Natural disasters are also part of nature. It doesn't follow that I should want to be hit by a tsunami because of this. It doesn't matter if we're part of nature. The negative affects are enough to justify not allowing it to

A large quantity of my games are outright terrible to play on my steam deck. I have my games divided into categories based on if they're worth playing on it or not. For more intense games where the framerate is abysmal and audio stutte

The company doing well is a lovely outcome. However, at what point do they care about me doing well? Or do they just want to do the bare minimum to keep me alive and in my seat?

Astroneer is indeed a voxel game. With some trickery to make it appear differently.

The language is absolutely not the problem. It's not a particularly difficult or complex language at all. In fact, it's pretty elegant and easy to understand the language. It's the things built on top of it that are difficult

I don't want to pay for the car nor the gas. Let's not let the same hostage situation extend to other aspects of our lives it we can avoid it.

Even if someone could do fine, I'd prefer to skip out on them rather than let those who aren't fit through.

Solar panels would be nowhere near as effective far away from a star. Building things as far out as Jupiter or to traverse interstellar areas can't rely on them.

Well, conveniently, this is benefitting the 1% much more than the 99%

You'd do well here to not start attacking someone for how they want to live their life. Nothing about cooking means they have to stay inside while traveling. This is a fully valid way to do things. You can get access to new ingredients

On the level of the US federal government, taxes are absolutely not for funding. They could hardly be more removed from it. They're a restriction the money supply, but they don't determine what funding is.

When my Android phone broke in the past I was lent an iPhone 6s to use in the meantime. It was absolutely slow and many things didn't work. I ended up getting rid of it because having no phone was better than using it.

It's time to make WaylandX, for running Wayland applications on X. Well, I happily use Wayland so I won't use it, but maybe you would.

So the barrier to nix is... nix? No, the language is not the problem. It is not a particularly difficult language at all. There are plenty of actual problems to address, but the language isn't the issue.

Delivery to stores might be more efficient, but then the last mile cost doesn't go away. Most of the stuff that I would buy from Amazon isn't available at the stores that I go to so it would require an entirely separate trip to so

Why would I want a system level python install?

On Android you can change any of the volumes using the keys. No need to go into settings and find the option each time. I change mine throughout the day.

Imagine walking into a town square. There are the highest resolution cameras mounted every few feet that take a constant stream of input. People scoff at the idea that you might want less of them.

I think their thought was incomplete. It's a language-specific package manager. Out of that list I think there are some that have no business installing packages for use on the greater system. They work fine for development dependencie

Quite frankly, this is why I'm glad to no longer be part of such an organization. This is as close as you can toe the line of actually causing harm while still making it look beneficial.
