“I fuck Arch, btw.”

Yep, 2004 is about right, going through terminal emulators and reminiscing on old protocols that no longer mattered because of broadband and TCP/IP. Time flies, that’s for sure.

Probably incremental, but I’ll tell you this: I certainly remember the benefit of ZMODEM-90 with MobyTurbo over YMODEM-g.

I haven’t thought of that protocol feature in about 20+ years. Saved so much extra time transferring over long-distance ($$$).

Schrödinger’s inbox

There’s an example at the top along with the instructions.

This ain’t exactly the Mississippi.

I never played the latest one, which may be for the best?

Me neither, I feel the same. I remember passin up DXMD on release to give it time. 7 years should be enough, right?

Hbomberguy’s video made me realize exactly why it didn’t feel that way to me.

All of the glaring issues are coming back vividly as I am watching this. I remember the frustration with the forced narrative. It was a decent looking game on release though, I do remember that.

Unrelated… If I could recommend another,

I’ll be sure to watch it, thank you.

Edit: grammar

I was a believer. I wanted DXHR to be a worthy successor to DX, as DXIW certainly was not. I was preloaded and ready to go at launch.

If you haven’t seen this

No I haven’t… I know what I’ll be doing for the next four hours. Great catch.

my no-kill run…

And on the opposite end, if you wanted to be an efficient killer, the laser targeting system weapon modification with the sniper rifle renders the scope innacurate—and apparently it was never fixed, even in DXHRDC!

This was reported on DXHR launch… that’s just nasty.

As an original Deus Ex player I really enjoyed the game and setting, but the endings felt so lazy and dumb to me.

I had the same reaction and I couldn’t believe it. Of the original, the “easiest” ending made sense, and the other two were obvious strategic encounters with very different paths of engagement.

I couldn’t bring myself to finish DXHRDC because I was certain that even after the additional strategies were added to the bossfights they wouldn’t bother with endings. Maybe I’ll go through it one day to find out.

Thunder is so much better.

Is it though?

I use Liftoff as a secondary to Sync exclusively for its Nerd stuff data. The polish is mostly covered, the raw underlying data is what matters to me.

I’m not aware of any software phasing out X11 support in favor of Wayland.

No, it isn’t. Wayland is a toy for people who play. X11 is a tool for people who work.

The concept of work is relative. See below.

Won’t be long now before your your favorite DE’s will only be available on Wayland, and be missing features because of it.

That doesn’t concern me at all personally—and if I wore your temperament on my sleeve, DEs should get the fuck away from X11 altogether.

My use case requirements have never involved DEs, and if I ever want to flirt with that kind of casual experience it may as well be with new boobs like Wayland.

I could huff “get off my lawn” just as hard as any other, but why? Let people choose whatever they want.

It does not FULLY replace X11 functionality, and they have no intent to fix that.

No kidding. That’s the entire mission statement of Wayland.

Why go backwards and break what works for our daily jobs?

Nothing is stopping you from using X11 outside of company policy, which is an entirely different problem.

It fucking moronic.

No it’s not.

I’m a longtime user of X11 and vastly prefer it for what I do, but I’m not going to force the opinion of my preference on others with different use case requirements.

C’mon, the *nix world is big enough for choice.

When you’re work crap (in this case, X11) starts poorly replacing things I use for gaming, then yes!

FTFY.

What the hell kind of gatekeeping is this anyway?

You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

We are a period-genuine curiosity that will certainly be reconstructed in the future—if the data is available to do so. Our lives, logs, and transactions are a finite resource if simply because they are real.

Imagine a hobby, digging up old logs and piecing together various accounts across deep datsets, working toward a bigger picture… and then realize this is all intuited through whatever present AI. No labor involved, at all, and there is no time limit on this.

We’re all eventually just an intelligent query away from being rediscovered if outside of average in any respect, and even the most average person will become a celebrated oddity.

Orthography Etymology and meaning

The English word orthography dates from the 15th century. It comes from the French: orthographie, from Latin: orthographia, which derives from Ancient Greek: ὀρθός (orthós, ‘correct’) and γράφειν (gráphein, ‘to write’).

Isn’t that its nominative declaration?

Decentralized myself

That’s the way I see it.

I’ve got several identities spread across different regions, interests, and TLDs in preparation for varying levels of interference all the way from defederation to government intervention.

This appears to be the new way forward, and I’m down.

The kbin webui likes to summarize.

For example the mention @shadearg@lemmy.world simply displays @shadearg as a link to https://lemmy.world/u/shadearg, completely obscuring the format of the actual mention.

I suspect that the direct community link may be transformed in a similar way.
