I would have no problem if that popped up in my feed while I was in a public place.
That said, I don't think it would be safe for work, so the nsfw would apply. But I would not be browsing Lemmy at work either.
That is a bit of a selection bias. What you are effectively saying is "the biblical names that have survived to today have staying power".
But even that isn't true here as almost all of the names you cite are significantly different now than their original forms. Looking at your list we have Yeshua, Shemuel, Mikael, Rivka, Yohanan, Miriam, and Paulus. Adam is mostly the same, as is David (with a bit of an accent difference), but the rest didn't exactly emerge as they were.
My understanding is that it is working much better now than a few months ago. I haven't actually put it to the test yet, but it is on my list of things to try once I have time to set up my index again.
Separation of church and state is not in the Constitution. The closest you will get is the first amendment, which prevents Congress from establishing a religion, or preventing the free practice of one.
I'm with you that religion should not be forced in schools, but you can't use the Constitution to prevent this particular issue.
It is if you are doing it in a discussion about whether or not Russia should be allowed to enact wars of aggression...
There is no current game I want to play that doesn't run on Linux. Valve really has done an amazing job with proton and getting games to work as well or better on Linux.
Now, that said, I am not big into competitive multiplayer, so take that into account. Anti cheat is still a problem since most of the current ones need permissions that are not normally given on Linux.
Well it was about that time I realized this judge was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era.
Return to sea-monkee?
This is a bit late for a response, but it has to do with what protections are afforded by what entity. The US has very explicit treaties signed with allied nations. Canada, for instance is a five eye partner and thus has far less to worry about from the US than it does from China.
Additionally, China has an ongoing bad track record with how it treats other nations. Commercial entities within China are far more at the whim of the state government and are required to act in alignment with the CCP instructions.
People treat China differently because China is different. They very much are a different beast when it comes to authoritarian control of its commercial and private entries.
Whataboutism doesn't suddenly make the action ok. Two countries doing something wrong doesn't suddenly excuse the act.
It's the asymmetric bullshit principle
Having been in the military, I find it hilarious and accept that it is not a place everyone should be. The recruiter likely has a very similar realistic understanding of where the military stands with people right now.
My power comes from the two sets of solar panels and batteries on my land. It is possible to do without fossil fuels. We're not there yet for everyone, but the problems you point out are solvable, and if solar/EVs had the same amount of backing from the government over the same timeframe that gas/ICE cars have had, we would be in a very different place right now.
I am trying to think of things that are difficult for using something like Linux mint vs my last Windows install. If we are taking about doing a full, clean install of both, I think my last Windows install was way worse.
Mint installed and just detected everything I was using without a problem. I had to tweak some minor things to get it to display on the 4K TV I am using in my living room, and there are still some games that don't play nicely with Linux.
The Windows install, on the other hand, required me to get drivers for the video card, WIFI, and a few other things to get all the hardware to work right. Then getting it how I like it took longer than I like and I had to visit multiple sites to get all my preferred software.
That doesn't explain why already established products are ditching things like plainly visible scroll bars in products like Microsoft word and other content viewers.
That is what I am doing currently. It makes you lag behind a bit in raw damage output compared to a pure sorcerer, but you get flexibility and can have fun with the utility spells.
The fact that you consider that a "normal" and acceptable tactic shows the problem
Been a while since I checked here and it seems pretty quiet, but I definitely have a chaotic/silly side despite an adherence to logic and reason. To that end in addition to considering myself a Stoic, I am also a card-carrying pope of Discordianism. For every act of order, there is an equal and opposite action of chaos that must enter the world. I do my part in keeping that chaos fun.
It is one of the reasons my overriding motto is "in all things, logic... And cookies. Those are good too".
How's everyone doing?
So, how are people doing over here? I am getting over a cold and playing Inscryption (along with my partner who is backseat gaming).
How are other folk?
What is your electronics environment?
I have put a moderate amount of work into putting together an enjoyable, functional electronic environment that reflects my unique interests and tastes. So, I am curious. Anyone else out there have their comfy, cozy personal electronic home?
