It may not have all the mods Minecraft does, but it supports various games like VoxelLibre and Minecraft which also supports mods and both provide actual gameplay not just testing.

Exile is also available in luanti and its brutal survival.

Ubuntu? Its a can’t make up its mind what it is trying to be while always becoming a crashy mess. When it first came out I remember trying it and immediately broke it.

The last time I installed it recently it had issues out of the box.

If you graph the prices of beef each year from 1960 to today, the prices goes up except for 2 years. One was the result of over supply do to coming out of the late 80’s after reducing herds and getting back to normal coupled with a reduction in demand (less beef in the 80’s - healthy diet ideas), and the second was a lower demand from foreign markets coupled with cheaper feed.

But the trend is clear: its going up, and it isnt going to come back down, at least not for long.

The angle of the chart gets steeper each decade as well.

At all the schools my kids went to… Nobody cares. The kids really don’t give a shit what other kids are wearing. In some ways it’s bizarre given that wasn’t the case when I was a kid. But in many ways it’s great. I rarely ever hear of bullying, kids just are themselves.

Of course thats woke, because they actually speak to the kids and tell them to consider others and will not tolerate intolerance. So I expect schools like these are few and far between.

I find this complaint very strange. It’s a dot. It helps people find what they installed.

But if this person doesn’t need it, how would they ever see it? Most power users I know never even look in the menu, so they would never know there is a dot in the first place.

It is worth mentioning that in the case of krupps they made a lot of money selling arms in WWI and they purchased newspapers to sell the war to increase profits.

Own all the newspapers… Propaganda… Seems familiar.

I agree with your points but it is extremely frustrating that they also are killing the science to try and have better predictions and not even bothering with managing climate change which will make these kind of events more frequent and more devastating. I am sure you already know but it is so damn frustrating. People are dying and it only is going to get worse.

When they say WhatsApp I gotta think that would be the same for any third party conversation app right? I would never use whatsapp, and I would hope any security minded person wouldnt either. But I do rely on an opensource sms launcher and signal. I would assume the framework would make it mess with those too.

This sucks. Horribly sucks. I can’t stand apple products, they cant do anything. I know that even having google play on my android device means I am fucked anyways, but this is a new low from google.

Feels weird to buy a google pixel, only to be able to expect it is the best way to not have google on it. (grapheneos or similar).

I liked the other attachment that fits around mason jar lids. Creates a tight seal, the jar does not crush the contents, and you no longer need plastic bags. Also, the glass jar can go straight into the fridge.

LOL.

Inst this simply KDEs activities?

Thanks for the article. That is interesting. It also is confusing that they wrote “Lidar is not the only thing that can damage camera sensors – lasers are just as harmful.” Uh…Lidar is Laser.

But it is in so many fields, even devices with cameras. Apple has been adding Lidar to their phones/tablets for 5 years now. Why is this an issue now? Like I said, there is a TON of Lidar in use everyday.

Can it really cause damage? Lidar is flown constantly, and all of googles street view had been ran with lidar. That’s millions of miles of data collection and I haven’t heard of any negative effects. I get that it is a laser, but is duration and distance must be big factors.

Not saying you are wrong, just looking to quanitfy the risks.

Well about that. The FCC and the EU came to an agreement about use of Galileo gps.

This means the opposite can be true, and they can require a push to revoke Galileo. Or the EU could revoke the gps as well. The license can effectively stop most people from having gps even Galileo. Yes you could avoid the update, try and use the signals anyways, but for the majority of people, a simple update and its gone.

At least in the states anyways.

I’ve said this before, first weather. Then GPS. That is going to suck. A lot of people probably don’t remember when GPS was obfuscated. We could go back to that, or completely scrambled without a key.

Bullshit and just stopped.

You could argue they campaigned on being tough on immigration, but deportation instead of path to citizenship where possible is the difference.

That is part of the outrage: Biden granted asylum, biden laid out a framework to get to citizenship, and trumps taking that away, arresting at court hearings of people who had been given a chance.

I am not a fan of biden, but what you are saying is bullshit and a major distraction.

Two desktops and three laptops, they all work great. My biggest ongoing issue, and it is fair to say it is a problem, is VR. I have not tried recently, but that is one area that was smooth to set up in windows and I havent had luck in Linux.

when introducing new people to Linux it’s best to acknowledge there may be some tinkering and adaptation needed to get things working as they should.

Depends on what “should” means. My printer for example will not work with windows. It works fine with linux. So… that really is a printer driver issue. No matter which one it works with.

As for the OS out of the box, everything works on a fresh install of either - although linux is far more loaded with ready to go software, and windows requires you to add it. And any of the software you add to either can cause breakages, that is computing.

I noticed over the years that Linux works fairly well for people who did not start with windows first. Both have learning curves, but habits are habits.

I am going to take my linux laptop for an example: 2 years. No tinkering. There is nothing to do, it just works.

My other laptop (windows): damn thing need tinkering all the time: turn off this, regedit that, just to get the nagware and crap out. Won’t allow remote desktop with the license, needs drivers to be updated, software that came with it is bloatware garbage.

Okular can be set to do that, but it doesnt have a scroll bar, which you might not like. Firefox can do that as well, but I concede that browser PDF viewers are not ideal.

Yes mounting is different, but that is not a Linux issue. Same as when you boot into windows, but an EXT formatted drive will not appear AND it will never mount. Windows helpful choice is “unknown” and offer to format. These are just OS differences, not breakages.

Cinnamon might be part of your problem with shortcuts…

Yeah SMB shares can be tricky. I have issues with them in Windows as well, not linux specifically.

I am not saying linux is perfect. All computers rely on a person being able to deal with them. I just find it much more stable then windows ever was. You add bottles and Lutris into the mix, and now it is a third party software issue: just like plenty of software in windows as well.
