Is this what it feels like to be color blind and have people show you charts? Who the hell puts all the other comparison metrics in gray scale?

This thread is about the steam deck. It is a purpose built piece of hardware that runs its software in containers.

It can run regular desktop software, but it is absolutely not a replacement for “a general purpose system”.

Isn’t that technically what Android fix 15 tears ago?

You need to adjust the Pluto Nash budget for iflation as well. It was a ~$100 million budget in 2002.

Makes me wonder how many other movies did worse when we consider adjusting their budget to inflation.

I mean… if you think fighting a grizzly bear is a good Plan A, go for it.

Grizzly bears are brown.

You lie down in hopes that it will not perceive you as food and once it has determine you are no longer a threat, it will hopefully leave you with lots of wounds requiring stiches, but not completely dead.

Does that mean you don’t have to get down to the bus stop?

Aw Ffff…

I’ve got a pair of vice grips somewhere in my flat.

It’s not even that big of a flat, and I don’t even have that much stuff. There’s no way I ever left the flat with them. Yet they’ve completely disappeared.

You only have to show your boarding pass for the tax breaks that come with traveling internationally.

My grocery store just changed from 6 registers + self-checkout to 2 registers + 12 self checkout.

And the register lanes used to always be full.

I do not look forward to going to the store now. It’s a mess.

It’s been a decade. They’ll live.

She wont

It’s all tied to the old military thinking.

Russian soldiers are not fighting for Russia. Russian soldiers are fighting for their generals. Similar to how Roman armies worked, or… well, really like any army worked until we got to the nationalism level that eventually lead to WWI. One of the most effective ways the generals got their troops to follow them was allowing them the “spoils of war”. Good ol’ raping and pillaging.

By comparison the Ukrainian army is unified in their fight for Ukraine. They’re not fighting for a person, they’re fighting for their people. All the fighting happening inside Russian borders isn’t to secure loot, it’s to end the war so they can go home.

Converting miles to kilometers and vice versa is a fun exercise to do in your head

The Fibonacci sequence (where every number in the sequence is a sum of the previous 2 numbers) has a ratio of Fib(n)/Fib(n-1) converging to the golden ratio phi (~1.618) as n approaches infinity.

A mile is 1.609 kilometers, so the ratio of phi is an extremely close approximation of that.

What this means is you can easily use the Fibonacci sequence to quickly convert from miles to kilometers using adjacent numbers in the sequence

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, …

So you can quickly see something like 5 (or 50, or 500) miles is approximately 8 ( or 80, or 800) kilometers.

Also, yiu can quickly do easy multiplication or division to figure out other approximate distance.

Say, for 6 miles. 3 miles ( * 2) = 5km ( * 2) = 10km.

For 11 miles, 55 miles * 2 = 110 miles / 10 = 11 miles, and 89 km * 2 = ~180 km / 10 = 18 km [actual conversion is 17.703 km, so, pretty close]

You can do similar approximations by using other multiples.

A couple years agoI (at the time mid 30s male) was coming back from a movie with my GF at about 11pm waiting for a bus in the UK. Two moderately drunk guys (looked to be about 10 years younger?) were waking down the same sidewalk, and about 2 steps after they passed us, one of them turns around and goes “Mate…”, me and my GF look over and he’s looking me up and down, “… NICE ass!” then fist bumps me and keeps walking.

She was like “what the fuck was that?”

I said “meh, it happens”.

The hell it does.

You’ve spent too much time talking to my family.

That’s why I only use my socks by proxy

Time for the most productive part of my day

I don’t think I’ve had a pacman update take longer than 10 minutes before. Sounds like OP was updating all their AUR packages too.

Still absolutely a terrible thing to do on 10% battery life. I bet there’s an AUR package for “check battery level before update” out there somewhere though.

OPs meme is "use distro whose model is ‘give users enough rope to hang themselves’ " and complaining he’s at the gallows
