new_guy , to pcgaming in Which game made you realize PC was superior platform to Console (or/and viceversa)?

I’m not particularly fond on the idea that PC is “superior to console”. I just don’t own a console because:

  • The games are cheaper
  • It has retro compatibility built in
  • I can justify spending money on parts to my PC because it’s also the tool I use to work with.

I agree. We can celebrate what makes the PC platform great without turning it into a competition.

PlantUML supports Gantt charts if I remember correctly. Can run locally (java if I’m not mistaken) or via web.

Thorry84 ,

But even when someone doesn’t vote, that doesn’t mean they aren’t Maga?

So if half of voters are Maga and 1/3 of eligible voters actually vote, it’s almost impossible to say something about the population as a whole. We can say about 16% would be the lower limit, but it could be a lot higher. If we take the voters as an unbiased large sample, we could extrapolate and say 50% of the population is actually Maga. But since voters are by definition a biased sample, it’s hard to say what the actual number would be. Especially with humans, that have complex interactions, like a certain persuasion could actually mean someone is less likely to vote. Or the other way around, where wanting to vote makes one persuasion more likely. This makes the whole thing pretty hard.

Well, are you okay? You’re kinda not making much sense in your comments here. Like, the individual sentences make sense, sorta (this one anyway), but they don’t match what you’re responding to very well.

It makes it seem like you’re responding to the wrong comments. Is that the case? Gods know I fuck that up myself.

I still don’t understand how a bunch of Southern, trailer park rednecks who hate new York city rich people, decided that a Manhattan millionaire was the guy to vote for. Why do they think he’s anything like them or has why idea how they live? He’s literally a northern, cartoonish carpet bagger.

garbagebagel ,

I’m sure there’s deeper takes on this but from my understanding, it’s a mix of things: 1) he convinced them he’s not like other politicians (which is true, he was not a politician at all) and 2) he convinced them he’s the “pull yourself up by the jockstrap” American dream and everyone can be like him - that’s just the typical American lie they’ve been using for decades if not longer. Then sprinkle a little bit of christofacist fear mongering in there and you got some undereducated folks excited to see someone who’ll “fight” for their American dream.

Or is it nothing at all for days on end, as your stomach growls and mocks you for being so fat?

Who can say?

No, it’s a three fine meal.

@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

The window units are much more efficient than the portables with hoses. A lot less loss.

Coldgoron OP ,

Very good to know, thank you.

CaptainPedantic ,

This is correct, but they do make portable units with two hoses. Those will be as efficient as a window unit. Costco sells dual hose models for a few hundred dollars. I have one and it works well for heating and cooling.

@rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

I understand the pushback against names like this, and concern for kids receiving these names, but I think it is misdirected. Ya, sure, maybe sometimes the name is literally made up, or in other cases has multiple variations on a theme, but anyone with immigration in their ancestry can tell you that naming conventions do not always move well to other countries. In the USA, we have multiple spellings for names like Muhammed and Dermitt because of this. I don't see why this is a big deal and think it potentially enriches culture.

____ , to asklemmy in Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?
  • If you need medical care, get fucking medical care. Seriously. It will get worse if you ignore it, whatever “it” happens to be.
  • Following the above, have at least one trusted advocate (partner, family member, friend, doesn’t matter) who can explain any chronic issues, typical medications, etc., and who can and will advocate on your behalf with medical professionals in e.g., a hospital setting as and when necessary.

Haven’t tried it on Linux recently, but MakeMKV still supports Linux apparently. You have to build it yourself though.

forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224&s…

DoucheBagMcSwag ,

If this is true, it’s no wonder Linux sadly doesn’t have mainstream appeal. As a current windows user (who is looking to jump out once 11 is forced) I do not see myself doing that.

Berny23 ,

You don’t have to, just get it from flathub as a flatpak.

DoucheBagMcSwag ,

Oh that makes more sense That I can do

DaGeek247 ,
@DaGeek247@fedia.io avatar

They make you compile it because it's non-free software and you're beta testing it in order to use it for free.

It has nothing to do with linux. They do the same for the windows beta.

cmnybo ,

It works great on Linux for DVDs and regular blurays.

Berny23 ,
@Berny23@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Why the hassle? It is available to install as flatpak for any distro: flathub.org/apps/com.makemkv.MakeMKV

jayandp ,

Ah, I missed that since it’s an unofficial flatpak so it wasn’t listed on their site or forums.

ryan_harg OP ,
@ryan_harg@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

That’s exactly what I was looking for - I came across MakeMKV before, but couldn’t find a recent Linux version - didn’t think of Flathub, though. None of the guides that come up if you look for dvd ripping on linux mention it, though… Thanks mate!

I’ve been using this script to install MakeMKV on Ubuntu for years now without issues.

Vilian , to linuxmemes in Have you tried NixOS?

One thing that no-one tested is the overhead of all the sandbox, like, each module, lybrary of program run in a sandbox(some times they tweak the source code not need the sandbox) so I wanted to see the overhead of all of that

ivn ,

It build in a sandbox, but it’s not run in a sandbox.

Vilian ,

I don’t understand, if you run a program inside the sandbox and the program ask for a library, the kernel need to map the library from inside the sandbox to the program, that overhead that I’m talking about

ivn ,

But it’s not run in a sandbox. I’m not sure where you get this from.

Laser ,

This is not how NixOS works. Programs directly link against libraries in the store. There is no sandbox by default when running the binaries.

Mio ,

No, because it miss an ui for the config changes.

I think NixOS is also doing some layering that could cost performance. I am unsure about the storage size, if it is much more like flatpak and snaps that I also dislike.
