It was so much better than I thought it was going to be.

I watched The Substance via streaming alone on my birthday night because my wife and partner aren’t into body horror. I loved it! It was really good. Definitely one of the better movies I’ve seen this year.

It’s still useful because others will have the same question.

Balatro. I only own it on Android. I don’t think the experience is significantly reduced on Android as opposed to PC/other platforms.

I don’t necessarily see the problem. It’s not like every construction is up to code.

I just dumped my obsidian workspace into a folder synced by Google Drive.

Wrong(ish). You’re correct in that you cannot revoke previous licenses, but you can license new code differently if all copyright holders agree.

Should we add a little key? Should we add a little line? Who the fuck are you? I’m a brat when I’m forkin’ that.

I think I agree with most of what you said. My one doubt is about Wayland. I was under the impression it was still a relatively new/niche thing that had problems. Is this no longer the case? I ask because you recommended against things like immutable distros because they’re not super mature yet.

Note: I’m technically inclined but don’t use a Linux distro daily. My personal laptop is my old work Mac and my work laptop is a Mac. My older personal laptop runs Xubuntu.

I’m going to actively voice my support for this mentality, more than just an up vote. People saying things like dual booting and rolling distributions are good ideas for genuinely new users who, like you said, have never opened a command prompt or regedit, really shouldn’t be suggested those types of things.

The average dev/tech enthusiast has a horribly bad habit of drastically over estimating the average person’s technical ability. While I believe it’s reasonable to expect new uses to want to try and learn (I’d hope everyone would want to learn sometimes), the reality is that most folks won’t.

The one that just makes me want to scream is when people suggest installing Arch via the wiki. I did this around 2015 or 2016 on a VM and couldn’t get it working. To be fair, I wasn’t terribly motivated to really dive into what was wrong, but people act like it’s really magically simple and clear cut when it’s not. (With the major caveat that perhaps it’s gotten better since last time I tried.)

I think so many of these discussions go to shit because of who the target audience is intended to be and who the responders believe the target audience to be.

My dual boot has never broken on multiple computers. Whether is be Debian, Ubuntu, fedora, or arch.

That’s great, but it’s still shockingly common and not something newbies should have to try to fix

ACID go brrr

So expressive!

Bonus baby Olive pic which looks even more like this

Looks like my Olive!

I chalk it up to either a working clock being weird every now and then or prompt engineers trolling.

I definitely remember they had drugs to make them affectionate of and protectors of the Little Sisters. With things like concept art it’s hard to know how early in the process it was. Big Daddy’s could’ve been nothing more than “boss type enemy with old timey diving suit.” They could’ve been concepting their origins and purpose as well. The “guns” the middle and left are holding could also look like a tool. It could be something that serves as both. The mech suit from Aliens comes to mind, which was essentially the equivalent of fighting a bear with a forklift lol. Or maybe something like the rail spike gun from Fallout is a better comparison.

It could also be that they planned on each Big Daddy being a little different, or at least more different types than there were. I just double checked the wiki and there were two in the first game: the Bouncer (the iconic one from the cover) and Rosie. Also, it’s saying the original candidates for the Big Daddy program were criminals and dissidents. The idea that in the right wing dystopia of Rapture they’d force invalids into the Big Daddy program to make them “useful” isn’t terribly far fetched.

Maybe it was scrapped because there weren’t many spaces where wheelchair bound enemies made sense.
