Isn’t it though? If my choice is to pay 200% of the value of the property annually or to not have insurance, why would I opt to have insurance? The best they could do is pay out less than I paid them.

If you don’t cap prices on something the insurer is expecting to be destroyed, wouldn’t they just set the price of the policy to be the price of the thing it insures, effectively making it worthless?

You’d pay about $12 on mass transit ($2.90 PATH and $2.90 MTA in each direction), and the reasons for the government to incentivize one versus the other are numerous, not the least of which are safety, noise, air quality, and efficiency.

It only takes one asshole in a crowded subway car to ruin it for everyone. I like to read on the subway, but they’re basically telling me that if I want to drown out their tiktok videos, I need to bring something with me with my own audio to listen to over headphones, just to not hear them.

It’s quite useful in the one part of the country where the service is good: the Northeast Corridor. It makes traveling by plane downright stupid in a lot of cases. If only more of country’s rail were even that good, which isn’t even a high bar to clear.

He’s asked all sorts of people to do all sorts of terrible things, and though some stood in his way, usually tendering their resignation in doing so, I think that’s reason enough to take it very seriously. There are supporters of his who absolutely seriously suggest instating him as president permanently, and with control of every branch of government, there’s opportunity to do so.

This community only believes the news when it’s bad.

Though he introduced a new rule against using a term he deems overly liberal: “cisgender.”

It’s so funny that the bias of plant based news can’t be detected by a media bias fact checker.

I’m no fan of kernel level anti cheat either, but that “capable” anti cheat still sucks. At this point, I’m convinced that good anti cheat is actually impossible, so you may as well just not put it in the kernel. There are so many ways to cheat that an anti cheat will never detect.

The cloud save support is a beta feature. When I tried it with Alone in the Dark earlier this year, it didn’t work.

I can give it a try. LTS is from the Linux Foundation then, rather than Canonical?

24.04 is an LTS distro release. Is my kernel not the LTS kernel? It’s 6.8.0-39-generic, according to neofetch.

That’s awesome. I live in an apartment that’s only a smidge more than 600 sqft, so that’s a good size for one person or a couple.

They didn’t drop it. You didn’t read the article.

There are signs those efforts might be helping buyers get in the door: The median sales price of existing homes jumped to $426,900 in June, according to the National Association of Realtors, while the median price of new homes in June was $417,300, according to the US Census Bureau.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try, probably over the weekend with Nobara.

EDIT: In case anyone finds this later, I just tested this with Nobara 40 and had a similar result. Nobara was on kernel 6.10 compared to my 6.8. The game ran fine from beginning to end on SteamOS with a custom kernel branched off of 6.1.52. I’m still operating under the assumption that this is a mesa bug. I don’t have another machine to test this with and rule out hardware issues, but this is the information I collected, and besides, it’s the only game exhibiting problems for me at this point in time.

EDIT to that EDIT: The New Order didn’t run perfectly from beginning to end, I just remembered. It crashed back to the SteamOS menu once and hard froze much like my desktop once, but even that freeze was gracefully caught well enough that I could still use the Steam menu to force quit the program, unlike my experience on desktop.

I didn’t mean to imply that denser housing was being built illegally, only that the availability of it is a product of zoning codes forbidding it in most places. I don’t expect dollars per square foot to scale linearly in either case, and in my personal experience, when I ran the numbers about 7 years ago, moving from suburbia to a dense city ended up costing me almost exactly the same, because I no longer need a car here. You think differently about how much space you actually need when your social space is no longer a back yard or a living room and is instead a park or a nearby bar or something.

I understand the nature of troubleshooting, but I don’t think testing a 45 GB game is feasible off of a live distro, and any way to test it on my hardware outside of logs is a whole lot of work to get one game working; I don’t have a spare drive around either. I just figured these errors would mean something to someone who could take action on it to make a better Proton for everyone. I haven’t checked the kernel yet, but my version of mesa matches the latest stable version in your link.

EDIT: I did find this link that sounds like it’s a mesa bug. I’m on the same major version but a different minor version.

I’m not in a position to test on more than just these two machines/distros. Once upon a time, I tried switching to Fedora, but some of the behaviors were not to my liking, so I went back to Kubuntu.

Thanks. I’ll give it a go. I don’t think I’m convinced it’s a hardware issue, since that error says something about permissions and faulty IDs, but what do I know? Couldn’t hurt to check.
