Oh lol I totally misread that. 🤣

Of course you’re correct: persistence is key and much more important than consistency (as in: perfectly nail every dodge, which is my problem).

Like many others already said: Probably the best take is to “understand” that dying is not failure but part of the progression system. But instead of grinding experience points to progress your character (which is totally possible in dark souls) you grind real experience by repeating difficult parts over and over again and progress as a player.

It’s actually extremely clever game design.

you just have to be persistent

Being consistent is actually the hardest part of the games for me…

Why the heck does the “cross-posted from” link direct me to BDSM content on Jerboa? 😲

Thanks for your explanation!

Today, I read about spontaneous and responsive desire (I learned something new :)). Spontaneous desire means that you get aroused mentally first, and then your body responds. Responsive desire means that you need to get into the activity first, and only then do you become mentally aroused.

Is this the same thing?

Would you mind expanding a little bit on the topic of “reactive libido”? I googled it but don’t think I full grasped the concept.

No but with a shoehorn you can slip in and out of your shoes without tying the laces?

But that’s why shoehorns exist?

No, not this year but maybe last fall, early winter. The game itself was running fine but without DLC (which neede the launcher to work) was useless to me.

Maybe I have to give it another try but this experience was the worst possible advertisement for “gaming on Linux” 😐

This is simply not true. I recently tried Linux for gaming after several years because I read that Valve made some great progress. Installed Crusader Kings III and didn’t get Paradox Launcher to run which is necessary for any DLC.

This was literally the first game I installed from my huge library and it simpl didn’t work so I had to do two hours of research, trial and error and reading error logs to conclude that I wasn’t able to solve this problem.

This is the exact reason why I use Windows for gaming. It simply works 99 % of the time. And I don’t have the time to troubleshoot my games all the time.

This is actually a thing:

Am I the one one thinking this post is blowing the topic way out of proportion?

The post title is clickbait in its purest form: nothing is being blocked (from what even). There is a single issue raised on some obscure filter list… This has no consequences whatsoever. I am wondering why Protonmail even bothers to comment on this issue…

Everything I heard about cast iron pans was either “This is the hot shit!!” or “They are horrible to maintain and you can’t keep food in them overnight because it destroys the patina you built for weeks”.

Since I am lazy as fuck I’ll pass…

Lol your statement doesn’t hold true for where I live. We live more or less in the vicinity of the nearest Amazon warehouse, like 50 km away…

When we order several (like 6) items, they send 6 packages, each individually packed, with 6 delivery drivers over two days, ringing three times a day (noon, afternoon, late evening).

This is purely anecdotal but almost comically bad logistics…

Err basically yes. In my head there’s a difference between “business driven by profit” and “business driven by ethics”, but maybe that’s because English is not my first language.

Why would they though and out of which which principle? Microsoft’s principle is “generate as much profit as possible without antagonizing customers to much”. Microsoft is, at its core, a profit driven business and not a business driven by ethics.

I run Jellyfin on a RPi 4. It works for me, but only because I use codecs (h264/265 for video, AAC for audio) that are definitely supported on my players (NVidia Shield TV and android phones). This leads to Jellyfin not touching the files and just providing them to the player. As soon as any codec doesn’t fit my client (for example OPUS audio) Jellyfin starts re-encoding the audio and remuxing the stream and the stream just fails.

So yes: RPi4 is generally not able to run Jellyfin unless you have a very specific setup.

What you described from your previous workplace sounds amazing, but you must’ve used phase cancellation too, didn’t you?

How is this so much different from what you’ve used back then?

Because none of those (except hydro and geothermal, but those are both extremely location dependent) will deal with the baseload power generation we need.

Is this the problem though? I mean: The sun is shining somewhere at all times and the wind is blowing somewhere at all times. Energy is being produced. The problem is either storing it (okay, batteries are expensive, I get it) or better: distributing it.

In Germany we have the problem that we are producing a surplus of wind energy in the north but currently we are not able to distribute the energy into the south of Germany which results in needing gas power plants in the south while at the same time shutting down wind generators in the north. This is obviously bad.

Upgrading our grid would solve this problem and would vastly reduce our need for gas energy. This is costly but is far from impossible.

3. The total volume of all nuclear waste ever produced by the entire globe is one of the smallest and easiest to manage compared to other forms, filling up less than a football field.

I didn’t fact check all of you points, but this at least is utter nonsense. In Germany alone we currently have 130.000 m³ of nuclear waste that are stored in temporary storages. We haven’t found a permanent storage yet. 130.000 m³ is equivalent to a 360 m x 360 m square assuming it’s a meter in height. This is certainly more than a football field and this is Germany only.

We estimate that we have about 300.000 m³ nuclear waste until 2080 because of the ongoing deconstruction of old nuclear power plants… And still we have no idea how to store the waste savely and permanently.
