  • I think it was TNG Tech Manual?

  • It has its weaknesses, but I think you should watch it if just to form your own opinion.

    I’ve only watched through the middle of season 4, where I got a bit tired of it, though I might pick it back up.

    Season 1 is interesting, season 2 is weird, and season 3 has its flaws but keeps you on the edge of your seat.

    Season 4 I feel like squanders the new setting introduced in season 3; the plot they introduce feels so artificial to me, which is very upsetting because it feels like the new setting has so many stories that would practically write themselves even if you do decide to lean on “Big Bad Villain/Problem” storytelling.

  • I saw the first part (which I have faded) online and added my response.

  • Not great. I even got GPU passthrough working once, but you get weird graphics glitches because it's all being sent over RDP.

    I think Cassowary might be better than WinApps, but honestly, at this point, I just gave up on those and just use the VM directly.

  • To clarify, what I mean is WebKit continued while Blink became its own thing. Factually, Blink is not WebKit anymore.

    Replace “WebKit” with Linux and Blink with ELKS.

  • For one, it explicitly calls itself a “subset”; a subset is not the whole set.

    If we don’t want to go just off the pedantics of language though, then here’s the thing: it was forked a very long time ago, and both have diverged significantly, I think. It’s a bit like saying Blink (the rendering engine of Chromium) is WebKit; sure, Blink is a fork of WebKit, but the two are very different now.

  • Just because they existed during the Linux era doesn’t mean they ran Linux; Torvalds was writing for the 386 from the beginning, and Linux has never been written for anything below 32-bit.

    Now, it certainly has RAN on that hardware through emulation, such as on a 4 bit Intel 4004, but only for the heck of it.

  • It is Super Mario BROTHERS 3, petaQ! For this, you shall experience much bIj in ghe’tor!

  • When it freeze, after you've rebooted it, try running sudo journalctl -p 5 -b -1; you might see something in those logs.

    Maybe also open a task manager before you do anything graphics intensive, just to see if there's a process that rapidly increases its memory usage; while it might not be the cause, I've experienced similar freezes when I use all my memory (on a machine with 32GB of RAM).

  • FYI Don’t use this command. I think it was intended as a joke, but I just want to clarify.

  • Excuse me, but you mean 24th century weed.

    I’m pretty sure 23rd century weed was responsible for the TOS episode “The Alternative Factor” and that one CGI sequence in the one with the whales.

  • Fun fact: you didn’t have to reinstall; you can actually boot up a live usb and chroot into your install to fix things.

  • Probably would work well on OpenTTD for similar reasons.

    Honestly, there’s a bit of an “if I had a nickel” meme for open source reverse engineered clones of Chris Sawyer tycoon games, although it would be 3 nickels rather than the traditional 2 due to OpenLocomotion.

  • That is kind of awesome.

    I wish Debian’s default Grub theme was less ugly; I know I could change it (and I have on other installs, but I’m quite lazy about theming these days. Part of it is I have a laptop that I rely on for college and don’t want to risk any theme glitches, so I keep its Debian install as vanilla as possible.

  • At least animated WEBP is kind of good; APNGs have huge file sizes and are not widely supported.

    Still, this meme made me laugh.

  • Lossless webp actually has slightly better compression than PNG.

  • Most browsers support it, but most web apps, including some Google Suite stuff ironically, don’t support uploading a webp.
