Why not offer shopping lists at the supermarket? Could be the first aisle. Ready-made shopping lists, two for $1.
You know… Call me crazy, but something like that could work? Ideally just free, but checklists for the 20 most common items to help remind you what you might miss, and also possibly recipes (frequently switched) from things the shop keeps in stock.
Ahh, is it Not Quite Almost Christmas Time already?
If you want https it’s gotta be a external DNS record anyway
Not sure what you mean by that, but off the top of my head, you can get certificates via challenges that prove DNS control (rather than checking if the DNS points to your server), and you can get wildcard certificates so you don’t even have to expose the existence of subdomains.
And that’s ignoring the option of using your own CA, which only really works with your own devices, but for local access might be viable.
Probably because, to my knowledge, there isn’t a better/more ethical alternative than Linux, so the claim being made is extreme to an absurd degree. It proposes no alternative, and off the top of my head, I can only think of using outdated unmaintained versions of software, not using any computers at all, or switching to something very niche (is FreeBSD slopfree?).
Going to go with a video game: Outer Wilds. The game is very story and mystery oriented, so I don’t want to spoil it, as that can ruin the experience. In short though, it’s an exploration game where you get to do your first flight around a miniature solar system - exploring it freely without a linear sequence or quest markers.
The story is told in a nonlinear way, depending on how you explore it, and the way it comes together and the conclusion it reaches were amazing to discover.
save me from having to block em
I’m not sure, but I doubt getting banned stops you from seeing a community?
an unseasoned barebones window
That’d be because micro doesn’t do a window, or at least doesn’t need one. It’s a terminal text editor, which some people prefer in general, but it can also be used without a graphical environment - like when SSHing into a server or recovering your system if the graphical environment breaks. Or if you’re editing critical system configs with sudo and want to do it from tty with a simple editor to minimize points of failure.
Obsidian, featured in the meme, is on Linux, and for a while now free of charge (but with paid official plugins for syncing and web publishing), and I’d say is pretty good.
I honestly just take notes in sublime text myself, which is paid, but I’m paying for it anyways and often have it open in the background. It can store unsaved tabs in some session file, so I can just put unimportant notes in a tab and have them available to open later.
I also want to mention nextcloud notes, I don’t use it for much so I don’t know how good it is, but I have a nextcloud instance and use the notes for simple notes I want to be able to access from my phone.
Are supposed to, and generally are, but there is a risk of somebody making unsourced changes and you seeing the article before it’s caught. Not a big deal for popular articles, but there are a lot of niche topics.
One thing I’ll say is that Chants of Sennaar is, to my knowledge, usually compared to metroidvanias, part of a subgenre sometimes called “metroidbrainia”, also known as knowledge-gated/rule-discovery puzzle games. Though it’s a bit debatable in terms of how much of it is gated by knowledge, and how much is built to be mechanical progression, but the general idea holds.
I’m also not sure if you can really bruteforce your way through it, but it’s been a while since I’ve played it.
Roguelike is more complex, there’s no governing body to decide on a proper definition, but I think the consensus that was reached long ago includes elements like turn-based, grid-based, non-modal, playable in an ASCII terminal. I think the last one is outdated, but the rest are significant components of what makes roguelikes… roguelikes.
Modality in games is a particularly interesting aspect when you start looking at various other games, and something that matches up with things I dislike in games. One fun example is movement in FPS games, which can be built either on universal mechanics or a predefined moveset - some games will allow you to perform a vault move when next to a low obstacle, other games might let you crouch, jump, and crouch while jumping to get over low obstacles.
There are plenty of games with that that suck, so it can’t be the foundation of what Souls-likes are.
I’m sure there are also plenty of games with exploration that suck, I don’t think that really makes it a valid point. I can’t speak to what soulslikes are, since I haven’t played the original games, but a game can implement one element well and still fail at being an interesting game, which doesn’t invalidate that element in any way.
Realistically, can’t both combat and exploration be foundational elements of soulslike? I got the impression a big part is the way the combat works, usually involving a lot of commitment into your combat moves, with animations on attacks, dodges, heals, and multiple ways to be punished (and punish enemies), including plain damage, wasting items, wasting stamina.
I haven’t played souls games, but perhaps the difference is how central that is to progression? In a metroidvania the world is typically littered by both paths you can’t go through and secrets for you to find, both of which require abilities you’ll be gathering consistently as the main method of progression. As you wander the same paths, the abilities make it easier and faster while letting you find those secrets and now-usable paths to progress further.
It can’t be FOSS but not Libre, the Free in FOSS means Libre. And it also can’t be FOSS but not opensource, of course.
But the removed count only includes a one year period and caps out at 250, how would you find the new average?
I believe that’s what they’re saying, that if released software has any bugs that users encounter, and the developers want to know about them to fix them, they’re “outsourcing QA” to the users.
So yeah, good luck creating software and updates with literally no issues :P
One reason I’ve heard is that oiling up the pasta sort of saturates the surface making sauce stick less to it. But I also don’t think that matters much for leftovers, you’re already losing some “quality” compared to eating it fresh, and it sounds like a way to mitigate that.
The short version is - if you’ve ever heard of infrared cameras that can see heat, that’s because everything glows based on heat. When things are very hot the glow is visible, but even cool things emit light outside of the visible spectrum. And emitting light takes energy, which means blackbody radiation (as this is called) takes energy (heat) away.
Are people seriously going to buy a console that doesn’t even read a disk, just to download a game from the internet?
Are you seriously asking? Because I’ve seen time and time again, the answer to those kinds of questions seems to be yes. I think most people just don’t care, and they don’t need to, they’ll only buy a few games in a console’s lifespan to play for multiple years, and they’ll either just pick up what’s popular, or whichever one has a game they want to play.
My bios/similar are either empty or whatever I put there as a teen… Except for one where I put “Green Is My Pepper”, I should use that more.
