Nah, they should rather build statues for people like the guy who shot the healthcare CEO, which Luigi did not do

NixOS as the first Linux distro is an interesting choice, definitely not bad, but probably not what most people would go for

Sorry if I sound dumb, but which kind of program would be the one to display the output of text based interfaces, also called terminal applications, if not a terminal?

I was just about to write that they should delete system32 to be able to make one and during my research I stumbled upon https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/29711-delete-system32 which I had totally forgotten

Time to sell Tesla to xAI

"You don’t buy from Starbucks because of social issues.

I don’t buy from Starbucks because their coffee is bad.

We are not the same."

Okay, that sucks. Yeah, I bought a refurbished business device

Then the “avoid at all costs” like Dell

Must have gotten lucky then. Bought a used Dell about one and a half years ago. Everything worked out of the box

It’s obviously Biden’s and Obama’s fault, they made the stocks go so high in the first place! Not only does that mean they could buy fewer, but it also means they fall more!

I don’t think his statement is true though. If https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1ce7z19/gaming_on_linux_ep131_ntsync_vs_fsync_nobara_39/l1ho8od/ is not manipulated in any way, games with lots of these calls still get big improvements with ntsync over fsync (about 30% in this particular case, which is a massive boost). So while nobody can rule out that his statement may be true on average or in general, there are still cases where ntsync offers a tangible advantage – be it improved FPS or the fact that the game runs at all.

Edit: in the video that the thread is about, fsync didn’t beat ntsync in a single one (or I missed it when jumping through it). In the best one, they were exactly tied. Sure, the difference wasn’t really big, but again there are titles not working with fsync.

However, I want to stress that I’m not trying to talk about fsync. It’s a good solution that significantly improved performance. But ntsync is, from everything I’ve seen, almost always better; how much depends on the case, and it never seems to be worse.

Yes, sorry

Any linking against GPL software requires you to also release your source code under GPL. ALGPL allows you to link to it dynamically without relicensing, but as explained, there are platforms where dynamic linking isn’t an option, which means these libraries can’t be used if one doesn’t want to provide ALGPL licensed source code of their own product.

fsync isn’t faster than ntsync, it’s merely a workaround to match Linux to Windows synchronization primitives. From ntsync’s official description:

It exists because implementation in user-space, using existing tools, cannot match Windows performance while offering accurate semantics.

So without this, you either have a huge perfomance hit in case of an accurate implementation or you have good performance, but might run into edge cases where software doesn’t work well or at all because it’s not accurate (see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2922 for examples)

Mephisto is the least scary part of the dungeon, it’s the dolls that can really fuck you up, and blinking into an unlucky stunlock

That’s more hours per week than I have to work.

But you can always do more. I have a childhood friend who, when some leagues were released, averaged about 14 hours per day for Path of Exile for two weeks straight. Like 180 hours playtime in two weeks.

Another friend of mine should be at about 8000 hours of Rocket League by now on his main account only. That’s over the game’s full lifespan though.

The CD wasn’t really suited to be played Mobile (though I did have a portable CD player). It should rather be compared to vinyl in that regard.

I think tapes are great because no portable audio player ever came close to the Walkman regarding its cultural impact. The fact that anyone could record tapes opened up a lot of creative options.

For properly mastered music to be enjoyed at home on a potentially expensive setup, the CD was very close to perfect.

the average package quality is currently closer to that of the AUR than the official repos of other distros.

Care to elaborate? I don’t remember packages not working, but if anything, they’re not building; which is basically the reverse of what happens at other distributions where sometimes, breakage during building isn’t noticed because the packages aren’t getting rebuilt when a dependency or the compiler toolchain changes.

While the full number might be inflated, it still has one of the most complete official repositories.

Exit polls showed the AfD did well among younger voters, winning in the 25-34 age bracket with 22% …

My source (https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/bundestagswahl-2025-ergebnisse-so-hat-deutschland-gewaehlt-aktuelle-daten-a-6ace92df-43cc-48de-b183-2c98c7c19c2f) says it was 24% there, and unfortunately, that wasn’t their strongest voting age bracket. That was rather mine (35-44). Oh well

It’s a hypothetical scenario anyways because Ukraine being a NATO member would mean NATO boots on ground in Ukraine, which the US (and in fairness a lot of other NATO countries, but for different reasons) want to avoid. But it calls the bluff on the unfounded dictator accusations that Russia and some puppets peddle.
