Officially it's ADHD-I (inattentive), ADHD-H (hyperactive) and ADHD-C (combined).

But over here even specialists still often just call it ADD. It's less of a mouthful and more well-known. Personally I also use ADD, as it often saves the hassle of having to explain I'm usually not hyperactive.

I suggest to euthanize all the irresponsible breeders instead.

Can we add the people who know these animals have health issues, but still buy them despite of that?

Linux is now the best gaming system.

I'll just share how my latest bout with gaming on Linux looked like, compared to Windows.

Install Anno 1800 on Windows:

  • Start installation in Steam
  • Ubisoft Launcher installs
  • Anno 1800 starts
  • Enjoy the rest of my evening

Install Anno 1800 on Linux:

  • Install Anno 1800 in Steam
  • Research how to start game
  • Enable Proton compatibility layer
  • Game fails to start due to missing Ubisoft Launcher
  • Install Ubi launcher using method 'add installer as game, set compatibility layer, install and change executable for application executable'
  • Game fails to start due to missing Ubisoft Launcher
  • Try with different Proton versions, fail each time
  • Install Lutris and install Ubi launcher through that
  • Game fails to start due to missing Ubisoft Launcher
  • Give up for the evening

Next day:

  • Read up some more
  • Install Protontricks
  • Encounter weird errors when starting it
  • Try to find out what is going on
  • Suppress tendency to just say 'fuck it' and start Windows
  • Install Protontricks through Flatpack instead of system package, as the Flatpack version is slightly newer. Accept that this will result in a much larger installation due to not using system-provided libraries.
  • Add Ubi launcher through protontricks, ignoring out-of-date instructions on the Internet
  • Start game
  • Cry at slideshow performance
  • Give up for the evening

Next day:

  • Research possible causes of performance issues
  • Try multiple ways of enabling Nvidia GPU instead of integrated graphics
  • Fail each time
  • Turn off Secure Boot
  • Correct GPU now available
  • Better performance, although still not great
  • Feel no enjoyment anymore at getting it to run or while playing

As much as I want to like it, this experience makes me feel that Linux is not fully ready for the masses yet.

Ah, so he's going to stop posting there? Right?

I seriously considered preordering, seeing how much I enjoyed the first installment. Fortunately Denuvo prevented me from doing so. I'll wait until that piece of trash is patched out, it'll probably be cheaper by that time as well. Thanks Denuvo!

For $250000 I'm totally fine with him showing me his penis. Unfortunately I think he won't be interested now that consent is given though. ☹️

The reaction between a shield and laser is completely random, not knowing wether you are going to vaporise a few molecules, an entire city or everything in between makes it very unreliable for warfare purposes.

And you'd probably find the whole Landsraad against you, as using atomics is outlawed. While a bomb like that isn't an atomic weapon by definition, the effects are the same and it stands to reason that they'll therefore still retaliate in full force.

"You're not being sacked, no, we are releasing you into a world of opportunity!" Yes, a friend of mine actually heard that one a while ago when he was 'let go'. 🤨

As a developer I can only say: no matter how foolproof you make your product, you will always encounter that one special user.

Also, the shape has horrible aerodynamics. If it had a combustion engine, they couldn't sell it in large parts of the world due to fuel efficiency.

I doubt it will get a type approval in Europe anyway, seems absolutely no consideration for pedestrian safety has been given. If this thing is as stiff and solid as Musk said it was it is also going to fail miserably during crash testing. Having been in a car crash this weekend I can testify how crumple zones save lives. Good thing the whole "but it's a light truck" loophole they used in the US isn't going to fly here.

No. I'm exercising my Musk-given right of ultimate free speech and will continue calling it Twitter, just because I feel like it. Musk would be proud of me standing up against censorship. Oh wait..

Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind.

Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.
