That’s a bad analogy.

Mine does. Some games are non stop booked. Others, mostly the sports games titles, are always available on the shelves.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 6 days ago:
Wait… wait… So your average Facebook mom who has a laptop lying around that they use to watch their series in the evening, but will have to chuck it due to EOL of win10 and no win11 support, will not be able to adopt mint after she has someone install it for her, because you couldn’t get a hyperypecific app to run on it? (Steam is hyperypecific in the grand scheme of things).
What a hyperbole.

I’ve fixed it by axing my bitlocker encrypted partition that contained my Pro version OS and just installed arch.

B42 is sadly going in the wrong direction currently. It’s addressing a lot of early and mid game stuff that allows you to basically just fuck off into the woods. But end game is still dull.

There’s always been one. It’s not a completely integrated experience though.

Bikes have a limited lifespan in the sense that tires wear and degrade over time. Other parts can be replaced, repaired, welded. But tires will degrade within 2-5 years even when unused, depending on exposure to the elements.
Still much better than gasoline’s fast degradation of 3-6 months of course.

PZ is set in 1993 though. And for some reason their 1993 does not have bicycles.

Apple is not that strong in the overlaying ads over everything department though.
- Comment on Researchers Tattooed Tardigrades. They Promise It Will Be Useful 1 week ago:
They can, but they are not coming out alive.
Meaning they will have to outlive CECOT.
- Comment on More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says 1 week ago:
Can you elaborate on this? Just In Time delivery? Is this a US thing?
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 week ago:
They should probably fear the Spanish first. Or the French. Or the Portuguese. Depending on area.
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 2 weeks ago:
I think Valve and Arch are working on that with their collab on the secure signing enclave.

Never heard of this before. They may recommend it, but not require.

Are you saying that USA will find itself in Germany again?

80 degrees what?
See, this is where the problems begin.

Connection reset by peer.

Increased file attachment sizes (10->50->100MB depending on tier, I think).
Cross post emojis from any server you are on.
Cross post stickers from any server you are on.
Higher maximum server count.
One free server boost.
Probably a couple more vanity shit. Yep, entirely laughable business model.

- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 3 weeks ago:
I’m using Kate now, but from my experience NPP has a lot more features built in for which I actually have to write some scripts to use with Kate. NPP has really strong encoding encoding and schema manipulation features and a robust plugin system.
If NPP had a native linux build, I’d go back to it in a heartbeat.

If the 2-in-1 is holding you back, it worked for me with Linux Mint, touch and gyro rotation included. Touch works out of the box.
It did require me setting up iio-sensor-proxy with xrandr for the gyro sensor so it adjusts the screen when spinning the laptop around in tablet mode though. But the guide was pretty straight forward.

- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
one of the problems with nuclear always ends up being transporting the energy (usually quite far away) once you’ve generated it
I don’t get this part. How is this any different from transporting power from hydro? Quebec transports hydro power from all the way north at the bay to the south and then even sells it to USA.
