It isn’t, I admit. But the first impression is intimidating.

Monolith is a word that fits Debian very well.

It’s like a landmark. It just exists and reality itself seems to bend around it.

I ran a Debian machine, a laptop, until the hardware literally gave up. Eight years of solid service. Regular updates and one reinstall to move to the next version.

It kept working. It kept playing music, playing videos, managing my office needs, surfing the web and receiving my email. Flawlessly.

It outperformed newer machines in its last years and people could not wrap their heads around the notion.

Debian, as a Linux+FOSS combo is a winner combo

Distro chooser is a thing. Or was. I’m not being able to open the site right now.

From that point forward, it is up to the user to decide how much or little they want or need.

True.

As someone that started in Linux, for real, with Debian, and in a time that I had to mannually install my graphics card, I learned the way I did things on Debian was significantly different from things got done on other distro families. That, alone, kept faithful to the Debian tree.

I’ve been in a situation like this recently and all I can say is that the CLI is universal.

Yes, it is complex. Yes, it is challenging. But it gets things done.

Don’t be afraid.

I worked with someone that defend this isea to the letter, just not contemplating companies.

The argument stemmed from an alledge visit he had done to Japan, where he had seen terminals connected to mainframes, and people used those from their house.

I was only able to raise one argument: that is not my computer.

Mind that this man was extremely tech savvy, an experienced and proficient programmer and played the roles of IT solutions an security implementer and supervisor at the company we worked at. And we handled sensitive information.

To him, relegating everything to an outside server was a dream, as removed the hassle and responsability of having to maintain, repair, replace and upgrade hardware. Everything needed should be a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse or trackball.

Because lazyness.

I’ve worn down a stove and two electric ovens, about to go on my third, over the course of twenty years, and I always aim for the simplest of the simplest possible.

No pyrolisis function, no steam function.

Just plain convection ovens, ventilated. And if non digital models are to be found, even better.

We can say everything was kept in the family, that way.

Stupid remarks on the side: that must have been really confusing.

That reads as a joke.

So, if I correctly understood, you are now your son’s son-in-law, while marrying your granddaughter-in-law.

That’s convoluted.

If this is something I can setup with no need of complex licenses, it would be interesting.

I live in a small town and it could prove as a useful city project for cheap, reliant, local communications.

Just scrawl something. Anything. Doesn’t really matter and that is the point. It is just about stating that you can do something, by yourself. Do a tetris like shape. Write something and add some unnecessary curves or angles to each letter. Don’t care about the what. Care about the trying.

What you just described has so many possible points of failure that I can only state that I hope any of it breaks and the circus comes falling down.

It will be horrendous to see the aftermath.

I hope we will see RAM at volume discount. I want to see these companies hurting to attempt to liquidate a fraction of the inventory.

The way you put it, it made me think about the fetish, not the act of procreation.

How about an igNobel prize?/Although it could pass as an insult to the institution behind those awards. Because they have standards. Low. But still.

This whole thing about the couple sharing they are trying to start their family comes as awfully american and cliché.

Is this a real thing in the US?

And if it is… WHY?!

What is the need for it? Is it some sort of twisted social ritual? A perverse bragging? Why not just do the deed, keep to yourself, and after 9 months present the evidence you’ve been rutting like animals in heat?

Colorblind and subtitles are designed to include people, so they can enjoy a game or any other content, that otherwise would not be accessible for such individuals or would be otherwise diminished in quality or reach.

Difficulty tiers were created to extend the longevity, by adding extra challenge or even content to a game. Many games have - or had - content that was only accessible by playing one difficulty setting after the other. I don’t personally agree with it but it is(or was) a thing.

And isn’t Sony putting forward what the company understands is a new and useful feature to their games? AI autoplay? That is their thought on how a game should be enjoyed/played from that point onwards.

And in the chance I haven’t made myself clear enough at this point: I am not on a quest to prove others wrong. This is my take on the feature Sony will be inserting on their future games. If others find it good, good for them. Enjoy.

You’re generalizing your own values and goals and they’re absolutely not as common as you think they are

Isn’t that what we are all doing, while engaging in this discussion? Better yet, isn’t Sony doing that exact same thing by thinking that putting an AI autoplay function into the games is what all players want or at least a gross majority?

Nobody is debating based on the sharing and comparising of proof and facts here; we are all sharing our personal view on the subject.

I am not on a quest to prove you wrong over me being right.

Do as you will, it is your life.

But it is through learning from small, inconsequential things like games, of any kind, to deal with controversial or unpleaseant feelings that many kids acquire coping mechanisms to handle real life situations. Situations with no cheat code, dificulty setting or pay-to-win mechanisms.

Wanting an escape, a tension release valve is fine. Just pick the right one.

That’s really funny. It never stops to amaze me how convenience replaced well considered options.

You spend the money, you get to keep it. The logic of guaranteed satisfaction is non-sense. Unless it is defective, what other reason is valid to return anything?

Cheat codes are one thing. You can abuse those to even smoth your learning curve to later beat the game clean.

The same logic can be used for difficulty settings: you play it, in harder and harder settings, to have a new/added challenge.

Dynamic difficulty I’m unaware of what it migh actually be buy I risk I have an idea.

The game playing itself? Sounds like a movie.

But I hope you are right.
