I’ve always wanted a battlefield like 40k experience. To be a little guardsman who gets krumped by the greener faction, or eaten by nids or spikies.

I’ve also been really enjoying games that are controlled with programming (the farmer was replaced has been a fixation recently). So I’d really like to make something like that. Like old school RuneScape, but the only way to play is to program a bot.

Predicting the next century seems a bit much. But I’m glad they are experiencing success, I hope we all benefit from their discoveries.

“chown” is a command for changing the users and groups who own a file. But the options “775 xyz” are used with chmod, a command for changing what permissions the owners and groups have over a file. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do so I can’t tell what part of the command is wrong.

Either way you can run a command with elevated permissions by putting “sudo” in front of the command. Or by switching to the root user by using the command “su” or “sudo -i” (if you have sudo access, but don’t know the root password)

I think there is something about fake videogames that really gets the imagination working. It’s like you’re putting together the pieces of a puzzle, but you have to make most of the pieces yourself.

Does the JVM count?

I was trying to mention things that weren’t just web browsers. Since it seemed the comment was about programs that use more ram than they seemingly need to.

Edit: There’s like photogrammetry and stuff that happens on phones now!

Is this bait? Because like, you could be rendering, simulating, running virtual machines. Lots of stuff that aren’t web browsers also eat ram

Bloat is just a meme, it comes from a time when sysadmins would need to optimize every aspect of a system to get the most out of it (like not using vi, because it took up too much space/memory). You will never need to get that much performance out of your machine.

I try not to install programs all willy nilly. If I want to try something new, I’ll fire it up in a vm. I mean this about programs from 3rd party sources, and compiling from source. Anything in the repos is good and will uninstall cleanly too.

On fedora you get more programs through RPMfusion. It’s sort of official, but also not. And you can also check out the copr repository, this is more like fedora’s aur. Opensuse’s open build service also sometimes has packages that work for red hat systems.

When I first started I wanted Linux to work just like Windows. It took me a while to shift my perspective to the way Linux people do things. I don’t know how to speed up that process though.

I can’t afford a Mac

I’m not so sure it’s their hearts, those are full of blood. It’s more like a system that incentivises people to make immortal decisions for profit.

Weight and weight distribution are both important, but a pickup will usually perform better in snow with more weight, like 500 lbs of sand in the bed usually does the trick.

How you apply power to the road surface is also very important. Not enough weight and you will just spin tires. Break too aggressively and you lock up. Pedal to the floor and your tires are spinning. Overcorrect your turns when you start to slide and you’ll never get back straight.

My car is a little older and actually drives better in snow with the traction control off.

I see Jersey schmucks up here with their pavement princess trucks getting stuck in the snow all the time. I see locals in a Corolla or fiesta or other tiny light car make it just fine in deep snow. One of my bosses at the ski mountain used to drive a mini Cooper an hour to work every day.

This is a skill issue.

I think piracy is copyright infringement. But like who cares if some big corpos get infringed upon by some dudes.

Yeah, I didn’t particularly enjoy base fallout 4, but I could see a lot of potential there. It felt like “if only I could change these things, then it will be good”.

I love that PS1 horror/aesthetic is making a comeback in the indie scene

Woah, first time I’ve heard of blendOS, looks super cool!

Don’t worry, Linux is still the best. But you have to get people thinking about how they use their operating system before you can get them to see the light.

I’m just playing the long game… I hope.

They all suck in their own unique way! For me I can tolerate the way Linux sucks, and for others it’s something else. But I think we can all agree that bitching about operating systems is great catharsis.

Haha, my browser is called curl
