I can’t comment on the other things, but the skull is obvious - it’s for drinking, and the top half functions like a lid you can flap on and off, like a German beer stein.

Now I’m no apocalypse expert, but I feel like a knife taped to some rebar doesn’t make for a very viable arrow, or at least not one that the pictured bow could fire

Edit: is that a curtain tassle they’ve used for fletching?

anything we can do to push gaming into Linux would help it to become a better everyday OS

I feel like the SteamDeck and SteamOS have already done more for Linux gaming than ChromeOS ever had the potential for.

Sounds like he doesn’t want to spend his time tinkering, but playing.

Ehhh, I feel like this person is a tinkerer, it’s just the things they wanna tinker with don’t play nice with Linux.

Installing a modded version of Minecraft indicates a desire to tinker. Roblox is a game based around the concept of tinkering. EA games (especially ones from 7 years ago) require some level of tinkering even in Windows.

I really do think term limits are a better solution than a hard age cap. Term limits would help address the age issue, and it would also make “career politician” a less viable career. That’s a bigger problem imo - politicians doing politics for profit, as a career, rather than as a civic duty. That’s a big part of why we have younger Republicans like MTG, Lauren Boebert, JD Vance, etc. whom a hard age cap would not effect for another couple decades at least.

Cocoa goes great in all kinds of stews and braises, but unfortunately a lot of times people hear “cocoa” and immediately jump to “ew, chocolate in my chili? Gross!”

I’m pretty sure boxed pudding mix is mostly cornstarch, sugar, maybe some powdered milk or powdered eggs, flavoring, and then dyes and preservatives. If you just dumped a box of pudding mix into a basic lean dough (just flour, water, salt, and yeast), you’d end up with something close to a typical enriched dough (lean dough plus stuff to make it sweeter, more tender, etc). Obviously the sugar and flavorings are gonna sweeten things, and the cornstarch might have a tangzhong-like effect where it traps water, leading to a softer, moister, more tender finished product. It’ll also probably interfere with gluten formation, which will also lead to a softer, more tender dough.

To figure out what it could replace, let’s consider what’s in a “normal” cinnamon roll dough first. Commonly a typical cinnamon roll dough is basically brioche dough, so a lean dough enriched with eggs, a touch of sugar, and a healthy amount of butter. Egg yolks, sugar, and butter all interfere with gluten formation and lead to a softer dough, while egg white might lend a bit of structure, but realistically is mostly just contributing water.

So the most obvious thing that’s being replaced is the sugar. If the pudding mix contains some sort of powdered dairy product, that might lend some dairy flavor, but you’d still need some sort of fat. If the pudding mix contains powdered egg, that might lend some egg flavor, but powdered egg has less fat than fresh, so again you may need to supplement there as well. If the pudding mix contains cornstarch, I’d consider lessening the amount of flour in the dough to make sure it’s still at the right hydration level.

Note: I’ve never done any of this myself, so this whole thing is basically just an educated guess 😅

Imagine that, people don’t mind when they have to wait 10-15 minutes every once in a while for their game to update, but they do mind waiting 15-30 seconds every time they navigate to a new webpage.

in a way that you can’t see what is going to be installed.

You can look at the Dockerfile and see every single step that goes into building a particular image.

It is also double resource heater.

That’s patently false.

And it has many frequent vulnerabilities

Dawg have you ever actually used docker?

Steam’s store is basically just a web browser built into the Steam app isn’t it?

The problem with using it for real time tech support is that when someone else comes along with the same problem, they have to search chat logs and hope they can find the thread where the issue was mentioned/fixed. Forums are much better at making past information accessible, but you’re right, a chat client like discord is better for quick response times. It’s a trade-off I suppose

Yes, discord is for chatting, that’s correct. It’s not a tech support platform, nor is it a documentation repo, yet people commonly try to use it as such.

Yeah usually when engineers take extra effort to do something non-standard, it’s at a specific request from a client or management

I run PopOS on my gaming computer. I blanket update whatever has updates in the PopShop on a daily basis. My computer has been rock solid for going on three years. I haven’t had to mess with any settings aside from a bit of audio config (through the built in UIs, nothing in the terminal) when I first installed.

This sentiment of “every time I update my Linux installation breaks” is like ten years out of date at least at this point.

This person is literally pointing a finger and saying Linux isn’t capable lmao

Fortnite and Warzone developers are responsible for failing to develop for anything other than Windows, consoles, and sometimes Mac.

The worst part is, they don’t even really have to target Linux if they don’t want to. The guys working on Wine and Proton have already done the hard work there. All they have to do is not use garbage anti-cheat software, or Linux-compatible anti-cheat software.

The other worst part is that they do use Linux-compatible anti cheat software, which other games like Apex Legends use and work through Wine/Proton in Linux, but they just don’t enable it for Fortnite for some reason.

I’m not trying to doubt you, I’m just genuinely curious - what are you walking your parents through that they need to use the terminal?

The Vitamix is the standard choice for restaurants. It’s consistently out performed every other blender on the market for literal decades, is built like a tank, and makes smoother purees than anything else.

It’s an absolutely insane purchase for a home cook to make though lmao. The ninja you have, while it might not be as well built, works like 90% as well as a Vitamix but for a tiny fraction of the cost. And for a home cook that maybe uses a blender once a day, it doesn’t make sense to pay for the durability and slightly increased performance of a Vitamix. Whereas for a restaurant that might use a blender dozens of times a day, it’s absolutely worth it for them to go with the Vitamix.

Nah, you’re getting too deep into your own feelings. Most threads I’ve seen where people start talking about Linux as a viable gaming option, it’s because some commenter or the OP mentions a problem they’re facing in Windows, which is directly solved or mitigated in Linux. Also, most of the time when people recommend Linux, it comes with warnings like “it has a learning curve” and “not everything works”. The hard line Linux-or-bust types are definitely not the majority.

Also, the very nature of Lemmy means the userbase probably skews towards more techy types who have been using Linux in their professional lives for years and have naturally come to harbor positive feelings for it. That drives the recommendation as well as anything else.

Lol yeah I know how to make carbonara. It requires at least 25 minutes of active cooking. There are no steps where you can set and forget something. You have to be near the stove the entire time it’s being made.

It’s a relatively quick recipe, sure, but I definitely wouldn’t classify it as lazy.
