Then, say so. “Hey, I’m working. I really want to chat up with you but I’m currently busy. I’ll hit you up during my break.”

There, crisis adverted by the power of actually being communicative.

A constitution should have an expiry date, when redraft, amendment or ratification of articles should occur with a mandatory new congress.

Senators should not exist. Or should be two senators per state and a Congress proportional to population distribution

Parliamentary instead of a presidential federal union.

All congressional decisions should operate on the basis of consensus minus one instead of first past the post. Or at least 2/3rds minimum rule. Force the suckers to actually deliberate.

A shutdown congress is a dissolved congress, go back to voting if a functioning government can’t be made.

My rule was, if I am attending an event rarely in my life, then rental is more appropriate. But semi frequent, like one event a year, buy a black suit. It doesn’t hurt to have, and also a blue navy blazer for semi formal events were you have dress up but it is not tux formal. A black suit can be made very formal with white shirt, tie and loafers. Or more informal with fun shirts and more fashion shoes for other big events. A well tailored suit is a powerful item in the wordrobe.

OneUI has nothing to do with battery life. That’s Android side impact. After updates there are some necessary background processes that sometimes eat up some battery faster than usual for a little while. But the UI is just the pretty buttons and pictures. Updating changes the efficiency of battery use of the UI itself, but the overall management of power is handled by the system and that hat a greater impact on battery life.

Neat project, shame on the basic premise. Just remember to delete your second brain once in a while, for the health of your first one, and actually use it for something creative once in a while.

Except, it is made up. All terms are made up. It still means something different to different groups of people.

That would be super rad. But it is also the kind of things that only a tiny group of people like us enjoy tinkering with. The average computer user has no interest whatsoever on being a sysadmin. If the service is offered and neatly package, they will use and enjoy it. But Nix manages to be even more user hostile than old package manamegement style.

I was mostly joking, of course. I appreciate the use case. It’s just that 99% of people are spinning new machines once every decade. Having a reproducible setup is something of interest for a very narrow band of system managers.

I truly believe that for those who are spinning new hardware every day and need an ideal setup every time, a system image is far more practical. With much more robust tooling available. I’ve read other replies and for them all, I notice that using Universal Blue to package and deploy a system image would take a tiny fraction of the time it takes just learning Nix basic syntax. It’s so niche it seems almost not worth any of the effort to learn.

TIS-100 Sits unfinished in my library as one of the most esoteric and difficult puzzle games I’ve ever played. It breaks my mind thinking about it.

And your extraordinary result after all that is… exactly what you would’ve gotten in a few minutes downloading another distro.

Of course, the orphan crushing machine needs more children to keep working.

Why?

Because I was bored.

Yeah, so. Here’s the thing. I lived through a social security collapse in a country (not the US, obvs) with a youth boom. Trust me, having lots of bodies around did not help when the oligarchs horded all the wealth to escape hyperinflation and there was no work to go around.

It is of no use to have over half of the population in productive ages (19 - 45) if more than half of them are unemployed. And guess what, it didn’t help the elder either as they were the first casualties of a collapsed healthcare system. We had an abandoned elders crisis, along with several other crises, admittedly.

But I guess my point is, not even at a macroeconomic scale is having children any form of insurance. I know myself, as the cousin who have had to provide end of life care for more than one elder relative. Whom, I should point out, had way more children than my mom and dad, yet I was the only one with enough compassion left to care for distant relatives when their own children wouldn’t even shell out spare change to pay for food.

retirement

That is the most selfish and hateful reason to have a child. Your children are their own person, not your retirement insurance. If this is the typical breeder line of thought, no wonder there are so many abandoned elderly folk.

Sure, but Sony actually gave artists free reign to have fun and take risks with it. With the explicit intention of rejuvenating the IP. Unlike Disney which demand total risk aversion, formulaic and nostalgia based production, and no new creative thought whatsoever.

I don’t think she’s a terrible actress. More like middling. She really struggles with bad directors and poor scripts. She doesn’t have that geniality to inject original interpretation into her characters. I mean, I’ve seen analysis by body language acting specialists that say that all actors in snow white shared the same bad body language mistakes, and that’s a direction error. They were told to act that way, and they did. As is half of their job. The other half is saying “great, that was fun. But would you give me two or more takes to try something different?”

People who commission art don’t call themselves the artist. That’s the big difference. If people found out you commissioned the painting that you later told everyone at the party that you painted yourself, and that it is practically your work of art, because you gave the precise description of what you wanted to the painter, and thus you’re an artist. Then you would be the laughing stock and the butt of many jokes and japes for decades. Because that’s ridiculous.

Depends on the method used. Most motion blur in videogames look like absolute ass and adds delay to inputs.

Well implemented per object motion blur is fine. But in most games it is just lazily implemented as full screen camera motion blur, you’re lucky if you get a slider. If just bumping the mouse causes the whole screen to spasm and smear pixels randomly, then it’s better to turn it off.

I would’ve rather seen a crude Paint abomination by you than whatever that is. It would at least had some soul.

You just described SVN. It’s what we used before the invention of git. And is still used today for team projects that use complex file formats, like images, binary blobs, 3d models, that sort of stuff. It will work with any files.
