Yup! Replace the word “fork” with “branch” and that basically matches the workflow. Forking implies you are copying the code in its current state and going off to do your own thing, never to return (but maybe grabbing updates from time to time).

One would hope that the users submitting these PRs vetted to LLM’s output before submitting, but instead all of that work is getting shifted onto the maintainers.

The graphics have not aged well. If you want to stay close to the original experience though, there are numerous mods that swap the field models for the ones used in battle.

Well that clears up everything!

Agreed. The OP makes it sound like you should only take advice from successful people, but successful people might just be lucky. We should also be careful to not take investment advice from lottery winners.

Permissions management. I recently tried creating a new exfat partition on my external HD using the default KDE Partition Manager. When finished, I found that only the current (admin) user had write access to the drive. I tried changing this using the Dophin file explorer. It appeared to let me change these permissions through the Properties menu and the drop downs within the Permissions tab, but nothing changed after hitting OK. I was eventually able to fix it using the chown command in the terminal, but I feel like I should have been able to set this when creating the partition as well as in the file explorer.

I don’t use Netflix in my setup, but it looks like it should support HD content. I spotted a few threads where people had trouble with specific systems like Dolby Digital with Nvidia Shield, so YMMV. This guide shows the setup process for Netflix, and it’s pretty representative of what setting up other services is like: https://www.firesticktricks.com/netflix-kodi-addon.html

How technical are you and your sister? Kodi is an excellent media center app that can run on as little as a Raspberry Pi. With it, I’ve been able to use all of the major streaming apps, plus avoiding ads on YouTube to boot. Setting it up can be a bit of a pain though.

The most positive response listed was for “Dynamic difficulty adjustment” (but still, only 25% has any positive response). On one hand, that sounds okay because it’s a mostly invisible change that could smooth out a single player experience. But the more I thought about, I wondered what generative AI would be doing that isn’t already possible with normal programming logic.

Even assuming it did work, and was able to turn the balance knobs to make things easier or harder, it would destroy our common understanding of challenges in games. Being skilled enough to defeat Malenia would have no meaning if the fight was constantly rebalancing itself. People already brag about how they defeated Radhan before he was nerfed, now imagine that for every boss, oh, and there’s no objective way to know which version of the fight is the “real” one. As with everything genAI related, it turns real expressions of our humanity and turns it into meaningless mush.

I think all that would get you is a one finger raise.

There’s a lot going on in your OP, so I can’t address all of it, but to echo the other replies, I can see that you feel unsatisfied with there you are right now, and that therapy is going to be the best place to work through it long term.

People are creatures of habit, reacting to stimuli. You might see others reacting to their hobbies with more contentment, or feeling more love toward their family, and wish you had those same reactions. You can’t control what signals your body gives you, but you can control how you react to them. If you’ve decided that behaving in a certain way is important to you, act it out, even if it feels unnatural. Over time, that behavior can become a habit, and the feelings will become more genuine.

I had used Ubuntu in the past, but ran into some wifi driver issues when installing it on my new laptop, fast forward a few years, and I was ready to give Linux another go. I read that Bazzite was pre-optimized for gaming, and I figured everything else I want to do should be relatively easy in comparison.

I’ve been impressed by how clean and no nonsense the interface is, and is just a solid daily driver OS. I’ve been slowly learning the nuances of what it means to be an Atomic Desktop, but I still get confused about the proper way to install things if they can’t be found in the flatpak discovery tool. Pretty sure I have two versions of Chrome installed right now. That’s not a problem with Bazzite though, just a new-to-linux problem.

I read at the same speed that the words would be spoken aloud. My SO tells me this is quite slow. I can force myself to read faster, but I find that the color of language is lost when I don’t include the right pauses and intonations.

Rocket Knight Adventures - A mascot action/platformer featuring an opossum knight with a jetpack. The artwork and soundtrack are gorgeous, and the rocket charge attacks feel awesome. The bosses are all extremely creative and often have multiple stages, including, an evil train, a water snake that you fight while jumping between the foreground and background, a giant crab, a gradius style spaceship battle, and an epic rock-em-sock-em robot battle in giant mechs.

I have cut off most mainstream social media from my life, also starting from the Reddit exodus. What strikes me from this post is the idea you are pursuing data privacy as a way to be “superior” to other people, and not only that, you separate yourself from this person by calling them a character. I dunno, it sounds like you are doing things for the wrong reasons.

I joined the fediverse because I saw the business models of the mainstream sites becoming more and more abusive and manipulative towards their users. Staying on those platforms just felt distasteful. If others want to stay there, that’s up to them. Weilding my social media cred over others like a cudgel just isn’t a factor.

This may be a point where you reevaluate what is important to you. You’ll drive yourself crazy if you try to adhere to what every privacy advocate online tells you to do. I recommend trying to make good privacy choices. When you have energy for it. And encourage others to do the same.

This is one of those times where seeing it all written out feels redundant, but you know if those examples weren’t there people would be asking if one book cost £0.5.

My SO and I have been obsessed with this game for the past few weeks now. Unlike any other game I’ve played, this one makes you feel smart for remembering small details about things you spotted earlier, or when you look back on a note you took that is suddenly relevant.

That said, we are at a point now where we know roughly what we have to do, but we still need to slog through multiple days to get the rooms we want to appear.

We’ve built enough starting bonuses that reaching 46 isn’t really a challenge, so now the drafting just feels like a slog.

I think from here on out we’re going to be looking up hints just to get to the finish line. [Edit: spoiler tags aren’t working for me, removing them for now]

It’s Tactics o’clock somewhere!

Please don’t.

Unless there’s some context I’m missing, that business model sounds… reasonable?

What you’re describing just sounds like advertisement.

Thank you for posting this! I had a vague recollection there was something scummy about Brave, and I was surprised to see it recommended in so many of the “Which browser should I use?” posts. It’s really handy to have a chronical of bullshit like this to point to when it comes up
