  • Not on purpose in the way you are suggesting... he tried it all on his own in earnest, but made a dumb mistake not reading the prompt carefully enough or trying to understand it. But, he only got into that situation because of an error on Pop OS! maintainers' part. It was an unknown issue at the time until he uncovered it. OCAU thread that discussed the issue at the time

  • I love the fact that Ubuntu, Redhat and SUSE are competing for long term enterprise support. The philosophy "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rings true, Linux enterprise deployment business make more revenue and the update backports and security backport fixes help the wider community too.

  • Venezuelans who supported Trump now feel cheated: ‘They used us to win votes’

  • Right, but the difference is that foreign language translators are putting their own reputation on the line on representing the original speaker's words accurately, because local media will use the translator's account to make the story. When the original speaker is incoherent, translators have to convey what they are saying in a short time, otherwise they will sound stupid.

    “You know, the press is always on me because I say this,” Trump began. “Has anyone seen Silence of the Lambs? The late great Hannibal Lecter. He’d love to have you for dinner. That’s insane asylums, they’re emptying out their insane asylums.”

    My translation: 「記者らはいつもこれに追いかけてる、」トランプは述べた。「誰かは羊たちの沈黙をみたか？昔あの偉大だったハンニバル•レクター。夕食に誘ってくれる人だ。病院から狂人を全員放り出してる。」

    Leaving aside that the sentences are barely relevant to one another, you can't even begin get in the translation that Trump doesn't appear to understand the difference between an insane asylum and a refugee claim of asylum. So translators just have to say: they're letting out insane people from institutions.

    I don't have tabs on Spanish, but I can confirm, the Japanese language has a tough time conveying how batshit insane Trump's speeches are. It means they end up sanewashing him all the time. This article is about Trump's UN ramble this year.

    Title reads: "Trump strongly criticizes UN, says climate change measures are 'fraudulent' in his general debate speech"

    It's been a long time problem since his first term: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japan-interpreters-donald-trump-translate-struggle-us-president-white-house-speech-talking-style-a7596986.html

  • Bazzite is the new Arch

    Jump

  • I tried it out and challenged myself not to touch the terminal to fix anything for as long as I could, to see if it is a truly ready-out-of-the-box experience.

    It is actually very intuitive for gaming, what makes it feel more suited than most distros for me is that flatpak apps that you don't have installed show up in the start menu, ready to add if you need them. Other OSs are leaner and cleaner but you'd have to know the package name.

    I managed to get everything started, games and stuff including minor tweaks, and the first time I needed to use the terminal was to work out how to get some fan control working. I didn't succeed in setting it up. So I took away from that experience that low level hardware OS tasks are harder to access in Bazzite.

  • Hands-On with Steam Machine: Valve's New PC/Console Hybrid

  • I've done all of that on my Nintendo 3DS... I'm being obtuse with that, but what you listed is not the Steam Deck's primary intended purposes either, gaming is its primary use and Valve's not being nefarious omitting secondary uses.

    As a converse example: the fact you could play games on a Tesla vehicle, doesn't mean Elon Musk has to call it a games console car.

  • If not a games console, what is the Steam Deck? Calling it just any ol' personal computer would be ignoring the two halves of a gaming controller fused to either side of it.

    What I love about Valve is you can tell they are clearly taking stuff they learned from their earlier products (Deck, Index, Controller, Machine) to combine it and make it better.

  • This is Why Cycling is Dangerous in America

    Jump

  • I'll beg to differ... Stanley Park in Vancouver is an example. Stanley Park Drive is an automobile path but running alongside it is the Seawall, a bike and separated pedestrian path. In many sections the path is too narrow to pass, due to a cliff face. They've improved it somewhat in the last couple years, but I think very fast riders still prefer going on the car path so that they don't have to wait to pass people on rented bikes going slowly trying to simply take in the park.

    I do think fast cyclists should be able to select their risk level and speed, though speed limits should be no more than 40km/h (25mph) to even begin considering a road to be a safe path for cycling.
