When i dump the detergent in i also dump a cupful of dirt in there too, just to make the machine work harder. That way the clothes come out cleaner.

He definitely meant it both ways, as he also says in the song “fuck n***as, get money” and half the lyrics are about women cheating on him or running around and him being like “fuck you bitch”

I think maybe you’re misunderstanding the whole ancient greek thing. You keep saying that since they had only one word for blue and green that they ‘saw them the same’, but that doesnt at all mean that their brains processed the input of blue and green colors identically. I mean just look at how we define colours. What exact shade is red? Theres hundreds or thousands of different colours that would all fit into most people’s definition of ‘red’ and that likely differs from person to person. Just because the greeks referred to different shades of blue and green with the same overarching word, doesnt mean they couldnt distinguish the difference at all. Calling multiple shades of a color a single namr doesn’t prevent us from seeing the differences between those shades which seems to be what you’re inferring.

No its true actually. Vladimir (the impaler) Putin and President Xi got together and had a secret meeting all about how Wikipedia is the greatest threat to their total dictatorship of Earth, because its the only thing keeping the American citizens so free and open minded and a place where people can go to learn about forbidden topics like Tank Girl and Winnie the Pooh. Putin got mad because he read the article about Grizzly bears and it said he’d probably die if he tried to wrestle one, so he spun up his special government botnet from his elite hacker force and activated his army of Tankie sleeper agents on Lemmy to make an attack on the Freedom of Information Act (thats a special law that Biden made to try to protect wikipedia and keep free speech safe).

this is a joke about foreign influence on Lemmy, not about Wikipedia itself. I like wikipedia

I have a feeling OP’s “friends” wont necessarily even be aware hes connected the device to their network. It sounds to me like he wants something he can hide places to take advantage of unsecured or public networks without having to sit there with his laptop doing whatever shady shit he has planned.

The conspiracist in me wonders if this is intentional as the result of a deal with other publishers. Maybe its just that ‘the devs didnt get around to it’ but honestly with how simple it should be to release things on GOG i more wonder if it isnt suppression.

Yeah that’s fair, and im not defending the practice, it just made me think of some games that Ive seen that have multiple executables, usually with an inbuilt launcher that i have to bypass. Or when games used to come with a dx11 and dx12 executable. Personally i find that in itself super sloppy and annoying as well, but it makes a kind of lazy sense to just apply it to all the game files, in that its just one less thing to have to change if you make an alteration to the name of the executable file or add a new executable for whatever reason. Just one less possible failure point. But yeah I can see how its definitely not best practice.

No im saying theres no such thing as a “GOG” version afaik. Its just the game files. What features differentiate a ‘GOG’ version from the same game acquired anywhere else? Their whole business model is offering games without any DRM or storefront added features, you dont even need to use their launcher, you can just download the game files directly. Whereas ‘Steam’ versions have all sorts of code added to be compatible with Steam.

What exactly is the distinction between acting tactically and strategically? This doesnt even make sense.

I mean i assume thats just easier to deal with updates where a game has multiple exe files that may or may not change names. Assuming everything in the directory is assumed to be safe, is there any downside to applying it to everything, aside from opening up the possibility of a user accidentally trying to execute like a texture file or something which I assume just wouldnt work? I actually don’t know and im curious.

How would a game “not work” on GOG? isnt their whole thing that they give you just the game files with no DRM or whatever?

Well that sounds like theres a problem with the charging circuit/battery readout. It shouldnt be reading as charged if its not, and afaik, it should still charge even if the deck is off.

Thats funny. My girlfriend calls those “the duck” as in ‘i had to get assaulted by the duck again at that appointment’. I suppose reindeer works too though.

I dont think this is normal behaviour, maybe theres a problem with your dock? I leave mine docked and plugged in for weeks at a time, and when i have picked it up to play handheld its always been at 90-95%. Never had it be below 90 after being plugged into the dock.

I know pal i was continuing it on.

Maybe Turdeau should have fucking followed through on election reform like he promised then.

Its not giving up and surrendering for the NDP to not support thr liberals. Unconditionally supporting them no matter what because of fear of the conservatives would be surrendering.

In my experience Windows takes way more troubleshooting and time debugging and fixing things than linux does. Theres a reason people use linux for critical servers, it tends to be extremely reliable once everything is set up.

At that point why even bother with the air at all, we could just send electrical signals. Or even light.

I mean the article says that they will have only been up there for 10 months, and most space station missions last 6 months up to a year, so we have plenty of other examples of people who have been up there as long or longer.
