If you wanna hard link a directory btw, use cp -lR <src-dir> <dest-dir> to do it. You can’t actually hard link the directory itself, only its contents, so this command will create the directory structure and hard link the files within them.

I think it’s still against the etiquette of torrenting as well. If you only download a few episodes from a season pack then partial seeding is fine, but leaving a game unplayable if you’re the only seed is wrong in my opinion.

That said, in terms of solutions OP, if you’re conscious of disk space:

1. You could hard link the files that don’t change to a new folder, then copy the ones that do change. Don’t need to change filesystems like the other person’s solution. Soft link will also work but then when you wanna delete the torrent files you’ll have to go manually copy the rest over to your install folder.
2. You could always try “force recheck” in the torrent application once you finish playing. It’s likely that whatever changes are happening to those files only occurs while the game is open, potentially even just locking them to read-only, and the torrent application won’t really recheck them once that happens without manual intervention.

I think it’s a lot of things honestly. For example, it’s not surprising that education continues to be attacked so much in the US, as it reduces the prevalence of right wing opinions based off all polling. I think it’s a big cause of the shift to the right among Gen Z, and I think the only thing that’s going to fix it critical media literacy, which it might be too late for a bunch of that generation, and even some of Gen Alpha.

What I will say is that over the last ~15yrs, globally, we’ve seen a hard shift towards the right wing of politics. But a lot of that has happened on the internet in specific spaces where folks have been radicalised, and if you get into niche enough communities then you just don’t see it really at all.

YouTube no longer allows any reference to gambling sites or applications “not certified by Google.”

It’s literally on the Play Store, rated at M.

So is HDMI? Smaller connectors aren’t always better, and it’s not like it’s SCART size or something.

I think they were maybe speaking to the peer-to-peer “hosting” part of peertube. If not enough people are contributing to bandwidth, then more falls back to the server, increasing the cost to run it.

What are you trying to say with this?

So, by that metric, the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go and ROG Ally are laptops I guess.

Does Baldur’s Gate III count as a “modern 3D game” to you? Because that runs at perfectly acceptable frame rates on my Lenovo Legion Go, whose Z1 Extreme is definitely less powerful than this.

You: *wanders into a linux comm*
You: Some of you are insufferable.

Also you: *calls someone a dickhole*

Then why are you here in a linux comm? It feels like you just want to be contrarian…

Yeah, genuinely one of my favourite original sci-fi movies I’ve watched in the last decade. I did a linguistics course in high school so just really loved that side of it. It also really felt like they did a great job building the tension and making it feel like there were high stakes to her work.

Bingo. And if you don’t use apps with ads, like only using jellyfin, you get none at all.

I genuinely believe that if he was still around he’d of ended up a proponent for federated social media. I’m pretty sure he was the driving force behind opening it’s source, and it wasn’t until four years after his death that it was closed off again.

I’ll +1 their comment that it’s super newbie friendly, it’s the distro that finally got me to switch fulltime from Windows. It works well with NVIDIA, and you have the choice between KDE Plasma or GNOME when you download it :)

Why not use the “Install a Windows game from an executable” option in that same + menu?

Side note though, this would make games downloaded from SteamRIP easier to install under lutris for me, as they aren’t installers, and I’ve been using bottles to generate the prefix for me.

Ah yep, found an article about it, it’s indeed disappointing behaviour on their part.

I still won’t support the pi foundation though.

Can I ask why? (/gen)

…I meant the keep watching thing. I get that a lot if I skip to the next episode right at the outro of a show.
