I’m a technically savvy but new to Linux user who installed Mint as my primary OS about a month ago. So far I’ve used Flatpaks and AppImages without any issue and haven’t come across snaps. Would you explain the differences and why I would care about one over another?

To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.

Was that the Jones Soda one? Honestly that’s not even the weirdest flavor they have, that’s just kind of what they do.

I’m a longtime 40k fan and Rogue Trader is one of the few games that I feel like really nail the setting spot on. And I also enjoyed Owlcat’s Pathfinder games, they’ve got a strong pedigree behind them. If you’re a fan of CRPGs and Warhammer 40k you should definitely pick it up, it’s great. If you’re not a 40k fan, the game is still good, but you’ve got some homework to do if you want to understand the setting and understand the decisions you’re making - the Pathfinders might be a better fit for you.

Fuck that, I’ve finally got a full day off work for the first time in over a week and I’m stoked to sit down and play some 40k Rogue Trader. This game kicks ass.

Might hit some Deadlock tonight too.

Well said, I like that.

Thing is, you never have any clue whether the AI is telling you something even remotely true unless you go behind it and trawl through six pages of shitty SEO-optimized bullshit anyway. So you can either take its word at face value and potentially be completely wrong, or else just do the research yourself anyway and ignore the AI answer.

Personally, I choose the second. I find it to be less frustrating if I just assume the AI is wrong.

I’d be surprised if that’s still what it says. They have the edit history, they could roll it back whenever.

I guarantee with 100% certainty that that isn’t what they’re feeding into their AI, as well. You just planted a great big flagpole on all your old content that states “this account was previously run by a real live human” and probably doubled the value of the edited comments for AI training. Bots don’t have a reason to protest-edit their content.

I approve of the attitude, but spez has got us in a vice here where any attempt to damage reddit’s data store is actually just helping them. Best thing to do at this point is to scrub them from memory and just ignore them forever. Unless you’re up for some seriously large-scale corporate sabotage, that’s the best we’ve got.

Because it isn’t profitable right now. The first time you see someone successfully mine an asteroid, or sell property on the moon, is when you’ll see the space race explode again. Until then there’s not really any money out there.

They get told what to feel every night on the Fox Lies channel, they hardly need the projection. Don’t worry, Daddy Tucker will command you, just do what you’re told, like a big strong man.

Yeah but if it weren’t an option we would adapt. Commerce would not grind to a sudden halt.

Metroid Fusion was a banger. I didn’t even own a Gameboy, but my friend did, and I would trade him half my allowance every week to let me borrow it over the weekend. Many many nights were spent up late under the covers exploring BSL Station.

Yeah I’ve never had this issue with Android, not least of which is because you’re able to just root it and install whatever ROM/OS you want. If Google pushes an unstable update just wipe that shit and put Lineage on it.

Apple only gets away with it because they put their users in a walled garden where you have no choice but to receive Apple’s updates on their timeframe. I quit that life in 2006 when they updated my iPod Touch into uselessness and haven’t come across the problem again since switching to Android.

No plan or ethical framework survives contact with the shareholders.

If other people buy these, you won’t have much of a choice for much longer. I predict every auto manufacturer jumping directly onto this bandwagon if it doesn’t sink Ford’s sales (it won’t).

People like you and I are going to end up driving 2005 Honda “classic cars” 30 years past their lifespan.

The peak of their problems is the impending fall of international society into fascism and ecological collapse

But they’re not old enough to be expected to worry about that yet.

I like Loss specifically because the elders have found out how to use it but they don’t know what it means. It’s just a glyph that deals psychic damage to anyone under 40 and they don’t know why. But instead of misusing it like most other memes they don’t understand, you really can’t misuse Loss. You just stick it somewhere random and watch people scream.

Because UBI doesn’t exist in this area and the robots are already there.

If you’re capable of booting from a flash drive you’re capable of installing Mint.

If you want to keep your Windows environment around for emergencies, you might need to learn a little bit about how to partition a disk, which is about 15 minutes of learning and 5 minutes of doing. Or if you have a second hard drive installed that you want to devote to Linux you don’t even need to do the partitioning.

You wouldn’t want to, but if you want to, ask for balut.
