Skip the planet sized computer, build a matrioshka brain around your star!

From the very first video in glorious… Was it 240p? Well, since the very early days he’s had this great vibe of an edutainment program with the host being a metallic alien with holograms and stuff, and it’s definitely part of the appeal. You claim he could get more followers by dropping the whole gimmick, but I have to question how many regular viewers he might lose if he stops it.

In this regard, I think Gigabyte just has you put the firmware in some accessible location (like on a USB drive) and update from BIOS?

Thanks! I’m mostly confused by the post not linking anything, not sure if that’s just a posting style I’m unfamiliar with, or if OP forgot to put a link in.

Was there supposed to be a link or something?

I love Angry Dishwasher Man

Anticheat is good. Intrusive anticheat, in this case kernel-level anticheat, is something that’s being made only for windows that will stop you from playing a game on Linux and increase attack surface for your Windows.

Fair, but machines at work as sysadmin are a different thing - hopefully there you’re also dealing with fast deployment, prepared ahead of time. But if the issue is that you messed something up on your own computer, ignoring the issue in favor of reinstalling sounds likely to leave you oblivious to what the issue was, and likely to repeat your mistake.

With the way most distros are structured, you should never need a reinstall, since reinstalling the packages will fix any issues with broken system files. Broken configuration wouldn’t be as easy to fix, but still something you should be able to fix.

The only reason to be reinstalling, in my eyes, is if you have a mess of packages and configuration you don’t remember, and want to get a clean slate to reconfigure instead of trying to figure out why everything was set up in a certain way.

It’s not just an OK facsimile, it’s basically almost perfect - the only thing it’s missing is interaction with lighting. That said, it absolutely is limited to only perfectly flat surfaces, and limited in terms of how many different planes you can have, usually just one for water or a big mirror in a bathroom.

I will mention, consider the game Portal - every portal in that game is effectively the work needed to create a realtime planar reflection, by having an extra camera rendering the world from a transformed point of view, with adjusted clipping.

Maybe PHP? Since it runs as a server and returns computed results in a browser… Though I’m pretty sure it’d just return the compiler error text

I miss poem for your sprog.

That’s fair, I’m not from the US, and when talking about private healthcare I’m thinking of my own experiences, paying out of my pocket.

That sounds entirely reasonable, and pedantic ;D

I don’t mean it to imply lack of competence, and both issues you mentioned sound like they’d qualify as that “work” for me, notably would probably need legislations drafted and passed. Bureaucracy is slow, but hopefully things will steadily improve.

Notably, public institutions are gonna be inherently tied into politics, having to deal with bureaucracy to get things done and subject to the whims of politicians playing their games for influence. It’s not that public administrators are dumb, but they’re part of a much bigger system that is funded by public money, and that presumably makes everything harder.

One big issue is that, to my knowledge, there simply aren’t enough doctors. That’s not something that can be fixed just by working more on it, but hopefully it could improve with better technology and more funding!

I will also say, I think one issue that can be improved rather directly is coordination - some private institutions can give you a list of timeslots available to sign up for and receive you in your allotted time, but in other places (both private and public) you might be waiting an hour for the doctor to show up, with no information on what’s going on and three people ahead of you. Shit happens, but it seems like the systems in place are severely lacking, if present at all.

There’s also the issue of waiting times - you might need care somewhat urgently, but need to either wait for multiple months or pay (or hope that when the issue becomes more immediately life-threatening they can handle it in time). Public healthcare isn’t perfect, and at least in many places still needs a lot of work.

I’m sorry, but just one detail from what I’m seeing on the linked article - “that person” committed suicide a month before any of that went down. I don’t think it invalidates the point, even though being alive and present to be interrogated might’ve changed things, but it comes off comical when talking about how horrible the experience must’ve been.

I don’t think this is a realistic proposal - this is a technological advancements. You might be able to force companies to put invisible steganographic signatures in their services’ output, maybe provide some method for hashing the output to provide a way to determine if an image was generated by them…

But what’s stopping them from using the underlying model on the side, off the books. They could sell/leak the model to external entities. If they just generate outputs without any watermarks, those systems won’t be able to detect them, potentially only lending more legitimacy to those fakes.

And, ultimately, nothing’s stopping independent organizations from developing their own models capable of generating such fakes. What help is it that big companies are limited, if the technology needed to generate images is already known, and might end up easily reproducible by anybody sooner than later?

That said, individual instances of such illegal/immoral services should be dealt with - it’s horrible, but I believe those are inevitable. Pandora’s box has been opened by creating the technology, it was going to happen sooner or later, and we have to deal with the results.

Sublime Text also lets you rename tabs without saving them, though the action is labeled “rename file”… But it’s also proprietary and paid, so that’s a downside for sure.

We teamed up with global branding powerhouse Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR) to revamp our brand and revitalize our intentions across our entire ecosystem. At the heart of this transformation is making sure people know Mozilla for its broader impact, as well as Firefox.

Sure sounds like they’re trying hard to make sure everybody knows how great they are. I still want to believe they won’t abandon the mission, but I’m losing hope.

I don’t have a tutorial, but once you do have a Linux install, for standalone games I can recommend checking out Lutris. It has many user-provided install scripts that can set up games automatically, seems to include Guild Wars 2: https://lutris.net/games/guild-wars-2/

Interestingly, Guild Wars 2 is apparently also on steam - for steam games I recommend looking them up on protondb, in many cases windows-only games work out of the box, but if you’re not afraid to do a bit of tweaking, you can often find fixes there: https://www.protondb.com/app/1284210
