Star Trek is just a setting at this point. Lower Decks proved you can do funny and respectful of the fans at the same time. I agree some of SNW's campiness is a bit over the top, but I'd rather a show spend time trying to do something different like a musical than be totally reliant on drama/action like Discovery (a show that was actually good on the rare occasion the cast could take a break from universe ending peril).

Chess is like any other multiplayer game in one regard. Anonymous match ups turn people into assholes. Resigning at the drop of a hat isn't too terrible, but it's just something you wouldn't do if you were playing a friendly game in person.

I play Stockfish exclusively now, fuck a rating, because for the brief time I was playing real people it seemed like every other match I'd get someone yelling in the chat, asking for moves back when they blunder, or just resigning when it started going against them. Especially with time pressure it's just not worth it when you have an infinitely patient, world class chess opponent on call 24/7.

Linus' apathy may keep ten different competing security ideas from each being mainlined, but it's not impossible for them to continue and prove their worth out of tree until some sort of coherent best practices are established.

Meanwhile, actual security issues will continue to be patched as needed and Linux remains the most analyzed and targeted kernel in the world.

I don't really care what color they are when they are long as your palm and flying at your face.

Proton is amazing, but it's entirely overhead translating library/system calls to Linux. It's accurate to say they run better on SteamOS, not to say Proton is making it run better.

Now maybe Proton makes them run better than a janky but native Linux port, but that's a separate statement about games being better optimized on Windows.

If I don't bowl today the terrorists win.

They can't run a candidate that can win because that would require a platform that steps on too many donors' toes.

Ideally the FDA should not be swayed by business interests, but everything controlled by our government is. That said, you want the FDA to exist and protect us from bullshit snake oil products and keep corporations from lacing our food with cheap poisons and carcinogens.

Trump gutting the organization makes it go from "could do better" to "actively subverting its own purpose."

Bakula just hit the Archer casting too perfectly. The man just exudes boy scout, it's what made Quantum Leap work too.

Perfect headline.

In a world where Valve controls 90% of what is running on a device with immutable / containerized images, yeah I think Arch makes a lot more sense. A distro focused on rolling release is a lot less likely to hang you up when you choose to update.

Debian is great, but depending on where you are in the release cycle it can be a pain in the ass to stay up to date and, frankly, the last time I ran it, shit like apt/dpkg configuration and so many /etc files and structures just felt like mis-features or too complex for their own good.

The Democratic party has always been for migrant child decapitation, you just weren't liberal enough to see how it's woke.
