That’s not the point they’re making at all.
The point is when a website password breeds needs to be changed, then it won’t conform to the system anymore. Now you need to make a new system, or remember this particular exception.
I had a system with a number in it. Any time a password change was needed then I would add 1 to the number. I might have to try two or the times to get the password right if I’ve changed it for the third time.
You’re in the picture. You are seen.
It’s a strength check. It takes the might of Thor to squeeze the plug enough, in a tight space, at an odd angle, behind the computer.
Have a look through this list. There are so many great games that hold up really well today.
PSP has such a great games library and emulates so well on phones. I owned a PSP back in the day and played it constantly, but still I feel like I’m getting so much out of the games I didn’t play back then.
Try China Town Wars. It’s disappointing that top down games like that don’t get made more often.
Agree with all that. “The year of Linux” will be built up to incrementally; and the fact that gaming is so good on Linux pushes that a long way.
The Steam Deck is what pushed me to change to full-time PC Linux myself. Having hardware with pre-installed Linux that works flawlessly has been great.
Mine was a pre-release preorder as well.
I wouldn’t upgrade it now. Knowing me, I’ll probably end up waiting till 2027 and buy a secondhand device from 2026.
I mostly play indie 2D games, so games I want still work fine. The revised Deck has a bunch of improvements I would have liked (OLED, WiFi 6, etc). If there are enough improvements in usability (screen, WiFi, size, battery, hardware power), then I’ll upgrade and give the old device to my kids (who currently use it for more than 75% of the time anyway).
I hope so too, but I don’t think a shift that big is coming any time soon.
Linux users are still a tiny proportion of the online player base. Steam Deck sales are negligible compared to Switch or console sales.
I hope it happens eventually,but I think it’s going to take much longer for AAA gaming corps to take Linux seriously.
Hyped about the devices we’re going to see over the next year or so. Should be just in time to replace my first release Steam Deck as a noticeable upgrade.
I haven’t found any. Anything of that sort would need heavy handed and laborious moderation and would lend itself to quite a lot of bias from moderators. Your best bet is to do this sort of thing locally with a small group of friends (or internet friends).
I agree completely and struggle with the same.
Lemmy is too small and insular. Only mainstream (politics) or echo chamber (Linux) content gets enough momentum.
Reddit was large enough that you could shun the main communities and still find enough content in really niche communities.
People also don’t stick to designated communities and posts overflow to all sorts of places. I block all politics, but want to see memes. But all the meme communities are overflowing with political memes.
It’s a difficult time politically too, and Lemmy (socially liberal) is very much against incumbents (conservative nationalists) in most parts of the world.
My advice would be to expect little relevant content. Use an app that let’s you block things (I like Boost). Block all the communities and keywords you want (Trump, parliament, elections, Ukraine, etc etc). Ultimately cut back on social media use as it will always focus on politics. Go directly to sites that cover content you like.
The medical community has long since moved on from the cardiovascular definition of death.
UpToDate.com is about the only source I can be bothered mustering up for an internet disagreement at this time of night:
Death is an irreversible, biologic event that consists of permanent cessation of the critical functions of the organism as a whole [1]. This concept allows for survival of tissues in isolation, but it requires the loss of integrated function of various organ systems. Death of the brain therefore qualifies as death, as the brain is essential for integrating critical functions of the body. The equivalence of brain death with death is largely, although not universally, accepted [2,3]. Brain death implies the permanent absence of cerebral and brainstem functions.
Also this video seems to explain what I’m trying to say, although I’m not going to watch the whole thing at this hour and I only skimmed through it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5IhxRSaJ74E
Not having a heartbeat and not breathing doesn’t mean you’re dead. Intensive care departments are literally full of people with medically paralysed breathing muscles (i.e. not breathing) on ventilation machines. People go onto heart/lung bypass machines everyday to have heart surgery and their heart is stopped. You just need to keep oxygenated blood going around, keeping those tissues alive till you get the heart and breathing back online (this is what CPR is trying to do).
When the brain stem is dead tissue, then you’re truly dead (but even then you can be kept “alive” artificially if you’re already on a ventilation machine in a suitable intensive care).
Awesome. And cool that your mom is into old Atari games. Did she play them back in the day?
Is that why I can’t seem to find it on my laptop? Skill issue?
Is this wholesome or scumbag?
I agree with your comment…except for the part about a small learning curve. The learning curve is steep and difficult. You’ve got to be willing to jump in as an enthusiast and not a casual user. This is not the choice for the vast majority of normies (as you rightly conclude). The saving grace for Linux will be pre-installed systems with extremely polished UI’s (like the Steam Deck).
I’m highly motivated to stay on Linux, but there’s still a list of open issues for me (this is a year and a half after adoption…I’m just living with these limitations now, and there are a couple more I’ve added to my list of unsolvable problems since).
My younger one (4) gets scared by Bowser and comes to me. I have to do the same stages over and over for him. But he’s getting better.
The older one (6 now) finished Super Hexagon (all stages) and Ori to 100% completion at the age of 4. He used to ask for help with the last stage of Super Hexagon… That was way beyond my abilities. Really need to get this kid onto Street Fighter to male use of these skills.
