  • The price per person doesn't help me if I'm living alone, and they start enforcing "only people in your home count as family". If I'm the only one that can use my account, the price per person is the full plan price.

  • The Dislike to Ubuntu
  • Debian is amazing, but you're right that they are far from noob-friendly. I recently switched to Fedora due to the fast availability of new packages (e.g. KDE Plasma 6.1 with fixed Nvidia drivers), and even the arguably easiest option - Ublue images - had some issues I wouldn't have been able to fix without deep Linux experience.

    But there definitely has been a lot of progress over the last couple of years, and I'm sure that will continue. We just have to be mindful of not participating in creating the next Microsoft. Ubuntu is already seen as the default Linux distribution - the further it gets entrenched, the worse for all of us.

  • The Dislike to Ubuntu
  • But why move people from Microsoft to another company that is implementing more and more user-hostile "features", when there are alternatives like Mint? If all the new Linux users are herded towards Canonical, it's just giving them even more power to extract profits in the future.

    It's far easier to have them start with a community-led project on the same basis. Imagine Ubuntu being enshittified and forked - how should they decide which fork to use, and how can they know it will still exist in a couple of years?

  • I watched Spider Man 2 and Doc Ock said he could harness the power of the sun. Can humans today do that today for renewable power and energy forever?
  • The sun itself is its own energy source. The fusion reactions create energy, but as the elements get heavier and heavier, less energy is emitted. Depending on the size the star will either cool down, or explode violently (possibly forming a black hole). And probably many fates in-between I don't know about :)

    You can get energy from gravity by moving something closer to a gravity source, but realistically only to a limit. Gravity gets weaker as you get further away, so you can only get so fast from it before either hitting the object, or being too far to notice the pull.

  • Removing Windows. Choosing a new daily driver for a gaming PC
  • I'm pretty sure that the Ublue Surface images are using that modified kernel, at least I don't know what other initramfs they are loading, or why they would offer specific Surface builds and not include the biggest project for that specific purpose.

  • Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers.
  • No, it's not just about stalkers, it's about harassment in general. But even if it were, even stalkers are still people and don't work fundamentally different.

    Feel free to show any research proving me wrong, but unless you find any, the reasonable position is "humans work the same on this topic as on others".

  • Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers.
  • I know, but it still didn’t fully remove it.

    Sure, but it doesn't have to be fully removed to have an effect.

    The thing is that there really is no price, nor was there ever one. Your suggestion that you think there is demonstrates that the way blocking worked gave people dangerously wrong ideas.

    Sorry, but you don't get to redefine how humans work. There is a price, because friction reduces the likelihood of people following through. Removing that friction increases the likelihood of people following through. You might not want to believe this to be the case, but please read studies on the topic - it's just how humans work. You don't get to dismiss negative effects because you don't believe in them.

  • /etc/ is not immutable, you can change whatever you want there. Unless your software is going against Linux standards, you won't run into any issues here.

    Universal Blue has special builds for Surface devices with modified kernels.

    Cities Skylines 2: "Beach properties assets are all gone and my city is screwed. Thanks a lot."

    forum.paradoxplaza.com Beach properties assets are all gone and my city is screwed. Thanks a lot.

    Since the removal of the DLC, and the fact it's not already in the base game, all assets related to it now appear as grey boxes. Thanks again for that, as it was doubtlessly absolutely necessary to remove the DLC now and not when it's integrated...

    It doesn't stop. It just never stops.

    What is your favorite moment in Invincible (show/comics)? What made you go "this is something different"?

    Please use spoiler tags for comic spoilers (anything that hasn't been shown in the latest episodes of the show)!

    Hey all! I'd like to try starting a directed discussion, since participation in the episode discussions hasn't really happened yet (but it's slowly picking up on the sub, woohoo!). Depending on how things go I'll post more in the coming weeks :)

    What was the moment or thing that happened which made you go "This isn't like other superhero media"? I think we can all agree that Invincible feels very refreshing and has many interesting ideas. Is there something you really like? Or something that defines Invincible?

    Do the sacrifices of a godhand member influence their strength?

    I'm really interested in trying to get more information about Void, and one angle I haven't read much about is this: does the amount of people sacrificed, and their strength, influence the power of the resultant godhand member?

    There definitely seems to be some kind of correlation between sacrifices and power, since Slan states in chapter 82: "It's ironic though. The stronger his life force and the greater his anguish, the more they become precious bread for the new life of darkness". From this we can at least deduct that a strong sacrifice makes the new member stronger than a weak sacrifice.

    Now the question is: shouldn't this mean that Void is much, much more powerful than Griffith currently is? After all, he sacrificed not just a band of mercenaries (who have some very strong members, albeit only few due to the year before), but an entire kingdom. I do think the average sacrifice was much weaker for Void (as they were most likely not warriors, but intellectuals), though it's difficult to say since we know very little about his eclipse. But nonetheless I definitely think there is some correlation here.

    This of course leads to some interesting possibilities for what Griffith is currently up to. Is he planning to somehow ascend further by making another, much bigger sacrifice? Do the godhand members have a hierarchy which he is trying to climb (almost certainly)? Could he be trying to surpass the Idea of Evil itself?

    Do you think that the placement of the brand has a meaning?

    I'm re-reading the manga right now. During the Eclipse, we see the brand placed on a number of hawks, each in a different place (link to the panel):

    • Casca gets it on the left side of her chest, roughly over her heart

    • Guts, of course, has it on his neck

    • Judeau gets his on the palm of his left hand

    • Pippin has it on his forearm

    • Corkus gets his on his forehead (just like the bodies below the tower of rebirth)

    I can make an argument for each of them to have gotten it on whatever they most rely on, except for Guts, I can't make a concrete argument why it's his neck.

    But what I'm really interested in is this: can we learn anything about the bodies from Gaiserics kingdom from this? It might be that the population of his city wasn't made up of fighters and physical people at the time it was sacrificed, but of thinkers, or at least people who rely more on wit and cunning than on strength (positive or negative). This would make sense considering the technological and social advancements they seem to have made.

    What do you guys think?