My personal setup is a good, but old laptop running Linux tweaked to my liking, with a beefier gaming desktop also running Linux. I have the two configured so I can use the laptop and swap to a secondary workspace that is the gaming pc whenever I want to do something that could use a bit more power or if I just want to off load it to the other machine and have it do something in the background. Added to that nice compatibility, I also have my phone set up for the same functionality, so I can access the main computer there as well. Then I just recently added a Steam Deck to the mix that is currently my main gaming device. Anything it can run, I do there. If not, you guessed it, I moonlight into the gaming pc to run the latest AAA games on higher settings. Add to that a set of good wireless earbuds with smart assistant functionality and a home with smart lights and features and I kinda walk around a little electronic paradise.
So, what are y'all running with? What little personalized things have you done to make your world yours? Or are the computers in your life just tools and you are good with how they come?
Made some alfredo tonight...
This... this was a low-key life changer.
I made the recipe as it was originally done and it was pretty much the simplest, quickest thing I have ever made.
You need noodles (I used a simple pack of the "fresh" noodles from the supermarket, it took literally 2 minutes to cook), a block of decent Parmesan cheese that you will shred about a cup of (gotta go with a block that you shred yourself, the pre-shredded doesn't work), and four tablespoons of butter. That's it.
You boil the noodles per the package (it was 2 minutes for the ones I used), then pull them from the water and put them wet in a large bowl with the butter. Add a small amount of the water you boiled the noodles in (like 1/3rd cup or so) and then slowly add in the cheese, mixing it as you go. That's it. You can add more pasta water if you want it saucier, but mix it until the cheese and butter melts into a sauce and you are good to go.
With the fresh noodles, it maybe takes 5 or 6 minutes and was a very tasty and filling meal. Totally worth it.
Should we make a post on the Reddit INTP sub?
I brought up the idea of protesting reddit and moving to Lemmy a couple of times on the INTP subreddit to tepid interest, but if we wanted to get a few more people over here, we could try and let people know we are over here carving out our niche.
Not sure if a post was made over yonder or not, and I would not want to unilaterally decide to do so, but it could be good to have a few more voices in here.
What says the sub?
Is this a thing?
Was just checking to see if any INTP folk made the trip here from Reddit. Is this an actual sub or just another thing that an INTP decided to do, but then hot bored half way to execution?
Streaming From Linux PC to Deck While Docked
(I am recreating this post from Reddit here as well in case anyone has any insight or if I solve the issue, so I can add my solution to the non-Reddit body of troubleshooting knowledge)
I am quite a happy Deck owner and have had no problems that I couldn't tackle with a bit of Linux knowhow and willingness to do a google search.
But... I am trying something new. I have the official dock and have used it for months to play games directly off the Deck just fine. I have also used the deck to stream games off my PC running Linux Mint (Cyberpunk worked nicely). What I am trying now is to stream a game from the Mint PC to the Deck while the Deck is docked to the official dock.
I dock the Deck (wired to the network), and it can see the PC (also wired). I can click to stream the game as normal and it even starts the game on the remote PC. But that is where it fails. It sits on the loading screen for a moment, and then aborts back to the Deck library. I have the option to "connect" to the now running game, but it only pulls up the generic loading screen again for a few moments before dumping back to the game page in my library.
Games I have tried: Cyberpunk, Outer Wilds, Fallout 4. All of these run just fine when streaming direct to the Deck, but fail when trying to do it docked to a TV.
Any ideas?
Just Finished Cyberpunk on the Deck
The Steam Deck ran it surprisingly well, to be honest. I used the settings off this page and it ran at a pretty solid ~40 FPS.
Not my favorite game, but it was pretty and fun to jump around hacking people as I hacked at people (with a katana). Story was ok, and the ending was just a bit meh for me, but worth it in my eyes.
Next I'm on to playing Outer Wilds docked to the TV with my partner. I'm a few cycles into it and am hooked. The Steam Deck was an excellent buy!
A weird question, but how is your handwriting?
This one just occurred to me, but I have always had iffy handwriting and recently have been trying to learn Russian which is reliant on fairly tricky cursive.
I have found the whole experience of learning a new style of cursive to be frustratingly difficult and was wondering if not having a good visual memory might lend itself to a slightly harder time of it.
