They requested the delay to July, since he is in court for another case in another area. I suppose it was reasonable to grant it. It’d be unfair for someone to not get their right to a trial, even if they were found guilty of a crime in another area.

It’d make more sense to keep him in custody in the meantime though. I mean, that’s what they do for normal people. Right?

Ready for nothing to happen?

Yeah, that’s the internet for you. Anything you want to stay around will vanish someday, and anything you want gone will be here forever.

Yeah, you get to pick your cat in Prism.

Steam will do refunds to the payment method used if fewer than 30 days have passed, but after that point, they’ll only refund to Steam Wallet. At least, that’s how it worked last time I checked.

They forced everyone off Origin and onto the EA App.

They still didn’t make a remember password button that works.

In an elevator, or I guess a lift, what do the buttons that select floors represent the ground floor with? A ‘G’? A “0”?

I mean, they’re useful instructions. How often at the time did you need to take a photo of the tv? And you were likely not going to know how the photo looked until you got it developed, so it’s important that you get the photo right the first time, because there may not be a second chance, since you’ll have to run down to the pharmacy, grocery store, or wherever you get your photos developed, and wait for them to come back to see that you messed it up or not, and by then, your parents may have turned the console off.

Can we really handwave away the whole Adam and Eve thing though?

If we do, then what did Jesus die for?

There’s not really any use for them. There are really no tasks they can help a normal person with in their everyday. I guess you could talk to it like it’s a person, but that’s sad, and is probably unhealthy, and you should probs just talk to a real person instead.

Now if you do some specialized tasks, like programming, but aren’t very good, I guess I can see some use for them.

I’m having trouble seeing any uses for them beyond those though.

Well, I never really thought about it until now either. Haha. Though, it was mostly a choice of apathy, since when I’m dead I won’t really care what someone does with them, I only really get to pretend that I will while I’m alive today.

If they’re not charging for my organs that get donated, then that’s pretty cool. I mean, I was given mine for free, so it only makes sense to give them for free when I’m done with them.

Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere, so whether they’ll find someone who can use my stuff before it goes bad is a whole different thing entirely.

It’s good that you were able to find some lungs.

My ID says I am, but I’m not registered anywhere else. Why did I have my ID say it? Because I felt like it that day when I renewed it. That’s literally all there was to it.

Real talk though, I almost don’t think I should be donating my organs. Why should the hospital get for free what they’re going to charge a family hundreds of thousands of dollars for?

So by putting a stamp on an absentee ballot, therefore paying the postal service to deliver it, am I committing an Alabama felony? Or are interactions with the postal service explicitly exempted from it?

And be careful, a lot don’t have built in speakers either. Don’t just expect to get a TV out of a commercial display.

No, it’s not, and it’d be an example of the decentralization working as intended.

The benefits of being able to have many communities for the same thing can really shine here. As an ‘experiment’, make a lemmy instance of your own, ban all discussion of these topics, and create communities for the things you like there while enforcing the new rules. If the benefits of not discussing those topics are worthwhile to people, they’ll start interacting with your instance and you’ll have made a nice thing for yourself. Otherwise I guess you can keep to yourself in the bubble that you were seeking to create.

No, it’s better to be honest. The average user isn’t ready for Linux, because Linux is not ready for the average user. I’d never try and get someone to use it if they’re not already interested. I hate that it is this way, but it is. Linux is only really for people who already want to use it. Because if you’re not interested in using it, you’re not going to put forth the time investment to gain the benefits from it. No matter what angle I look at it from Linux is not for the average person.

Your second paragraph says it all. Find out if the user needs to dual boot? The answer is obviously “No” because no matter what they’re using the computer for, Linux is unneeded for them, since they have Windows. There are tangible benefits to using Windows, since it runs their software, meanwhile, you failed to list any real benefits to using Linux for the average user. It’s faster? No, not really, since they’ll be learning how to use it, and even ignoring that, it’s not so much faster that they’ll perceive it anyway. It’s more secure? Not really, Windows is the better choice for the average user in that respect, since it’ll automatically force them to restart the machine every week to install security updates. Main choice of professionals? That’s not entirely true, and even if it were, it’s not relevant, the average user is not a professional. And for anyone who already owns a computer already running Windows, Windows was ‘free’ too.

The only time to have this discussion is if the user is having a PC built, and then the answer is also “No” to Linux, because they’re going to buy Windows anyway, since it’s better for gaming, and that’s the primary reason for someone to build a PC, unless they’re doing a specialized task like video editing, and if they are invested enough into the task to want a PC just for that, they have specialized software that almost always runs only on Windows, and even if it were able to run on either, it’s not my place to alter their workflow.

The real elitist attitude is thinking people need to use Linux in the first place. For me and (maybe) you, it might get the job done, but for my family and friends. It’s better that they use what they’re comfortable with. The main point of a computer is to accomplish tasks, and giving them Linux is a hindrance to that.

Linux is great, but it’s not for everyone, and it may never be.

The problem was the last game. It kind of ruined the entire series. I didn’t like the artstyle change between games. But it also just felt like it was not as good compared to the previous entries. Also they introduced time travel, time travel is like a story killer. Of course, the story was already dead with other choices they had made.

I felt like a 4th sly cooper game should have been about Sly’s child since the themes were already about some multigenerational thief family. Sly’s child would have wanted to be a cop just like mom, and then been confused after finding out that his family’s criminal roots. It could have been a more adult story, for the now more adult players who were children with the previous games. I dunno.

Make note about what? This is a good thing. They went through the efforts to acquire the rights for the training data, and people might have even been paid for the original work.

It’s not like this stops someone from paying artists or photographers to make art or photos for their training data, or creating some sort of group where contributors actively give the rights to their own artwork or photos for a model, like some sort of open source project kind of thing, people love that kind of stuff! You’re just acting like this is some awful thing, when it’s completely fine, and the way it should be.

Honestly, if you want to use Nintendo Switch JoyCons as your PC controller, your best bet is to just use the JoyCons. I’m not sure if later revisions corrected it, but the HTC Vive controllers had pretty poor build quality, I’m not confident they could stand up to any real heavy usage.

The biggest issue with them though, is that they simply have too few buttons to do anything great with. On each one, you get two side buttons, a menu button, a power button, and (this is what kills it) a single trigger. This gives us 4 real buttons on each. We need ~16 to emulate a real controller, and we’re only half way there. You might be able to squeak out some extra buttons from the touch pads, but I’m kind of assuming you’d be using those as joysticks, since the controllers have none. Having buttons and joysticks both in there sounds like a bad time.

So yeah, I’d probs go with the JoyCons and just live with the poor wireless range if possible. It kind of sucks, but they seem to be the right tool for the job.
