I’ve noticed that my windows always takes a minute to launch when it wants to sell me on either its surveillance bullshit or force windows 11 on me. And because I don’t launch windows that often, that is basically every time. Otherwise it’s quite fast at 10-15 seconds.
Linux usually boots in around 10 seconds (including loading the DE after login), though sometimes it gets stuck for a bit after login for some reason.
Me, a H-VN enjoyer: Why not both?
Many herbivore species are also opporturnistic omnivores, so it could be argued just as much that it’s about biological specialization.
Pc players being fewer depends very much on the game, the ea sports games are notoriously console heavy to the point where often the features of the pc version were heavily outdated. Iirc battlefield’s playerbase was historically always more PC focused. And I don’t think it’s fair to complain that pc games run like shit because they don’t cap the graphics.
If you’re just gonna play a few games a year, consoles are without a doubt cheaper right now though. They also don’t have the ability to play any of the games I regularly play, but that, like the playerbase, is entirely dependent on the individual.
Still mostly only good as a guessing guideline because there’s no real system, just etymological patterns, but yea you can guess more than 33% for sure.
I care a decent amount. I won’t spend insane amounts on equipment because I simply don’t hear a quality difference, but both my pairs of headphones were around 250€. I can honestly tolerate most 10€ trash for a bit with some eq adjustment but it’s just noticably worse.
I often spend half an hour or even two hours in the evening just listening to music when I was supposed to just go to sleep. In that case I usually click from youtube video to youtube video, I find that MVs can also add a lot to the experience. Otherwise I mainly have one playlist that I put most songs I like into, if they fit the general vibe of what I want for my generalist playlist.
I always feel a need to share the music I love with ppl but everyone I know either doesn’t care or follows the same artists anyway. So since you asked… (this is gonna be mostly japanese, and mostly metal)
Probably my current favorite artist is Release Hallucination, japanese prog metal with jazz influences. The drum patterns tickle my brain in the right way. Sisters is probably my favorite from them.
There’s also Utsu-P, who imo is an incredible songwriter and lyricist who in his newer songs does all sorts of metal genre fusions, usually but not always with vocaloid vocals. Musically, I love Gorgon the most (best genre description would be… trap metalcore with a speedcore breakdown?). I also always find myself coming back to An Alien’s I Love You because I just find the song very touching, in spite of my japanese being very basic and thus only understanding like a fifth of it without subtitles. He also has a pretty cool band called Ohayo Gozaimasu.
Then there’s this great german metalcore band (very poppy and catchy sound, but high variety in song styles and meaningful lyrics) called Future Palace, we’re on lemmy so I’ll just link the song that’s not-so-subtly about the palestinian genocide.
Then there’s kobaryo who does just about every EDM genre under various aliases, though his main thing is speedcore. His entire latest album is just great - all the credited featured artists are just him under different aliases.
Honorable mention to the little subcommunity of metal vtubers doing mostly covers, many of which I like better than the original, such as this cover of make them suffer’s song contraband which was apparently my most listened to song last year.
Last but not least my favorite singer is also a Vtuber, by the name of Roca Rourin, who does regular karaoke streams that I enjoy so much I try to schedule other things around so I don’t miss them, and then I just listen to her sing for an hour. She does a lot of 80s songs, classic rock, and jazz, but also a little bit of everything. By nature of them being karaoke streams there’s often a little scuff, but imo that just adds to the charm and my god the voice on this woman. This is a good example of one of those. She also has a great cover of The Pretender.
I could continue but this would go on forever lol.
In spite of the obvious genre bias, I enjoy a wide variety of music when I’m in the mood for it. The only hugely popular genre I can’t get into is hip hop/rap, but even that has a few exceptions.
I forgot where but some time in the last 3 hours I read that the goal for steamOS is to be supported on all PCs, though it’s an ongoing effort.
Powershell is nice for scripting things close to the (windows) OS. But (granted I’m not exactly some PS wizard, I’ve just used it a few times for minor things at work) I agree it often feels unnecessarily verbose and cumbersome. For example the fact that you need to define a whole function to alias even just a single command with parameters. And just overall I find it very hard to read (though maybe that’s on the guy that did the powershell stuff before me, I don’t have great sample size here).
But I’ll take what I can get.

It’s incredible how many people fail to understand the simple “significantly inhibits normal functioning” of diagnostic criteria. I really don’t think it’s a hard concept yet here we are.
For us they just make the people that click them do some online training. I don’t think anyone learns anything during that but I suspect not having to do the training serves as a great incentive to be careful.
It doesn’t help though that we’ve had multiple cases of obvious phishing mails everyone just deleted that were followed up by a “no those mails were legit please click the link” by HR…
I tend to just hop in the shower for a sec.
But all of that is only really an option at home, anywhere else it’s eternal wiping.
The order thing is very debatable tbh, I generally agree that going in origin culture order is better (easier to keep consistent imo), but there are at least a lot of japanese artists that swap the name order when romanized. (And I don’t think I’d care if someone swapped my name order when speaking chinese).
Missing the “Sau” (no idea if Sau Lan is one name romanized as two words or two names) feels like a product of ignorance and pretty disrespectful though, yea.
How popular is non-american football in the US? I know its been getting more popular recently, but unlike most of europe and south america, it’s far from the #1 sport.
I have no doubt the canadian and mexican games (and the finals) will be sold out, but with these prices, the state of the US economy, and no sane person wanting to travel there, I wouldn’t be super surprised if some games in the US weren’t. After all, if you’re not from NA, you can just go to the next one 4 years later and it’s probably much cheaper.
Sadly it won’t be the ghost stadiums it would deserve though.
I don’t hate on gnome because people can use what they want but coming from windows the UX was so unintuitive i had to switch to a different session without a DE to get rid of gnome. I’m sure it’s learnable and then depending on your preferences pretty great.
I also don’t think plasma is messy though. To me there’s nothing worse than a system hiding options out of the assumption that I don’t need them (see also: windows over time, which is a big part of why I made the switch to linux in the first place).
Well, it’s about maximum profit. So if they could make more, it’s insane that they wouldn’t. But it might be that profit in the short term was higher by not spending as much money on R&D, and if there’s one thing stock markets are great at it’s incentivizing short term profit over long term viability.
With school i complained about how shit it was and how much I hate going there because it felt so fucking pointless (also the bullying), at least with work I get something done and I get paid and the people are nice so I only complain about all the things going wrong but overall it’s alright
The original audio after mastering is also still called a master, but I haven’t seen anyone complain about that. And that (as well as the same meaning for other media) is the word that the branch name master came from, so etymology can’t really be an argument there (though I also think etymology is terrible reasoning for renaming something in general).
There’s also the possibility of having genuinely good intent, but still speaking entirely from your own conjecture of what might make others uncomfortable.
Ultimately, you should always talk to the people actually affected and take action based on that. But anyone can and should start the initiative when they think something is harmful.
Which is what ML is extremely good at. Humans too, but we can’t process data quickly enough.
I think there’d be reasonable worry about false positives though. Imagine you just have some weird playstyle (maybe due to disability) that you got really good at, so the AI classifies you as abnormal and flags you as a cheater. Much less likely when you’re looking for the software instead.
Also it’s probably just way more expensive.
I still think the real solution to cheaters has to be to legally go after the cheat sellers. The one time I would like for laws to protect some capitalist interests (since cheaters definitely hurt the bottom line of mp game publishers) it’s not happening.
