  It was one of the reasons I switched. That and my favorite mod manager is working on a Linux native version. It’s not done yet, but it’s good to play other games from time to time.

  Valheim is pretty brutal, but also highly moddable.

  Well, security through obscurity never really did work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Another distro that’s easy to get going for gaming is Garuda.

  Also, the easiest way to switch to any distro is to get a USB drive and install a program called Ventoy. Then you throw your install iso onto the Ventoy drive, boot from USB, and you’re good to go.

  As a tip, pick up an external drive large enough for your Steam library. Then in Steam, you right click on each game and select Manage/Back up game files.

  Doing it this way will save you days of downloading.

  XP might actually be somewhat safe to connect by now. Most of the viruses and worms have updated past it by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so cooked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the panicking should be wild bees. They’re dying at accelerated rates.

  We also know why, commercial bee keeping is part of it, as is hobbies bee keeping.

  And pesticides… and monoculture farming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m counting game installations. Then there’s the fact that NoScript seems to reset every time I swap operating systems, so now I have to figure out what I’ve allowed and blocked before…

  Then there’s the pruning of random shit that was auto installed. Some of that shit can take days to find.

  But most of the pain is when I try to do X, and need to find a program that will do it. This happens in Windows and Linux, and either will have programs that work, but then I have to find the program and learn it, and then let enough time pass where I have to do it all over again.

  The most recent example was a map making program for my Table Top RPG obsession. One program that’s a go-to under Windows (with possible Linux capability?) is called AutoRealm. Which hasn’t updated since 2013… But it’s still one of the most powerful fractal mapping programs I’ve ever lightly used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve swapped back and forth between Linux and Windows a half dozen times now, and I can honestly say, both are a bitch to set up from a clean install.

  Even with guides and autoloading scripts and whatnot, it’s still going to be a few days of pain while you try to figure out what else needs to be installed to use the computer the way you want to use it.

  Or that’s how it works for me.

  I mostly just wish more games were linux native.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israel publicly announces genocidal intent⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hamas was always a “tame” terrorist force.

  Or put another way, the only reason why Hamas existed in the first place is because Israel picked them specifically to be the face of Palestinian resistance in Gaza, and constantly paid them millions to keep them in power, while at the same time, brutally crushed any other groups who might have pushed for Palestinian rights.

  There were a bunch of news articles shortly after Oct 7th talking about how Netanyahu’s “cash to Hamas” bribery for peace deal had blown up in his face, and no. It did not.

  This has been the plan for decades. All Israel needed was an excuse and a somewhat friendly president who could ignore the US’ previous policy of paying lip service to a two-state solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, every Air Force base had higher than average Reddit usage back in the day. It was one of the few websites not blocked by default. I don’t know when that changed, Because I was out before then.

  But yes, there are also the propaganda teams.

  Eisenhower, like Biden, actually helped create the problem.

  Biden could have, and should have, gone hard against Trump and his fellow insurrectionists.

  Instead he chose to appoint Merrick Garland, a man whose legacy was turning a blind eye to Timothy McVeigh’s accomplices in the wider Militia Movement.

  Yeah. No one cares if you’re rambling in a comment. Just be interesting enough that someone can pause their doom scrolling to read it.

  I personally have about 5 subjects where I can chime in with fun (to me) little facts.

  Or essays on the subject…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TURKEY POWER⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure where they got those numbers.

  All nuclear waste produced to date isn’t 500-1500 cubic meters.

  As to storage. Just bury it again. We dug it up, we can bury it. There are a few places that are currently doing just that.

  Or, here a wild idea. Just burn the waste. It’s something like 90% unburned fuel, just reprocess it and burn it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But yes.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except, even then, an average coal plant will release more radioactive material over its lifetime than Fukushima did.

  It’s just Chernobyl that you have to top. And even then there are coal plants that come close.

  Now, it’s not apples to apples. Coal plants release uranium and thorium. Not ceasium and strontium.

  But yeah, never go swimming in a coal plant ash pit. For more than the obvious reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But yes.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding more radiation to tobacco. Sure.

  But slightly serious here. The actual mechanism of about 75% of tobacco related cancer, is the fact that tobacco leaves bioaccumulate natural radioactive elements from the soil.

  If you smoke, you have radioactive lead and polonium in your lungs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But yes.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Molten salt?

  We can then use compressed CO2 in the place of steam to drive the turbine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The definition is that Tesla is shit.

  They’re selling a spotty lane assist as Self Driving when it is not.

  Other companies are selling actual self-driving cars, (even if those companies are fucking up as well) but Tesla is nowhere near that level of autonomy. All because Musk cheaped out on the sensor package.

  Teslas will never be self-driving, because they literally cannot detect the road and obstacles with just their little camera setup.

  They should not be allowed to call it self-driving, or autopilot, or anything else that implies that you can take your hands off the steering wheel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but you need to supervise it because you are both responsible and because it’s not perfect

  Not self-driving then. Words have meanings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then it’s not “Full self driving”. It’s at best lane assistance, but I wouldn’t trust that either.

  Elon needs to shut the fuck up about self driving and maybe issue a full recall, because he’s going to get people killed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The grand prize⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A tungsten cube that size would weigh a fuckload.

  To just deliver it would be an undertaking. There will be roads between you and the where ever this came from that are not rated for that weight.

  You may need a specialized truck just to move it, and a crane to get it on and off said truck…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Large Boeing Satellite Suddenly Explodes Into Pieces⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The actual answer is at vaporization temperature. Which the satellite did not reach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Temperatures⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact, -40C and -40F are the same temperature.

  Then 575K and 575F are the same.
