  • For some reason it seems to me like toxic games are less likely to run on Linux compared to the average

  • Wine was originally made specifically for running MS Office on Linux. Does that not work for you either?

  • Absolutely agree. It is horrible how our governments allow corporations to use that backdoor to extract as much shareholder value from us as possible

  • People will be annoyed with you and honk at you when you stall at a traffic light or something. Know and accept that fact. Do not mind them. Take your time to do things right. With time you'll gain muscle memory and you won't have to think about it at all. Until then, don't mind the impatient drivers.

  • Honestly not sure where to start with this one.

    I'm sure the blanket statement of needing to drink 2 liters of water is misleading in plenty of situations but I really don't think this is what we should be focusing on. This is the last thing from the food industry that I'd consider propaganda. Not to mention that it's really not a bad recommendation, and a 50 year old book 2 people wrote (no matter their qualification) isn't really a solid foundation for an argument like this.

    Of course water intake is highly individual. Athletes may drink 10+ liters per day, but most people are probably fine with just drinking when they're thirsty.

    I don't think anyone is saying that 2 liters are necessary for survival. You can get away with much less. The thing is, it's easy to drink more than enough, it has many benefits, and there isn't really much of a downside to it. The 2 liters are a rule of thumb, not an exact required amount for everyone.

    Regarding the beer, we know nowadays there is no amount of alcohol that is healthy. Sure, beer might be able to hydrate you when enjoyed in moderation, but it's plain counterproductive when recommended as a healthy diet.

  • Hmm, interesting point. Thanks for sharing.

  • Basically they're people who got caught in the food industries propaganda.

    They might consciously know they need regular water, but their body is now craving sugar with every sip. If it's missing, it feels wrong.

    Sugar needs to be much more regulated, especially for kids... Adults may be responsible enough to handle it but without regulation the industry will run wild and make everyone addicted.

  • I mean planned obsolescence is absolutely a thing, but

    modern [microwaves] are prone to catch on fire

    is a wild take that you better support with some kind of proof. Otherwise it just makes the rest of your (IMO valid) argument look bad.

  • I also remember it fondly but I'm not sure it would hold up nowadays.. Have you watched it recently?

  • Steam added an excellent screen capture feature to their overlay, but I like being able to capture my screen anytime, not just when playing games with the steam overlay.

    gpu-screen-recorder is the perfect tool for this, you set up a command to run at startup and the software records the last X minutes in the background, with barely any hardware utilization. Add a hotkey for another command that saves the recorded clip to a file, and boom, simple and efficient replay recorder. I'm honestly surprised this app wasn't mentioned yet.

  • Does no one realize that this is pasta?

  • As a junior dev with prior working experience, currently not working as a programmer, yeah. I can only agree.

    We might understand AI won't actually solve the same problems we are able to solve, but the people deciding budgets dont understand that.

  • I mean I get where you're coming from, but if you consider the water to wash dishes wasted, I'm afraid there isn't really any food that is not wasteful, except maybe berries straight from the bush...

  • That doesn't sound normal to me. I know the feeling of heavy eyelids in such a situation whenever I haven't slept well, so if that's a regular occurrence for you, I'd look into trying to get better rest.
