THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP

No, we have to post these when it’s the year of the Linux desktop

I’d argue that homeless are a symptom and lack of housing is the problem.

Yeah, you’re overthinking it. Installing a single program is a “use sparingly” situation.

A lot of Europe did so and for this exact purpose. Immigrants are net contributors of tax money and help a lot with demographics. Now however European countries have a sizable portion of their countries as immigrants and it turns out a lot of people feel like their culture is getting lost.

Add that up with corruption is more out in the open, austerity after the 2008 financial crisis generally failed as a policy and people are very prone to believe “Immigrants are to blame” and vote for right wing parties since they run on an anti-establishment platform.

The left generally believes that we need more immigrants and more social programs and so on but there has been a massive crusade on tax rates which hinders the governments ability to pay for them.

This is all coming together now and the far right narrative is being given a chance in Europe with their anti-immigration stance.

In my opinion this is basically the centre-right trying to get votes by cutting taxes, end up taking on massive debt or gutting quality of life social programs so the only way forward is to fuck over minorities and making the most vulnerable people suffer for the greater good. But tax the well-off, rich, wealth, land, capital gains, profits? Nooooo, can’t do that because they fund the political parties. 🙃

Yeah, exactly. If a person asks for a recommendation they don’t trust their own skills enough to make their own decision or distrohop.

I feel like a website is needed to recommend a distro to people based on a very varied set of criteria that doesn’t just ask “Do you like stability over all? Debian”

Anybody that already has had a computer for 2 years and is coming from Windows will have almost no problems with Mint. Stability is top priority for first time Linux users and you need some visual guide with screenshots. Mint also has a great default look and setup for people coming from Windows. Mint is probably the best distro to put on your mom’s old laptop that is “getting slow” because of viruses.

I’d recommend KDE Neon or Ubuntu also depending on the situation but if I don’t know anything about the person and computer I’d say Mint.

Kim Jong Un has a pretty cool train also to use the rail

Yeah, I have a feeling that they will have very low morale because of lack of motivating factors. Desertion might also become a massive problem since this is one of the few ways to get out of the DPRK.

They have massive amount of soldiers and are good and making artillery and missiles. It is a big black box however since they haven’t been engaged in a conflict recently so all their troops lack experience.

Their economy is practically built for conflict so it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Because most self hosted things are free already. It doesn’t apply to FOSS.

The cookie clicker could still be a puzzle as long as you make it impossible to win without using some power-ups because you’ll die sooner of old age. That’s assuming there is a win condition in it. Other clickers are genuinely not puzzles since they’re infinite and not winnable. Not winnable makes them not solvable so they can’t be a puzzle.

Beauracracy is one big puzzle of locks and keys where applications are keys and passports are keys to border control locks etc.

According to his interpretation of the genre it would be an action-strategy game which arguably fits tetris better. Your underlying point implies that all strategy games are puzzle games which this guy doesn’t agree with I think.

I’m going to provide a counter-example to disprove. A slot machine is a video game that is not a puzzle since there is no solution.

I agree with “Most video games are puzzle games” though. There are exceptions like Rail Shooter. Button mash only game. Bullet hell games don’t really have a puzzle element since solution is already shown by areas having no bullets in them.

I feel like this statement also hinges on “all video game strategy is a puzzle” people might disagree with.

To absolutely minimise the water usage you could do a more old school “shower” by just putting some water in a bucket with a sponge.

1. Put some water on your body with a quick sponge rinse.
2. Apply soap.
3. Use sponge to rinse off soap.

Then later use the bucket as toilet refill.

I use steam and I can’t tell which is which usually.

Yeah, if one height/weight class gets dominant that class should be nerfed like in every competitive esport

It’s a tricky balancing act. They need to recover the investment as early as possible to pay less in capital costs but doing that will mean that later on when the product is sub-par it will cause problems and extra work.

Since the engine, game logic, art, story, testing is so heavily coupled together changing the engine a little bit could cause a month of work down the line.

I think personally the best way is to start by making an engine or taking one off the shelf and then write a mini version of the game with shit art that has a lot of bugs.

At the same time making models with hitboxes that all have the same physical properties otherwise, dialog content and recordings and all other content that can be done separately.

Once that is fun to play then you can start working creating a slightly bigger system with a single short storyline to have a cohesive experience and will have the genaral feel of the game.

Once everything above is done setting up a closed beta is the way to go. Take some feedback, add features and redo the small story to be more fun.

Then once everything is a fun experience but people just want more you do the whole everything.

I like the bugs. The Giant Space Program was nice
