    As someone living in the Baltic tides have always been so weird. My local lake is at most 5 meters deep, mostly around 3. Would they just dissappear completely?

    Poor Gaddafi was attacked by the corrupt NATO, to the disgust of the rest of the world (except that it was resolution by the UN security council).

    Gentoo is basically arch but built around everything being compiled locally. There isn't to my knowledge any "Gentoo-install", but if you can manage to install arch manually it should be quite similar. Gentoo is a bit more complex than arch so if installing gentoo manually seems daunting I would recommend staying on arch.

    I've tried it, but couldn't really get into it. Didn't feel like there was much deduction, but more just evidence collecting. However I didn't play for too long and I'm planning to try again. I assume it takes same time to get invested

  • It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?

    One of my favorite games of all time. Great story and a fun and interesting world. Love the progression that isn't the normal "weak in the prolouge, strong the rest of the game", as you feel weak for most of the game, making it super satisfying when you can confidently beat harder enemies.

    It makes sense when considering the old concept of "Family computers". Then familily share would allow each person in the family to have access to their own saves and achievements. Though I agree the system could use an update

    "IT is mainly introverts doing mysterious stuff no one understands"

    It is a very cooperative field where everyone has different roles with different responsibilities, but everyone has a vague idea what everyone else is doing. Most of the time is spent making sure everyone else can also use the systems you build, not just yourself.

    They help quitting since you only have to deal with the physical act of smoking (which in of itself is a very ingrained act) without dealing with nicotine withdrawal

  • The games they release are complete in them selves, and with 15-20€ dlces every ~6 months they keep the games fresh with new content. People rarely complain that features are missing from their games until it gets added in a DLC. Then suddenly it's a mandatory feature.

    Personally I have three accounts. This is my main, but I have a reserve for _stuff_ and one for my local region/language. What about you?

    Personally never had a problem with Victoria 3. A bit buggy on release but nothing game breaking

    Mine is to to keep chocolate in the fridge. It's a lot crunchier and has more chocolate taste.

    Album: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lQD48u4oLz_i144bTvoVShDeCcI2hVG3w&si=vbXrogJsBaK_hChZ What do you guys think of this new album? I would probably qualify it as dark/industrial folk metal for those who haven't heard it yet. I must say it usually takes me a while to warm up to this kind of music but some of these tracks are bangers straight of the bat. Really enjoy the amount of folk in this album, folk metal tends to turn into power metal but with a violin (not that it's necessarily a bad thing). I also like the variety, the tracks are different enough but not completely disconnected from each other. I would like to know what you're guys impressions are, though do note that this genre isn't for everyone.

    Most of the problems in the current internet landscape is caused by the cost of centralized servers. What problems are stopping us from running the fediverse on a peer to peer torrent based network? I would assume latency, but couldn't that be solved by larger pre caching in clients? Of course interaction and authentication should be handled centrally, but media sharing which is the largest strain on servers could be eased by clients sending media between each other. What am I missing? Torrenting seems to be such an elegant solution.

    I thought horseshoe theory was disproven but most posts on there could just as well be from far right extremists. It's just contrarianism for the sake of being contrarian.
