The biggest blunder of the framers was assuming we'd never form factions (i.e. parties). The assumption was that the branches would oppose each other, not collude.
The thing I dislike most about code assisting tools is that they're geared to answering your questions instead of giving advice. I'm sure they also give bad recommendations but I've seen LLMs basically double down on bad code.
So many...
FF7. Got all the way to Sepiroth, lost once and never retried. That save game is long gone so I'd have to start from nothing if I wanted to finish it.
FO3. After I left the vault the direction of the game was very open ended so I just kind of sputtered about, not really getting into the main quest.
BG2. I put a lot of hours into this game but I thought my the combat was wicked hard and certain side quests took way too long so again I couldn't really get into the main to storyline.
The chocobo race was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in a video game. I think it's 30% skill and 70% luck. Key for me was missing the birds (or whatever those things were that hit you) one or two hits and you're fucked.
Noita. I don't see how a single person has beaten it. Wand building is basically a game within the game (and I don't get it -- ditto for potions), the character is squishy with barely any healing mechanism, and every playthrough is randomized so there's not a lot to learn from your mistakes. I guess it's not a casual game (what I usually go for). I can't see anyone getting any better at it if they only play it a few hours a week and watching just as many tutorial videos.
I'm playing on Expert mode and I refuse to dial it down. The Twins are kicking my ass so hard.
That's to say there are legitimate uses of the word. Most other slurs have the one meaning.
If this is legal then it's a giant gaping loophole in the system. Not just because it's easy to harass someone but because it sounds incredibly easy for a cop to call in an "anonymous tip" on someone they suspected of wrongdoing but had no evidence to support it. I'm almost positive the Supreme Court has even held that evidence that was gathered in the course of raiding the wrong building is legal as it's an "honest mistake".
Gotta pick on groups that very few people are familiar with. Over the decades it's been Africans, Irish, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Homosexuals, Muslims, Transgendered, Venezuelans (biggest driver of recent immigration), and now Haitians. If you decided to demonize Mexicans now you'd probably instantly get boos and sour looks because nearly all of us know someone of Mexican lineage and can sniff out most bullshit about their culture.
About the only "evil" I see in her is the pussyfooting with Netanyahu. Dude is straight up a war criminal.
I always thought the biggest problem with these wasn't light penalties but that perpetrators were rarely caught because they plan things out and 10 seconds after you realize something's happening they're in the car driving off.
I'm all for something like this but I would never assume the GOP wouldn't go nuclear like this just to kick out a Democrat they really dislike or time it when they think it's most advantageous (e.g. just after a redistricting).
The rule should probably be that failure to pass a bill means current funding is extended for 3 months with an increase based on inflation.
The main reason Texas is not "in play" it's because everyone assumes it can't be "in play". Over 5 million registered Texans did not vote in 2020! Among them there is definitely 700k Democratic votes and that would be a landslide win for Harris.
This is where primaries are vitally important. They provide accountability with low risk to the overall direction of governance.
Not just little children, infants.
And the reason more than one woman has needed a hysterectomy after being denied a medically necessary abortion.
Did I sound like I believed a lick of his nonsense?
I hate writing lengthy apology letters too.
I'd say it's more like he "baselessly accuses" them. Saying your source is social media is about as meaningful as saying your source is your gut.
At this point the undecideds look 10X dumber than the average MAGA supporter. MAGAs either fell for the rage bait or they think they'll be rewarded somehow (also falling for that lie since Trump only ever rewards his own family). But to be fucking "undecided" between what I think is a somewhat moderate and capable candidate in Harris and a clearly authoritarian grifter in Trump, you need to be straight up committed to a hospital because you probably have a tumor.
I'm incredibly close to pulling the trigger to make WattOS my new distro for my netbook. I've been using antiX for a while and it's really great overall but the lack of systemd has worn me down I feel. A few programs I want to use just don't work properly without systemd and I don't have the patience to fill in the gaps myself.
