Sir, this is social media nuance has no place here.

A thing is either all bad and anybody who says anything about it is probably a nazi or it is good and nothing you say in support of it can ever be wrong no matter how irrational or toxic those beliefs.

AI is bad and so it can’t be useful because only one thing can be true at once. No you can’t change my mind, yes I did my own research.

It looks great and runs great. The only gripe I have is that HDR isn’t a feature (and the mods that turn it on are just reverse tonemapping, not true HDR)

UE5 has a bad reputation in the community due to developers making UE5 games without understanding how to use the UE5 engine, leading to performance problems. Subnautica 2 is very well tuned and so those criticism don’t apply.

If you liked the gameplay loop in the first one and enjoyed the experience of learning about the behaviors/uses of all of the various flora and fauna then this game is exactly that but there’s a new world of things to learn, you get new kinds of equipment/powers and it looks prettier.

They sold 2M copies in the first 12h, I think they’ll hit that target.

You called me, friend. Who is this?

Yes? Hello?

TL;DR: Stop jumping between Linux tools and setups.

Pick something simple, stick with it, and actually learn it before moving on. A deep knowledge of one toolset is more useful than a shallow understanding of many different ways of solving the same problem.

Modern day “It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun”.

Try EndeavourOS, it gets you into the Arch package manager environment but gives you an easy way to install and chooses a sane set of default packages.

Installing and figuring out what specific things you want to install are usually the biggest hurdles for Arch

Jesus. It probably does happen. 😭

If I ever want to know about rich people using shady tricks in order to get tax breaks, there is one content creator that always delivers: https://www.floridapoliticalreview.com/trumps-mar-a-lago-tax-break/

Yeah, I meant all of the substations, roads, police, etc that will now need to have a bit more funding.

I don’t know a good way of solving it, but the ‘I can just go to another state’ gives these companies way too much bargaining power and the net result is that all states lose out on income that they shouldn’t have to have given up in the first place.

It seems absurd, it isn’t like regular people can just say ‘Well, I’m going to buy a house in the next county over unless you guys give me a break on my property tax’ and then get to live there property tax free (though, now that I think about it, I’m sure there are people rich enough to do this too :/)

Yeah, it’s a really dumb way of doing things that should be regulated as it results in essentially every major industrial site operating tax free for years because they can always play states off of one another.

Meanwhile the citizens of the state are going to spend years eating the costs of building the new infrastructure required to support the new operation.

In the words of Mario:

What a shitty thing to do

Why do they need to give tax breaks?

These companies are falling all over themselves to build data centers and can’t find enough places, states should be charging a tax premium on data centers.

You can’t work in the corporate world without being forced to do unspeakable things with an Excel spreadsheet.

I remember Firefox 2 having TABS, instead of a bunch of IE or Netscape windows lmao.

The good ole days when tabs were mindblowing innovations. They hardly used any gigadatacenters to function (just most of my sweet, sweet 32MBs of RAM and only someone looking to meet the BSOD would dare open 3).

Trying to play warcraft 3 custom maps and getting booted from games because of dialup making the map download take forever (or a phone call mid-game causing me to lag out and get kicked).

I remember that period, if you tried to join a DotA map after an update and you didn’t pre-download it from the website you were never going to finish downloading before you were booted… and this was before MOBAs were toxic!

I’ve got a decade on you then 👴

There were so many back them, Limewire, Napster, eDonkey, gnutella and the old old school IRC+FTP servers.

Then bittorrent came out and blew everything away, Suprnova was the OG Pirate Bay.

It feels a lot like this gif
