If you want to give KDE a shot, you don’t need to buy a Deck. Just grab a live installer image from a Linux distro you like, tons of them let you boot and try it out from RAM without actually installing to your hard disk.

I’m pretty UI agnostic (many years with Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, Unity, a few with xfce, and a bit with Cinnamon). I almost picked Gnome on a recent update to my primary home machine for its clean Mac-ish feel, but SteamOS convinced me that modern KDE is actually rather nice.

If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.

Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

Light colors: worse for stains, better for avoiding mosquitos

I’m not sure what there is to discuss. These seem pretty accurate at this point.

Note, it has Denuvo DRM. That’s a hard pass from me. Capcom has even gone back and added this garbage to past games that lacked it, so I wouldn’t trust them.

I didn’t think to check Wikipedia for pharmacology info haha. Thanks.

Isn’t that the same as Nitrogen, like [email protected] said? That doesn’t sound like there’s any unique mechanism to Xenon.

Xenon is a drug?

Drugs.com calls it “physiologically inert” with some anaesthetic effects at high doses. Most of the coverage is about Xe-133 radiopharmacology and not what most people would think of as a “drug”. Is there more to the story?

I built the Apollo Lunar Lander not long ago. I enjoy the experience of putting together Lego kits so sure, I’d do that again. Or even a bigger one like the Saturn V.

The problem is what to do with these after I finish assembling them. Nicer kits have a good number of specialized parts so I don’t want to take them apart. So they just sit on a shelf and collect dust.

I’m no expert and I’ve been out of the game for a while, but as I recall the platforms are all quite different. Maybe it’s common now to only allow messages between matches.

But anyway, I was referring more to the trolls and harassers that need to be banned entirely, not just blocked/ignored by individuals. These people will put nasty inappropriate stuff as their profile pics in the first place, and create new accounts just to pester others.

I think the problem there is moderation. Who is going to do the work of blocking/banning 1000 creepy messages and dick pics per minute on an open platform?

Let’s be honest, what these apps are going to do is boost user engagement (read: waste your fucking time) by pulling you into conversations with AI chatbots. The longer you’re there, the more advertisements they can feed you. It’s going to be harder and harder to find a real person, because investors don’t benefit from that.

This could be nice for folks that want a console-like living room experience that “just works”.

Me? I built a Linux HTPC a dozen years ago and have periodically updated the graphics card (it gets the hand-me-downs from my main gaming PC) so I don’t need this. I’m far more interested in a Steam Controller 2 😄

No, the helicopter was, read the headline again

Probably Grontar: The Frutang, circa 2003.

It was just a nibble!

Later: We all have 8 different flavors of cancer from these

Wood Science must be a rather strange field.

1 mL of pure water weighs exactly 1 g at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure :) It’s a defined standard, useful for calibrating other things.

1 mL. Studying chemistry has made that extremely useful and now other units seem ridiculous.

If we’re talking about geology or oceanography though, cubic meters are fine.

NAND and NOR are swapped. Pretty good otherwise 😄

Huh, it’s actually correct. I remembered the logic gates but not how they translate to words, heh.

Here’s how it works. Thanks to everyone who pointed it out. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan’s_laws
