I’m not (and won’t ever be) advocating for rape, but I do have to admit I’m curious what would happen to the views of the men pushing this in India if their wives ever forced them into non-consensual sex.
…did we read two different articles? The only link I see is to Mozilla’s own blog, explaining their choices in a relatively positive way. I’ve seen the effect you pointed out a lot, I just don’t see it here.
When this is the case it’s nearly always a missing library the game (or steam?) didn’t declare as required, ime. If you start the game from the terminal you can usually figure out which library it is and get it up and running, tho it’s usually easier to just use proton
It’s more getting chopped in the ankles than running over feet ime (still shouldn’t be common, but kids are dumb)
I don’t recognize him either, but from the references in the other comments I’m assuming it’s vanilla ice
I like to pick a fun project, pick a language I don’t know / wanna learn better, and then just go for it. Don’t be discouraged if somebody’s already made it - nothing says your learning project has to be useful in the real world, tho it’s kinda nice if you think of something that can be. If your project seems intimidatingly hard, remember the programmer workflow of breaking it down into manageable pieces and tackling those. If it doesn’t seem hard enough to teach you anything, I sometimes like to write it without using any external code or libraries (or a minimum of them; if it’s something like a GUI program I’ll use direct vulkan bindings instead of like Qt). This is also one of the few areas I get some use out of LLMs, cuz bullying ChatGPT or a local equivalent into giving me huge and tailored lists of program ideas can be really helpful. Either way my main advice is just to pick something that interests you and have fun with it; things don’t have to be worthwhile to other people to be worthwhile to you.
That’s what I want to believe, but the beer doesn’t really fit my mental image of that situation lol
I don’t know if I’m more concerned about the couple selling, or whoever’s buying
Samsung in particular has “smart” monitors, so for some of them the answer is unironically yes
Glad to hear that! You might have some luck trying different proton versions with Deadlock (proton-ge is my goto) or checking protondb for anyone else’s results?
For you and/or anyone else whose instance might be defederated from lemmynsfw, here’s @Bigfish’s comment:
Re: your second question, I’m not at my pc rn so can’t give full details, but I’m running plasma on Wayland in arch using a nvidia card (3080) and everything’s flawless since the 555 driver update with explicit sync. Only thing that comes to mind is checking to see if you’ve set the nvidia-drm modeset=1 kernel parameter?
Also seconding @Bigfish’s suggestion about heat, try watching your temps while you game maybe? I’d also watch ram usage just in case something’s got a memory leak and is pushing you into swap.

I read this as a preemptive response, like with a silent “inb4”
Markdown uses underscores for italic, which is why they also need to be escaped with backslashes.
Not sure I can articulate the difference well, but there’s def types of asses you find more commonly on women vs men and vice versa. That’s my attempt to group the types you find more commonly on women together - not very precise, but if you do a couple image searches for comparison it’ll hopefully be clearer.
Obligatory fuck ford - the irony of his corrupt ass calling anyone else greedy is almost funny - but more importantly why would this be a problem? The article says Singh denies the pension is a factor, but if he wanted to hold out a little longer to get the money that he’s earned then… good for him? They don’t even seem to be accusing him of prioritizing that over the public good or anything, just of wanting money that he *checks notes* worked for and would meet the criteria to claim? The ability to scoff at being paid for your political work is a red flag to me (might indicate corruption/generational wealth/etc), and they’re really out here acting like it’s a moral requirement for office.
8gb of ram is definitely not ideal for the computer lifetimes people expect from macs, even for a very basic user, but it’s not too low to be forgivable except for the fact that modern macs use a SOC design and can’t upgrade the “RAM” (I know it’s not conventional ram; still gonna call it that). That aside, assuming “they” is still apple, the majority of what you said is… not correct. I’m gonna try to reply to each point without being a dick, but I’m sorry in advance in case it comes off that way or if it goes way too long. In order:
The average Mac owner’s use cases are nowhere near too demanding for the hardware - ever since they stopped trying to cram inefficient intel cores into a tiny chassis with the world’s shittiest cooling (2020), macs have been significantly more powerful than the average user needs in the short term. Someone who’s only trying to run some safari/firefox tabs, iMessage, a music client, and maybe a document or spreadsheet editor at most isn’t gonna be held back by the hardware of today at all - shit, 2020’s original base M1 macbook air with no fans would still be chugging along just fine today with that workload. On the off time a user like that does max out their ram (chrome with a million tabs, or if they’ve got a lot open and try the new apple intelligence stuff) modern ssds are fast enough that bumping a program into swap space doesn’t make the UI take a year like on HDDs. Should there still be more than 8gb ram on a computer (theoretically) designed to last 8+ years? Ideally, yes, but it’s really not the dealbreaker (again, for the average use case) that people make it out to be - it’s not gonna suddenly turn a new mac into a steaming pile of shit on year 3 or something.
About upgrades, I’m not really sure how to address this - what upgrades are just adding LLMs? Whether you’re talking computers or phones, I can’t remember an upgrade cycle for either in ages that hasn’t been double digit power increases. Software-wise, none of the upcoming software updates are “just” AI stuff - ios 18 adds a bunch of cool shit and while I don’t follow or care about Mac software, I’m sure a lot of that made its way over there too. This part is a little pedantic (please don’t take it as me being an asshole lol, zero hostility I promise), but I also wanna note it’s not just LLMs - they’ve got multimodal models for images and video too.
Your last point is subjective so I won’t try to claim your opinion (other than the bit about modern hardware running at capacity) is wrong. I do wanna offer a counterpoint tho, because while I agree that AI is overhyped and a lot of what companies are bragging about is mostly fluff (fucking genmoji???), there’s some tangible ways it’s gonna improve user experience. A more flexible Siri is probably gonna be the most-used one, since needing to be perfectly explicit and clear about what you want Siri to do is probably its biggest problem rn. An LLM backend will let it look past a badly phrased request or a stutter to the actual meaning of what you were trying to say, which is gonna make telling someone you’re about to get there while driving so much less painful.
The one I’m personally most excited about is one of the multimodal AI capabilities - fuck the image generation/editing (fun but overhyped imo), semantic media searches (searching photos for “mom and dad in front of that one waterfall”) are such a game changer, and the idea that I can have that without sending my photos and contacts to some external server is so wild to me.
Anyway, not trying to argue that 8gb of ram is a good design choice or force you to like AI, but I’m pretty into cpu/gpu/SOC advances and couldn’t just let them be slandered
The one and only animal I’d be okay with us driving extinct, but they’re doing great and we’re losing the rhinos 😭
