They want to privatize the post office but make TikTok government owned… JFC…

Uh, a bidet?

There’s a reason an insane number of the people who publicly attack pedophillia are in fact pedophiles.

More of an altitude issue tbh

Unprofessional human drivers (yes, even you) are unbelievably bad at driving, it’s only a matter of time, but call me when you can do it without just moving labor done by decently paid locals to labor done remotely in the third world.

I fixed this ages ago, I am pointing out that it’s unacceptable from a UX standpoint. And it was in the last year for the record, this definitely wasn’t just a fully solved issue years ago.

Which is great for the people who have the time to invest to know how to use a computer via the terminal, I used to be one of those people, now I have had various full time jobs that don’t use computers for nearly a decade since then though and I don’t want to do much with terminal anymore (it took me like 10 minutes to remember ‘top’) It’s hard to take a polished, user friendly OS seriously when I couldn’t access the NTFS windows backup partition on my laptop without using terminal, because they needed elevated permissions to see because they were, naturallly, created by another user. I legitimately couldn’t just open the file manager as root to copy and paste my files into the new root partition without thinking about it. Ridiculous hand holding clunkiness.

You’ve given me instructions that require terminal use, your argument is invalid. If it doesn’t either work out of the box or is immediately fixable without going into the terminal, then it’s not ready yet.

Honestly, not being able to run Dolphin as root made me feel like my PC wasn’t mine more than anything windows did up until recently.

Your computer is yours… As long as you’re comfortable doing it via terminal… Yay…

I was going to make a joke but honestly it’s refreshing and a good sign that Lemmy is starting to get used by people who don’t know what FOSS means now. Welcome.

I mean, I guess I’m open if it is trying to do something controversial in actually adapting the book faithfully? Which I’m not sure would go over well or that I would like at all but at least would be making something new and relavent and dialogue provoking? The original was a pro-military pro-discipline novel written in anger at the suspending of US nuclear testing. Heinlein was frustrated at basically hippies that he saw as not really participating or taking responsibility for the country as a whole calling the shots and pulling back the US military development in the cold war. Agree or disagree and adaptation criticizing the current culture of western withdrawal from Afghanistan, the milquetoast supporting of Ukraine or other connecting issues could be a very interesting and relavent piece of modern political commentary. Again, agree or disagree with the stance, at least it’s making a movie that is worth making because it will make people think and talk about different perspectives. Just don’t fucking make a cash grab or an actual remake of the Verhoeven film (because it’s already perfect, it doesn’t need to be remade)

I mean, it’s not like it’s any different in a lot of Canada, the polarization has gotten pretty unreal everywhere. Alaska has a lot more in common with the Yukon and Northwest Territories too than they do with southern red states.

No, stop, let us have single player games, with 100-10000 players in an MMORPG you are suddenly diluted and weak, your ability to influence the world and be heroic and become powerful is suddenly dependent on competing for time investment and skill with 100s to 1000s of other people. THATS WHAT I ALREADY DO IN REAL LIFE. If I want to feel mid and not very powerful without putting in a ton of extra work, I’ll go outside. Especially when doing that extra work would actually allow me to spend EVEN LESS TIME on myself in the real world.

TLDR: there are enough MMOs, there are DEFINITELY enough competitive multiplayer games (also PVM/P survival building games) I do not understand people’s obsessions with saying the very small number of great single player games we have ought to be MMOs. Go play ESO or whatever it is you guys like playing.

Less flash, more passionate people allowed to create. Shocker.

I’m not going to transcribe the article for you dude.

You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.

Wait isn’t that basically how it works in Stardew Valley too?

Presumably superconductors are a given at that level of technology. But also at megastructure scale, we could easily talk about very exotic energy transfer methods. Mirrors, microwave transmission antennas, kilometer wide conduits of highly conductive “ground” material, large scale production of fusion fuel, maybe usable power from heat difference is such an efficient process at any scale that the sphere just has a hot side on the inside (towards the sun) and a cold side on the outside (towards cosmic background) and anyone who needs power just patches in a heat pipe to the inside surface.

Actually there’s a lot there on that last one. Large efficient power plants could be built anywhere where people needed them hooked with big heat pumps into the inner surface and outer radiator surface, smaller applications could just hook into the inner surface and radiate heat passively and let the climate control deal with it. Rogue energy thieves could be tracked down by scanning for unregistered cold spots on the inner surface.

Oh yeah, it’s the community thinking about switching frustrated by the Linux culture that are unfriendly, not the Linux community itself being incredibly unwelcoming to anyone who doesn’t “get it.”
