Funny thing just happened. Started working on a new project at work and in order to get properly set up I have to get WSL up and running. How convenient, and more than a little coincidental with the timing.

Futurama. Without a doubt.

Oh, I’m certainly not arguing with you. I have to use Windows for work and hate it. Been daily driving Linux for years on my own PC. I should find out if I can get WSL up and running on my work machine. I’ve been contenting myself with git bash thus far. PowerShell is at least better than CMD, but truthfully I’ve never really put the effort in to learn it properly since I very rarely need to do anything complicated on the command line in Windows.

Yes, they knew that, you described it fine. They were asking if Window’s equivalent, PowerShell or CMD is preferable. Though they fail to realize that most Windows users will never need to use either of those tools under normal operation, even if they could choose to use them to simplify some tasks. The terminal in Linux is encouraged, whereas equivalent(-ish) tools in Windows are optional and really only required for Sys Admins.

Multiplayer games often use a third party anti-cheat software. Some of them work on Linux, some of them don’t. What the previous commenter was referring to specifically is that some anti-cheat, like easy anti cheat has been updated to work in proton, but it requires that game developer push out an update to enable that functionality. Some do, and some (Bungie) have outright refused to do it, and even threaten bans for players that try to play on Linux.

Yeah, that was my impression of the game as well. It didn’t look very interesting.

It’s possible that I’ve misunderstood. And it’s also important to note that I was looking into this for the purposes of creating my own, single user instance. I wasn’t planning on posting to my own instance, just using it as a single logon where I could control what other instances I federated with.

Here it mentions not installing pict-rs and removing its configuration if you don’t need image hosting. My interpretation at the time was that it would mean that no images would be hosted locally on my instance. But that was very early on before I understood more about federation, and now I realize that it may in fact also mean that any content coming from federated instances could have images broken, not that it would load the images from the remote instance. So now, I no longer think that this is a solution for not syncing images, but I’m not at all sure of that.

No, but I bet I could find it again if I hadn’t just imagined it and made it up for this comment. Give me a few.

YDIFRC (You do, in fact, remember/recall correctly.)

When I was looking into hosting my own instance I thought I saw an option to disable media file replication entirely so that they would always have to be fetched from their home instance.

Star Trader Frontiers is also available on Android and iOS and is pretty good.

Plus, IIRC it’s got a procedural ASCII face generator.

Paradox recently announced that one of the studios they publish for is working on another life sim too. Don’t know much about that, but given it’s Paradox it’s going to suffer the same issues that EA has with just so much DLC to make it a complete game.

Game of Tones, The Late Phillip J. Fry both carry a pretty impactful gut punch too.

Don’t worry, I already know I’m wrong. The graph on this post clearly shows that I’m wrong and in the minority. But that doesn’t really change how I interpret it. I almost used Pretty Bad as another example that I think many would have agreed with, but didn’t end up doing that.

See, I don’t agree with this analysis. It works fine for your pretty straight example, but that’s because Straight is already as straight as it can be. Something can’t be extra straight. But if I were to say something is pretty cheap, I would actually mean that it’s cheaper than I would mean if I just said it was cheap. Generally when I use pretty to qualify something, it’s in relation to my preconceived notion about something, and that’s typically made obvious by the tone of my voice as I say it.

You know, I went into this movie with low expectations, but it’s actually pretty good.

but if I had just used good in that statement, it would be indicating nearly the same thing, but with a little less emphasis.

I’m pretty sure they will have to do separate updates to support hat. It was the lemmy-ui project that was updated with this new feature.

I’ve always considered pretty good to be a positive modifier on good, making it a little better than good. Not much, but better nonetheless. I’ve never really understood why other people consider it to be worse than good.

Rose, because she clearly wants to be painted like one of your french girls.

For a serious answer, you can upload an Avatar in your settings if you navigate there in your browser. You can also upload a banner, presumably for your profile, but I don’t know, I haven’t tried it.
