TBF Linux still isn’t that great when it comes to battery life…

I’ve been using it pretty consistently for years, I achieve uptimes upwards of 60 days like this. The downside is that it takes kinda long to enter that state and there’s a chance that it fails to enter it (though it doesn’t crash, just goes to the screenlock), especially on my laptop - it refuses to go into hibernation unless I kill most webbrowser windows, especially stuff like YouTube.

And you do need a pretty large swap space; with those super long uptimes, even swap size = ram size isn’t always enough, because sometimes the swap space is actually used as swap and not just as hibernation image storage.

Really, hibernate as well? On my linux desktop and laptops, hibernate completely cuts the power. It’s definitely possible that this works differently for a handheld device, though, and I don’t think I even tried using hibernate on an ARM device.

Might be sarcasm/satire.

This is really more a discussion about how much the term “cultural appropriation” gets misused, rather than about AI, since the game devs actually seem pretty anti-AI. Assuming they aren’t just lying, and assuming the use of the term is tongue-in-cheek.

People just buy an early access game like they buy a normal game and treat it like that’s the game."

Too many times, that ends up being the truth anyway because the game doesn’t see much additional development…

TBH I’m a bit burned out from early access anyway, even if the game is actually good at 1.0 I just don’t want to play unfinished games all the time, it’s annoying to replay the first part multiple times, when it’s the type of game I’d play through exactly once (which is most games that I play).

Man, this reality sucks.

Sounds neat. KDE is a pretty important part of the Linux desktop ecosystem and lots of people are running fixed-release distros.

Yeah, keeping the needed packages around would ballon storage size if you want to do it for an entire directory of distro isos, especially if you’re interested in historic releases (e.g. for hardware compatibility). I’ve actually been experimenting with using locally saved packages lately, mostly because HDD+ethernet is about 20 times faster than downloading packages off the internet for me. It’s fine as a cache if you’re managing several instances of the same distro, but if you want to full-on install several different distros/releases off HDD you’ll need to seriously invest in storage space. Might be worth it though … hmmmmm.

sudo !!

As an insomniac, I hate bird noise …

Kinda like how insects got rarer in recent deades. I know that this is symptomatic of a very bad thing, but I sure don’t miss having a lot of insects around.

I felt so smug. Like “Welcome to my world, you assholes! How do you like being forced to live in a world that wasn’t made for people like you?!”. Unfortunately, it mostly did the opposite of teaching them more empathy.

I love that!

Might be because you’re not just spending 2-3 hours with games, but >30h, often hundreds or even thousands of hours. Making that a compelling experience that people don’t quickly get tired of is much harder.

Feels like an eternity that I last used single-letter drive names …

Know your audience. You’d think attorneys were better at that, but I guess witnesses don’t decide whether someone gets made attorney or not.

Yeah, there are actually exercises that I generally enjoy, like table tennis. Issue is getting to a place with table tennis, finding someone of somewhat comparable skill level who wants to be there at the same time and is fine playing with someone with very little stamina, not injuring myself.

I tried jogging for a couple of years, but it’s just not fun and I never felt like I got a general happiness boost out of it.

A good education? But as they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

But it can make life better in general, because endorphins are awesome.

You’re supposed to get endorphins from exercise? I must have been doing it wrong.

I think the way ozempic works should have made it pretty clear that for a lot of people, it’s really not that easy. If they (the people who say that it’s easy to lose weight) had any empathy or basic amounts of trust in science.
