Nevermind. Pretty sure this GitHub is doing the explaining I need: https://github.com/Ravencentric/awesome-arr

Please, expand on that for me. Not sure “aars stack” is enough for me to go on a research dive with. More than happy to do some sailing. I 100% has the infrastructure and technical ability.

We have it for survivor

They mean “brace” as in one of those things you attach to act as a support for structural deficiencies. They need to “brace” Nancy because she’s too old to stay upright on her own.

that's reducing entropy even more. by assuming everything between two commas is a password, they would have a shockingly high hit rate.

doesn't having commas in every password reduce overall entropy though?

I’d say I’m almost the opposite as you? I guess not really.

I hope they do get bit, I hope it kinda sucks, but I absolutely will lift a finger to help them.

I’m on a delayed flight right now!

I only wish it had gotten worse before today so I didn’t have to go at all. That said, if it collapses before next Monday I’ll be happier, even if I have to drive 1,000 miles back home. I really don’t want to go to NYC after only a few days home from Arizona. I’m tired. Justifiable cause to cancel work flights sounds nice. I also don’t want people to get hurt, so I hope whatever happens it’s not terrible tragedy.

It makes ice look small, weak, jumpy, and most of all, in the wrong.

ICE is small, weak, jumpy, and most of all: in the wrong.

I don’t think anyone should comment on this post if they would do such a thing, but the economy is hard rn, lots of people losing their jobs. And ICE has a huge fucking budget next year with lots of hiring… could be a win/win for society if enough people lose their jobs and need to turn to ICE to not only get paid, but also improve society as a whole.

Balatro Hades & Hades II Dead Cells Astro Bot Hollow Knight & Silksong Stardew Valley

Plenty of evidence of mid-budget games that are hugely successful. “Indie” is now a pretty large and unhelpful term. Supergiant is a fairly large company, not just “a single guy” like in the case of Stardew Valley. Even Concerned Ape hired on a team for ongoing support and ports for Stardew. And Team Cherry may be small, but also not actually just 2 people like is the common understanding. And Astro Bot may be made by a fairly large studio owned by the biggest console platform owner but you couldn’t seriously call last year’s GOTY a “quadruple A game”. Hell, even Triple is generous.

I get the malaise and disappointment around the top 5 games all being like a decade old live service games that all make up ,ore than like 80% of the industry’s play time and revenue, but I’m pretty sure LocalThunk is feeling pretty good about their success right now. There are plenty of really great games that are not just bargain bin junk while also not being massive industry stompers like Fortnite.

So yeah, that was a WILD take.

Count my opinion as however invalid you feel like after knowing that I'm one of those CRT screen lovers for retro video games, but I honestly think the AI smoothing look WAY WORSE than just the low res original. I don't know why people like it more? But i guess people also like that TV motion smoothing junk that's enabled by default on new TVs too.

despite your weirdly hard-line anti-bazzite stance elsewhere, this is an excellent expansion on some of the other comments in this thread.

lol, lots of folks responding to me doing the exact thing i was warning about. Honestly, just pick one that seems like it offers what you're looking for.

If you want it to feel kind of familiar to windows, pick KDE as your desktop environment. you can have this in pretty much any distro, some make it easier to set as part of the install process.

If you want it to be harder to fuck up, but with less flexibility for customization or being on the bleeding edge of support, pick an immutable distro like bazzite

If you wan full flexibility and the added danger and complexity that brings, go for an arch-based distro. lot of great comments below too with actually good details and not just "people are dumb for using X, they should use Y because i'm smarter" - specifically dubyakay and Holytimes are offering some great details.

lol, i know you're joking, but this is the kinda thing i think actually really confuses and scares people who are unfamiliar with linux. There absolutely are really great distros out there that aren't the big players, but for a newcomer they can probably stick to a big distro that seems nice and if they start getting the bug they can come back for a deeper dive. deciding to just do it is way more important than getting it "right" imo.

Tbh it actually doesn’t matter that much. There’s like a million different distros, but really there’s like 3 base distros (yes Linux nuts, this is an oversimplification) of Debian, Fedora, and Arch. Ubuntu has gotten a lot of hate lately for their choice of forced package manager, but it’s probably fine. It’ll matter way more to you what desktop environment you select. I’d recommend looking into Bazzite for gaming. It’s based on fedora and it has a bunch of gaming stuff built in, but also does great for anything else. It’s made to be the steamOS for anything not a steam deck. Go with KDE for a windows-like desktop experience.

I’m not so sure about that. They’re literally only saying that they won’t follow illegal orders. Speaking out about not following illegal orders is probably the only way they can show dissent without being retaliated against. “What, you’re going to punish me for saying i wouldn’t do something illegal? The you’re admitting that you made an illegal order”

Just the idea of that is making me hopeful somehow. Do I get to keep my consciousness from this run like in the book Replay?

What a coward

I actually interpreted it as the opposite: that the choice to vote for Kamala and those other shitty Dems in the past was what got us here. Which is even stupider, but I was hoping to get it straight from the horse’s mouth tbh.

Really. Any interpretation is dumb. It’s a dumb comment.
