You can also use a third party launcher. I use Lutris on Linux. The GOG Integration is excellent.

That is not the issue. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

I appreciate your confidence.

It sure is convenient that the omnipotent and wise God decided to send his son to earth and perform wonders to prove he is the messenger of God long before humanity had advanced enough to create better records and spread that truth. I wonder why God has not wisely re-upped on this, given technological advancement, which God should be pretty caught up on.

One of the weirdest facts. One that really makes you feel so small.

I suppose I was focusing on detecting some sort of communications. It still matters that when we see objects at great distance in space, it’s the objects in the distant past

I would say it’s the size of the universe and the fact that it is still expanding at an accelerated rate.

If the speed of light is really the “top speed” of the universe, it is inadequate for interstellar travel. It is barely good enough for timely communication, and not really even that.

Life can be as likely as it wants to be, but it seems to me that we’re all quite divided, to the point of not being able to communicate at all with other potential intelligent species.

Fantastic information. Thank you for all of it.

I’m just not sure how comfortable I am with no gui yet.

I need a PC that runs with no monitor and gets interfaced with through remote desktop only. I just installed Linux on that machine. It currently must have a keyboard and monitor because if it gets rebooted, it comes to the login screen. The login screen cannot be brought up via remote desktop (RDP through Remmina). I also have so far been unable to find a way to force it to automatically sign in “passwordless” like it used to do with Windows.

This box runs Plex as well as whatever game server I want to run for friends and I at the moment. (Currently Minecraft, which is having trouble since th switchover with server lag, but that is far less important than being able to reboot the screenless server box and have it work with no further input )

Gotta chime in with the bacon cheddar potato wedges and chili cheese curly fries at Jack in the Box. Jack in general has become shit tier now.

Also, McDonalds used to have a super excellent breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, peppers, everything. Back when breakfast all day was a thing.

Don’t forget to polarize the sensors.

Ah, the old Lemmy dish-a-roo.

Drugs.

I pay for YouTube. It is without a doubt the best subscription I pay for, that I get major use out of. I know people are hardcore anti-ad and Google is like Ad Satan, but if you can afford it, YouTube is unironically worth it.

Bröthër may I have some lööps

I worked for 12 years in a fraud control department.

This guy’s a fraudster. Your mom is being scammed.

Right? Think about how fucking absurd this is. This whole “desecration” nonsense.

“I am going to say my special magic words at your special magic words building! Take that!”

“THIS OUTRAGE SHALL NOT STAND! ONLY MY SPECIAL MAGIC WORDS CAN BE SAID AT MY SPECIAL MAGIC WORDS BUILDING!”

And then they killed each other over special magic words. Invisible sky man is watching and doing nothing despite all the magical and very special words being said that he can definitely hear and cares about.

Fucking madness.

I don’t think so. You just want to pick the right tool for your system. With modern uefi boot systems, systemd-boot is simpler and quicker. There are use cases for grub, such as if you have the kernal outside of an efi partition.

Systemd-boot is my personal preference, boots fast, is unintrusive, and you never have to rebuild anything to make changes.

In the end, everyone is free to use what they want. That’s the beauty of Linux.
