but it seems too good quality to be custom work and is definitely an official controller.

Custom official controllers are a thing.

When public officials tamper with elections, it’s election fraud.

Shit in, shit out. That’s AI.

“On two occasions I have been asked, – “Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” … I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.”

—Charles Babbage, on his analytical engine, 1864

Technically, what he’s doing is election fraud.

Depends on the distro. Some have a configuration setting to allow unfree software or not, others have separate repos.

A similar argument is what finally caused the value of the vi family of editors to click in my brain:

They are designed to be fully functional over even the shittiest possible* remote connection. You can’t always count on ctrl, alt, or even the arrow keys being transmitted in a way that is understood by the remote machine.

*Well, I guess the worst possible terminal would be something like an actual teletype, and in that case you’d probably want to fall back to ed or its descendants. To save paper, if nothing else.

Gah, you’re right. I had it that way at first, but then glanced down a list to check my count and they listed 2002’s Harem Adventures as a separate game even though it’s just the Java phone port of the original.

I’d just like to point out, for the record, that that isn’t the original trilogy. Sands of Time is the fifth Prince of Persia game.

You say that as though he isn’t one of them.

apropos is also helpful if you want to do something but don’t know what the relevant tools are.

Indeed, friend citizen. Would you like some Bouncy Bubble Beverage?

So crude, when you could use a butterfly.

As a staunch soupist, I’m afraid I can’t support him.

Also I’m neither conservative nor British.

It’s funny, I just switched to pulseaudio hoping it would fix some issues I’ve been having with pipewire. It did not.

Edit: I’m not on Mint, though, so best of luck.

It seems kind of disingenuous to compare enterprise support contracts for Linux to personal Windows licenses. Especially while also ignoring that you do pay for Windows, it’s just hidden in the cost of the device.

Though it is also true that Linux is gratis and Windows is not.

IMO the early game exploration rush is the best part. Anomalies and archaeological digs give that great Star Trek vibe that kind of goes away once everyone is settled into their borders.

I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.

Hmm. I wonder what the nature of Owlcat’s relationship with GW is? Was the recent Rogue Trader game part of an ongoing licensing deal or just a one-off?
