    Didn't know that the dreamcast version was superior. I'll have to check that out.

    I could be wrong but I don't think that the decomp/recomp tools are available for Dreamcast the way they are for n64. Like if I want a game to run natively on Linux without an emulator whike doing things like raytracing then it seems like the n64 games would be where I'd have to start.

    Unless there are decomp/recomp tools for the dreamcast?

    I've been digging a trench for overflow water from my rain storage to a nearby swale. I found a clay deposit and have been storing any clumps I dig up so I can process into something I can make into fermentation jars later. I totally had this thought, knowing full well that my father won't understand anything about what I'm doing, my ancient homos get me.

    I like this idea in concept. However in most cases failure is mostly due to power loss. So unless these seprate systems have different power sources it might not protect from catastrophy that much.

    As some one who does aquaponics at home. Here are some things ive learned which you might consider.

    • There is a minimum physical footprint that these systems use, especially if you are trying to conserve power. So it might make more sense to max out those systems in that minimum footprint.
    • Different fish can have very different temperature and pH requirements.
    • The pH and temp that the fish like isn't always what a plant wants.
    • some fish have much greater ranges of pH and temp requirements than others.
    • if indoors, it's easy for a pest to establish. Like aphids will trive without ladybugs or green lacewings.
    • Vegetables grown in aquaponic systems simply do not taste as good as vegetables grown in soil. Often they are lacking flavor.
    • something about the water in an aquaponic system is excellent for propagation from plant cuttings.

    For these reasons, I use aquaponics more as a backup and complimentary grow system to my no till regenative garden. Having an indoor system is great in the winter if you want leafy greens or to proprpgate trees for the next season.

    But, you know if a business changes to dynamic pricing and their next quarterly numbers shows that the vast majority of people didn't swallow it, and revenue is hugely down, they would undo it in a second.

    You would be right if we assume that

    1. The people leading these companies are making informed data driven decisions.
    2. Companies majorly made money through selling goods/services

    However once a company is a certain size or in the correct position it's more about showing a growth potential to investors, then actually proffiting from selling goods/services. Investors is really how these companies make money now. I'm not an economist so I'm not sure if this is still technically capitalism when the majority of profits come straight from investors but to me it sounds much more like a ponzi scheme.

    My point being is that in a best case scenario, a nationwide boycott could take place and a company makes $0 gross income. But they can still profit if they can convince their investors that they are taking the right steps to position themselves in "this new economy". Now realistically someone is still going to buy their products and any boycott effort will just have minor effects. The absolute worst case scenario for anyone actually in charge of making decisions like this at a large company is they get a golden parachute and hop over to another place.

    Just like you said, why would they turn down free money?

    To be fair, Finn is a throwaway character despite decent acting. Not important to the plot really at all. The same can be said for most of the characters in the movie.

    Moreover, the whole movie is something that should be thrown away, but not forgotten. It needs to be archived as an entry in the museum of the failures of Disney.

Outside of radio and ad-hoc networks however, I'm not sure what other options would be feasible for the average person that wanted to prepare for something like this.

    Extrapolating a bit, here are the next steps

    • screens in places where people might look at an ad will all have built in image recognition and eye-tracking.
    • an algorithm/model will calculate the number of people within view and an acceptable level of eyes on screen per minute (or some other time increment tbd by an industry leading marketing psychologist) depending on the task they are doing.
    • the algorithm/model can also calculate the local demographic
    • the short format video content can be easily tweaked to improve engagement. If the racing crash clips aren't generating enough engagement, then it can try indoor cat clips.
    • when the eye to screen levels are at or above minimum advertising levels, display an ad that would best match the target demographic that the advertiser set. The ad contents will also match the actions of the local population.

    Normally I would agree with you. But they had these 50" screens in every direction except for down. I was literally staring at the floor in an attempt not to look at them. The swirling colorful "boarders" of the short format square video was eye catching enough. But with the video changing scenes every 5 seconds it was a similar effect to the Eisenstein editing style in Battleship Potemkin. The screens were screaming at you to stare at it.

