Huh. TIL that italic emoji are a thing.
…I don’t know why that’s surprising to me, since they’re just Unicode, but it is.
It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they’d pop up regularly during the winter sale.
But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is “will I play it right now?”
IMO the early game exploration rush is the best part. Anomalies and archaeological digs give that great Star Trek vibe that kind of goes away once everyone is settled into their borders.
I believe the g palatalizes the n, so it’s more like nyok-key.
Yeah, my mom used to work for an organization called ARC, which pointedly hasn’t been an acronym since the early '90s.
I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.
First OS on a computer I personally owned? Windows 98. First Linux distro was Source Mage.
If not counting ownership, then Apple IIs at school and then slightly later my family got an Amstrad that was primarily a DOS machine, but could also boot (by switching floppies several times) to some sort of GUI.
Mediocre movie, best Daft Punk music video.
I know this is too late for you, but something like this happened to me recently, so I’m writing for the sake of anyone who might find this thread in the future.
In my case it was because the NixOS installer had booted up in legacy/BIOS mode, so grub was in BIOS mode, and it can’t boot a UEFI OS (e.g. Windows 10) from that state.
In fact I couldn’t get the NixOS installer to boot in EFI mode at all. Odd, as both Windows and other distros work fine. Actual installed NixOS also works, it’s just the installer that fails.
So what I did was to boot a different distro’s live medium (EndeavourOS, but it shouldn’t matter) in EFI mode and did a manual NixOS install from there.
It probably also would have worked to just switch grub to EFI mode in the config, except I had also failed to clock that the new SSD I was installing to had an MBR partition table, so I had to nuke the original install to make it gpt anyway.
tl;dr: osprobe can find OSes on other drives just fine; what it can’t do is find an EFI bootloader while in legacy mode.
This format is especially apropos, as Natalie Portman is one of a handful of actors with an Erdos number.
On the other hand slavery of actual humans is a thing. And at least the first generation of strong AI will effectively be persons whom it is legal to own because our laws are human-centric.
Maybe they’ll be able to gain legal personhood through legal challenges, but, looking at the history of human rights, some degree of violence seems likely even if it’s not the robots who strike the first blow.
I don’t think I’ve ever had it straight, but clamato is pretty good in a michelada.
I wonder what he actually meant. 1g/kg maybe? That would be 125% of the RDA, which I don’t know if it’s a good idea but it’s certainly more reasonable than…that.
That was actually Unix. Specifically the fsn file manager for IRIX.
There’s a Linux clone called fsv.
He’s pining for the fjords.
One such possibility is that you can only travel to times where the device you’re using to do so exists.
More like a time gate than an H.G. Wells-style machine, but still a workable model.
Though it is also true that Linux is gratis and Windows is not.
