I forgot where but some time in the last 3 hours I read that the goal for steamOS is to be supported on all PCs, though it’s an ongoing effort.

Arch is hard if you don’t like reading documentation and doing basic troubleshooting. Which is perfectly valid.

If you don’t mind that or even enjoy learning things that way, arch is the nicest experience possible.

Powershell is nice for scripting things close to the (windows) OS. But (granted I’m not exactly some PS wizard, I’ve just used it a few times for minor things at work) I agree it often feels unnecessarily verbose and cumbersome. For example the fact that you need to define a whole function to alias even just a single command with parameters. And just overall I find it very hard to read (though maybe that’s on the guy that did the powershell stuff before me, I don’t have great sample size here).

But I’ll take what I can get.

Don’t (most) transmen inject/otherwise take testosterone? That would be doping if a cis man did it. So I do think there’s an argument there (not really any better than the argument against transwomen in women’s sports, in both cases imo hormone levels just need to be monitored and you can have pretty much equal competition).

I also think at the top level it’s not entirely invalid to say you don’t want people with heavily modified bodies competing. Anything that isn’t either the global top level or professional I find it completely ridiculous though, the level is just so wildly variant that any tiny advantage potentially gained from that is negligible anyway.

But also everything I know about the science behind it tells me trans athletes are completely fine (in trans womens case after some minimum time or HRT) because as it turns out hormones kinda determine everything about your body.

Tbh I don’t really get why though. Clearly he’s good at getting people to listen, but… why?

Hitler was similar (except I’d say better looking) but listening to his speeches I at least get how he had crowds cheering. Trump could say things I agree with and I’d still not want to listen to him.

I’ve thought about this a bunch. The christian god being omnipotent and benevolent is contradictory to the bible and also just the state of the world. So what if there actually is some god (or multiple) but these entities are far from omnipotent, really can’t meddle all that much and maybe don’t really care in the first place.

I don’t think it’s true (even if it seems more plausible than any religion actually being completely right) but it’s just funny to me to imagine that all religions could just be the result of some higher dimensional beings playing with our planet out of boredom, and humans just ascribed far too much power to them.

It is because no one present likely has anything to do with the decision, and even if someone is actively restraining you there’s a reasonable amount of resistance and while that includes mild violence it does not include shooting someone or similar. Unless you really need to be somewhere reacting to that with extreme violence is completely unhinged.

Maybe mild violence is what you meant, but that can easily be read differently.

The one way gates are standard, the only exit being ticket scan isn’t. The change is supposedly only the one way gates, so they’re half truthing to pretend it’s normal.

I first looked up porn online around that age and never had that kind of image of sex at any point. No idea if that’s due to my personality, the fact that I read a lot of people’s perspectives online which told me porn is unrealistic, or just that I had plenty of idea what sex was about at 13 because of course I had questions before then and any answer I got emphasized the part where both parties involved enjoy it and love each other.

Maybe a bit of all of them. But I really think that while trying to restrict porn access for minors a little more than an “are you 18” pop-up is probably a good thing, it needs to be without violating any adult’s privacy and the main way to prevent damage is and always will be better education.

Maybe because in many other countries this just isn’t an issue and everyone returns their cart. Even when they don’t have a deposit (though most do)

I do this so much at work with random german words, because we have so many specific names for our features, some of which I didn’t even know in german before working here. Others I’d know how to translate but it would be ambiguous. And our non-german speaking devs also use the software in german, so they understand.

This is why I didn’t assemble my current pc myself, and somehow no one gets it. Yes person in my circle of acquaintances that I told about the PC i got, I know it’s not hard to do, I’ve done it a few times. But I’m hella incompetent at small fiddly shit so screwing in the mainboard and placing the cpu cooler takes me half an hour each, cable management makes me want to die, and don’t even MENTION the I/O panel.

Or i can pay like 80€ to have it built and support a local business while I’m at it.

It’s incredible how many people fail to understand the simple “significantly inhibits normal functioning” of diagnostic criteria. I really don’t think it’s a hard concept yet here we are.

For us they just make the people that click them do some online training. I don’t think anyone learns anything during that but I suspect not having to do the training serves as a great incentive to be careful.

It doesn’t help though that we’ve had multiple cases of obvious phishing mails everyone just deleted that were followed up by a “no those mails were legit please click the link” by HR…

I’ll ignore how dumb the rest of this take is but she did bring her own private security. Her own security guy is the one who got the perpetrator off of her, while event security did nothing and also failed at securing the meet and greet properly in the first place.

In general con security seems to be terrible almost across the board. Absolutely not equipped for how big internet personalities have gotten, it’s mostly in “we’re just a bunch of nerds having our niche event” mode even for events where that’s decidedly no longer the case. And for twitchcon that’s not even the tiniest bit of an excuse since it’s organized by one of the largest tech companies in the world.

I thought the blob was their hands.

Also the image is very clearly made by mirroring a single image in the center. So at most the original image was AI generated because AI would not mirror that cleanly.

I tend to just hop in the shower for a sec.

But all of that is only really an option at home, anywhere else it’s eternal wiping.

The people that listen to trump speeches and think they’re anything other than batshit insane won’t find anything wrong with Mein Kampf either. From the parts I’ve seen it’s similarly incoherent, just with better grammar.

That line in particular isn’t an ideology, it’s a fact. Committing murder is illegal, but if I want to, I can still murder someone. More generally, systems can be put into place to prevent behaviour, but anyone can still try to get around them.

(I’m not a full on anarchist since it doesn’t seem practical but I do agree with many of the ideals.)
