I live in the Philly area, so IDK man, kinda just seems like you got lucky

Who do you think is behind the current Vice President?

It's simultaneously an RTS and a third person action game, during combat in singleplayer campaigns. You command your troops in real-time, but you have a limited POV.

Realtime Strategy doesn't necessarily require that you have a top-down perspective or a specific set of controls, right? Pretty sure Brutal Legend is also technically considered an RTS

Counterpoint: People do this on Amazon all the time. One time I ordered a kick drum stand on Amazon. All I got was the foot of the stand and a brick in the box.

It was supposed to be brand new, not a used item.

>is this the first GitHub-drama?

You must be new here

2-3% of 1 ton is 40-60 pounds of gold, and that's using the smaller, non-metric tons. 200g is about half a pound, so you'd be looking at 80x more gold per ton from traditional mining on the low end

>And according to Google, they always delete data if requested.

However, the request form is on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard'.

It tries to, in bouts

Then say that.

If someone goes on to say, "well you ruined my vacation" or something like that, they weren't asking at all, they were demanding and now they're bullying you about having boundaries to try to tear your boundaries down.

People who go out of their way to try to trample your explicitly stated boundaries are abusing you.

So say no, and if they don't take it well, create distance or tell them off. Avoiding conflict in this case is fully to your own detriment.

If, on the other hand, they do take it well, then guess what? They're an asker and are just fully exploring their options and it's no big deal to them that you said no.

So how would you recommend communicating desires that are less strong than "important"?

I try to include the priority level of my requests inside the question itself, personally. As in, "Hey do you think you could xyz if it's not too much trouble? Not a high priority for me, but it would be convenient is all." Do you recommend something like that?

I find Gemini to be the most consistent at actually using the search results for this, in "Deep Research" mode

Agreed. This is a moral panic because people are learning and adapting in new ways.

Aristotle blamed literacy for intellectual laziness among the youth compared to the old methods of memorization

Personally, I'm not as worried about this as an issue going forward.

When you look at technical people who grew up with the imperfect user interfaces/computers of the 80s, 90s and 00s before the rise of smartphones and tablets, you see people who have a naturally acquired knack for troubleshooting and organically gaining understanding of computers despite (in most cases) never being grounded in the low-level mathematical underpinnings of computer science.

IMO, the imperfections of modern AI are likely going to lead to a new generation of troubleshooters who will organically be forced to accumulate real understanding from a top-down perspective in much the same vein. It's just going to cost us all an absurd amount of electricity.

I prefer LXQt, uses significantly less RAM than xfce

My family is almost 100% Asker. When I got to college, I drove Guessers nuts. They thought I was so selfish and would blow up at me (from my perspective) out of nowhere.

"No" is always a perfectly fine and polite answer from my perspective

It's more that FSync was close to but subtly different from the Windows synchronization primitives when used in certain specific ways and NTSync is a 100% accurate implementation of those same exact Windows synchronization primitives. It should resolve hitching and other minor issues in older games, especially.

Basically it will have no performance improvement, in some cases minor degradation, but it resolves some compatibility issues with older multi-threaded programs.

Hardware energy efficiency is, but software has been getting less efficient for decades, at least on average.

If propaganda was illegal, who would decide what was propaganda and what was simply argumentation made from positions of relative ignorance?

That wasn't the real twist, the real twist is that it was all an allegory for the Manhattan Project

On the other hand, Valve has built a compatibility layer for ARM Linux to run Android APKs, so if anyone could make a jank-free Linux phone it would be them

>and the dedicated user buys most of their games on Steam anyways because it's the dominant distribution platform.

It's also the most convenient by far, and the new Steam Family stuff lets you share all of your games with all of your siblings without any need for password sharing like you'd have to on e.g. GoG or Epic. I have 4 siblings and most of us are married. Our combined Steam library is well over 1000 games

Likewise, the PS5 has absolutely dominated the Xbox's current generation in terms of sales in large part due to exclusives. Xbox Series S is far cheaper than a PS5, mind you.

What platform has more exclusives than PC?

While this is generally true, tire wear is known to be generally faster on EVs due to their weight and instantaneous torque when accelerating.

Which, as an EV owner, feels like an "oh no, my steak is too buttery" kind of problem to have.

It's also a governmental problem. Remember that Vance is functionally owned by Thiel, who also backed Trump's campaign.

So, the issue is really just that he has far too much power, as an individual

You're one of today's lucky 10,000. It was huge news at the time. The FTC considered not allowing it and the acquisition got delayed for months while back and forth public debate raged.

Shoutout to Firefox for Android for being the only mobile browser of note that lets you use uBlock Origin

Perhaps most notably, the "What is a man?" scene was completely retranslated

Especially FSR 2 and its subsequent iterations. The motion vectors let them basically do TAA on the upscaled image.

Asahi Linux is Linux specifically made to run on the M-series Mac hardware, so if that's not a Mac version of Linux, what is?

You can add packages, but they can be wiped by the updates. Flatpaks work seamlessly and because of the Deck's popularity, most everything you would want is available in flatpak form
