Cassette Beasts not Beats ;)

What about Elisa? I was under the (potentially mistaken) assumption that Elisa was the successor of Amarok.

Redox-OS?

A human made the graph

So like, it’s really easy to armchair and just say that they should ignore the haters and so on, but having been on the opposite end of a small Internet hate mob, even if you only have like a dozen people telling you that you’re a crook, or a piece of shit, or your stupid or dishonest, or whatever, it doesn’t really matter how accurate any of that is, it really does start to get to you, no matter who you are.

The only healthy option is to log out at that point.

Wow, your name is my name too.

It’s at least partially because the specification was designed to detect and thwart attempts to tee the video and audio data in order to bypass copy protection on DVDs and Blu-Rays, iirc.

GT4 is better than GT3 imo, but if you have to spend money on it, it might not be worth.

I’m mostly into RPGs, and it doesn’t seem like you are from this list. If you are, then FF10 and 12 are available. So are KH1 and 2, and also Wild Arms 3, Personas 3 and 4, Disgaea, Shadow Hearts, Okage, Okami, Star Ocean, Dragon Quest, Devil May Cry, God of War, and so on.

Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 are silly and fun side scrolling beat 'em ups. Tony Hawk needs no introduction. Silent Hill 2 and 3 if you’re into horror. Resident Evil 4 if you’re into action horror.

Shadow of the Colossus is great if you’re into a quiet, contemplative adventure game.

I’m not going to weigh in on the specifics of Flatpak vs AppImage, because I don’t know enough about the particulars.

However, I think the “user choice” argument is often deployed in situations where it probably shouldn’t be.

For instance, in this case, it’s not the user’s choice at all, but a developer’s choice, as a normal user would not be packaging their own software. They would be merely downloading one of a number of options of precompiled packages. And this is the thrust of the argument. If we take the GitHub rant at face value, some developers seem to be distributing software using AppImage, to the exclusion of other options. And then listing ways in which this is problematic.

I, for one, would be rather annoyed if my only option were either AppImage or Flatpak, as I typically prefer use software packaged for my package manager. That is user choice, give me the option to package it myself; hopefully it’s already been done for me.

There are some good things to be said about trust and verification, and I’m generally receptive to those arguments way more than “user choice.”

in fact I just asked that exact same question to chatgpt4 and it also replied 1/365

Yes, you can get different answers because of different phrasing and also because random vector input

I spent an hour and a half arguing with my brother about probability, because he asked ChatGPT what the probability that he and his daughter were born on the same day.

ChatGPT said 1/113465 which it claimed was 1/365^2 (this value is actually 1/133225) because there’s a 1/365 chance he was born on such and such day, and a 1/365 chance his daughter was too.

But anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of probability would know that it’s just 1/365, because it doesn’t actually matter on which day they both happened to be born.

He wanted to feel special, and ChatGPT confirmed his biases hard, and I got to be the dickhead and say it is special, but it’s 1/400 special not 1/100000. I don’t believe he’s completely forgiven me over disillusioning him.

So yeah, I’ve had a minor family falling out over ChatGPT hallucinations.

You make whomever is advertising via Google pay both Google and the website.

Be careful, the small partitions might be UEFI partitions (/boot and /boot/efi) and are required for booting your computer.

So it’s su then, not sudo.

So please forgive me if this is a rather naive question. I haven’t seriously used Windows in nearly 15 years.

I seem to recall runas being a lot like su, in that you enter the target user’s credentials, rather than your own as in sudo. This works because sudo is a setuid executable, and reads from configuration to find out what you’re allowed to do as the switched user.

Is the behavior of windows sudo like unix su or unix sudo with regard to the credentials you enter? Can you limit the user to only certain commands?

If I’m understanding this correctly, it’s not even copying. It’s apparently just a wrapper for the built-in runas command that’s been there since Windows 2000.

Yup

“We’re listening and we hear you,” Phil Spencer wrote on X earlier this week. “We’ve been planning a business update event for next week, where we look forward to sharing more details with you about our vision for the future of Xbox. Stay tuned.”

If I understand corporate speech correctly, this means that XBox is essentially doomed. This is far more damning than anything that he is responding to could possibly have been saying.

In my experience, it’s normally the other way around. I have no trouble opening doc and docx files made in libreoffice with MS office, but vice versa can sometimes be a little bit chancey.

Of course PowerPoint vs Impress just destroys the formatting both ways.
