There are a lot of women that love fat guys. Ignoring the haters and wearing what you like is hot AF.

I’m gay, but if I were straight I would be with a fat guy over any other guy, 100%.

That’s exactly what happened with Dr Death and why he wasn’t caught for such a long time.

Was it maybe The Fountain (2006) or some other Darren Aronofsky movie?

Surprisingly this one actually didn’t lead to someone being fired because the person was never found, but when I was a teenager I worked at a local retailer in Canada called Canadian Tire. The manager called everyone into the employee washrooms to show us that someone had scrawled “CT sucks” in human feces – presumably their own – on the inside of a toilet stall.

omg it wasn’t “Dr Death” aka Christopher Duntsch was it?

I think because “nukiuchi” would be pronounced like “NOO-KEE-OO-CHEE” and “nukitsuke” would be pronounced like “NOO-KEE-SOO-KEE” so kind of similar. I dunno though!

Katana’s are weak on the flat side. They aren’t really meant to be used for parrying. In fact, most sword fights in Japan would be over after the first or second swing. It was commonplace to hold the grip of a katana but not draw it in such a way so that your enemy has trouble judging how long your katana is and what is a safe distance to be from you. Once your opponent is in range, draw it quickly and kill them in one blow, ideally.

The act of killing your opponent in a single blow is called “nukitsuke” from “nukiuchi” meaning “to cut down an opponent” and “tsuke” meaning “to stop an opponent’s attack before it begins”.

The Sekiro and popular media image of extended katana fights didn’t really happen, but if they did, there would almost certainly be some broken katanas.

Hardest in a different way than you probably mean for me would be This War Of Mine. One of the first missions you basically have to stab an old man and his wife after you broke into their house. It’s rough.

Capitalism and Communism are bad, there is a middle ground which is better than both and most of the western world uses it. Have a largely free market, but also have socially funded services that wouldn’t work under a free market system like healthcare.

If you open /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icon/main.qml and search for line there’s a section called PlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel which seems to correspond with icon text and there’s a line maximumLineCount: 2 you could try reducing that to 1 and it might fix your issue.

It looks like KDE Plasma is based on QT6 and the icons I believe are a QT6 Label so you can also add some styling to it yourself. Here’s the documentation for it: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-controls-label-members.html

There is a property called lineHeight so you could just add that to the PlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel and see if that fixes it.

Weird. I was just having an issue with pamac and started using paru as a backup and paru is working fine last I checked.

Why would they be hostile to that idea? It allows you to run the VPN only on your browser instead of your entire system which is sometimes preferable.

It’s quite good and also I like that they largely support Linux. They have phone apps, browser extensions, desktop apps, and even CLIs. They also have downloadable configurations for OpenVPN and WireGuard if you want to go that route. They’ve also got what I assume are fairly basic features of most VPNs like kill switching, private DNS servers, etc.

Writers of children’s names books are going to have a field day with the data from this study.

You should go for a distro that matches what you want out of your system. You want stable? Find some strong LTS distro like Ubuntu. You want ULTRA STABLE? Go for an immutable distro. Do you want to use your system for gaming? Go for a distro with wide gaming support, built-in drivers with options for proprietary drivers.

It’s less about what base distro you’re using and more about what you like about that particular flavor of distro.

For example, I use my PC for gaming mostly, but also coding. I switched from Pop! (Ubuntu based) to Garuda (Arch based) and I love it because it’s really good for gaming, comes with Mangohud, Gamemode, Steam, Heroic, controller drivers, graphics drivers, etc, all optionally pre-installed. I also really like KDE apps because they’re performant and slick so I got the Plasma version.

Anyway, yeah, focus less on “this distro is Arch based” and more on what each distro can provide you as far as your personal tastes.

Current Linux market share worldwide for desktops is at ~4%. There’s also ~2% ChromeOS which is Linux based so I don’t know why it’s listed separately. As well as ~6% other which is probably Linux with privacy settings turned on.

If we go back 5 years in Linux desktop usage, the high end is including the “Other” category.

2019: ~2% to ~9% 2020: ~2.5% to ~5% 2021: ~3.5% to ~11.5% 2022: ~4.5% to ~10.5% 2023: ~6.5% to ~10% 2024: ~6% to ~12%

There is definitely a growing trend, the user base has grown somewhere between 33% and 300% depending on whether you include the “Other” category, which I personally think is a pretty safe assumption since for most PC users if it’s not Windows or Os X, it’s Linux.

Here’s where I got the data from: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide

LTS just means Long Term Support in case you weren’t aware. It means no new development is happening, but security exploits will be patched as soon as they arise.

If you just want stability, LTS is the way to go. If you want all the cutting edge bells and whistles and are okay with potentially some instability (but probably not much) then use the latest version.

If your device isn’t connected to the internet during general use then I wouldn’t worry too much about updating anything. Security fixes aren’t important if there’s no way to connect to your device.

Looks like an article paid for by Epic.

Here’s a repost of what I said the last time the Steam vs Epic Games Store “debate” was brought up:

My biggest concern with Epic is their insistence on kernel level anti-cheat which is just ridiculous overkill and probably being used as spyware let’s be honest. They have many ties to China’s Tencent which has a 40% stake in the company and is known to basically just be an extension of the Chinese government.

There’s also the very odd fact that just having the Epic Games Store open in the background will deplete your laptops battery life by up to 20%. Is it just horribly optimized and uses all that battery even when idling, or is it doing something nefarious in the background? We don’t know.

As for exclusives, they have bought exclusives that were mostly crowd funded from the start which is quite the kick in the teeth to the early investors that helped get the project off the ground. And there were even some exclusives that were already listed for pre-order through Steam, forcing everyone to need to get a refund.

Plus, any good will that they’ve purchased so far is just in service of making a good name for themselves. They’ve been losing around $400 million per year since 2019 just to bring in new users. They’re going to suddenly turn around and start being cut-throat as soon as they think they can.

They are not consumer friendly, they want to dictate trends in gaming. Valve is already the king of that throne and they’re fairly benevolent and have pushed trends that are good for gaming and consumers overall. I have serious doubt that Epic would be anywhere near as good for gaming as Valve has been if they should actually become profitable, and an industry leader. Especially when it’s projected that they won’t be profitable until 2027, which means they’ll need to recoup their investment of nearly $3.2 billion since 2019.

So Argonians having boobs did make sense after all…
