The message worked out fine. That’s why Trump is in the office.

The difference is that the voters start to realize they’re the poor when the message turned into action.

That’s an impressive showcase. Only game I was aware of before was Bloodthief. Will check out some of the others.

Bloodthief is great btw.

He got so tired of all the winning

It’s the thing that sounds more useful until you actually get to use it

They’re afraid other people (in particular black) might have it good.

Arch wiki is so good it’s useful even when you’re not on Arch

Plumber

On it!

It’s not about the size, but more about density of meaningful content. I like Elden Ring because every nook and cranny feels worth exploring. It’s the game that dares to hide optional areas behind optional areas, all with their own unique enemies and bosses.

On the other hand, taking Elden Ring as an example again, the mini dungeons were too repetitive. The first time visiting a catacomb is exciting, but it turns into quite a chore after the third time and onwards. You’ve already seen it all. Same thing with the dragon battles.

I think Elden Ring overall strikes a good balance with amount of surprises per square meter.

It’s mostly kids. The typical playground arguments like ”my dad is stronger than your dad”.

And adults who refuse to grow up.

In that case it must also have different laws of mathematics for it to work.

Well, ”computer” in the mathematical sense is well defined of what it can and cannot do. The limit is the halting problem or equivalent problems.

The question is: is there some equivalent to the halting problem in the real universe? If that’s the case, then there’s no algorithm you can use to describe the entire universe.

My experience is the opposite.

Whenever I have a problem with Linux, there’s often a solution available after some Googling. Often it’s just changing something in a configuration file. Not great, but at least doable.

Whenever I have a problem with Windows, there’s often that one thread where someone details the exact same problem, and there’s some ”official Microsoft tech support” whose only contribution is to ask if they have tried to reboot the computer and then radio silence.

It’s mostly convenience. They know it works, so they keep using it.

Luckily Microsoft is making it inconvenient to continue using Windows.

Whenever I play Civ I try to go for a peaceful victory. Then someone picks a fight with me and that escalates with me going for the world domination victory.

EndeavourOS has that kind of menu during the install process. A few screenshots and a brief explanation of each option.

I thought it was nice. It’s something I want to see more with other distros. The DE is what most people will notice about the OS either way.

The portion of people playing on SteamOS is steadily decreasing, which means new Linux users are on Steam Deck to a lesser extent.

Is that really needed?

I think what could really drive adoption is if computers with Linux pre-installed was more easily accessible. Just boot the computer, choose which DE you want to install and then it’s done. It doesn’t need to be SteamOS. Just any good distro will do.

I think it will continue to rise. People are updating their rigs all the time. Whenever they update their rig they’ll have to ask themselves whether they want to continue with Windows on their new rig, or try with something new.

Most will stay on Windows of course, but some don’t. And those who switch to Linux are likely not returning to Windows (for gaming at least).

Then it’s not an approximation - it’s the reality. The question is whether all things the universe does can also a computer do in theory. If one thing about the universe is uncomputable, then the entire universe is uncomputable.

The paper suggests this thing is quantum gravity. I have my doubts about it, but I’m in no position to refute the paper.
