TIL, thanks ^^

Is it a common saying the way you did the "Buh bye, Buh bye now" or you also watch Tara Mooknee content?

In my country is the same ways but the value paid is corrected when they do get the measurement, so if you paid more in the estimate you get it deducted. Not sure what happens if they can never get a measurement.

This remembers me of the "Look at my shit" scene from Spring Breakers

I loved the FF8 card game. It was so sad that you had to choose to used up some cards if you wanted some equipments if I recall correctly. It would be nice to not have to choose to keep all cards or have all equipments os spells

That is why I stick with Linux if I can. Last place I worked I kinda had to use windows and it was a pain. The options for having all the software I needed was WSL or using the Linux servers. The servers had lag, specially over VPN and WSL was constantly crashing. As well as the whole OS and that shit that was teams.

I don't see input being discussed as much as it should, but when modern games became very realistic, let's say Battlefield 4 era, it became clear for me that the current challenge for gaming is input. You can make an character animation do anything but you can't instruct it to the character, maybe that is why this quick time action bullshit is so popular, because you can make a very complex cinematic scene but you can't make the player give the input for it.

That is all to say this problem is 10x worst for VR games. Like the biggesr benefit of a 3D view is to move around but if you can't do that in a natural way it kinda sucks, that is why 3D movies sucks, you are not moving around the scene. I guess that is also why VR works well with flight sims because in a real plane you are confined to your sit and can only look around. Now a shooter or other FPSs you WALK around and that has not being solved.

The efficiency is not on the API it is on the microarchitecture. The value of copying the API is just to run unmodified software made for CUDA.

When you play Noita you discover that the way to move fast is to teleport shorter distance possible and spam it. It is also better for avoiding obstacles

I'm kind of noob in general terms and I'm afraid I'll be leaving dual boot just in case.

ArchLinux is the other alternative.

Never change internet. Never change.

OP, don't go with the hype, don't go arch Linux as your first distro, you can change to it later when you get more comfortable and feels like having a more hands on approach.

PS: I don't think that matters but just in case, I am an arch user for at least 12 years already as my only OS (except work computer) and I find it wild that so many people recommends arch Linux (or any of its derivatives) for beginners. I can only guess how many people get burnt and give up on Linux because of it.

Very curious to me that FF9 made the list but not FF8. FF7 is a given, a seminal game. But I was a kid/teenager when both FF8 and FF9 came out and I remember FF8 being more of a hit than 9. I am sure part of it was that 9 came out more on the eol of the PS1 while the 8 was on the prime years. I think I read something about 9 becoming a cult classic over the years but I am not sure. Maybe also with the years 8 didn't fare as well and maybe the early praise when first launched came in part trailing how well was 7 that everyone wanted for 8 to be good.

Personally I did play a lot of 8 but I think only halfway through instead of completing like I did 7 and when 9 came around I wanted to play but never ended up playing it.

It is wild to see a TIL about something you saw on TV as a kid and remember being referenced multiple times over the years. Not a diss on OP, just a realization that fuck I am and old person now.

I cannot get over the fact that that is not how whatsapp looks when someone sends multiple messages. This is the chat list screen that shows your recent chats. This image is like multiple contacts with the same name and image (but different phone number) sending the same message.

And it would be so simple if it was the correct chat screen with multiple messages from the person with each its own time stamp and stuff

And is even worse sign if you need a document to describe how to pronounce its name. It is a sign you should pick another name.

In theory yes. In practice you cannot expect that every user maintains a server and one with internet facing ssh, specially a message app and the average non technical user.

Exactly, it is a step by step improvement.

It is supposed to to keep your SSN secret and not carry the card with you everywhere but you have to memorize it and everyone and their dog is gonna ask for it. It is kinda scary how many times you have to give it out to random people over the phone or email.

Oh come on, the full USB spec may be a cluster fuck, but even the basic functionality that is shared is enough of a step forward to how it was before with multiple physical sockets with slightly different plugs and slightly different voltage and amperage. Once I forgot my phone charger at home and lo and behold I just plugged on my work laptop USB charger and now I could charge my phone. It is great. And any cable and combination like usb-a to usb-c will give you basic charging and basic data transfer. That in itself is already a saving grace and helps diminish the clutter of cables. Sure it could be better and less confusing for things like rapid charging and other stuff now USB supports but that does not detract from the advancement. Other thing, with usb-c there is also less port clutter that we had with the previously misguided plentora of USB plugs, A, B, mini, micro, etc.

I can't comment on the regular package upgrades without more info, if it is like OS base packages or like end user apps. In any case there has being problems with major versions with changes and stuff but if it is not a rolling release distro that is very rare.

In any case I don't agree thad service packs are the same as OS version upgrades, and if it was recently win10/11 had some very bad updates that broke people workflows and features.

I don't know if there is any LTS distro with Wayland by default. I don't use LTS distro nor Wayland (nothing against it, I just didn't have a need for it so far so my lazy ass will not update). But Wayland rollout has being a disaster in any case. That is completely valid. The only thing I will say is that I don't think that there was any distro that changed to Wayland as a normal update, was always during a version change and as such, of course, doing an upgrade with this major change probably broke a lot of people workflows. The Nvidia situation in the Wayland matter also didn't help at all.

I only say that reinstalling is not solving a problem in the context of troubleshooting and finding a fix. But yes, is not a good solution because it is a pain. I did so much reinstalling in my windows years that one of the best things I did was to learn to create a separated partition to use for data because it make reinstalling so much easier (it was back in the days of winME and it was an event to do a reinstall, we would usually go to a friend's house with the HD or the whole machine just to be able to backup everything).

About the software it is like I mentioned (maybe in other comment) with hardware compatibility. If it is a windows first software, usually Linux support is done in "best effort", so always lags behind. This is specially true to closed source software as the community can't even help. In any case, one sad reality is that programmers usually are terrible at building and packaging software for release, and that is not a Linux only problem. The famous dll hell on older windows were due to terrible packaging. That is why docker is so popular, so people don't have to bother with packaging.

For FLOSS software what I usually see is in software not on the distro repos and it not being compatible with the distro because the devs don't build for it. With closed source/binary-only what I see the most is broken dependencies because they build it wrong, targeting the OS libraries instead of bundling everything with the package.
