For me it was finding people who cared about me, which gave me the self-esteem to ignore bullies (including the bully-informed “voice” in my head)

Don’t think I haven’t tried that.

I also tried the debug menu, xkill using the window ID, … it’s immortal.

Tbf, thanks to X11 Linux isn’t safe from stuff like that.

When I use my VR glasses, Steam sometimes creates an uncloseable X window that isn’t attached to any process. I don’t think even killing XWayland gets rid of it.

Yeah and they actually added some usability in the form of that utility helping you debug what you’re doing. Pretty nice!

I haven’t found anything better than Whiskey. It reminds me of the finnicky Wine days before Proton, but so far the problems I encountered are purely cosmetic. Granted, I only tried pixely indie stuff.

I don’t, my personal machine runs Linux

It works OK. Steam itself is super sluggish under it.

Native Steam + Proton is just better.

Hey, nobody disputes that.

Doesn’t mean macOS has a comparable portfolio of games it runs. Proton just works better than crossover or Whiskey or whatever.

No it’s not, that’s why some smart people are starring by defining a more interesting concept: educability.

What kind of dumb instructions are that?

Stirring exactly once is enough in most cases.

Weird how he’s helping the far right in both cases.

• complying with Erdogan
• refusing to block fascists

Negative rings are a horrible proprietary liability.

That’s been clear from their inception, and this changes nothing.

How is the second one in any way controversial? React is a huge part of the reason why jQuery is much less of a thing than it was ~10 years ago

You can update the whole base image. Vanilla OS and SteamOS have an A/B partition that holds the currently-in-use image and can also hold a to-be-used image.

Updating works by adding the to-be-used image, setting a configuration option that tells the system to boot that one, and on the next boot it’ll check if the new one is bootable, then either boot it and mark it as working, or boot into the old one and display an error about how out wasn’t able to boot into the new one.

There’s smart things going on like maybe hard linking files that didn’t change between the two images and therefore saving space and copying time.

The result is that you never have a broken system, but you can still frequently update the base image.

I feel like that has been superseded by Nix these days. Arch is now boring stable tech.

You say that as if somebody was disputing that.

The distinction ceased to be meaningful the minute language servers got introduced.

Laptop tries to reboot for 5th update of the day

I can’t connect to the internet, Dave, I’m afraid I cannot allow you to start me up again

You try to ignore helpful tips from the guy next to you, pretending your headphones are still active.

You choke back tears as Windows had enough from your feeble attempts to boot and the power button stops doing anything.

Doesn’t apply to the author here, so I don’t understand why you brought it up?

They accepted one that adds gender neutral pronouns in more than one place instead lol
