Old post, but can you share what you did? I’m fighting the same problem.

The release of the Gothic Remake in June. Hope I will be healthy enough to play.

Similar to how ReCAPTCHA was meant to train neural networks for image recognition the anti bot protocol is used to train an autist to find an efficient factorisation algorithm.

“Prove that you’re a bot by factorising this large number.”

Praying should be about as effective as the meth.

Are they related to Aaron Paul?

In my mind when I see MySQL somewhere it actually means MariaDB. It’s also the default in Debian. Probably in other distributions as well. Or maybe Percona.

I don’t think Lutris is meant to pass on command line arguments. I’d rather use just Wine without anything else.

Doesn’t Adobe provide a Linux build of Acrobat anymore? I’m pretty sure they used to do that.

My uneducated guess is that someone put the rope on the barrel by hand and twisted it in the process.

If you want to be taken more seriously you should dial back on the excessive punctuation and dial up proper capitalisation. You don’t need to have perfect grammar but putting the effort in makes your posts easier to read.

For simple talking communities see !casualconversation@piefed.social. If you really want to blog into the void I think something like Mastodon is better suited.

One !chronicillness@lemmy.world is enough to retire early. Woohoo!

Neighbour’s dog is the same. Unfortunately she is also afraid of cats, so no feline support cuddles for her.

Just lie on it. They do it to us all the time!

Technically the visible universe extends only about 13 billion light years from us. We can just calculate where that stuff is now because of expansion. And as I wrote the area we’re aiming for will surely change drastically the further away it is.

These journeys wouldn’t take billions of years for someone traveling near light speed because for them the lengths would shrink down so much that they’d be negligible. Of course once they had slowed down those billions of years will have gone by for everything outside the space ship. So it’s not good for missions where you want to return home to your family afterwards.

The big problem is energy. If we had almost infinite energy we could accelerate to a significant fraction of the speed of light at a leasurely 9.81 m/s² in about a year. The travel at almost lightspeed would feel instantaneous for us. Add another year to decelerate at the same rate. We could reach any point in the visible universe in 2 years.

Our destination would just be drastically different from what we observed, depending on how far away it was.

Oh, and apart from the tiny energy problem cosmic radiation will probably destroy our spaceship. I bet at relativistic speeds you’d even get enough neutrino collisions to make them a problem.

You’d have to find alternatives. Like another dimension. Another dimension might be the answer.

Whelp, guess that means we can be sure to find out about mass killings in El Salvador or Alligator Alcatraz or wherever right away because it will be so obvious.

But she did not pretend it didn’t happen. Where are you getting that from? She just never saw it, or at least the full extent. She did see starved prisoners. She saw the furniture at the opera. Just because the killings happened in a part of the city she wasn’t allowed to visit doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.

And propaganda was trying their darnedest to keep it that way for most people. Even high ranking officers were boasting about how they were just about to beat the Sowjets the day before they retook the city.

I just re-read that. The official story they got was that they were from a Sowjet prison. Not even a German one.
