Oh Joe...
  • You can get a successful new party but only if one of the two big ones completely self-destructs and creates a power vacuum. And even then the new party will probably be a faction of the defunct one. There definitely won't be a three-party constellation for more than a brief period.

  • Explaining software development methods by flying to Mars
  • PO: Someone else figure out how to repeat what he did.

    Second developer: Sorry, I tried to make sense of his rocket design but I can't figure out how to make a copy that doesn't explode before we even put the fuel in.

  • Thank you for the condolences, DM
  • Yes. This mainly happens when everyone has different expectations without realizing it. That's why is important to talk about these things in advance so you don't end up with a GM who thinks it's obvious that PCs can die at any time due any reason and a player who thinks it's obvious that they won't.

  • Thank you for the condolences, DM
  • Eh, it all depends on what the players and GM want. If everyone's okay with death lurking behind every corner then that's cool. If everyone agrees that death only happens in special preplanned scenes that's also cool. There's only a problem if expectations mismatch.

  • 100 upvotes and I'm doing this tattoo design
  • If you want a snake and a pie chart, at least have the snake do something with it like carrying the chart in its mouth.

    Perhaps you can do the biblical scene of the snake tempting Adam and Eve but this time it's the snake tempting managers with a useless pie chart.

  • [OC] Venus in Blue 1
  • sees picture

    That model looks strangely familiar.

    sees title

    In fact, so does the topic.

    sees who posted it

    Oh yeah, that's why. I helped with this series. (Or did you do two similar ones?) Cool to hear it's going to be exhibited.

  • "Do you know how many spells are just recycled incantations?"
  • Still better than the spell that needs to be cast at local noon. They synchronized those by having each monastery create and then destroy an invisible copy of the sun whenever they cast it. You don't want to know how expensive to maintain that is.

  • EA studios 'hunger' to start using generative AI 'as quickly as possible,' says CEO
  • Besides, LLMs struggle with retaining contextual information for long and they're pretty dang resource hungry. Expect a game with LLM-driven dialogue to reserve several gigs of VRAM and a fair chunk of GPU processing power solely for that.

    And then you still get characters who hallucinate plot points or suddenly speak gibberish.

  • KDE Plasma needs stability
  • Mind you, the real winner is of course Android. It has a consistent, easy to learn interface and a wide range of applications that integrate nicely.

    And we don't need to speculate; it has already won and is the true face of Linux for the masses. Plenty of young people don't even own traditional computers anymore and do everything on their smartphone or tablets.

    And that's why this entire discussion is really just a form of fan wank; we don't need to find a unified UI for Linux because it has already been found and has a massive market share. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

    Everything else can be as complicated, janky, or exotic as it wants because it doesn't matter.

  • KDE Plasma needs stability
  • Honestly, if you want one simple DE for everyone it should probably be XFCE. Dead simple to use, feels vaguely familiar to Windows users, not overly complicated.

    KDE is heavily customizable, Gnome is very opinionated, and tiling WMs don't adhere to orthodox UI patterns. Those are all suboptimal if you want something usable by the absolute widest range of users.

  • So what's changed Microsoft?
  • Given that I literally said I personally encountered this problem: Yes, it does. It's mostly just an annoyance that goes straight onto the "Windows Update jank" pile but I have wasted quite a bit of time helping people deal with connectivity issues that could down to "tinc_vpn" getting automatically renamed to "Network Connection 7".

  • So what's changed Microsoft?
  • Tinc gets broken by Windows updates every once in a while. The problem is that the update sometimes renames the network connections and Tinc needs the connection to have a specific name to work.

    That's the one I personally ran into several times now.
