  • If your personal beliefs lead you to disrespect another group of people then your beliefs should be shown nothing but disrespect in return.

    I have lots of friends who are religious and they're all totally fine with me being gay and transgender, and they love and support the pride moment, as do the churches they belong to. I have no problem with religion or personal beliefs, but I won't tolerate any belief that won't tolerate me just existing in the same world as them.

  • It's crazy that we gave away so much real estate to cars like in this cartoon and how we let the auto industry start blaming pedestrians for getting hit by cars rather than the other way around.

  • There's actually a Man versus Horse Marathon and the horses win quite a lot.

    I think at longer distances Humans would start winning more though.

  • These people are far right bigots using the guise of "save the children" to push their ideology. I hope nobody gets suckered by their lies. I really don't want to see the bigotry that has taken hold in America, take roots here too.

  • The whole "working from home reduces productivity" is non-sense simply because companies can simply put poor performers on a performance improvement plan and if they don't improve then fire them. But they're not doing that in droves, so therefore, it's just not true.

  • I don't really get it either. My best guess is it's a reference to a recursive function that calls itself with a return statement?

  • I see other people have posted good explanations, but I think the simplest explanation has to do with how you break down numbers. Lets take a number, say, 124. We can rewrite it as 100 + 20 + 4 and we can rewrite that as 1 102 + 2 \* 101 + 4 10^0 and I think you can see why anything raised to the 0th power has to equal 1. Numbers and math wouldn't work if it didn't.

  • Maybe. They're still trying to find a cure for light beams shining out of your head syndrome. One day a female scientist will find it.

  • I found it really interesting that I've known some people that simply can't imagine a face on the front or the back of a car. I wonder what percentage of people can't see it. It seems obvious to most of us, the lights are the eyes, the bumper or license plate are the mouth/teeth, etc. It's like cartoon rules for faces, it doesn't have to make total sense just roughly.

    I've heard that car manufacturers actually consider this effect too.

  • lol that reminds me of those "Remember this nerd from High School? Guess what he looks like now!" things

  • Of course, that's what I was implying. The Steam data set for Operating Systems includes the Steam Deck under "Linux" which is why it's suddenly jumped up above iOS users. I'm saying that I think Valve employees are obviously Linux enthusiasts and have heard that line from video game developers for years, so now it's giving them a little bit of schadenfreude to say it about iOS users.

  • I think if you're coming from Windows, the closest thing to a Windows experience imo is Ubuntu. You can opt in to pre-release updates which is good for gaming as others have said. Also, basically everything can be done via GUI in Ubuntu while you learn to get comfortable with the terminal.

  • I have a feeling this response is directly related to how Linux users for yeeeeeeears have been told "we won't support Linux because there just aren't enough users to justify it". Now that there are official more Linux users than Mac users it makes sense to support Windows and then Linux if you can only afford to support the 2 biggest operating systems, but yeah, I really think this is more about Valve pulling a switcheroo on the usual "not enough users to support Linux" line we always hear.

  • Can I ask why you'd want to run a VM on a Steam Deck? Is it possible to run games inside the VM?

  • Unfortunately this doesn't really faze Christians at all because many of them believe that God is the source of all that is good, and so by default anyone who worships God is also good by default, and of course this logic follows that anyone that doesn't worship God is evil by default.

    Also, barring that, just because Satan punishes bad people doesn't make him good. He punishes bad people because he's jealous of God's love for Humans, and he hates them for it. He's more of an antihero I guess if you really wanted to paint him in a somewhat good light.

  • Is that one of the Manson family members? Why does that picture look so oddly familiar?

  • At the very least you'd think they'd get C:\> correct, but I guess whoever made that was probably on iOS or Linux.

    I wonder what the CLI for "They" does. Pretty odd that it takes 8 arguments, let alone starting with an uppercase letter.

  • What are you crazy? They're completely different! You think ASCII code 01100100 is the same as ASCII code 01000100? COME ON!

    Seriously though, if Linux would implement a fuzzy search for capitalized and uncapitalized letters that would be pretty cool. Like if you do cd downloads it should be able to pretty easily find that you meant cd Downloads

  • Oh! I had never heard of that. My mistake. Is that different than Moonlight/Sunshine game steaming? Does it stream from the internet like (the now defunct) Stadia rather than a local machine?
