Reeks of the chat history access attempts and the like, or is it just my paranoia?

Jeder Tag ist der beste Tag, wenn du ein DOOM Fan bist.

Reject modernity, embrace tradition - we’ll still be there for you in the arena and boomer shooter crowd, and of course, various Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2 lobbies.

Come prepared.

Ich (Russe) bin meistens hier wenn ich was auf deutsch schauen will und jetzt übersetze ich einfach zu viel anstatt etwas Angelasächsisch zu nutzen. :c

Doch das hilft gar, weil es viel einfacher ist, mit Nichticheiler*innen zu reden, wenn ich Lehnwörter nutzen kann.

Als wir sagen auf russisch, es ist schwer beim Lernen, es ist leicht (einfach?) beim Kämpfen. Danke für meine Sprachlernungverletzungen, Brudi und Brudinenn, und jeder außer auch!

Das geht nicht, es gibt einfach zu viel Angriffmöglichkeiten

Wir sind doch mindestens glücklich hier - du siehst, dass sie lächeln, oder?

Thank you.

Ruski here.

This is still hella expensive. 150 rubles for half a liter of beer is around double (maybe 1.5x for some brands) what they cost in probably most shops, with some being cheaper in alcohol-centered shops.

Some actually imported stuff goes for that price and tastes considerably better.

There’s also domestic beer and the like for around the same price (some cheaper, some more expensive) that tastes better, too.

And all in all, considering the incomes and purchasing power, that 1.6 EUR average in restaurants and stuff sure doesn’t feel good.

I don’t know the term for this, but this is most likely related to projecting.

Basically, by treating the people you kind of want to be well or something, you’re kind of making a deal, subconsciously, with “the universe”, ultimately hoping that your good behavior is rewarded (sooner than later) and you get to be the rich one. Maybe part of it is about some instinct to submit, to follow a leader rather than to be one, too; maybe it’s about trying to signal to the powers that be that you’re good and should be rewarded.

Of course, all of this is a load of crap, but these are the relatively easier ways to think about things, which ends up to be less taxing on our (admittedly) lazy brain.

Bias be biasing.

Well, conflict is, pretty much, the backbone of any story, narrative, or motive. Has been for long.

Still, I’m not sure it’s all that relevant and necessary for a video game, I agree. Some of them just let me do things I can’t in real life, like building my stupid base on different planets and moons, or transforming the landscape for the sake of it.

That’s a direct pipeline, it seems. Goes straight to the EU.

There’s a different pipeline (maybe several, not sure) going through Ukraine.

Nun, poppu klingt wie russisch попу oder попа, das heißt der Podex/Po.

So eine Kombination da

I think it’s worth advocating for quitting shitty games, though.

Out of many friends I’ve had who (used to) frequent games like PUBG, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant, Overwatch, etc., most were just having a bad time, all the time. Granted, some of these work on Linux, but the point is, those of my friends that still play Overwatch (“2”, lol) just seem to be happier and more functional when they have to quit for some period of time.

I’ve been having a much better time with my life once I went for the good old enjoyment rather than chasing rank or wins or skill, finally making time to play amazing single-player titles again or just screwing around in online games.

And curiously enough, the online games I actually want to play and have fun doing so are the ones that work on Linux, while the rest thankfully refuses!

Pure Arch here, no issues with Proton whatsoever.

Any chance this could have been related to EndeavourOS in any way? Like with something pre-installed?

I’m just being curious and throwing ideas here.

Mostly that for me on Nvidia (proprietary drivers), although 555 broke my 2nd DVI-D monitor (which is admittedly old, but I don’t have any reasons to replace the little guy).

Nevertheless, I’m very set on getting an AMD GPU whenever I have to replace my GTX 1080 from 2017.

Habe sowie Michmich nicht erwartet und erst verstand nicht, was ich sah, trotzdem ich habe einige Male das “nix” OS gesehen. ;)

I’m a lazy bastard that can’t be bothered to check the history. I guess that’s for the likes of me?

Not sure what lists you’re talking about, but it’s nerding time anyway.

The backslash (the \ symbol) is used to “escape” characters in the software world, i.e. tell the software to treat the following character as a simple symbol, not some instruction. It’s very well-known among developers, so if they happen to be the ones writing guides on Markdown (the syntax where you use asterisks and some other symbols to dictate the final layout while having the luxury of being able to edit the document in a plain-text editor), it can actually elude them because it’s mundane.

In fact, some software won’t allow you to use the backslash in short text fields such as names or passwords because doing so could potentially open up security risks where the malicious actors “inject” some instructions into software to cause all sorts of trouble. On the other hand, this is probably a redundant old measure, as there are usually other means to prevent this kind of attack today, but that’s the power of habit, I guess; and, well, if it’s a simple measure that works, there’s not much reason to get rid of it, is there?

Obligatory fuck AI and the illeterate bros pushing it.

What kind of videos, though? A lot of such material is very far from being proper educational material that we show other people to really teach them much, let alone educate them well enough to be anywhere trustworthy. This is a very processed material, with years of preparation once you consider the prior education of the individuals involved in the creative process - think of the past experiences silently influencing them, their initial knowledge on the subject obtained from somewhat basic facts from school or otherwise, their misconceptions, iterations that nobody knows about, and many other things that we don’t usually directly associate with the act of working on something like a video, but that eventually do dictate a lot of the decisions and opinions put into it.

It’s one thing that the AI has no intelligence in it whatsoever, but the fact that it’s being pumped with information and “knowledge” in basically the reverse order doesn’t help it become any better.

On the other hand, the entire thing is not about making something that works well, but something that sells well. And then there’s people putting too much faith into the thing and trusting it with way too much stuff than they should (which is also the case with a lot of other tech, though, admittedly).

Some things of today are so damn unexciting.
