seemed to have the time, or else they had too much trouble with the wiki paradigm? Idk. It's been a struggle. Which is too bad since I tend to work better (i.e. more often) when others are involved.

Audhd here, so way too many interests to list (short list here: https://social.vivaldi.net/@Murdoc). But my biggest long-standing one is called Technocracy. Not how the word gets used most of the time today, but rather the proposed sustainable and post-scarcity economic system devised in the 1920s. Not only is it just interesting from being a novel and well-designed system, but it deals with so many important issues like poverty, environmentalism, sexism, racism, crime, and all in an objective, hard scientific way (i.e. not "political science"). All that science and progressivism (from 100 years ago too!) just delights my autistic brain no end. Here's my attempt to make the topic more accessible to the modern audience: https://technate.org/tiki-index.php

Wait, so I have to make sure that I log in at least once every phase/tier and kill x monsters in order to complete the optional mission? I can't find any information on this and the game itself is not clear.

Ah yes, the ol' "promoted to the level of their incompetence". SOP. Or SNAFU, take your pick.

That's amusing, jenga on the moon.

I'm sure that he can perceive the depth that the shaft of that valve is drilling into his eye socket when you turn it. That should count for something.

It's a topsy-turvy world.

Has anyone else had this problem? I updated my openSuse Tumbleweed today (restart required), and now none of my games work. Most are through Steam, so at first I thought it was that. But I have Cyberpunk through GOG launched with Heroic. And even more, Alien Arena has the same problem, so it's not even a proton issue (I did try changing proton versions before the other games too).

What happens is that either they freeze entirely, crash to desktop (after a short time), or freeze then crash. It seems like the bigger the game, the more quickly it crashes, which makes me think memory issue. This seemed moreso since ARK didn't even get to the launch menu screen, just played some music while my desktop froze, and I could see my memory widget maxed out. Then the music fizzled and then CTD.

I've never run into a problem like this and have no idea where even to look.

Edit: Another update today and now half of my games work. Even weirder.

Edit: Solved: Was a bug in kernel 6.8.9. Rebooted into 6.8.8 and all is well. Guess We'll see how the next one goes.

 

Ok, so I had 1 ssd with Kubuntu and windows on it. I got a second ssd and I want to put opensuse on it, dual booting (well, triple). The problem is, when I went to install it, it showed the id of my two ssds as opposite of what the partition manager in Kubuntu says. I.e., Kubuntu calls the first one nvme0n1 and my new ssd nvme1n1, while the opensuse installer is calling the old ssd nvme1n1 and the new one nvme0n1. I know because it shows the existing partition sizes on them that way, and recognizes that windows and kubuntu are on the old ssd.

So is this normal? Is this ok? Is it ok to just install it with the ssd names this way? Would that confuse kubuntu at all, or are the two OSes ok with calling them different things? I just don't want the installer to overwrite anything on my existing partitions.

Briefly: I'm running Kubuntu right now, just installed a second ssd. If I install another distro (say opensuse) on it, can I tell it to use the same /home that kubuntu is using (which is on a separate partition and drive)? Actually looking to switch distros, but I want to keep all my data where it is on the bigger hdd, while moving games to the ssd.

If you want/need more details:

  • ssd1: windows, kubuntu /
  • hdd1: kubuntu (opensuse) /home
  • ssd2: (goal) opensuse /, second partition for games
 

So to start, I know pretty little about 3d printing, which is why I came here. I have seen the machines work, know that you need a file, there's different materials, not much else. I'm not really looking to get into this as a hobby as I don't really have the time, and certainly don't have the money (maybe later if things change). I just have this one thing (at the moment anyway) that I would like printed, but I have a couple of questions to see if I even want to proceed or not. I just plan on getting some local company to make it for me.

So here is what I'd like to make: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/elegant-lightsaber-hilt-19b183269b5d4577a44f3152b15df9a5

It comes in an obj file which unless I'm mistaken should be enough for me to have. If not, I know about online file converters to make it slt.

This is intended to be a hand-held prop, not just a display model. So my first question is, is that even feasible? I don't know how strong things like this are. I'm not going to be hitting anything with it, but a little bit of waving around I think would be in order.

Assuming that's ok, what material should I use? Not entirely sure I even get a choice but I think so?

Another question I have is about painting. I've seen painting guides online, but one question I have I didn't find an answer to is again, about it being hand-held. I don't want to use a paint that will come off or smudge with sweaty palms. Are any kinds better for that than others? Are any?

And how close could I likely make it look like in the link? It doesn't have to be exact, but there's metallic parts, glassy parts, kinda gives a glowy impression... or is this going to be too hard for someone with no experience? (I've painted a couple of model kits when I was a kid.)

I realize that this may not all be feasible, but I thought I'd ask here first before asking people who will want my money. :p
