Brother, you get a bunch of nerds into any subculture and it’ll turn sexual fast. I’m sure there were plenty of spock eared sex parties.

Case in point:

It is commonly believed that slash fan fiction originated during the late 1960s, within the Star Trek: The Original Series fan fiction fandom, starting with “Kirk/Spock” stories generally authored by female fans of the series and distributed privately among friends. The name arises from the use of the slash symbol (/) in mentions in the late '70s of K/S (meaning stories where Kirk and Spock had a romantic [and often sexual] relationship)

For real though, containerization isn’t the only way to separate applications from each other but totally fine, it’s the “It works on my machine, so here’s my machine” mentality that doesn’t fill me with confidence. I’ve seen too much barely-working jank in containers that probably only get updated when a new version of the containerized application itself is released.

Is it fair to say that any game that runs on the Steam runs on Steam Linux?

No, it’s not that far along. A lot works, but if there’s invasive DRM or anticheat then it probably won’t. If you have specific games you want to play in mind check out https://www.protondb.com/

I know the variations have gotten better over the years but haven’t done too much research into it.

If you’re curious you can just create a live USB stick to test drive it. Won’t work well for gaming though.

I could see them not letting you directly search anymore, only through the LLM bot. Because that’s been how things have been going anyway, Google seems to fully ignore literal searches with quote marks now, presumably because it doesn’t fit their vision of using natural (imprecise) language. So why not make the LLM write the search query for you in a completely opaque way?

Papa Nurgle moment

Windows NP(OAFY)

I wonder if they will call the next versions 12 and especially 13. Alternative names:

• Windows AI (because all those new features are so transformative)
• Windows Azure Blue, Red and Yellow (Home and Pro, neither allowing local accounts, also Enterprise where non-hybrid AD still kinda works)
• Windows Edge 20XX (everything has to use cloud computing terms!)
• Windows. Just Windows. (four years later: Windows 2 announced!)

Please keep in mind that this is one columnist writing clickbait, not the entirety of women.

They used to make ones that can do both sides at once, but they were too complicated, expensive and basically immediately outdated when dual layer DVDs came around.

it is a mystery 👻

And if you want to know what’s in the food you can! Only $9.99 per month extra!

Shame somebody removed that code. At least RetroBar will still work. Hopefully.

From what I hear it’s usually more about back-handed compliments than outright insults, like “wow, you must have a lot of confidence in yourself to wear that, go you!”

IT workers != tech bros

But I don’t know either.

Not true, you can even buy it on Amazon if you really want to.

The law really need to be changed when it comes to this stuff, I’d rather take the inefficiency or even corruption than this (also inefficient and corrupt) nonsense.

Yeah, anyone who thinks that there’s exactly 16 types of person is using it like a horoscope, but that really isn’t the point.

but the “cognitive functions” as defined by Carl Jung, which a lot of people will find to be just as much non-sense but with the right attitude I think they’re a useful tool to learn about ourselves and others.

Exactly, and that’s what it helped me with. It’s not a personality test about how you act outwardly (or which Pokémon you are or whatever), it’s supposed to be about the inner workings.

But if you want an example of misuse: There’s an MBT community on Reddit that is full of that sort of bullshit.

Sounds like the test itself isn’t the problem but how it’s used and how much people attach to the results, like with IQ tests. Neither that nor Myers-Briggs should be part of interviewing for a job either but apparently some US companies do it anyway.
