Being a number nerd, I can see the appeal for something like this (extremely bad quality of data aside), or at least I do frequently visit OpenBenchmarkin.org (similar concept than UserBenchmark, but open source).

I also know 1 person who is obsseded with constantly buying/selling parts for their PC, and for whatever reason still uses UB after I told them how shit it is.

My guess is that this will also resonate with some Intel fanboys.

All of this is more of an exception to the rule, but they need just a few bunch of people subscribing to generate more profit than before.

Your comment doesn't make sense, since home tools are not precise enough and that is not the manufacter fault. I suggest you read about Metrology

Great movie. If you haven't, you should check out Arrival (2016).

It is. Check 3:44

Apocalypse Now. Damn, what a movie.

I would like to add a few more tips, based in my experience in an academic background:

  1. Don't go back in the presentation to refer to something. If you want to refer to a slide/graphic you already explained, you put the slide/graphic once again, but do not go back several slides.

  2. Use big fonts. Text should be clearly readable in any part of the room you are presenting.

  3. References and sources should be put as a footnote in each slide, not as a big ass slide at the end of the presentation.

  4. Enumerate your slides.

  5. Time and flow quality is just as important -or maybe more- than the visual quality. It is a must to stay behind a 10% error margin of the alocated time. So in a 10 minutes presentation, always stay between 9 and 11 minutes (ideally between 9:30 and 10).

There's ways in which a program can detect if it is running in a VM. If Riot made a kernel-level anti-cheat program, they'll surelly also implement this.

Try increasing the FOV. Same thing happened to me with Half-Life.

I recently set up a Xbox 360 emulator using Xenia to play all Gears of War games in my PC, and had a lot of fun setting things up (Xenia is way harder to set up than any other emulator I've used): patching, tweaking and testing stuff, modding some files, and obviusly playing.

Lots of fun playing, and the games have aged pretty well, IMO.

Dota 2 is similar to LoL, has a native Linux build and runs perfectly fine out of the box. Perhaps you can give it a shot.

Your comment seems so out of touch with the reality of majority of people. I think you are taking an extremist and unreasonable stance.

Unrelated, but the other day I read that the main computer for core calculation in Fukushima's nuclear plant used to run a very old CPU with 4 cores. All calculations are done in each core, and the result must be exactly the same. If one of them was different, they knew there was a bit flip, and can discard that one calculation for that one core.

Same here, and I've enjoyed it more than my Debian experience.

I find this comment funny, given the link I provided was copied from NewPiped.

I think it depends. In my case, I write faster in LaTeX as the formatting is done a lot quicker. Just need to find one template I've already used and is aproppiate for the ocassion.

Although being able to take a screenshot and paste it is a huge bonus and time saver in LibreOffice when taking notes in real time.

Hey, my SO and I really loved Severance and watch it in my Jellyfin server, which I set up so they can connect from anywhere. I'll add season 2 the moment it launches. I would be happy to give you acess to it if you want to, just let me know.

For my part, I’ll never forgive them for Megaman X 6 and beyond. The story was clearly written to end with Megaman X 5, then transition into the Zero series of games, but Capcom was too greedy to leave it alone.

Oh man, I got so many Vietnam flashbacks with Gears of War 4 and beyond. Microsoft really massacred my favorite video game saga :c

From Linux, I've screen-shared my desktop in the web application for some years without troubles. Not even need to install the app.

Becase it's false and the math severely wrong.

Spotify has patents on underestimating your emotional state based on the music you listen to. One can guess they sell such data. A hard pass for me.

Self-hosting Jellifyn/Navidrome has been really fun (but I'm aware it is not something everybody wants/can do).

Yes.

My last experience was around 2 months ago with a driver issue. In the forums, someone linked a solution, and a lot of comments were in the lines of "Seriously? This was already in the newsletter, why are people not reading/subscribed to it. It's their problem then". Funnily enough, an actually helpful comment noted that the newsletter solution had a typo that made the solution not work as expected.

A report usually contains somewhat useless information, requires more background in the topic and does not allow for easy to ask questions to the author. Slides, written reports, papers, speech, etc. all serve different purporses.

I'm curious: Is it a bad idea to have iptables with a default DENY rule? I use a deafult DENY in ufw, and it uses iptables under the hood.

Even today, the Arch community is exactly as previously described.

What's the need of being rude and aggressive to express your thoughs?

This actitude is, in part, why I think social media sucks so bad, call it Lemmy, Twitter, Reddit or Facebook.

I still disagree. Majority of topical subreddits and people are nowhere near as obnoxious. Although, granted, Reddit is a bad place to set bars on quality of discussion.

OP asked for opinions, commenter stated their opinion in a respectful way. Why are you trying to shut them up?

You can use Flatseat to config the permissions (including files) that Flatpaks have. It has a nice GUI

Disagree on 7 and 8

For 7: References and sources are a must, unless everything is your own work. They should not be put at the end of the slides because the public does not have access to your file, so they cannot go back and forth to properly read the source like they can in a paper. The way I do this is simply putting "Source: blablablabla" in a smaller font, so the reader can easily recognize it as a source and ignore it if they want to.

For 8: This greatly improves the public's ability to ask you questions, as they can just say you "Please go back to slide #X", instead of having to explain the content of the slide.

Keep in mind these are used in my scientific academic background, perhaps outside of it they are not as important.

The reference adds stuff like the author, journal or year, so it can be a showcase for the relevance, importance, how new is it, etc. I still find it useful in cases like the presentation not being followed by a paper, or you add visual aids that are not present in the paper yet are not your own work.

Agree, but there's a big chunk of atheist that like jerking each other off, vocally telling themselves how superior and smart they are. That's the point being made
