I’ve always been upset by the phrase “head over heels”, as rationally it should be “heels over head”. In fact, as late as the 17th century (using AD time here because that’s what most people understand), it in fact was “heels over head”. At some point, it just got switched around, and now we’re left with a phrase that makes no sense.

Oh no! Guess I’ll just have to kiss and lick it better :3

Omg I did the same thing lol

I can do arithmetic without a calculator, it just takes me a lot longer. Simple addition/subtraction/multiplication/division? It can sometimes take me what feels like an "embarrassingly long* amount of time. Multivariable calculus though? I breeze right through it (it’s the basic arithmetic involved with it that takes me most of the time lol)

The title refers to the fact that there is no grace period. They repeatedly call this fact out and elaborate on why it is so immensely cruel. In fact, it’s kinda what the entire article is about. News is basically always clickbait, but this title actually matches the article quite well. Yes, it still has the clickbait format, but it’s also not a false statement.

It’s genocide, it truly is. The deaths of these children are their fault. Can no one else see their bloodstained hands?

The problem hasn’t been compatibility for a long time, it was developers intentionally blacklisting Linux in their anticheat. Turns out a lot of people hate their customers having freedom in their software

It’s one of the 3 things highlighted in red, I don’t know how to help you there. I’m not repeating a slur. Look up words you don’t understand; it’s really not hard to find.

I feel it’s a red flag that you don’t find the blatantly transphobic slur a “problematic statement”, let alone the belittlement of other project members and defense of “abusing” people, as he put it. Not to mention he’s been banned from other projects for violating their codes of conduct.

These screenshots don’t do justice to his aggressive behavior and mistreatment of other project maintainers, including his own team.

Being borderline, I feel called out lol

Every. Damn. Time.

Thanks! I’ve saved this so I can check it out later. I’m interested in learning about how to use and package flatpaks

Why are a bunch of words meaninglessly bolded? It makes it really hard for me to read :(

This is remedied for me by the clipboard history in the system tray in KDE. I can have a lot of things in my clipboard and access any one of them whenever I want

Is this not a thing in Windows? It’s such a wonderful convenience, and I swear I’ve always used it, but I guess I haven’t touched Windows in well over a decade at this point, so I can’t say I remember.

I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB, and I’ve never had a problem with speed, really. The only issues I have with speed are when I do things from outside my home network, which is a limitation from my ISP, not my hardware.

EDIT: Just checked with a quick dd and it seems my drive’s sequential write speed is about 250MB/s, far exceeding USB 2.0. It’s not a great SSD, so that’s a pretty expected value, tbh.

Someone more knowledgeable about the older gen Pis could probably help you a lot more than I could. I have a Pi 4b 8GB for my server, so that’s gonna be a bit more capable than what you’ve got, but I imagine you can probably still find lots to do with it! Setting up a basic headless server should be no problem at all.

I have an entire home server running on my pi; it’s just going to depend on what model you have and what you want to do with it. Personally, I run my pi from an SSD kept in a USB drive enclosure because microSD cards suck and I want my system to be responsive. I host websites and ssh into it all the time for a great number of random tasks. I have a custom Fedora install, but Raspberry Pi OS or whatever they switched the name to after Raspbian is probably fine for most people. It’s based on Debian, or at least is was many years ago when I last saw anything about it.

Honestly, my recommendation for new users who are into gaming is Bazzite. Just install everything through the software store and it just works. Well, everything that’s available as a flatpak at least. Steam comes preinstalled, as do all the drivers (among some other various gaming-oriented things like kernel optimizations and Lutris), so it’s basically just install and done. The software store, Bazaar, will find basically anything a normal user needs. The nice thing about atonic distros is that you generally don’t need to do anything through the command line,as installs are perfectly consistent across all computers (so no random things breaking in the background without someone else noticing and either filing a bug report for you in the beta, or fixing the issue outright). After over a decade of Linux use, I’ve never found an easier distro. I honestly have switched to it as my main distro because I love Fedora, and the atomic features are nice (and Bazzite is just a little nicer for my use case than Kinoite).

When I set someone up with Bazzite, I just tell them to install everything through the software store, and I rarely get questions other than “how do I install this software that isn’t available on Linux”, which I usually meet with a recommendation for an alternative, or if it’s really critical, I’ll have them install through Bottles or something. I always mention the “no Adobe or Autodesk” caveot before they install, so I never really get questions about that except for “well, what would you recommend I use instead?”

As to answer your questions directly:

1. It is very common, so you can find Bazzite specific answers,
2. As far as I’ve used it (which is a couple years now) things never break, so finding solutions that work in other distros doesn’t tend to apply for me (except for when I want to make custom scripts like when I bound a mouse button to hard mute and unmute my mic, though I just had to look up generic Pipewire stuff)
3. Everything installs as a flatpak, so selinux is essentially completely unnoticed. I’ve never had a single issue with selinux and I’m a power user. I’ve used Fedora-based distros for many years and only ever encountered selinux issues on my server, and that was for low-level processes that aren’t relevant to desktop use (for instance, setting up NUT to automatically power off all devices on my network during a power outage when the UPS battery is low)

For those interested, ignoring the contradictory presentation of the riddle (as the knights themselves would not say the riddle since one always lies and one always tells the truth), the solution is simple. Ask the knights what the other knight would answer when asked what door is correct, and they will both say which path not to go to. Thus you pick the path that neither Knight says!

Logic:

Liar: Will say the wrong option, as they're being asked which door the truth telling knight would say (and they will lie about what the truth-teller would say)
------------------------------------------
Truth-teller: Will say the wrong option, as they're being asked which door the liar would say (and they'll tell the truth about that)

NOTE: This can be expanded to a case with n doors by asking the knights to provide all the options that the other knight could say, and each will provide n-1 options, so you’d pick the one option that neither knight says. It is possible the liar may not list all options, but the truth-teller would, so the problem could still be worked out regardless (and you’d know which knight is the liar in that case).
