Right. 1F = 1C/1V … they could have just as easily said 1kF = 1C/1V. Many things use kg instead of g. You can tie together things other than the unscaled base units. Then they are still tied together but 1F is a more reasonable amount.

Depending on the UI/app you use for Lemmy, you may only be able to pick languages you have set on your profile (My mobile app lets me pick any language, but the default web UI (shown above) only shows languages on my profile).

I feel like “Japanese games” is pretty vague. Square Enix and Fromsoft are some of the largest Japanese studios out there and their games work great on Linux.

I agree. The best part of the fediverse is the diversity.

However, for someone who doesn’t speak this language, having it marked as English content is not helpful. Would be very nice to have content properly tagged as the actual language it is in, so that users can opt to see content in languages they understand, would be great.

I don’t have a language filter on, so this wouldn’t affect me, but language tags and filters exist for this very purpose, so it would be nice to see them properly used.

Infowars was being sold to pay Sandy Hook lawsuit. The Onion won the bid for Infowars. They were going to make it a satire site. Then some “we don’t want to sell to them even though we have to as part of asset liquidation” drama means that the sale got cancelled (which is what the comic is referencing)

Axios’s target demo is the employers, not the affected young people.

This is an article about “if you don’t care about other people, stop and think about how it affects your bottom line.” It’s meant to be a way to attempt to instill some pseudo-empathy into the sociopath business types.

When you are trying to talk sense to dense people, sometimes you have to say things that don’t tone well with reality in order to reach them.

That is his entire resume though. It’s not a “back in college” thing when you are fresh out of college.

I never signed a contract to be born, or to die of old age. We don’t always get to approve of the circumstances of life.

I’m so impressed by what the jellyfin roku team has come up with over the years.

According to Debian users, “stable” means “unchanging” and not “doesn’t crash or have bugs” … If you still ship 100% of the changes but just delay them by 2 weeks, you have the same number of changes. So by the Debian definition of “stable”, no, it is the exact same as arch.

By the everyone else definition where “stable” means “doesn’t crash or have bugs”, then also no. Shipping buggy code 2 weeks later doesn’t reduce bugs. And if you use the AUR at all, then things get worse, I’ve found, as the AUR pkgbuilds expect dependencies to match current up to date Arch repos.

tl;dr - no

Tarkov is a live service game. Which has its own ups and downs. Tarkov has benefits of having some things progress while you are offline. Things happen at the server level while you’re gone.

Not every game needs to be a live service game though or try to use live service features in a single player offline game.

Unless there is a very specific reason in the game mechanics why in game time is 1:1 with real time, it doesn’t make a lot of sense except to be divisive and a discussion point.

I know you didn’t ask but an opportunity to info dump is always fun.

Shorting is basically borrowing stock from someone, selling it. and then buying it back later before the person wants their stock back. Since (mostly) all shares are equal, as long as I return to the same stock, there’s no reason to hold onto a specific share.

If a stock is going down, if I borrow a share for a week, sell it for $100, then in 6 days buy it for $50 and return it to you, then I’ve just made $50.

It’s a way to make money when the stock market is going down, but is often riskier because with buying stock, you can just hold indefinitely. If I buy a $100 share, and the price goes to $0. I just lost $100. The most I can possibly lose is $100. (edit: and I sell at any point in the future when I decide. Could be 1 week, could be 30 years.)

But when shorting, you have to return the shares to the actual owner at some point, and since you sold the shares, you MUST get them back. But if I sold your $100 share, and in 6 days it is now $10,000 (this wouldn’t happen, but for example), and I don’t have $10,000, now I can’t return your share to you, and I’m in REAL big trouble. The amount of money I can lose is technically infinite, and since I don’t have infinite money to lose, it probably just devolves into legal issues.

This lightning talk requires running SteamVR for the room setup bits, and it recommends a few things in the name of “user friendliness” that I would otherwise not suggest (Ubuntu bad, Gnome bad, etc). (edit: so switching to Monado wouldn’t really help since it would require SteamVR working in the first place, and if SteamVR works… OP could just use SteamVR)

But it does show a lot of problems and solutions and things to try along the way.

Based on https://db.vronlinux.org/ (which is like protondb for VR, kinda), monado works better for VRChat, but otherwise SteamVR should honestly work just fine.

Is your issue getting it to start at all, or performance issues?

For me it wouldnt start at all in the default big picture mode and would only start in desktop mode.

I made a few tweaks to get performance tuned up when I was on the Vega64, but I don’t remember what all I did there.

edit: Also, I’m the KDE desktop (i wanted my HTPC/VRPC to be as steamdeck similar as possible, and also I have strong anti gnome feelings).

Yeah. Valve Index.

I originally got it working on a Ryzen 1700, and Vega64. But Vega64 is old GCN architecture and it performed poorly.

I have since upgraded the VR setup to Ryzen 5950x and Radeon 6900xt, and it works quite well. I just played an hour of Beat Saber actually.

Yeah. Shrimp fedthechimney allafraidhoe. A classic pasta to go with rice.

Interesting. I use Bazzite for my SteamVR setup. Though I do have to swap to desktop mode for VR, otherwise works great (I have a steamdeck build installed because HTPC, so it boots to big picture, but the desktop mode still works).

Hydroxyl acid? That sounds even more dangerous than hydrogen hydroxide, which is a notoriously dangerous base!

I could see not caring. but actively being proud of it is weird. And asmongold has a lot in common with pewdiepie in that his fans skew heavily towards being morons who will just follow what he says.

And there are plenty of people who are well known who are terrible people. Knowledge isn’t a limited resource, you don’t have to forget something to know that a person is awful. So there is no value in not knowing it.

With the “general public” yes. Within the computing and gaming space, he’s pretty influential. I realize that “linuxmemes” isn’t about gaming, so there are a lot of non-gamers here but he is a well known name in his niche, which is PC gaming, which is a very relevant niche. It’s not like he’s one of the 1000 youtubers and runs a makeup channel.

Yes, he isn’t universally well known. But given how well known he is in the niche, and how relevant the niche is, and therefore how likely his niche is to translate into linux users or linux haters, it’s extremely relevant to the discussion.

And I’m not saying “everyone should know who Asmongold is!” anyway. I’m merely saying “he’s not irrelevant, and bragging about being out of touch doesn’t make you cool”.
