If it was a snake, it would have bit you

Because datacenters are heavily reliant on electric and water utilities. Sufficient quantities of both are usually only possible in heavily populated areas with robust utility infrastructure.

“Games that GoG charges full price for, despite more complete versions existing on other platforms”

100% all of it.

Lemmings don’t understand nuance, they just know they’re supposed to glaze GoG because “Steam bad” and “Steam unc”

If GoG abandoned the game, but Steam didn’t, then GoG is treating you as second-class by making you pay full price for a lesser experience

It’s Lemmy. We’re supposed to have a hate-boner for Valve and Steam here, so any reason to put GoG on a pedestal or pretend Steam is “literally EA” gets upvoted and circle jerked

Drivers are good at identifying problems but not providing solutions because they aren’t mechanics

2007 had a strong economic middle class who could afford shit.

How much do you want to bet the Terms and Conditions allow this?

What stops them from doing it again once a new order is placed?

Came here to say this. Most of these books are probably superseded by newer versions and/or already archived. Also, if these books have spent a lifetime untouched in a university, how useful are they, really?

I don’t know exactly what’s going on. But I do know that 3.5% to 10.5% in a few months is so beyond anything ever observed before, the notion that this is users adopting Linux over Windows/Mac cleanly and organically severely strains my credulity.

Double check you don’t need a different driver for a wired connection. Double check it’s not using the default 360 controller or default USB controller driver. Confirm Bluetooth will solve the problem by testing with a USB dongle before committing to a card. Save your receipt so you can return it or keep it as a backup solution.

Oh yeah well I have a skidoo in my peeble joiner using a flimflam from doop

I’ve heard some techs complain that a ‘machine’ can be physical or virtual, but a ‘box’ always refers to a physical machine. I don’t really agree with that distinction; if the difference matters, say “physical machine” or “virtual machine”. In 99% of cases, whether a machine is physical or virtual is a distinction without a difference anyway.

Just call it a ‘container object’ and you can be technically correct in almost every context.

See also: in SQL and Dataverse, a row is called a ‘record’, but in SharePoint and Lists, a row is called an ‘item’, and MAN do people get all pissy if you get them mixed up or refer to it as a ‘row’.

It’s even more aggravating when you understand that 1) they’re all different implementations of the ‘table’ data structure, so the term is still accurate; ‘records’ and ‘items’ are just subsets of ‘rows’, and 2) SharePoint and Lists are just SQL on the backend anyway.

Like, obviously you knew what I meant, but how is your ego gonna get stroked unless you preach about pedantic details that don’t matter?

I usually open a document and type notes to myself. If I followed documentation, I’ll link it and download an offline copy in case it 404s one day. I also export configurations to csv or json and link those.

Something else would probably be better but it works for me and for what I do.

There’s a phenomenon called “learned helplessness” where people simply don’t realize they’re capable of doing such things for themselves. They hit the limits of their knowledge and instinctively look to another human for answers, failing to realize they’re capable of taking the very same steps as the person they’re asking.

I’m not making excuses for them, just telling you so you know what to research to understand it better. It’s one of those things, once you know what it is, you start to notice it everywhere.

I think HML was recently updated to be usable now

You own the games you buy from Steam too. The license you get is the same one that comes with a physical copy. You don’t have to launch the game theough Steam or even have Steam installed to play. Once the files are on your machine, you can launch and run the game just like you installed it from a disc.
