Almost any is fine, but if you want a distro optimized for gaming, Garuda has been treating me quite well.

Turns out that anti-cracking tech is widely applicable, if a bit expensive.

Mark Rober already did that.

Is the leader alive or not? Alive is likely a cult, dead is usually religion.

The next question is how isolated from friends and family or society at large are the members. More isolated is more likely to be a cult.

Other than that, there’s not much difference.

The usual setup is a cult is formed and then the second or third leader opens things up a bit and transitions it into just another religion… But sometimes a cult can be born from a religion as a small group breaks off to follow a charismatic leader.

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.

And the second they get it, they reinvent IP law, but in an even more restricted form.

Well, security through obscurity never really did work

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.

Yes, imagine if the coup attempt was real.

As a hint. It wasn’t. Especially not the helicopter ride. That part was so staged it’s comical.

Except that the coup was very real. Turned a democracy into a dictatorship with one scripted helicopter ride.

More than one test failed.

The Tesla failed the heavy rain and the heavy fog tests.

There’s zero excuse to fail either of those tests. But the Tesla killed the kid both times.

The wall test was just to show that the Tesla cannot put together optical clues.

The other two tests that the Tesla failed were more realistic. Heavy fog and heavy rain.

It failed both.

If your self driving car cannot handle weather, then it’s not self driving at all.

Actual lidar isn’t fooled by weather. Shitty optical only cameras are.

That hinges entirely on whomever holds the loan.

If it was one person, then no way. But it’s not just 1 person, it’s more than 100.

There are investment groups in that list, and ties to the Saudis and Russians.

The investment groups might be legally required to margin call if the stock price falls too far, but none of them will hold the full loan.

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.

Arch as a first distro is an interesting choice.

But likely fr better than my first distro, Slackware.

I had known about the Church of the Subgenius and then heard that there was a Linux distro based on that…

At the time, the wikis were not really up to the task…

These days I run Mint on my writing laptop, and unfortunately am back to Windows on my gaming rig.

But might swap back to Gaurda for gaming…

Hardness isn’t the best thing to have in armor. In fact, extreme hardness means extreme brittleness.

Tensile strength is more desirable in armor. That’s the sort of strength that a string or rope, or Kevlar will have.

Those can stretch a bit before breaking.

Kevlar will stretch a bit when catching a bullet, this does a few things, but importantly it slows the bullet before stopping it.

So this new material will likely show extreme tensile strength rather than hardness.

Notch was primed for that shit long before Minecraft took off. He posted early builds to 4chan, and was an active shitposter there.

The money just made him stop paying attention to anything else.

Yup, first and foremost, figure out your gameplay loops.

Get that right and you can pretty it all up later.

Steam isn’t a publicly traded company. Which means they can focus on customers and not investors.

Is blue sky federated? I thought it was another closed garden. If slightly more open than Twitter.
