I’m running mine in Alpine.

Google search has sucked for a couple years now. DuckDuckGo is better for everything except maps.

Finally they get the title right!

Not everything you see in a paper is automatically science, and not every person involved is a scientist.

That picture is a diagram, not science. It was made by a writer, specifically a columnist for Medium.com, not a scientist. It was cited by a professor who, by looking at his bio, was probably not a scientist. You would know this if you followed the citation trail of the article you posted.

You’re citing an image from a pop culture blog and are calling it science, which suggests you don’t actually know what you’re posting, you just found some diagram that you thought looked good despite some pretty glaring flaws and are repeatedly posting it as if it’s gospel.

What is this nonsense Euler diagram? Emotion can intersect with consciousness, but emotion is also a subset of consciousness but emotion also never contains emotion? Intelligence does overlap at all with sentience, sapience, or emotion? Intelligence isn’t related at all to thought, knowledge, or judgement?

Did AI generate this?

So prior to Win 7 or so, Ctrl+Alt+Del brought up the task manager. Now it brings up a lock screen from which you can select additional options.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc pulls up the task manager, like it did back when you learned it.

Why not Ctrl+Shift+Esc?

I’m on 12, and will be upgrading to 13 when Trixie hits stable.

While at one point GTA was my favorite series and I was absolutely hyped for GTA V, I’m not for this one. I kind of feel like I’m getting a little old for GTA.

Maybe I’ll change my mind after it releases and there’s a good chance I’ll play it anyway, but right now… meh.

Really only Once Upon a Time in Hollywood comes to mind, but it’s not Scarface level popular.

Saw X. A lot of people say it’s their favorite after the original, but I’m not sure I agree. The opening trap that made the poster being a dream sequence felt off, and the final act (where Saw films are usually strongest) felt underwhelming. Also, Amanda was quite visibly older despite this being a prequel to a 20 year old movie, which I found distracting.

It’s still a good 7/10 for having some of the more brutal and memorable traps in the series.

Shit, I can’t get Windows to print on my network printer. Have to uninstall it, reinstall it, manually set the IP, restart Windows, and then it’ll work for like one session and then not work again. Windows won’t even throw an error, it’ll just tell me it printed while my printer sits silent.

On linux it works every time. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even try to print in Windows anymore, I just forward all documents to my laptop and print in linux.

All of Nolan’s Batman movies were heavily pro-cop. Watch TDK again: the day is saved by illegal surveillance, and Batman faces no consequences for using it.

Assassins Creed

For the uninitiated, this is based on a game series with the premise of people in the modern day using a simulation to relive the memories of their ancestors. And in every day, the modern day is the frame story that sucks and the real, cool story is the simulation.

So of course they made the crappy frame story like 90% of the movie and it sucked. Obviously it’s hard to capture the entire feel of a game on film, but what they could have done is had the entire movie in the past and actually focused on telling a good story, and then revealed it was a simulation right before the credits. Heck, they could have just stolen the ending from Assassins Creed 2 and then cut to modern day Callum with a setup for a sequel.

Instead we got an entirely forgettable film.

Should they go back to adapting books, plays, short stories, poems, tv shows, board games, tabletop games, songs, toy lines, children’s games, other movies, or an older version of the same movie instead?

Tale of Two Wastelands for Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

One day later:

First, no one cares about the MCU at this point, let alone the B-grade youth squad.

Second, this looks like AI generated nonsense with a few human edits.

Third, the superior Kate is obviously Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.

Yes. That’s not shocking for a 7 year old film series.

A Quiet Place: Day One. Actually really good: big step up from the second movie.
