I love how intuitive it is. I knew immediately that it meant “have you ever” or “do you ever”

Why no buff Deanna? Strong girls hot!!!

I dunno how it is in the rest of Canada, but here in Ontario, the Conservatives are constantly undermining the public healthcare system because they very clearly want to privatize it. It’s really annoying how they’re trying to slyly erode faith in the public system and letting people fall through the cracks for no reason other than greed. It’s blatant to anyone paying attention, but sadly, most people aren’t.

lol yeah I never really understood why they tried to sell Neelix as this tough, no-nonsense scrapper when they hired this guy to play the role. Star Trek has some very questionable casting sometimes. Not that Neelix isn’t great, but he definitely isn’t a “tough guy”.

I would use Heroic Games Launcher personally. You can add any game you want, and before it creates the prefix for you, you have the option of running installers on the prefix first. Then you can add the game executable. If the game requires proton fixes which it very likely would, you can search the game on SteamDB to find the AppID then make sure there’s a file called steam_appid.txt next to the game executable with the game’s app ID from SteamDB. That will tell Proton to apply any fixes that it has on file automatically.

If you’re a fairly advanced user, you can also just look at what files are included on the game’s SteamDB “Depots” page. For example, GTA San Andreas looks like it requires “DirectX Jun 2010 Redist”. You can either download that from Microsoft or you can run winetricks (through Heroic, or through terminal) on the prefix to add d3dx9.

I always assumed it had more to do with him smuggling goods into federation colonies or some such. He’s a very good pilot because he knows how to slip between the cracks of sensor fields and how to use unconventional maneuvers to throw off anyone chasing him. Sounds like the behaviour of a smuggler to me.

Also, I’m pretty sure the pitch for Tom Paris was basically “Han Solo but Star Trek”.

First of all, make sure that Steamworks Common Redistributables is installed because according to the steamdb page for GTA 5 it requires vcrun2022 and d3dx9 installed from winetricks (or protontricks) which it normally gets from the Steamworks Common Redistributables automatically.

From my admittedly very brief research, it doesn’t look like you can play GTA 5 online if you skip the launcher but if you want to just play offline you can set your Steam Launch Options by right clicking the game and going to properties. If you set it to %command% -scOfflineOnly that will skip the launcher but disable multiplayer.

You can also try setting the Steam Launch Options to PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% which forces Proton to use the OpenGL driver rather than the Vulkan driver for D3D.

I’ve watched Sabine for awhile, she’s a really great science reporter who keeps things simple and pretty brief. Just a note though, I feel like she sometimes takes very skeptical and conservative views on some subjects where she doesn’t really have any expertise. It also makes me kind of uncomfortable how she seems to be obsessed with Elon Musk, she mentions him in basically every video.

Despite all that, she’s pretty great, check her out, just keep in mind she talks about a lot of things she isn’t an expert in.

I’ve tried both pretty extensively and moonlight is so, so much better. I was really surprised, but it’s far and away better than steam link. You can stream your PC by using Sunlight - https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine

I think it’s that neuro-diverse people tend to gravitate towards each other, so this is probably survivor’s bias. I definitely find that other people with ADHD are able to grab and hold my attention better than neuro-typical people and also they’re more understanding and forgiving when I’m flaky, or too hyperactive, or whatever.

context from the show Silicon Valley

Such an advantage, theories suggest, came about due to males having to move around in large tracts of land while hunting, while women stayed closer to home as they foraged.

This is a popular misconception but there’s a lot of evidence that shows early human societies were egalitarian and men and women equally participated in hunting and gathering. Especially after tools like the ahtlotl (a spear-throwing device) became common place.

Here’s an article from NPR about gender equality in early humans: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/07/01/1184749528/men-are-hunters-women-are-gatherers-that-was-the-assumption-a-new-study-upends-i
And here’s a wikipedia article about the ahtlotl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spear-thrower

Gitlab is quite good and used by a lot of open source developers.

“These oddities keep getting swept under the rug, but the more we find, we’re going to have to come face-to-face with the fact that maybe our standard model needs rethinking,” said Lopez. “As a minimum it’s incomplete. As a maximum we need a completely new theorem of cosmology.”

I find this line really funny. Anyone familiar with cosmology knows that most cosmologists agree that our current models are lacking. After all, that’s what dark matter and dark energy are, unknown variables in the current cosmological model. It seems odd to me then that they’re acting as though they’re a minority when most cosmologists agree, it’s just that the current model is the best one we have, so if you don’t want it “swept under the rug” then don’t just prove the old model wrong, make a new model that fits every observation.

There are considered to be 10 stages of genocide as described by Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_stages_of_genocide

The stages ramp up in severity until we’re at full gas chamber Nazi status by stage 9 and stage 10 is denying any crime occurred.

I’d say Israel and Palestine were already at like stage 6 before this, now it’s at like stage 8. It’s not clear if Israel actually plans on exterminating all Palestinians, but it sure seems like that’s where they’re leading things.

lol no way! I just watched a video on Extra Mythology about this guy! The guy with 10 heads is Ravana whose grandfather was a Rakshasa demon and the guy on the left is Vibhishana who is Ravana’s brother who will ultimately betray him.

It looks like they used these statues are inspiration in the video because they look identical

You’re assuming that physics would be the same in every other universe. Physics works the way it does in our universe largely because of constants, but we don’t know why many of these constants exist and we probably never will. The idea of a god creating out universe seems like an obvious explanation, but more likely it’s survivor bias. Specifically, the idea that since we happen to live in a universe where everything is just right and so we look at that as a miracle and probably planned. In reality, it’s more likely that there are actually an infinite number of universes with different physics where life is impossible, but that means that even if less than 1% of all of those infinite universes is able to support life, there are still so, so many universes in which it was. Many of them being nearly identical to our own, and many of them being so strange and alien that we probably couldn’t even wrap our heads around the strangeness even if we had an eternity to study them.

lol as expected the comments in this thread are all off topic!

Seriously though, give us an update if you find it helpful OP! We clearly need all the help we can get out here

Do you think using a custom ssh key directory would prevent these malicious apps from working correctly or is there some environment variable that always points to the ssh key folder or I guess they could just run a search on the system for any files like *.pub. Are there any safety procedures that one can take to circumvent these kinds of attacks?

This feels like a great application of AI to root around through the code of packages in these repos and find ones that access the ssh key directory at all to be looked at more thoroughly by a human.
