Yeah. I’m not sure that this has changed much.
I suspect that was a large part of what drove the excitement for something like Valve’s Proton. It was supposed to make it easier for studios to make games available across platforms, because they would. “just work” without having to put special effort in.
This sounds like the same sort of “We found out that the cost is not actually 0, and we want out. We can’t say that though, so it’s your fault”
They may well be lying about their reasons/justifications, I don’t have any way to know one way or the other.
This just isn’t a new thing. Companies fave been blaming the high cost of supporting the relatively small number of users on an “alternative” OS for a very long time. Unfortunately, I think that as long as desktop Linux is in the single or low double digits of percentage of users, this is something we’re going to keep hearing.
A company is unlikely to do a thing if it’s cheaper to not do the thing.
Assuming that there really is significant cheating on Linux clients, this can just be the company saying that there are not enough users to make development of more robust anti-cheat cost effective.
This is basically the same argument that software and hardware vendors have used for decades for why they won’t support Linux
I get a page showing “Error establishing a database connection”
That’s the reality of public school teacher pay all over the country.
The national average is under $70k
Not a big gamer, myself, but it seems like Valve has done a lot of work to make many (most?) Steam games run well under Linux.
Drivers have come a long way, and a lot of things just work, but it can definitely depend on what hardware is in your system.
I think they mean that she is taking the fall for the “unknown” person she “bought” the gun from.
Implying that she was holding the weapon for someone
Yes, it’s 34 district crimes. That’s why it’s 34 charges.
My understanding is that in white collar crimes like these, the number of charges does not bear on whether the sentence includes jail time for a defendant with no prior criminal history. Unless the dollar amount is exorbitant; but in this case I don’t think anybody made any money.
My understanding is that these sorts of white collar crimes don’t normally result in jail time for defendants with no previous criminal record, in New York state courts.
I get the feeling that the number of counts doesn’t really matter here, because they are not really unique crimes. My understanding is that they brought 34 charges because they had 34 documents they thought they could prove in court were fraudulent, but it is materialy the same crime (deliberately mischaracterizing the nature of the payment)
I’ve also seen the top image blurred in my feed, but additional images on the post show unblurred
It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.
In this case, it’s valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote
I think that “wipes out” here is referring to the lead that Trump had in the polls previously. All the states went from a clear lead for Trump over Biden, to basically even, with one exception showing a clear lead.
I think that it suggests a competitive race, rather than one side coasting to victory. It is hard to draw concrete conclusions still, but the clear lead is definitely gone
I don’t have any experience with this printer, but am similarly curious about it’s viability as a “budget Voron”
Regarding upgradabilty, I saw this video recently with an attempt to turn it into a multi-tool head printer. It’s a work in progress, but I thought it was interesting
That may well be the point. Dell gets the head count reduction, improving the bottom line, without the headline about mass layoffs
I think that the answer to this depends on the audience and the topic or nature of the discussion.
I prefer precise, technical language if the audience has experience in the topic. You can save a lot of time by not explaining things that the readers should, reasonably know.
I think simpler language is appropriate for a more general audience or higher level discussion.
It can be challenging to find the right balance on a forum, like this, where you don’t necessarily know who the audience is.
I wonder if that is a regional name for it. I don’t think I ever knew a generic name for it, growing up on the west coast. I always knew it as Magic Shell, which I think is a brand name
I’m not sure that there needs to be a any grand cosmic reason for life to exist. Life could just be an accident of random events in our little corner of the universe.
Natural selection offers an explanation for how life changes across generations in response to challenges in the environment. It does not require a plan, just that the outcome of a chaotic process (reproduction) creates mutations that produce a slight edge, or at least no reduction in reproductive efficiency.
Fountain pens are not a normal sight in US schools. I was an adult before I realized that they were a thing that still exist, and are even used.
Dbus attempts to provide a standardized system for inter process communication (IPC) without the complexity of managing individual connections between each and every process that needs to share certain types of data.
That’s the National Defense Sevice Medal
It is awarded for service during a time of war. It was awarded for periods that included the War on Terror, Vietnam, and Korea
