  • After hexbear got defederated from most of the major instances, the fucking losers just make alts on different instances so they can continue defending that propaganda filled shithole. Now .ml seems like the new worst, no matter what you do these no-life losers will find a way to spread their bullshit.

    Takes much more effort to try and stop them than it does for these losers to make alts unfortunately.

  • It was a complete and total shock, I tell you.
  • As someone that lives in a small city where my morning commute is 15 minutes, and 20 on the way home, this is fucking insane to me. 70 minutes is 3/4 of the way to the next town at highway speeds.

    Edit: To add to that, I work four 10s rather than five 8s a week. If I had to drive that long every day for work, I'd only have about an hour and a half - 2 hours to relax before it's time for bed if I want 8 hours of sleep.

  • Lol getting downvoted just for sharing your opinion. It's not one of my favourite games but I do like it and am excited for Shattered Space and for bigger mods to come out. The bones of something decent are there, shame it wasn't more fleshed out before launch.

  • Ironic considering florida is a team of dirty rats, one of the dirtiest in the league. Fucking bullshit that the backwards shithole that is florida gets 5 cup final appearances and 3 cups in 5 years when most of the population can barely grasp cars going in a god damn circle, let alone hockey.

    Fuck florida and their dirty bullshit

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?
  • Black holes just blow my mind. Even in the future, how the hell will we ever be able to study and truly understand them? Unless we find a way to break the light speed barrier, I feel like they're going to remain as the one object we can never truly understand.

    Hmm I'll have to read about the quantum field theory, I haven't heard of that before.

    Thanks for the YouTube links, I can always use more space heavy channels in my life!

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?
  • Thanks!

    Edit: Finished reading the article, and it was great! Gonna be scrolling through that website tonight as my night reading before bed. Thanks again for the link!

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?
  • "Super Earth, our home....."

    Sorry, I get what you're talking about but my mind has been permanently tainted to think of Helldivers now whenever I see a mention of Super Earth's haha.

    But to be serious, I agree completely. Massive rocky planets are a fascinating topic, and the idea of a planet even more habitable for life than Earth is hard to even imagine but is a fascinating concept. I've also read about "evaporated" gas giants, where the star's stellar wind has blown away the thick atmosphere of a mini Neptune and left behind just the rocky core, which is thought to have a ton of water left.

    Such a shame I wasn't born in a future where we can casually explore space, that may never be a reality but I like to think it will be.

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?
  • Just read through the Wikipedia article on that star, that's insanely cool. I've never heard about this particular star before so that was a fun read.

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?
  • Imagine if we found even simple single celled life in the subsurface oceans that are theorised to exist beneath their surfaces. It'd be the single biggest discovery in the history of humanity IMO even if it's just bacteria.

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?
  • Magnetars are fucking cool as hell, I vividly remember getting a Scientific American magazine as a kid that was all about Magnetars. Such fascinating objects.

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?
  • Fascinating, any articles that a layman could understand? I love space but I have no formal education in it, all my knowledge comes from years of reading magazines, articles, and watching documentaries etc.

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?
  • I'll add Neutron stars on top of that, the dead core of a star living on to slowly cool for an unfathomable amount of time. Also, Red Dwarfs eventually becoming Blue Dwarfs as they age is cool af too.

  • What space object do you find the most interesting?

    Personally, I find Brown Dwarfs to be absolutely fascinating. An object that isn't quite a planet and isn't quite a star, but something in between.

    What would one even look like? Would it look like a gas giant that's glowing red, along with swirls of gas in its atmosphere like Jupiter? Or would it resemble a star and have a fiery surface like the sun? I prefer to imagine them as glowing gas giants but I don't know how realistic that is.

    Gas giants in general are fascinating to me as well, I really hope we send a probe into one of the gas giants with a camera before I die. I'd absolutely love to see what it looks like inside a gas giants atmosphere before the probe gets crushed by the increasing pressure as it descends.

    New to Linux - Some beginner questions about Bazzite
  • That's very useful information, I'll try that when I'm back at my pc. Thank you!

  • New to Linux - Some beginner questions about Bazzite
  • I'm kinda mixed on it so far, I feel like I should've gone with something like Endeavour OS or something similar. Using a more commonly used distro would simplify troubleshooting and provide a bigger user base to siphon information from. I don't have any problems with Bazzite but I'm kinda feeling like I'm missing out by not using something a bit more complex tbh.

    I've read about rpm-ostree and my impression is I'd rather not use it to install anything if I can avoid it, which also feeds into my desire to use a different distro.

    Bazzite comes pre-installed with distrobox and boxbuddy, I'll need to put more effort into learning how to use it. I've read up on the basics of it but I haven't yet put in the effort to fully understand that program.

    I'll check out that video, thank you for the link. I also wanted to say that you've been a massive help and I greatly appreciate all of your help that you've provided me! Thank you!

