they had a flyer that literally said “not S&P approved”
Also a recurring problem in ReBoot. The original network wouldn’t let them do a ton of stuff for often vague reasons or ones that implied something was deeply wrong with the person monitoring the show. There’s an article about all the absurdity.
Before they abandoned it for Gnome 3, Ubuntu’s Unity DE had the ability to search any program’s menus. Was really handy for many things, but especially Gimp.
Enable y-axis look inversion. Because which way was “normal” and “inverted” hadn’t been standardized when I started gaming and that’s what I learned.
IIRC, someone got with the author of that bit of code to ask how they came up with it, but they had simply learned it from someone else. So they tracked them down and found that they had also learned it from someone else. They eventually landed on Greg Walsh as the original author, but for a bit the code had no known origin.
Vantablack is a specific chemical product, not a color. If you can get something just as black via a different process they can’t do anything.
Exactly. You need documentation to figure out how to do anything in a CLI, and if you forget it’s back to the documentation, but a GUI exposes all its commands immediately, allowing the user to find things on their own.
Except the iOS UI, which is heavily reliant on gestures with varying numbers of fingers, pressure dependent touch commands that are difficult to pull off consistently (seriously, how the hell do you deliberately do the multi-select drag thing?), and hidden menus that are exposed by dragging in from specific portions of the screen at specific angles with no hint that they’re there.
My experience has usually been someone with a very thick accent and an incredibly crappy microphone.
I mean, legitimately, unless you’re doing power user things, you don’t really need the terminal.
This is a fairly recent development, though. Last time I tried Linux I was using the terminal several times a week just browsing the internet and playing games. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how infrequently I have to use it now, but I was surprised given my previous experience.
Literally the opening scene of the movie.
The lack of historical accuracy also isn’t due to a lack of research, but a deliberate style and tone choice, as demonstrated at the very beginning of the movie when the trumpeters play We Will Rock You and the crowd claps and stomps along.
My current distro also uses pipewire and I’ve had no issues. I haven’t even needed to configure anything. I originally went to Linux when my XP install died and I couldn’t afford a Win7 license. I was happy enough with Win10 to migrate to that when it came out, and now that Microsoft is forcing people onto Win11 I’m back to Linux as my primary. Pipewire and Proton really took Linux from ‘good enough’ to ‘actually quite nice’.
I have no idea why Pulse is so bad. During my last foray into Linux, I created a shortcut for killing and restarting Pulse and pinned it to the dock. I also replaced all my game shortcuts with scripts that reinitialized pulse, then ran the game, then reinitialized pulse again when the game was closed.
Possibly to differentiate from the trans women, who were mentioned immediately prior?
Even 2077 didn’t have ads in your car.
I hope the next Fire Emblem uses this. Of course, they didn’t use the Switch’s touch screen, so I’m not holding my breath.
TOTK makes me wish 3D TVs caught on.
Out of morbid curiosity, what movie is it?
I love that they somehow couldn’t get a picture of someone holding the food, so they just shopped it three times.
Still perplexed Nintendo hasn’t released atomic purple joycons.
Some of those cut scenes are present on the DVD release. There’s one where Weaver’s character does a bit of a strip tease to disteact some aliens (the modification to her outfit is still in the movie, it just changes randomly between scenes) and another where Shalhoub’s character is explicitely confirmed to be high off his ass the entire movie.