My only real concern with WattOS is the fact it seems so mysterious. There's very little info on their site and NO LICENSE OR SOURCE CODE OR REPOSITORY! I highly doubt Russia or China are trying to weasel their way into old AF computers to create a botnet but I've never seen a Linux project be so secretive.
Anyone else have some light to shed on this project?
I usually avoid sentinels unless I need pugneum but this last encounter I had was ridiculous. I killed 3-4 of them after stealing some Gravitino balls then of course reinforcements were inbound. I get in my ship and fly off and 10 seconds later an interceptor wa on me. My ship didn't have a good combat loadout and I couldn't escape it so I landed. Of course more ground units came so I started running. 7 minutes later they're still chasing me and I don't even see them. I was even running underground for at least 30s. A message kept coming up saying to destroy them to get a chance to escape so I waited for them to catch up and destroyed them. More reinforcements arrived in like 15s and spawned right next to me. How the hell could I escape that? So I got back to my ship and started looking for shelter because another interceptor was on my tail. I found one quickly before taking any hits and got in. Well, no timer came up, they were still just there, albeit really far away. I pretty much had to stand outside, wait for them to come into visual range, then run back to the shelter and THEN the search timer started. Oh, and more than once my alert level went up without shooting anything, just running around and hiding. Is this how it normally works? Any better way to approach this so I don't waste 20 mins of game time?
Edit: more details about the chase
Update: Having a run-in with more sentinels it seems like behavior has changed (again, maybe bugged). Going underground they didn't follow or attack but also never dispersed. Running into a building without a door (Abandoned Building) doesn't disperse them but they don't attack. I was able to shake them once by transitioning from ship to on-foot (a timer starts every time you transition it seems) then jumping into water before the sentinels arrived. I'm sure it also works to pop out of a hole and defeat every wave but I'm not very into that kind of thing.
Couldn't find the project in my browser history or Lemmy saves. I'm pretty sure it was Lemmy though that led me to find a GitHub project similar to OSTree. It sounded like it was maintained by one person and it hasn't been updated in a long time because the author thought it was "done" and they used it frequently.
It was a tool that let them basically create images that could be booted from and it was easy to layer software on top of a base image and I think there were config files similar to Containerfiles but didn't look the same. Don't think it be was "goldboot" either but that might be a little closer to what the project does. I don't think it was something Fedora specific either like bootc.
Update: Found it! It was in the history of a laptop I rarely use (of course). The project is https://github.com/godarch/darch and it does appear to be those things I said: layered, docker-like, bare metal, and OS agnostic.
I just pulled down the latest Firefox Dev Edition AppImage and still getting the same result. I try to login to GitLab and I get an endless loop of checking whether I'm human or not. I tried to turn off tracking protection for GitLab and Cloudflare and added both to accept all cookies. In the network tab it eventually shows 403s. Anyone else have this happen or know if I can disable any more safety/privacy features to get it working?
Been waiting for it to go on sale and figured my son might like it since he plays Minecraft a lot. Wondering if I gotta watch out for in-game purchases though (can I require password for purchases?) and online interactions (def don't want him chatting with others). It is seems pretty hack and slash but if a lot of reading is involved maybe he's too young for it (6 ½).
Edit: Sorry, meant to say Dungeons, not Legends.
I've looked at a lot of other immutable distros and I might just end up using one of those, but I feel like taking on a bit of a challenge and there's a few things I'm not very keen on with existing solutions (last paragraph is my idea if you want to skip the context).
Most immutable systems I've seen require a reboot in order to apply system changes. What is this, Windows? Yeah, reboots are quick but restoring my windows and getting back into my groove is not quick. Also, every immutable OS I've seen wants you to opt-in to a rollback. Rarely do I see the full effects of installing a package or altering a config immediately. By the time I notice an issue maybe it's too late to rollback to before the change or maybe I've done a few other things since and I don't want to rollback everything. I would much prefer to make "rolling forward" or persisting changes to be a very conscious process.
