Sure, we don’t build with stone anymore, but there are an incredibly large amount of buildings and monuments built with stone that would last thousands of years, not merely hundreds. That’s really good news about Mt Rushmore though, I’m glad that eyesore won’t be around for many years to come.

I use norah.the.princess@example.com and it genuinely brings a smile to a bunch of people’s faces. As well, after the Norah dot, I sometimes get people ask “lastname” and it always makes me smile to correct them :3

Additionally our entire modern civilization would have basically no trace left after a couple hundred years, estimated.

Oh yeah, Mount Rushmore is totally just gonna be weathered away in a couple hundred years, and the pyramids have had extensive preservation efforts over the millennia…

Please engage your critical thinking skills.

Ooo that’s awesome to hear. Now I’ve gotta figure out scripting my external displays to disable on connect and reenable on disconnect.

That doesn’t mean it’s good they’re deprecating cards to do it. They were still selling GT1030s new until relatively recently, and the GTX1080 is a perfectly workable card.

If you think open versions are cool, how about them just open-sourcing the Maxwell & Pascal drivers? Oh, that’s right, they won’t because the “special sauce” is in the driver, not the card BIOS like it is for the Turing & up families.

What’s TDE?

I’m almost certain Fortnite doesn’t work, Epic are really anti-Linux for some reason.

That’s cool as well, but that doesn’t fix the store in gamemode, which is via the in-built browser in Steam. I just don’t browse the store via anything other than the app itself, or the mobile app.

Green means go.

Yeah, I’ve got the same plugin, but I don’t think it shows on the store, just in the library.

Yeah definitely agree with this statement, with the one caveat being competitive multiplayer as anti-cheat is still such a mess. I think if Linux grows to at least 5% of gamers, we’ll start to see developers take it more seriously. As it stands, a lot of those games have the developers specifically breaking anti-cheat on Linux.

Star Trucker has some stuttering that GE-Proton9-27 solves for me. Pacific Drive also had some crashing issues, played through that on GE-Proton9-25. It doesn’t come up heaps, but I’m glad for GE-Proton when it does.

I think there has always been more than one meaning to it. To me it’s also meant “requires a full reinstall/restore to get working again, either through normal means, or using a special tool/method”. Like, full loss of data but not completely broken.

Anything less than that though, like a system freeze that only requires a hard reset, definitely doesn’t count.

I wish they* would add the ProtonDB rating to the store pages now when you’re browsing from the Linux client (or as an account setting). The SteamOS compatibility rating just doesn’t tell the whole story.

I mean, you can* absolutely also set it per game. I only switch over to GE-Proton if there’s an issue with a specific game.

Thanks, added!

Clearly I just trust my abilities to disable a devices internet access in my router more than you. I also know that my risk factor is really low, because I’m not a journalist or a politician.

As well, I only buy smart devices that I can lock down, brands like LIFX & Shelly that have cloud services, but don’t require you to connect to them for the device to function over LAN.

So, first off, smart devices shouldn’t need to connect to the internet, only the local network. I have everything connected to Home Assistant, and then for access outside the house I have HA connected to the internet, meaning I only have one point I need to secure.

On your second point, I think the poster above was talking about having both an in-built as well as wifi-accessible external sensor. It makes it possible to have a more powerful dehumidifier in one space, running to a lower humidity than needed based off what’s going on in other rooms. Then have that air circulated by other fans, etc.

It would be a lot more difficult to hide a backdoor on a bare ESP device, than a proprietary Tuya one, just putting that out there. Regardless, I still block internet access from my ESPHome devices, because I don’t want to feel like I need to constantly be on top of updates, that can cause things to break at times. I do them every couple months when I have the time to sit down and make sure everything’s still working, or roll it back where it’s not.

This is a really weak take? Some quick research shows that typical average super fund performance over the last 32 years is 5.4% greater than CPI. Compulsory contributions are also only compulsory on the part of employers, and employees have still benefited from comparatively high wage growth amongst our peers.

Like, could the system and wage growth have been and continue to be better? Sure. But did he do a good job of preemptively managing the aging population that so many countries struggle with now; of forcing employers to be accountable to paying their employees well into retirement? Definitely. And is he talking out of his arse now? Absolutely.
