  • manjaro really is a trap.

  • i went mint, debian, opensuse, manjaro, endeavour, aeon. my hacker aspirations were tempered by permanently breaking my awesomewm configuration.

  • do not track was a "pweeease mister serwer uwu"-sorta move. there was no legal basis for it, and there was no technical backing. it would have been simple easy for browsers to just not send stuff that can be tracked (just check the eff panopticon site for how much superfluous stuff is just sent by the browser with every request), but instead the industry opted for the easier "here's all my stuff just as it was, and a little note that says 'don't look'". do not track was always a joke.

  • when endeavour switched over to wayland my session just completely stopped working. couldn't get past the login screen. had to reinstall xorg from tty. not touching that again until i get new hardware.

  • it's very slow and esoteric, it was criticised for it even at the time. if you approach it as a demonstration of pre-digital film techniques, and try to figure out how things were done, it may hold your attention longer. if you're into that sort of thing.

  • that's why i added the last paragraph. onelive, stadia and airconsole all tcied doing exclusives.

  • 2001 a space odyssey's effects are completely practical, which make sense since it came out before the first moon landing. it's all physical models and cut-out photographs being moved in stop-motion, or huge rotating sets to simulate centrifugal gravity, or colored film being spun over a set of rollers.

    personally i think it's worth it to watch it for the effects alone, which is just as well because its influence is such that it has been eclipsed story-wise by things that came after it and so feels a bit shallow.

  • This probably is already a thing

    correct. it's called cloud gaming. examples of services include AirConsole, Amazon Luna, PlayStation Plus, Xbox Cloud, GeForce Now, InstantAction, G-cluster, Gaikai, GameFly, Google Stadia, Jump, Kalydo, LiquidSky, OnLive, Playcast and PSNow.

    most of them have shut down. the ones that still exist are either offering streaming games as a value-add to other services, or marketing themselves as value-adds for other companies to include in their own product.

    most of these platforms tried attracting devs for exclusives, but it's such a small niche that there's no way to actually make any money.

  • you gotta remember most people on here are not estonian so you gotta make it easy for the folks who need to insert extra letters just to not do a diphthong

  • jaragge

  • could even make the electric truck road separate from the normal road, for safety.

  • persimmon to do what exactly?

  • if you cum, snort, and puff at the same time, your body goes into recovery mode

  • ai doomerism is the belief that they are not only intelligent, but also evil. the lesswrong crowd.

  • since the pH scale is logarithmic-1 you'd need to be veeeery particular about the amount of lemon. i think you need 100l water to neutralize 1ml lemon juice

  • why walk in mud and grieve when you can walk on ice and have a happy?

  • the moment-to-moment gameplay and movement of jc3 is so much better that you basically can't go back to 2. it's a lot more freeform and fast, and the world is much more dynamic (even though it's a lot smaller and less varied). the dlcs are also fun, with brand new mechanics compared to the base game.

    the crime is that the story is ass and the characters are not memorable. the spectacle of the final boss battle of jc2 is repeated within the first two hours of 3, but then the final boss of 3 is just a single helicopter that you can dispatch just as easy as any other in the game.

    i've 100%ed them both. 3 is about 1/4th of the content of 2.
