One of the last Web 1.0 bastions in gaming. Really hate to see this, especially when Discord is around the peak of its popularity right now. Here’s hoping a more future-proof alternative than that arises.

Nightweb , to techsupport in Cloned Windows 10 drive keeps taking me to automatic repair after using clonezilla

There’s lots of variables here including your expertise level with tech. I would suggest doing it again, sometimes clones don’t work and a second clone could.

Also I assume that that the new drive works with a fresh install (excluding intel RST shenanigans) and that you tested this?

Also when you go into automatic repair what options does it suggest? I’ve had many clone go weird and yet booting once in safe mode with just a reboot in safe mode fixes it.

Also if I might why Clonezilla rather than a windows aware cloner like Acronis? Also did you have both drives in the motherboard when you clone or were you using a USB adapter?

ornery_chemist , to nostupidquestions in Do you agree with my unpopular opinion about height in rapier fencing?

Nah, reach is a huge advantage. I’m not sure how rapier fencing differs from regulation sabre/epée/foil, but here’s my 2 cents from that perspective:

Smaller people are not, as a rule, substantially quicker than larger. If you see any difference in your experience, it’s likely a selection bias (shorter people have to be quicker to compete at the same level). The shorter person must enter the strike range of the taller person before the taller person comes within theirs and must be significantly quicker or more skilled to overcome that dead space. If the taller person can maintain a proper distance, gg. Taller people can also lunge farther, giving a wider active range.

Targeting is a smaller issue than you make it out to be; footwork and maintaining balance, which reposition the core, are at least as important as leaning to dodge, and advantage the taller person (longer legs = more movement range). If the taller person is coming from above as you say, they can just continue their slash (sabre) downward toward that less mobile core, or squat a bit deeper if the arc won’t reach. If instead you were referring to a poke, they’re either already targeting the torso anyway (foil) or whatever body part is most easily reachable (epée; still often torso, but cheeky wrist/arm strikes can be something of an equalizer here), and anyway they are already striking at a range that the shorter person cannot, making a successful counterattack more difficult.

Besides reach, a height difference is brutal when it comes to sabre fencing; the shorter person is restricted to targeting arms and torso (can’t reach the head easily), so the taller person can anticipate strikes from fewer angles. The taller person can come from any direction and has gravity on their side for own overhead strikes. Those suck to defend against.

EarthShipTechIntern , to linux in IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux

Atom?

emax_gomax ,

Is that still being recommended? Last I heard it was eol, no longer getting feature changes or improvements and was basically superceded by vscode.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

I’m out of the loop. Thanks for filling me in.

Daeraxa ,

Yes and no. The original project is dead but we forked it and continue to maintain and improve it as Pulsar

Daeraxa ,

Pulsar is the current maintained fork of that project, we forked it before it got shut down and are actively developing it,

Why not show the gold medalists… Seeing as most never saw them, and they’ve got zero publicity compared to others.

light_fox , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

you can just dual boot linux next to Windows and switch to Windows when needed. I really like my linux fedora - way more than windows or macos.

What do i like about it?

  • it’s very easy to work with multiple virtual desktops
  • it looks way more beautiful and is more fun to work with
  • extentions make it very customizable, e.g. in the top left I can see the title and artist of the current song playing.
  • the feeling of of not being spied on, at least on the os level, I still think online is a lot of tracking
  • the apps are open source and trustable and do just what they are suppoesed to do and nothing more
    • there is an app to download youtube videos (parabolic)
    • the audio player is very beautiful and minimalistic - I miss it on windows (amberol)
    • the app solanum is a timer app just for the pomodoro time management method. It helped me a lot
    • for notes I use Joplin, which does the job reliable. But I have to admit that I liked working with OneNote more, since it has more functionality and way better pen support.

Regarding office was my experience that MS Office is still better if you have to make an presentation or want to work at the same document at the same time. For basic office work LibreOffice is fine. I would use OnlyOffice if you want better compatibility with MS Office.

I booted windows only if I had to do a presentation or work with an Windows exclusive programm. But most of the time (around 90-95%) I used happily Linux Fedora. I use it for note taking, listening to music, browsing the web and reading & marking PDFs.

I use Firefox as my primary browser but it has sometimes problems with some videos. Then I switch to Brave which does not have those issues. I general I think Linux needs some time to get used to and wants to be discoverd. It’s not that difficult as it may sound but probably wont be a without some learning curve and looking some things up online. I recommend doing it since my user experience has been much better than on windows or macos - plus the privacy thing :)

Blaster_M , to techsupport in Cloned Windows 10 drive keeps taking me to automatic repair after using clonezilla

Typically, I’ve fixed this with a Windows install stick and using the bcdboot command to rebuild the BCD from scratch.

emax_gomax , to linux in IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux

Just use vscode. It’s basically the standard text editor for everything nowadays. Eventually you may want to start exploring vim/emacs but no reason to prioritise that now when all you need is something you can write code in that gives you squigglies when you do something wrong.

VinnyDaCat , to nostupidquestions in Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question)

It’s a shitposting meme. The poster has this pinned on their twitter: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f6781209-78b6-4df4-91eb-08612432e770.png

That said… I have heard horror stories about poor theater staff finding cucumbers after the 50 shades premiere. Some of it was just people memeing and trying to prank but I’m not entirely sure about all of it.