I started messing with BTRFS and I think I've come up with a process that will get me what I want, no matter the distro. Please poke holes in my idea. So I think I can use BTRFS to hold data for the rootfs in three different subvolumes (at minimum): root-A, root-B, root-Z. root-Z is my golden image and it represents what I want root to look like after reboot. root-A and root-B are the active and passive instances of rootfs, but which one is active will flip-flop after every reboot. So if I boot with A, B gets replaced with the contents of Z. In the meantime I can do whatever I want with A. Not sure how I'll update Z (chroot or "promote" the active subvol to be Z) but without an update every reboot is an automatic rollback.
Thoughts?
This stuff moves so fast I really can't keep up and a lot of the research posted here goes a bit over my head. I'm looking for something that doesn't seem too out of the question given things like CLIPSeg. Is there some tool or library out there that will accept an image and a prompt and then generate a mask within the image that generally corresponds to the prompt?
For example, if I had a picture of an empty park and gave the prompt "little girl flying a kite" I should get back a mask vaguely in the shape of a child with a sort of blob mask in the sky for the kite. Of course from there I could use the mask to inpaint those things. I would really like to be able to layer an image kind of like Photoshop so it's not all-or-nothing and focus on one element at a time. I could do the masking manually but of course we all want fewer steps in our workflows.
Couple of things for me.
One is tiny croutons. I don't see them anywhere anymore. They taste the same but it's kind of a pain sometimes to keep the big ones on your fork. The small ones were a little more satisfying to snack on too.
Second is Blue Nehi. Never met anyone else that's tried or heard of it. Damn it was good though. Big Blue is kinda similar but those always taste under carbonated.
Official docs say it's for > Packages that are only needed for local development and testing.
Umm, okay. Not 100% clear there. Some articles mention things like ESLint or Jest (k, I'm onboard there) but others mention Babel or WebPack. I get that you don't need WebPack libraries to be loaded in the browser but how the hell do you bundle up your code without it? When you use npm ci or npm install you'll get all dependencies but isn't it good practice (in a CICD environment) to use --omit=dev or --only=prod?
Do I have to do some special search query? My favorites tab shows posts only.
Did air travel get (gasp) easier?
I just went through airport security and was quite surprised how easy it was (relatively speaking). Didn't have to go through a body scanner, didn't have to separate liquids, didn't have to take out my laptop, and my boarding pass wasn't even scanned. Did some rules change? Is their thoroughness related to terrorist threat levels?
What I mean by n-to-n sharing is that I have all of my devices sharing the same folder with every other device. This has definitely been a bit of a pain to set up and manage (moreso because a few machines use Docker so they're basically double-NAT'd). My biggest concern is having conflicts out the wazoo and losing data. The most important thing to me is my KeePass vault.
Vice President Kamala Harris is doubling down on her rebuke of new Florida education guidelines that call for the teaching of how enslaved people benefited from slavery. In an interview&…
I had to read like half the article to be sure she wasn't saying that slavery having no benefits is "ridiculous".
Amidst all the SDXL stuff I'm sure this will get overlooked but I've been trying to share more of my gens and my code instead of keeping it all to myself.
I made a downloader for models. Now that I'm posting it I do kinda of wonder how useful it is but at one point I thought it was a great idea. I suppose I didn't like the idea of not being able to wipe the installation and start fresh with minimal effort (or if I one day have a new main for SD stuff).
Anyway, here it is as a Gist: https://gist.github.com/MalikKillian/2be8af358111049848139d95abddee64
Just tried using it for the first time. I wrote some text, highlighted it, then hit the spoiler button. What I saw was this:
Don't show this
When he was still in diapers but old enough to sleep in a normal bed we had a child lock on his door to keep him out of trouble. We took off the safety knob soon after he started using the potty (that was over a year ago). It didn't happen immediately but slowly and moreso over the last few weeks he's coming into our room at 10p, 12a, or even 3a. It's usually stuff like a "monster in the closet", "I'm out of water", "I can't find my stuffed animal", or "my music box turned off". Telling him things like "turn on your light and see what's there", "monsters don't exist", or "the bathroom is open and you can refill your cup" he'll eventually have the same problem and wake us up again.
Is this just a phase he'll grow out of or is there a better way to help him solve more of these problems on his own?
