Well no shit. He figured out that as long as you never "release" a finished game, you're not going to be blamed for "bugs" while still collecting money on in-game purchases.
There's a reason he made sure that the in-game store was perfected and ready to go long before the game was anywhere near completed. It's been the plan ever since he and his team realized that the ultimate scope was likely out of their reach.

gray ball, about the size of a typical dodge-ball.

Featureless, sexless "humanoid"; like a "suggestion of a person" or a "fuzzy shadow".
-
Round table. Nondescript. Most similar to one of those tall, small round tables you find in pubs. But again, featureless.
-
Nothing happens when the human pushes it. The human can't push it because the human has no physical form.

I think it differs a bit from province to province in Canada, but where I'm at, you can either work 8.5 hours with a half hour lunch, or 9 hours with a 1 hour lunch. It's up to the employer. 15 minute breaks are paid, but not guaranteed (if it's busy). Lunch breaks are unpaid and mandatory.

Similar to you, but I can't remember if it was a potato.
Like others, ive had things go down the wrong pipe before; everyone has. But this time it was completely blocked; no air in or out.
I live alone, so it was the scariest moment of my life. By the time I was able to dislodge it enough to breath by slamming my diaphragm down against the edge of a counter enough times, my eyesight had already begun to go dark.
Thought for sure that that was it for me right there.

JT just needs to announce who's on the list and I'm willing to bet we'll see why exactly PP doesn't want a background check done on him.

Didn't say anything about auto-updating. Just can't be bleeding edge and use proprietary drivers, that's all. Other (AMD) use the open source drivers, so they don't have that issue. And that's great. But if you use the NVIDIA propietary drivers, you can't race ahead of them.
That doesn't make the drivers bad; they work perfectly fine; and have far far far better performance than AMD. There's just the trade-off that you can't be bleeding edge when using them.
You take the good you take the bad you take them both and there you have...the facts of life.
You're argument that drivers are bad because you can't fuck around with your system without them breaking is disingenuous. If you buy a brand new Wacom tablet, and it turns out that it's too new and the Kernel doesn't support it yet, or no one has written a patch to get it working, you don't claim that Wacom is a shit company. It's just a fact of life that you have to wait for either the kernel to update or for someone to get a patch working.
But when it comes to NVIDIA...holy shit... WORST, period, COMPANY, period, EVER!!!! And that's just hypocritical.

Not an assumption.
I freely admit that it's an anecdotal fallacy in that it's based entirely on my own experience and may or may not reflect the larger reality. But it would only be an assumption if it's something that I was just guessing was true, whereas I've been around the Linux world long enough to see it first hand.

If anyone would be able to tell the difference between a "combat" knife and a fucking "pocket knife", you would think it would be the y'all quaeda brigade of Trump supporters. But the fact that they'll buy this shit up in droves despite knowing damn well it's not what it's advertised as just points to how brainwashed these cultists are.

Every generation comes of age with the opportunity to make the world (THEIR world) how they want it to be. But no generation really does. Don't like Late Stage Capitalism, then when you hit 21, vote the old men out who hold your world beholden to it. Every generation has that ability, and yet every generation seems to have less voter engagement than the last. That's on them...not the system.

Yes. It's called empathy.
You may not have a vested interest in the particular story, but the very act of someone that you care about (presumably) being excited about something should at least bring some sort of good feeling to you. When people I care about are enjoying something, it makes me happy. So while their kid pictures, or vacation pictures or whatever might not be interesting to me, the fact that they care enough about me to want to SHOW them to me, should give you a warm feeling.
That being said, no...I'm not going to dunk for not feeling that. It's different from person to person certainly; and I (and here I'm going to revert to my "old man yells at clouds" mode) feel like modern friendships are just different. We are suddenly in an age where having a few close friends has been replaced with having a tonne of "shallow" friends that you meet online. They're still "friends", but beyond texting and playing together online, you never see each other, never get closer than that. And certainly it would be a different feeling entirely. But the cadre of close friends that I made while working at Sears in 1998, and who I still talk to almost every day and see regularly, of COURSE I'm going to care.

Keeps jumping to the latest kernel instead of the latest stable release.
Blames nvidia for not keeping up...
I've been on Manjaro for years and have literally NEVER had your issue. Why, because I don't just automatically change to the latest kernel and then wonder why shit doesn't work.
After an update, it'll tell me if a newer kernel is available, I'll look at it and if its a new stable release I'll change to it with no issue because an NVIDIA update was likely included with that update.
Stop forcing early adoption on your computer and then blaming others when it fucks up your shit.

The point isn't to get Trump into the Whitehouse; it's to get Vance into the whitehouse.
Trump will legitimately kick the bucket within the next four years, guaranteed. And Vance will be the one to take his place. Vance will be the one who is suddenly an "incumbant" backed by the heritage foundation who is actually reasonably well spoken, able to debate, far smarter than Trump, and younger.
Vance wasn't "chosen" by Trump, he came as a part of the deal with the Heritage Foundation to get him elected.

