I agree with you actually. As usual, text conversations don't really convey the entirety of the thought/concept, and lead to misunderstandings.

I think you missed the point. If you build all of those things you mentioned in a similar compact fashion you still have lots of room for nature and more efficiency when compared to sprawl.

Depends on your requirements. The faiphone 5 has 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough for what I'm doing with a smartphone.

Oh course I totally understand what you are talking about though, for many users (mobile gamers, people who don't mind google/apple telemetry, etc.) 8GB is a bare minimum.

As is trumptard.

Absolutely a concern. But calls build rapport, which makes people more likely to help you.

So that's the question you always need to be asking: do I need this in writing? If not, then a call is enough. If you do, then even if you do call, insist on getting the info in writing. Sometimes this means writing the email yourself, and asking them to confirm.

Amazing run! I'm still working on ascending once with each class with 2 challenges, these sorts of runs are out of my league.

Warm salt water. That makes sure that the water is not pulling salt out of your cells. Doing it without salt is painful and dangerous. Also the salt should be without iodine added.

I don't have any irritation, but I'm a big robust guy, so perhaps milage may vary.

And sure, I would assume that the sinuses are self-cleaning to an extent, but they are also designed to be a filter to keep junk out of our lungs. The way I see it, I'm just cleaning the filter out before I go to bed.

Neti Pots. I clean our my sinuses every night before bed, and I rarely get sick. Of course it's not a miracle cure, but it's great at preventing a viral infection before it starts.

Nice.

I agree about that today, but it wasn't always so easy to install linux for noobs as it is now.

It may be easy to forget, but Ubuntu was doing "easy jnstall" better than moat linux distros for a long time. I bet there are a lot of non-programmer-linux-daily-driver folks out there that got started on ubuntu. I'm one of them.

You cab make it work with beserker subclass and lots of upgrades. In that case it does make you into a huge tank, and it's a viable choice. Otherwise it isn't worth it.

Well that's the internet for ya: I agree with you, of course we can work on more than one thing at a time, and right, we don't work in government, so we should personally take responsibility for what we can do ourselves.

Feels to me like we are really on the same page, we're juat arguing over details.

It shouldn't, but it does. We do not live in a perfect world.

When doctors at the emergency room have to make decisions about who to treat first, they follow guidelines like this one. Those help save lives, by making sure that those patients who need the most urgent care get it first.

In the same way, elevating LGBT issues above more pressing needs of the general population doesn't help anyone, not even LGBT people.

How does gender-affirming care help someone who is homeless and jobless with no healthcare? Is proper pronoun awareness really more important than environmental protection, or combating political corruption?

Just to be clear, I 100% agree that trans rights are human rights. It is an important issue, and deserves attention. But what about black lives matter? Isn't that important anymore? Are we still on that bandwagon, or did it get old? (I realize I'm getting snarky here, my apologies)

Addressing the unnecessary suffering of minority groups of all kinds is important. But putting them above issues that are critical to the survival of our society as a whole hurts everyone, even the people that these policies are designed to help.

Wow. It never ceases to amaze me that there is always something new to learn about this game.

Oh wow, yeah, thanks for the tip.

Thanks, that's a good point.

I care about privacy for the same reason you do. Actually I don't care about my personal privacy bacause I've always been careful to not share too much with big tech companies, but I refuse to use products from amazon, meta, alphabet, apple, or microsoft (outside of work hardware/software) because of how they abuse their position of power over the poor.

Game: Baldur's Gate

Bazzite Ich bin auch da und ich bin auch nicht so der Typ der sich so gut auskennt wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe.

Holy shit my keyboard knows me well. Lol.

That's a valid criticism.

On the other side: Pay for a year at once and get 3600 searches/year. The rollover also doesn't happen, but the effect is drastically reduced. Also get a discount overall.

I'm not saying that kagi is perfect, but fuck google sideways. Eat the rich. Pay for the product or you are the product.

Gehen wir m Baden Baden baden?

Wow cool! I'm definitely going to offer up games from bundles when I have duplicates. Nice to find this!

I'd say the appeal is that you get an "almost" tier-5 weapon that has lower strength requirements, and you generally find it earlier. This makes it attractive to dump scrolls of enchantment into it and have your end-game weapon relatively soon.

The other use is the dualist, as someone else mentioned. Some of the enchantments are extremely OP with an upgraded runic blade.

For example, bazzite. I basically skipped the gamecube for various boring reasons, so I'm excited to revisit that era, maybe find some nice games to play with my kids.

Women are not good for the price of the the the the the the....

Haha, I wouldn't expect anything less. But I don't need to install the plugin...well...maybe I'll just try it out for a few...danmit.

How about obsidian.md? It's based on markdown, so edit mode has lots of keybindings, and there are all sorts of javascript plugins to add functionality.

Agreed. Personal privacy is important, everyone should be able to decide for themselves what they want to have public/private.

Like mamba #5?

Well that's an opinion I xan get behind, placebos are certainly more powerful than common sense would dictate.

In addition to rhe other advice, I'd add what helped me the most: install arch from scratch.

Use an older PC you have lying around, or just a VM. Use the installation guide on the arch wiki (or a video on feetube if you prefer to listen to a human explain stuff) and just learn as you go.

Germans value privacy to a degree that seems extreme to others. Google maps had a really hard time getting started there, for example. And cash is still widely used because it cannot be traced like card transactions.

Indeed. Proton for the win yet again.

Blind trial and error, mostly. Making the game folder read-only was the real "duct-tape" part, it occued to me to do that after steam kept "updating" the game and breaking my solution.

This certainly isn't of the same caliber as some of these other comments, but I found it to be fitting to the topic.

Last year I was having problems getting the game stellaris working on arch. (I use bazzite now, btw) My solution was the following:

1. download the game via steam.
2. switch it to use proton
3. switch it back to linux version
4. use the terminal to make the entire game folder read-only, so that steam couldn't touch the game anymore and screw it up.
5. add the exicutable to PATH
6. start the game via terminal

If any one of those step was left out, it didn't work. I'm no linux expert, so I didn't have the skills to actuality find the real problem.

Outward is made to be played by two players. It's a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.

Glad I could help.

The survival elements are certainly a big part of rhe game, but if you want to reduce thier impact, there are a few mods that help.

I use a meditation mod, which alows you to slowly regen all three major stats (hp, stamina, mana) by sitting and doing nothing. This makes a HUGE difference in that you then only need potions for healing during fights, you never need to worry about having items to heal up.

Another one links all your stashes (one in each city where you buy a house) so that you don't have to carry everything with you al the time.

Another one (that I don't use) is improved inventory. It allows for sending items from your backpack directly to your stash. So again, you don't have to worry so much about how to carry loot back from dungeons, etc.

There's still a bit of inventory management, and both illnesses and environmental factors still need to be dealt with, but that's it.

I'm playing Outward, I'm loving the world and the artwork, and how challenging the combat is. It's an entirely different sort of RPG, and super-refreshing.

I also occasionally play dwarf fortress, and mech arena on iOS when I have a short break.
