Meh, being able to build your own ship like Skyrim and kerbal space progran had a baby sounds like it makes up for that but I haven't played the game so idk. Most space games are either a massive ripoff (think Star Citizen) or a major grindfest (Elite Dangerous) so it's good to see someone try to make a space game that isn't like that.

No Man's Sky and Stationeers are almost similar games that are good but in those games the space ship game mechanics and functionality just aren't there.

The new stuff just doesn't taste the same.

Before you know it, it will be almost impossible to browse the internet normally without getting a visit from the feds for some bs reason. Guess we'll all be using the dark net for everything.

Probably not. I think the timeouts are set up differently or something. Back in the day even if you had 1.2kb/s dial up internet, you could reliably load webpages and all their css if you were patient. Nowadays, if your internet speed dips by even a little bit, everything stops working and being patient about it only results in error screens.

In America you can sneak a candy bar into a movie threater by putting it in the magazine slot of your pistol. This gets you out of paying $20 for a snickers bar.

But then at least by the time they get it working, they'll have enough practice to make a new llm to convert their Java code to a useful programming language.

Java is definitely a programming language but good luck actually getting it to compile on anyone else's machine besides the person who wrote the project.

I'd rather be gay than be able to smell my ass every time I sit down

I know someone like that. He's always drinking. And always drunk. He says he'd rather kill himself than drink less. Has a fancy government that drug tests him every 5 minutes just about. He makes a lot of money though. No idea how this is even sustainable. Guess they don't give a shit as long as you don't smoke weed.

The US government: let's enable the economy to get to the point where it's basically impossible for young people to even participate in society.

Also the US government: damn, why do people keep going on suicidal mass shootings? If only there was anything we could do about it.

Hi spez

I worked there. The problem is that they do clean their nozzles and machines and tanks but what they don't clean are the actual lines running the soda syrup from the storage tanks to the fountain. There's just no viable way to do it. Sure, you can run sanitizer and soap through it but that doesn't scrub off the black mold and it's not exactly financially feasible to rip out all the piping from the walls and ceiling and replace it every 2 weeks.

I'm not honestly sure what a solution would be other than not using soda fountains.

More juicy nerd drama. Lemme grab my popcorn.

Gigabyte apparently. They have drivers on their website. Windows 11 just wanted to be extremely picky about the storage device I used. There was probably a cd with drivers in the motherboard box but who tf has a cd drive these days? Just formatting ntfs on any flash drive is apparently not good enough. Also, no matter which version of the drivers I used, unchecking "hide incompatible drivers" was the only way to make anything ever show up. I'm 100% sure I was using the correct ones for the exact motherboard model and revision number.

It worked fine on Arch. I finally found a flash drive and filesystem combination that the windows installer would both see and install when I put the manufacturer's Windows 11 64 bit ahci drivers on. It was a scandisk usb 3.0 mini thumb drive and ntfs in case anyone was wondering. I have 7 other usb flash drives at my disposal, most of them I could see but not install the drivers and I tried ntfs, exfat and fat32 before giving up on each flash drive.

No, its a b650 motherboard and the windows installer didn't even have the right nvme ahci drivers for it. I tried about 8 different flash drives and fat32,exfat and ntfs until I found one that the windows installer would actually install the drivers with.

Try doing it on a b650 motherboard that's so new the windows installer doesn't even have the correct ahci drivers

Maybe devs will stop targeting Windows and Mac and instead target Windows and Linux. The number of games that have Mac and Windows versions is too damn high.

We have proton and it works well but any little thing to prevent Mac from gaining more popularity is for the better. There is no place in gaming for a platform that doesn't even let you upgrade the gpu on their desktop machines.

At least on older x86 motherboards, there used to be a dram refresh interrupt. It would trigger every 15 or so milliseconds and tell the dram controller to do a bus hold request and then refresh the ram. This bus hold request means the cpu can't access the ram when this happens (it can still run stuff in the cache) but at least you aren't wasting as much cpu time on dram refresh this way.

What kinds of things are you having a hard time modding in Linux? I generally stay away from AAA games and especially AAA games that don't have mod support. There's gimp. There's blender. There's audacity. There's an abundance of good text editors. Almost every file explorer is easier to use and more powerful than the one in Windows. Java development kit kind of sucks in Linux with that export path variable nonsense that never ever works correctly but other than that, I don't think I could do half the modding in Windows that I do in Linux.
