Oh are we doing that shit now? banning someone from one community for activity in another is so Reddit.

That’s the winning hypothesis, dumpster diving gooners.

I personally don’t, no. I have it installed on a PC though.

Surely there are people who bought Chromebooks for college? Or boomers who bought the $245 Chromebook instead of the $285 Win10S manufactured ewaste laptop?

Name me a feature SteamOS has that Bazzite doesn’t.

I’m going to tell a story on my mother and my childhood cat, Spice.

Every morning, Spice would yell to be fed her breakfast. Mama would crack open a can of Fancy Feast for Spice, Spice would sniff it and wander off. This would piss Mama off to no end. One day, in the afternoon, Mama picked up Spice’s breakfast dish, only to realize it was empty of food. Mama looks at me and says “Ah man, the cat is smarter than me. She’s been planning ahead. She’s not hungry when we leave in the morning, but she knows she’ll be alone all day, so she yells at me to make me put food down so it’s there when she wants it.”

From then on, Spicey would yell for her breakfast, Mama would feed the cat, cat would sniff it and walk away, Mama would say “Fine eat it later.”

True story.

A little bit rustic but they seem to mate just fine.

So, my understanding of auroras is, the planet’s magnetic field draws particles emitted by the sun toward the poles, and as those particles interact with the atmosphere they glow. So without a star and thus without solar wind, where do the aurora come from?

in this case, the pilot needs to sue the tits off the vendor.

Mine too. war stories of 16k of RAM and 20MB hard disk drives the size of washing machines.

“carbon fiber” filament usually has little shards of carbon fibers suspended in it. This makes the part less flexible than raw ABS…when cool. It’s not like they do a layup of carbon fiber over 3D printed ABS, that would almost defeat the purpose.

If they’d done that, 3D print a mold or buck and then do a carbon layup over it, it’d be made of epoxy, which doesn’t melt.

Pilot and mechanic here. I’m American but this will apply in other countries too, just change to your language’s acronyms.

On aircraft with standard airworthiness certificates, there’d be at least two people going to prison over this. Standard aircraft require approved parts that are identical to those the aircraft was manufactured with, or any modification from the original design must be done either under the signature of an aeronautical engineer, or much more likely per a Supplemental Type Certificate. If you want to put different sun visors in your Cessna 172, the manufacturer of those new sun visors has submitted paperwork with the FAA and gotten them to issue an addendum to the aircraft’s type certificate to include that modification, which then must live with the airplane’s logbooks for the rest of eternity. Getting that STC comes with some engineering and testing work, which obviously wasn’t done here. If this were an aircraft with a standard airworthiness certificate, the person who sold the part, and the person who installed the part, have committed federal offenses.

This seems to be an Experimental Amateur Built aircraft, which is a Special airworthiness category and class. Most of the rules are out the window and basically anyone can do anything they want to with it, it’s “Experimental.” In exchange for limits on what the aircraft can be used for, generally Experimental aircraft cannot be used for commercial purposes, flight training of other than its owner, etc., the maintenance, inspection and sources of parts requirements are greatly relaxed. If they’d installed one 3D printed from a plastic with a higher glass transition temperature, there’d be an article somewhere praising this excellent application of this cutting edge technology.

I’m not so sure. Like I say, we saw several studios say “Well since Proton works so well, we’re going to stop supporting a separate Linux version. Linux users are to install the Windows version under Proton, and we’ll only support that.” Because almost all player communities are mostly Windows. As much as us Linux nerds hate it, we’re a small (but rapidly growing!) minority, and developers would rather support the thing most people use and just ladle what everyone else is drinking into a sippy cup for the special kids than have to make a whole separate jug of kool aid. I don’t think we’ll see a reversal in that until Linux-based platforms represent an actual majority of the install base and do so for awhile. Nothing is more permanent than a bodge job that works for now. Not to call Proton a “bodge job” but you know what I mean.

ARM is yet another leap, possibly a farther one, than Linux.

What I’m getting at is, we don’t have a karma counter. Who gives a puke about “points” on this platform?

Points? What is this, Reddit?

So, when Proton came out, and Windows games Just Worked on Linux, a lot of developers gave up making or maintaining native Linux versions of games, and the way you make games for Linux is make them for Windows and run them in Proton.

Are we now going to make games for Windows x86 and run them in Proton, on ARM? And are we going to get to a point where we start actually making games for the hardware and OS we play them on, or are we just stuck with compatibility lasagna?

The experience of managing a consumer-grade LAN appliance:

Open web browser

Start typing 192.168.0.1

It auto-inserts 192.168.0.12 because that’s the IP address of your NAS, and you’ve logged into it to adjust something at some point in the last six months. You register it has done this as you’re releasing the Enter key.

click Back.

Type the IP address again, this time carefully deleting the 2 it oh so helpfully inserted.

Wait 3 to 5 business weeks while the 16-bit ARM microcontroller they put in these things serves a web page like old people fuck. It loads to a completely useless stats page that has no information that anyone has ever needed to know.

Click LAN Setup.

It continues in that fashion until you get what you need done or your network stops working and you have to get a pen and press the Reset button on the back of the device.

I want it to work like a hit and miss engine. Big ol flywheel, the exhaust valve is held open until the RPM dips low enough then you get a power stroke, just a nice controlled fusion event that releases a whackton of energy, bring the RPM up a bit…

I would swear I saw Tom Scott interview one lab that was planning on building a fusion generator that worked like a diesel engine. Like, the fusion reaction drives a piston.

I learned a lot from Raspberry Pi tutorials; that’s where I got my start.

Bazzite might be a bit of a tough one to get your hands dirty in; it’s an immutable distro, it locks down the guts of the OS kind of like Android does. Useful for gaming appliances, not so much for learning to sysadmin.