  • As CEOs chase infinite growth, Hidetaka Miyazaki says FromSoftware gets "better games and better decisions" from a "conservative forecast" with "room to fail"
  • I don't even like Fromsoft games outside of Armoured Core 6 and I think these guys are legends. More companies could learn a thing or two from Fromsoft and Wube(creators of Factorio, finding a bug is literally a meme in the community because Wube is so good about fixing every tiny, obscure bug) The 2 best companies in gaming right now IMO.

  • New to Linux - Some beginner questions about Bazzite

    Hey guys, so I installed Bazzite on my 2nd SSD last weekend and I've installed some games and searched through the OS to familiarize myself with it, but I still have a few questions about Bazzite and Linux in general that I'd like some help with! I've used Ubuntu and Linux mint in the past (2014ish) just to mess around with but never fully switched. I'm having no problems with gaming, all the games I've tested work fine and I have the latest Proton GE installed already.

    I consider myself to be quite computer-savvy and tech-savvy in general, but Linux is making me question just how good I am with computers 😅 But it's honestly a lot of fun to be new to an OS and having to learn things again, feels like being a kid again and exploring everything about my old Windows 98 pc. I'm still using Windows 11 on my primary drive, but the goal is to eventually get comfortable enough to completely switch away from Windows since I don't have any games that require it.

    My first question is, how do I install programs from outside the "discover store"? I can get the Plex app through the built in app store, but the Plex media server app isn't on there so I have to download it from the website, which gives me a .rpm file. I'm probably being dumb, but double clicking it just brings up an error message in the discover store saying it couldn't open the file.

    I think I'm supposed to use the boxbuddy app to install it? I'm not sure. I'm not scared of using the terminal if I have to, and I'd actually like to get more comfortable with that anyways. Switching to Jellyfin isn't an option because my mom and brother use Plex through an xbox so I'm sticking with Plex for now.

    Also, outside of the built in discover store, what's the best way to install programs? I know that Bazzite is built off of Fedora Atomic which is an "immuteable" distro so I can't directly install apps to the system without using rpm-ostree and that's apparently not recommended unless absolutely necessary according to what I've read.

    I have a Logitech G502x plus mouse but piper won't recognize it, solaar works fine though. I can still configure my mouse in Windows when needed but I'd like to be able to do it in Linux as well, any ideas why piper won't recognize my mouse? I also have a Razer blackwidow v3 and I'm not sure what software to use to configure it in Linux.

    Another small but annoying issue I'm having is with Firefox granting the RES (reddit enhancement suite) extension permissions, when I try to use it to expand a v.reddit link for example, it pops up a window asking me to "request permissions" but when I click that it simply brings me to this link without actually giving me the option to grant the permissions. On Windows I get a little popup near the extensions in the top right corner and I can simply grant the required permissions, but it's not doing that for me in Bazzite.

    What are some cool programs in general to check out? My main use case is gaming, I don't program or do any work on my PC but I'd like to explore just for the sake of exploring! Also, what's a good way to familiarize myself with using the terminal? I've used the terminal on Windows quite a bit in the past, but only for basic things like unlocking a bootloader on Android and sending a ROM to it, back when I cared enough to root my phones. How would I, for example, pull a program off of github and compile it myself if needed? There's a program on github called gHub GUI by ysph that I'd like to check out, would be nice to be able to configure my mouse since piper doesn't seem to recognize my mouse.

    What are some general best practices that differ from Windows? I don't really know how to narrow this question down, apologies for it being so vague.

    Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer me some advice!

    After 57 hours, I finally have everything for blue science in Bobs&Angels!

    So after struggling through 57 hours of Bobs&Angels for the first time, I've finally got everything I need to get blue science up and running. Base has been mostly idle for the last 15 hours while I slowly spaghetti'd my way up this point. I've been aiming for only 30 SPM so far cause I knew it'd be slow going since it's my first time playing the mod and that turned out to be very true. Must've spent a good 5 hours minimum between recipe book and factory planner so far!

    Next on the list once blue science is going is to start transitioning to a city block train base. My mall is nice and stocked up and once I have bots the process of phasing out the starter base will begin. Got some homemade block BPs that are 150x150 tiles big and with 1-2 or smaller trains my blocks can support up to 12 stations if I need it. I have space extension installed so I'm eventually going to need high SPM at the endgame which should be a fun challenge to build for.

    Really not looking forward to making modules, those things look like a giant pain in the ass to make but I'll have to get em going sooner rather than later. Any suggestions or tips for getting modules up?

    Having a ton of fun with the mod pack in general though, I've played K2 5 times, K2SE twice (burning out around 200 hours in on both tries) and this modpack is turning out to be awesome. My favorite parts of K2SE were the more complicated recipes you started running into once you got to space and started setting up mining outposts, but the complexity of Bobs&Angels has a much steeper learning curve to it. So far it's my favorite part of the mod, it's extremely satisfying to make progress in this mod IMO.
