I setup and love retropie, but I will say that I was surprised at how many emulation issues I had even on some PS1 games. mostly it was framerate or processing issues, tried same emulator on my laptop with no problem.
raspberry pi is very affordable but it was surprising to me that the hardware specs were a limiter given how much of an increase they were over the ps1
fighters megamix was amazing!
thank you for the explanation that is a lot more understandable now.
hostages being released in order to stop the violence is what I was thinking.
but you’re saying it’s more like losing leverage in order to temporarily pause the violence.
they would have nothing left to bargain with and would just have to hope the world actually cares enough to step in.
I can definitely see why they wouldn’t want to do that
maybe I am missing something that I don’t see why that is an objectionable position? like obviously the ceasefire needs to happen immediately but what is wrong with hostage release as part of it?
not that long ago politicians were doing anything they could to avoid the word ceasefire and now they’re actively calling for it I’m really not thinking that this is an unchanged position but I am willing to listen if I have some drastic misunderstanding.
honestly doesn’t it seem like this change of direction is him listening? Even weeks ago I would have never thought I would have heard the words ceasefire out of his mouth.
to me this seems like a direct response of the message people sent to him with the Michigan primary and I am happy to see it.
doesn’t mean I’m happy with what he’s done so far or even that he has not immediately taken direct action but this is a pivot and failing to acknowledge it weakens protest actions like this in the future.
yeah I suppose it’s time to try a reset
I actually switched to beta hoping it would fix the broken biometrics update, was using standard release before that.
ah dang I do use rcs, that would be annoying
I use awk all the time. a very common and probably simplest reason I use it is it’s ability to handle variable column locations for data.
if you know you always want the last field you can do something like
awk '{print $NF}'
but usually using it as for performing more advanced operations all in one go without having to pipe something three times.
sure you can do grep cut grep printf, but you can instead do the pattern matching, the field, the formatting, whatever you need to all in one place.
it’s also got a bunch of more advanced usage of course since it’s its own language. one of my favorite advanced one liners is one that will recognize if it is going to print a duplicate line anywhere in your output and prevent it. in cases where you don’t want to sort your output but you also want to remove duplicates it is extremely helpful and quick rather than running post-processing on the output in another way.
all that said main reason I use it is because I know it and it’s fast, there’s nothing you can do in awk that you can’t do in Python or whatever else you’re more comfortable with. The best tool for the job is the one that gets it done quickly and accurately. unless your environment is limited and it prevents the installation of tools you’re more familiar with then there’s no real reason to use this over Python.
agree with one and two and younger me would have agreed with your third point but I think I don’t anymore.
yes cut is the simpler and mostly functional tool you need for those tasks.
but it is just so common to need a slight tweak or to want to substitute something or to want to do a specific regex match or weird multi character delimiter or something and you can do it all easily in awk instead of having to pipe three extra times to do everything with the simplest tool.
been playing West of loathing and shadows over loathing lately. Fun and stupid, nice to be able to play them on deck
yeah my brother and I played it non-stop lol.
did anyone else play bonks adventure
yeah that’s where it used to be for me, and I had it set up.
it just literally vanished after the update.
no that’s not what I mean, I mean the setting is literally gone. there is no biometrics option.
any app that I previously used fingerprint login glitches out trying to load the bio pop-up, there is no lock screen option, etc.
it’s funny because this reads like something exaggerating for effect, but anyone in this kind of position knows that it’s not.
still works and is fun, I think if duck station would have been finished for pi it would have been better probably.
true that 2d had no problems for me though, on pi400
