I was reinforcing your point about using a monitor and a Linux PC not being able to replace all the things a smart TV can do. You said streaming would work, but regular TV channels wouldn’t, and I pointed out that even streaming would be limited as the major streaming services don’t allow full quality via a browser, especially on Linux where HDCP can’t work.

Sorry, streaming from a browser on a Linux PC is limited to 540x860 due to an inability to establish an HDCP chain. Have you tried using the TV’s native Netflix app instead?

Innocent until proven guilty is a mantra used when determining if the state can deploy violence and curtail your liberties, e.g. by physically confining you in a prison. It’s not a universally applicable rule, and isn’t what’s used in civil court, where judgements are made on balance of probabilities (i.e. if they think the evidence suggests it’s more likely that you’ve done something than that you haven’t) and isn’t what’s used in contexts other than the legal system, like when a duty of care exists - generally it wouldn’t be enough to say someone was safe to work with children if they were only probably not a paedophile.

It’s my understanding that there isn’t enough knowledge available to the public to exhonorate Snoop Dogg, and without that, he’s left looking sketchier than he was before. One dropped allegation could be nothing, or the start of a pattern, and that’s different to there being no allegations at all.

Looks cheaper than a horse or motorbike, too, so also cost effective.

What if I wasn’t gay this morning and thought it would have to be Marceline from context, but looked nothing like her?

Tankies are advocating for the USSR, with any eventual communist utopia being optional.

You can theoretically make a Bethesda-Game-Studios-style game with no Bethesda IP if you do it with OpenMW. Come to the light side, our website has no tracking cookies.

To paraphrase one of the comments from the last time this was posted, being mean it’s wilfully making the lives of those around you worse, and being cringe is negligently making the lives of those around you worse. One you start being cringe on purpose, it’s just a high-effort way to be mean.

You can’t tell me what to do! (You can, however, tell me how I’d go about disobeying you as I’m very interested in overclocked underwear, and know it’s not got an unlocked multiplier, but have never gone about FSB overclocking and don’t know what I’m doing with it.)

Yes and no. Yes in that it’s a different shell that is intended to be used instead of something like Bash, and isn’t compatible with Bash scripts. However, unlike Fish and Zsh, it’s also not compatible with plain POSIX sh, so you have to run plain shell scripts by calling into something else that is sh-compatible.

nushell is a thing, and basically has all the fun powershell features like a type system, but a more Unixy presentation. I’ve not used it, so don’t know if it’s actually any good, but it at least exists.

Modern computers are set up so that they can use the SSD/hard drive as extra, much slower RAM. Typically, when normal RAM is full, and you need more, a page of data in RAM will be swapped for a page of data on disk. On Unix, they end up in something called the swap file or swap partition, and on Windows, the equivalent is called the page file. In the screenshot, someone’s mounted their Google Drive as a filesystem, and told their computer to use it as the swap partition, so instead of swapping to disk, it swaps to the cloud. This is obviously way slower, but they’re effectively now using the cloud as RAM.

Plenty of people call North Korea the DPRK as that’s it’s official name, despite being well aware that it’s undemocratic, not a republic not for the people, and only of half of Korea, even in the same sentence as condemning it for not being the things it claims to be. What you’re saying is effectively equivalent to saying anyone in favour of democracy is evil on the grounds that North Korea labels itself as democratic, and is a bad place.

That’s because way back in the past, every September, a bunch of students who’d never had home internet access would have access via university for the first time. It would take some time for them to pick up the culture, so there’d be a month or so of questionable posts.
