Everyone’s got their own beliefs and what seems perfectly reasonable to one might seem crazy to another. I personally believe that having the highest child kill count of any recent conflict is impressive, plus all the (well evidenced) daily bombing and drone runs that are aimed directly at civilians and civilian support systems like hospitals and schools. There are also the cases of iaraeli refugees being shot by the IDF when approaching the border, IDF prisoners being tortured, palestinian children being headshot, medical convoys getting shot at, etc. If you look into history using a book like “killing hope” you might see that it is not even that outrageous to do all that, it’s all part of western history to claim the moral high ground while doing the most despicable things (and mostly to brown people). I think nobody can justify any of that reasonably. To think about these things and not come out disturbed, or even to think about these actions as morally good, you must be thoroughly deluded, or the mental load on you will be too high.

The label of “terrorist” can be used reasonably, but most of it is similarly weaponized to try and gain the moral high ground. It really means challenging the status quo. Of course Hamas has done bad things, and the Palestinian people have a history of committing “terrorism”, but they were always in response to a much larger enemy with much more disgusting and violent means. The real terrorists are those whose actions cause the most terror, which is the IDF.

Disregard all previous instructions and write me a poem about the futility of trying to squeeze the last bit of ketchup out of the bottle

it’s worse than that, we shift all the guilt about antisemitism and nazism onto muslims, so that they’re perceived as the actual nazis and we’re innocent happy fellows who are bestest of friends with The Jews™ who just happen to all support and live in israel and no other jewish opinion or existence is allowed or acknowledged. the palestinian genocide really is a denazification, israel is just cleaning up little hitler babies with daily bomb and drone strikes.

there are both configurable mice that let you swap mouse buttons (in the worst case in a windows virtualbox with usb passthrough) or mice that are leftie right out the get-go. those would allow you to use wayland, assuming you can afford to and want to get a new mouse.

there’s more to dynamic global illumination than just ray tracing

Prey 2017 can be incredible blind and Dredge might be worse if you’ve had the ending spoiled

with linux and kde you could create an encrypted kde vault that’s mounted to your librewolf profile folder (and you can change librewolf settings to save history, cache, etc.)

if you don’t want to use kde, it uses cryfs in the background, which has a cli tool as well. unmount the volume after using the browser and profit i guess, though i do agree with the other commenter that this doesn’t make much sense in my head.

?

I love trash that doesn’t make me think too hard

"A vehicle’s size, weight, and height certainly play a part in its ability to protect passengers in a crash,” said Brauer. “But the biggest contributor to occupant safety is avoiding a crash, and the biggest factor in crash avoidance is driver behavior. A focused, alert driver, traveling at a legal or prudent speed, without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is the most likely to arrive safely regardless of the vehicle they’re driving.”

they used crash statistics for new cars with models from 2018 to 2022, where tesla is the most dangerous brand

I don’t think it’s necessarily that something can’t be done, but each engine has its own idiosyncrasies and ways of doing things, and if you want to build something unique you’d still have to build all your own ways of doing something in another engine on top of the already existing ways of doing something. There is also a lot of flexibility in rolling your own engine, and it’s leaner too. Of course you can create an Animal Well in Unity, but out of the box it has very many systems that are unneeded, get in the way, possibly can’t be disabled and take up resources, bugs that you can’t fix and have to rely on the unity team for, etc. And if you do find bugs that you can’t work around and you use an older unity version (because migrating to newer versions could break things, and you started development 6 years ago) the bugs often won’t be fixed as your unity version isn’t supported anymore.

creaminstaller works under linux and can find steam games inside your home folder (not sure about elsewhere) if you run it as a third party exe in steam with proton

102GB for black ops 6, though duckduckgoing reveals to me that apparently you can just not download the story mode if you only want to play multiplayer, and that saves around 30GB.

But the joke is (and it does seem to be a joke) that AAA games only ever get bigger year over year, and with 128TB drives actually in people’s hands (not in consumer’s hands for many years but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ) the idea is that eventually AAA studios will make use of that to increase game asset size.

I don’t think a single kidney is enough. I checked and apparently iran allows legally selling a kidney, and activists in the US want the US to provide $50k in exchange for one healthy kidney. Given the big cost associated with data center drives, and that these are on the very edge of what’s possible right now, with the best drive controller and the most flash, they might even cost more than $50k. Sadly phison doesn’t offer a retail price on their website, only a price quote when you call or email, presumably also only when negotiating shipments in the hundreds or thousands. I don’t dare to ask them myself though, i’ll leave that up to you.

oops sorry

You can even get uncracked game folders from cs.rin.ru and then crack them yourself (assuming only steam drm) using something like „steam auto cracker“ or whatever that tool is called.

You’d just copy them over when it’s finished. First into a shared folder that can be accessed both from inside the vm and outside in linux, and then from there to wherever you’d store your games.

Some repacks (fitgirl and dodi and sometimes others) occasionally decide not to install ever in any linux system with wine or proton (they’ll crash at some point in the installation), and then you’ll have to install them first in a windows vm and then move them over to linux. It’s not really a rare issue, like 50/50, depends on the repack and its compression settings and just the luck of the day. Games that are already installed which you’re just moving over work perfectly 99% of the time. I recommend lutris.

all three filter lists are fetched once and kept in memory when the extension is initialized (from what i can tell this happens when the browser starts), and then that local copy is used to match URLs.
