I was saving it for you.

I am in India. I know people that live in farm areas or have lived there in their childhood (farmer relatives).
I’m pretty sure their culture is older than just 320 years, but they didn’t go around defecating on or next to the streets, which I can say because the streets were not full of human shit. Although there would be the occasional dog shit and then large piles of sun-dried cow shit (which would also be much farther away from the streets).

Any civilisation that survives through enough disease outbreaks would have at least a rudimentary understanding of environmental cleanliness. If people are dirtying places despite that, then I consider that a reflection of accumulated malice.

So either way, it make it better to support Linux over MS Windows.

But also Linux, where it’s typical to upstream hardware support and rely on existing ecosystems rather than release addon drivers or niche supporting apps.

Still possible though, right?
It does afterall support out of tree device drivers now.

It still feels weird though.
Farm peasants over here, know to shit in farm areas where it would actually serve as manure, rather than right next to the street.
I would also assume they actually dig before and cover later.

err… to “shit” of course.?

So I suppose you are not doing pacman -S endless-sky endless-sky-high-dpi?

I would assume they rank the stuff by vote-count.

In this case, it really doesn’t have to do with education.

Nah it’s fine now. We have rebindings right in the compositor. I can just use the space-key instead.

Considering that I am including a snake’s movements in “walking” in this context, I’d say that’s good enough.
Honestly though, considering 2/3 of the planet surface (and increasing) is water, one would think there would be some answer to this, but I suppose it has something to do with the physics of it…

• There is a lot of vertical space in the oceans and it is possible for some, to escape to depths that other species cannot.
• As compared to that, fast vertical movement in a land area will mostly include air-time, meaning gliding will give an advantage by reducing fall damage.
• There is a sharp drop in the buoyancy from water to air, meaning that anyone wanting to move to air to escape underwater threats will require much lower body densities, which in turn make it harder to have long deep-water time and there are more resources underwater anyway

So I think that the air-time of flying-fish is optimised more than enough for such a purpose and that the birds that we see diving to get food are more from the evolutionary route of - land animals that can fly, adapting to get food from deeper into the water.

No one made them put an AI guard into their error message

Someone did, by being stupid, mean and inconsiderate to the creators.

Yes, because the checkout page gets revenue ⇒ the bottom line.

The points you say are the things Valve is doing extra to provide value to the customer.
The point I am saying, is the first thing that anyone working for money needs to care about.

steampowered checkout page:

• loads in a reasonable time
• has the same colour theme as the rest of the website

Epic checkout page:

• even the in-app checkout page is slower than the Steam web checkout page
  • is slow not only before loading but also after clicking the ‘place order’ button
• White colour on dark theme website/app

The best way to get a shitty review out of me is to make fight scenes and not care about what you studied in high-school kinematics.
Stop a character mid-air without stopping time -> -1.
It was not for quick-time dialogue event, but just randomly stopped the character in air -> -5.

So while it needs to get out to breathe, it can still swim underwater for as long as it has breath. Nice.
However, those feet look like they can be used to walk.

While EGS increases its minimum Windows # requirements, Steam client is already available on Linux.
Although I would prefer being able to build it myself rather than keeping it in Firejail

Epic would charge Steam’s fees if they had Steam’s marketshare.

while at the same time providing worse service.
Ever noticed the difference between Epic checkout vs Steam checkout? And that is the part one would want to make the best, because that’s what gets the money in.

I get I am not the average gamer, but even if I find a game on Steam, I tend to check their website too.
Specially for games I like, I try getting the GoG version despite Steam providing regional pricing, which tends to be 0.2x

Now if any of Steam’s contracts is preventing GoG or others from providing regional pricing, that’s a point worth considering.
But Steam is providing a much better game finding experience than Epic and others (although GoG seems to be doing well too, recently), so despite me not being affected by the network effect, I do see some value in Steam.

From what I see, Steam does give value to gamers. Whether it’s worth 30% of the game’s price or lesser, depends upon information that I don’t know. But if someone provides greater value than the competitors, should they not get more money in return?

There’s an easier way to put this:
“Question everything.”

recycling the heat from AI data centers

I’d say the govts should make it mandatory for anyone making a large enough data centre, to create a heat transfer infrastructure to nearby localities. The locals can then buy hot water (metered) via pipelines from the local govt and that can go towards paying for the power extension tax that the data centre has to pay.
Oh yes, there needs to be a power extension tax first, which is levied on anyone setting up data centres to use for wasteful stuff like AI, Crypto-mining etc. Of course, that only matters if they are taking power from the grid and/or building near populated areas (any amount of population).
