The more I think about it, the less sense this graphic has
- 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 - 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've heard that too. But I don't really have an opinion on other authors, I'm more often exploring the lore for a run instead of reading Sixth World fiction, unfortunately
I don't want to spoil, so won't say much about the plot etc. To me it was a good read. Well written, I went from 16% to 100% in one day. The mystery was delivered nicely, well paced and interesting idea. And I liked the exploration of corp environment at high positions. I think it's not done often at this POV
A minority Ubisoft investor (...) noting that Ubisoft's share price has fallen by over 40% since last year. Accordingly, Krupa wants the board to "take Ubisoft private or allow it to sell to strategic investor"
Looks to me as if someone wanted a fast lever and with that failing now they'd like to sell ASAP
EDIT:
AJ Investments appear to be new kids on the block as Ubisoft minority shareholders. According to Krupa, "we started our Ubisoft position couple weeks ago and are still adding to it". They do, however, boast of their "extensive knowledge about the gaming industry" after being a "long-term shareholder in Activision Blizzard".
"We cannot understand the decision-making process of current management
U-huh
Terra Mortis is a Cyberpunk Post-Apocalyptic Tabletop Roleplaying game set in the shattered remains of a cyberpunk world. The campaign includes Hardcover Book, Battlemap Book, GM Screen, Miniature Sets and more!
I guess it might interest someone and haven't seen it mentioned
Year Zero Engine post-apo. Mutants, cyborgs and wasteland
I'm not involved, just got an email about it
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
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
manis 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?
The understanding I got from school was that gravity might be some kind of force and basically one mass attracts other mass, like electric potentials do
Keep in mind, that was 20 years ago. Our understanding might have changed and tbh I wouldn't expect a high school physics teacher to be on the bleeding edge of research in all physics fields
True. But that correction still doesn't unbend my mind
Then, I think, go into Steam, open the page of the game in library and in the options somewhere on the right, just below the image (?), try to disable something like Steam controller input for this game
uhm. Ok, let's get back one step. What is Steam shortcut?
It works when I launch through Lutris, but yea - using the Steam shortcut it doesn’t work
Does "steam shortcut" mean that you are running lutris from steam? In such case maybe it's the other way round than what I proposed earlier - steam controller thingy grabs the controller and because of that it doesn't go straight to the game?
Oh! Now I know what this is. It's not "mail voting is bad, let's not mail vote". It's "let's use X to vote"
Plot twist (just for fun, I'm not trying to protect him): he actually wasn't. The votes were fake and whoever were faking them dropped the ball by using info of someone recognizable
Hindu women have always worshiped big circumcised muslim dicks, this community is a place for posting photos and videos about muslim men dominating hindu sluts.
Honest question about the acceptance lines, not trying to trigger a response
Personally, I feel this is misogynistic and derogatory. But maybe I'm the one out of line
Btw, is there some other way to flag a whole community to the mods?
I'm always on the lookout for run inspirations. But many Shadowrun missions were hit or miss
Has anyone looked at it? How streamlined it really is? Is this overhaul cohesive?
Alien RPG Starter Set has a discount currently. I think I've heard somewhere that it's doing some things well but I don't remember what & where. And I very rarely can get answers to my questions from description or reviews. Does anyone have experience with it?
- How the system works? (d20/d6 pool/special dice/similar to X/etc)
- Rather crunchy or narrative?
- Are there some system elements that play into the feel of the setting?

The first commercial chip based on the OpenTitan hardware security design has hit the market
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