    It was also just total garbage content, the type of stuff I left reddit for. It was just a step above what Americans of the future watched in Idiocracy. It was truly a bizarre experience for me and also one of the most "boomer" moments I've had. Although out of everyone else in the bar, only the boomers were happily watching the short format video.

    For me it's that I don't want short form video anywhere near my view.

    I went to a bar for a drink the other day. They had TVs all over the place which I normally don't care for but it looked like golf or something I could just ignore. After I ordered my drink I realized how wrong was.

    It was actually some weird short form video TV channel. They croped the 16:9 screen into a 1:1 square with moving neon lines in the "empty space" where there was no video. Each video was about 5 seconds long and showed brainless content of people using a Rube Goldburg machine or doing card tricks and other such nonsense.

    Once I realized what was happening it was too late as I got my drink and I felt compelled to finish it and pay. I tried to ignore the 5+ screens in my view but they were too big and eye-catching to really ignore. I kept catching myself looking at one of the screens after a minute or so. I felt like I was getting serotonin raped between ads.

    Eventually I moved to sit by a window and stare at a tree. I'll never go back to a bar like that again.

    I'm on EndeavourOS with an Nvidia gpu. I've not had to do anything extra for the the version of proton that comes with steam to work besides install the os with the Nvidia proprietary drivers. And then running eos-update --aur --nvidia

    I did notice that I got a lot of screen tearing if using Wayland and that more recent versions of proton didn't work if either Force Composition Pipeline or Force Full Composition Pipeline were enabled; which should have fixed the screentearing so I just use x11 for now.

    There are some things I did to make my experience better however. Like installing an proton-ge. Here is a list of what I installed.

    nvidia-dkms
    nvidia-settings
    libva-nvidia-driver # required by vlc to play mkv files with nvidia gpu
    nvidia-tweaks # https://github.com/ventureoo/nvidia-tweaks
    lib32-nvidia-utils
    gamemode
    proton-ge-custom-bin
    lib32-libudev0-shim # fixes Steam runtime's super old 32 bit version of libnm
    lib32-libnm # required if using systemd 253.5-2 or newer
    

    I would also install nvidia-dracut-hook if you are using both Nvidia and dracut. Dracut is the default on recent versions on endeavorOS.

    For proton ge, I also added myself to the games group with

    sudo usermod $USER -a -G games
    

    I also like to prepend the following to my games launch options in steam

    gamemoderun PROTON\_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr PROTON\_ENABLE\_NVAPI=1 PROTON\_HIDE\_NVIDIA\_GPU=0 VK\_ICD\_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia\_icd.json VKD3D\_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr VKD3D\_DISABLE\_EXTENSIONS=VK\_KHR\_present\_id,VK\_KHR\_present\_wait VKD3D\_FEATURE\_LEVEL=12\_1 VKD3D\_SHADER\_MODEL=6\_6
    

    And I set proton-ge as my default proton version on the steam options.

    If I want to run windows, I only run it on a VM with hardware passthrough or on a totally different machine since physically unseating my Linux M.2 from the motherboard is too much hassle and I don't want to move it to a PCIe card.

    A lot if what we as a society have settled on is also because of economy at scale logic. There are many things that are delicious but won't keep well outside of a small window in specific conditions. Or have less yeild than common alternatives. And sadly many clients simply don't want to try new things.

    I suggest for anyone that can, try your hand at fermentation, especially if you have room for a garden. There is so much you can do from making your own koji to lacto-fermenting Nasturtium berries. There are many new flavours for you to discover and share with friends.

    Another idea is to learn more about local foraging and seeking out local Mycological societies to learn about mushrooms in your area.

Like something PG shouldn't be recommended after watching an R and especially not vice versa. I guess it becomes complex quickly if you want to add other rating systems to the mix.
