Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov (the lead artist) formed their own company Red Info in 2023. I will only recognise a game as Disco Elysium's successor if it comes from them.

Did you completely miss the part where I said "Not the solution, and not a possible solution for everyone, but it is a solution"? I don't know what you think the usual troubleshooting process is, but it doesn't start with "uninstall Windows". Obviously the user was sufficiently intelligent to consider the advantages and disadvantages of switching, and based on that information, chose a course of action that they thought was correct, and it ended up being the solution to their issue.

I don't know how else I can spell it out for you. Computer users are not dumbasses. They have agency over their own actions.

Are they still experiencing whatever problem they were having?

No? Then it is a solution. Not the solution, and not a possible solution for everyone, but it is a solution.

There's a massive difference between the average Windows user and the average PHP developer. It's a false equivalence.

The regular computer user who just needs their apps to run won't likely make the effort to enter an entirely new ecosystem as long as those apps run. Even with the most user-friendly distros, the barrier of entry is still high. And when their apps break? They'll reinstall Windows or pay someone else to fix it.

I love shitting on Microsoft as much as the next penguin, but they're not idiots. Even if some of their decisions are questionable, Windows is still a major part of their business, and they won't just let it degrade to a point where Linux converts are a significant threat to their profit.

(I did not downvote you, by the way, that was someone else)

Games actually provide lots of debugging information, but not in an easily accessible manner. It is usually printed to stdout or stderr, which is to say, to a terminal output, and you'll only see it if the game executable is launched from a terminal or the outputs are redirected to a file.

the only way that’s going to keep Microsoft on top in the long term.

You underestimate the complacency of the masses.

Not within the computer's lifetime. Consumer-grade SSDs are generally rated for 3000-5000 write cycles or more, and contain some kind of wear levelling mechanism to distribute write operations over the entire physical medium to reduce the chance of individual block failures. The first SSD I ever bought is still going strong as my server's root filesystem.

He's spreading cheeks to the muskrat with both hands, and in the process, "accidentally" banned a ton of NSFW subs. This made at least some people realize that their future is not guaranteed on reddit, that an off-service backup is needed; then a r/piracy post mentioning Lemmy reached the front page.

I bet Styropyro has a box of them tucked away somewhere. His laser defense turrets will have unmatched accuracy.

Yes it does. 1945 was 80 years ago, which is easily grandparent age.

Assume that great-grandfather is born in 1920 in Germany. He would be old enough to commit crimes against humanity and flee to Argentina at the war's conclusion, at the age of 25. If he immediately had children in 1946, and they migrated back to Germany in the 60s or 70s, they could easily have adult grandchildren by today. German great-grandparent, Argentinian-born grandparent, German parent.

It's easy to condemn soldiers of the axis today, but being a conscientious objector wasn't easy or good for the health during that time.

@Crazyslinkz-ede64b01-9229-46f5-aadf-2eabe25e6245@lemmy.world just doesn't roll off the tongue that easily.

Here's a cursed idea for capitalists: renting your online identity. You pay a subscription fee to keep your original username, or you get an ugly suffix. If a suffixless username becomes available, it is put on auction for the suffixed plebeians.

It's a reference to a line in a Stargate episode, uttered by a historian in reference to outdated medieval practices (specifically trepanning). If I have to make a point, it is that historical fiction about a specific time and culture should reflect the values and prejudices of the people and not be condemned for it.

That article reads like that other shitpiece that called Ghost of Tsushima racist for portraying Mongols as evil. Like, bruh. It wasn't called "the dark ages" for a lack of sunlight.

Do the "yes, and" routine. You can't deny that it happened, and deflecting blame (even if valid) will look like desperate damage control. Don't bring up the topic, and if the others do, make them look weird for it.

Own it, otherwise you'll be the person who got caught looking at femboys.

You can control how an embarrassing situation plays out. Take it from an expert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMij8LspzHk