He doesn't give a shit. He firmly believes that the fix is in and regardless of what happens, he'll just win with slates of fake electors from trump states, or failing that, the court. He (and his people) don't honestly believe that the actual vote means shit.
And the sad reality is is that he's got a good shot at being absolutely right about that.
This is a relatively new issue, although I don't recall any recent updates that would have caused it. When I plug in a USB stick or other device, the disk and device manager pops up twice; one is the normal one away from the edge of the screen, it goes away after about five seconds (like it should) The second, behind it, is tucked up right against the edge of the screen and does not go away until I trigger and then minimize my application launcher. Any ideas? I'm running Wayland because of the Maalit keyboard. Haven't tried to see if it duplicates it with X11.
Just a super quick question about helping to update the map locations. Between StreetComplete and Organic Maps, which is faster for submitting recommended changes to the OSM team in regards to things like business hours, etc...
I can't even imagine writing long form on a touch keyboard. But with a lot of people eschewing laptops/desktops for their mobile devices, it's really just a matter of time. edited: Missed a "T" in the title.
Just immediately reminded me of this gem from a while ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3BtmeUhOHU
I finally pulled the trigger on replacing my ChromeOS completely with Manjaro using the Mrchromebox script. Other than some glitching getting the audio to work correctly, everything runs great. For the first two years I had this chromebook (Asus 433 flip) I thought that it wasn't worth the risk and that running the debian container via Crostini was plenty good enough. Well it turns out that: - A. No...it wasn't much of a risk at all. It was actually really smooth, including disconnecting the battery to disable the hardware write protect. I honestly don't know what I was worried about. and - B. I may have thought Crostini was good enough. But man oh man...it's a night and day difference having Linux running natively on this old girl rather than through a container that had to boot up every time I use the first linux app of the day. Anyway. Just wanted to share. Been using Manjaro on pretty much all of my computers for years, and now I can take the "pretty much" away and just say "all of them."
So....I updated my Manjaro to Plasma 6. Any chance that Minimal Menu (or something similar) exists? I was not happy to find it gone. It's been a part of my system for so long that I honestly just forgot it wasn't default. Now it doesn't even show up in the widget search and I'm honestly not sure I can live without it, largely because I can choose to centre it in the display on launch rather than having to choose either a) full-screen or b) right above the icon. I can't even describe how upsetting it was to reboot after the update....
...but its robot designs were well ahead of the curve for the time.
Just popping in to post about a community to discuss FOSS creative software like GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Kdenlive, Blender, etc... https://lemmy.ca/c/open_creative I've used them all at one time or another. Since moving to FOSS as much as possible ten years ago, I've learned a LOT about most of the programs, and consider myself a near expert in some (Kdenlive, GIMP) and fairly competent in others (Blender, Scribus). I feel like having a place where anyone who uses FOSS creative software can both ask questions, share advice, and celebrate each others works, would be a nice addition to the Fediverse. So feel free to join and post your work, your questions, your news or your tips and tricks. I'm a one man band as far as modding and maintaining for now, so thanks in advance for your patience while I learn how it all works on the back end.
Anyone having a recent segmentation fault with GIMP 2.10.36 when closing a file without saving changes, the issue has been fixed and will be merged into the next point release. 2.10.38. More info here: (scroll to bottom) https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/10785
Putting this out into the community for anyone who needs it. When I was first learning video editing, I had trouble finding good *narrative* content to practice with. There was plenty of stock footage, etc... but nothing scripted where you could craft a scene between two characters. Cinestudy is the best for that. In fact I'm using footage from there for a book that I've been working on about narrative editing in Kdenlive. https://cinestudy.org/
One of the main things that I have been missing in Lemmy since moving over from *the other* site has been the myriad communities for the various bits of FOSS software I use on a regular basis. Any any given day, I'll use Kdenlive, LibreOffice, Blender, Gimp and Scribus in the course of getting work done both personally and professionally, and I kept waiting for the day when I wouldn't have to go back to the other site to keep up to date with them. While some (Blender) eventually got communities in the fediverse of their own, few are very active. So I felt that I should at least *try* to create my own in the hopes that it draws some activity. So if you're joining because of a shared love of FOSS creative software, welcome. I'm hoping to post news and other articles from around the web, as well as being a place for questions and advice from user to user. Maybe it'll be just as dead as all the others. But I hope not.
The tl;dr bot that pops up on every link to an article on Lemmy is depriving those websites of clicks, which deprives them of ad revenue. The only thing that will accomplish is forcing those websites to do the very thing that we rail about; replacing their writers with crappy A.I because they can't afford to pay for *actual* content. We rail against the enshitification of the internet, but when there's a legitimate way to fight back by giving these websites a page view/read/click etc... so that they can attract advertisers, we would rather have a bot summarize it for us, giving them nothing.
Like the title says. Just upgraded my Android phone, got it set up and working like a charm. Went to connect it to my chromebook in the chromebook settings and it won't let me get past the "sign in with your google account" screen. Keeps saying "wrong password". But not only have I been already using that account/password not only on the new Android Phone, but on my Chromebook for the last year...but I also LITERALLY copied and pasted it from my bitwarden account after it failed to take the typed password three times. I'm stumped. Help please. Thanks in advance.
I feel like I've come a long way, but still feel like I have a long way to go before I feel truly good.
Stumbling a bit on how to get some animations to work correctly, (gauges and gear doors where the local axis doesn't line up with the global axis). But making some good progress on getting the details modelled in.
Does Jerboa's search function only work for communities or am I don't something wrong? On the web, as well as other apps, a search brings up the choice between communities, users, comments and posts. Haven't been able to make that work on Jerboa.
