discord is not a forum (even if they want it to be with the forum channels), its never been a good location to store information. That being said, its amazing for real time communication unlike forums. I hate that devs use it for FAQ and bug forms and stuff. I stopped reporting bugs if it requires me to join a discord.

Timeshift uses incremental backups under the hood (using rsync) calling them snapshots. As long as you are using the rsync one and not the BTRF style one, it works the same. I can load my current setup from a live disk and restore just the same.

Basically the first backup ever done is a “full backup” then every backup past that is an incremental one.

Being said, my off site backup isn’t using a cloud provider, my risk case doesn’t need that, I store backups locally and then clone to an offsite every once and awhile

I have timeshift running hourly regardless if using the system. Once the initial backup is complete, any actual performance drops are very negligible since it uses incremental backups, I don’t even notice the program is running most the time. As for automated maintenance, I don’t really have anything like that, I run an update manually every few days, but I could probably configure unattended-updates to do it for me, I just don’t like the idea of automating that.

With how fast boot times are nowadays? I shutdown nightly and save me the hassle of having to worry about some weird oddity occurring, usually it doesn’t but every once and a blue moon plasma hangs on the lockscreen and I get greeted with either a broken desktop or a pitch black screen, both usually are easiest to resolve via rebooting anyway.

Not to mention the steam deck has a weird bug on it that if you leave it powered off for too long, for some reason it decides to just not turn on anymore unless you hook it to power. Super annoying because it will turn on and say something like 80 or 90% power, but the button won’t actually boot the system unless it has a power hookup. I’ve on a few occasions had to use reverse power charge from my phone to the deck to trick it into booting on the go. Once you hear the beep saying its turning on you can unplug it. Weirdest thing

Honestly for me it was starting Young. I can say wholeheartedly that if I hadn’t been working on operating Linux style systems in high school, there is no way in hell that if I tried starting it today that I would want to put myself through the hassle of not only learning it but also fixing it

So I’d have to say an energetic and perseverance and ambitious Style mindset

this is what i meant yea, just delay shipping to store outside the initial batch until all preorders are completed. Or in a perfect world not at all until preorders have been made.

Just have everyone join the queue and call it a day, or better yet, make release day a Nintendo only thing, and then after pre-orders are handled, then start giving to the stores.

This is so dumb.

“We had way more preorders than expected, in order to fulfill our preorders, we will be delaying in store sales until after preorders have been completed”

that would be such a simple solution. It’s not like they are out any money either way, and pushing an instore sale date back to make other prior commitments work isn’t a horrible thing, it just means that people who didn’t bother to preorder won’t get it day 1, but most who wanted it day 1 would have pre-ordered it anyway.

In my eyes your native language is the language that you learned from birth because it’s the one that you started. It doesn’t have to be the one that you’re the most proficient but, it usually is. The definition is

the language or dialect first learned by an individual or first used by the Parent/Guardian with a child

Your primary language is the language you use the most which in your case sounds like it’s English

From what I saw it’s pretty soulless, I didn’t play it much past beta, I have it cause never bothered to play it and been told it mainly died off.

I keep it 68F(20c) downstairs, but the main house temp is regrettably 73F(22C) and I fight to keep it that low because the rest of the house is cold blooded.

I can’t understand your situation but, I personally would be cutting contact regardless of disability. Nothing stated effects your decision making process, they are willingly having those values even if they may not understand the impact of their decision, I would rather stay far away.

Firmly agree, what the US considers left versus with the rest of the world considered the left is vastly different. Even it’s left-leaning parties are borderline to moderate right when compared to the rest of the civilized countries who share similar ideologies.

Any true left leaning candidates get their funding ripped out at the roots and get stonewalled off the ballets, even Sanders, while a breath of fresh air was still more centrist than leftist when he was running, it’s just the US scale is so off balance that he used the “socialist/leftist” tag to get into the news/boost his PR.

I wanna preface this with I had a small keyboard slide phone in school, not a smart phone by today’s standards, but I am firmly against this archaic mentality.

It doesn’t address the elephant in the room, classrooms have become painstakingly boring. There is no real incentive for the student to actually do well anymore, or even pay attention. This is exclusively for the k-12 system though, as the issues seem to have become non-existent entering the college and university system. I went from being a solid D/C student in high-school to being an A/B+ student going into college

I spent my time in grade school fucking around and barely paying attention, this was without a smart phone. I couldn’t keep focused on the class subjects, and so therefore I gave up. The college system has the process down-packed, it’s laid back, not hours on end in a row learning useless shit you won’t need, and you have the freedom to either listen or don’t, there isn’t the constant pressure from professors “You are failing you need to do better” like in high school. Plus the professors seem actually happy to be there and they make the content more enjoyable, its not just droning on and on on a subject.

The only things removing a phone from a classroom is going to do is remove a potential learning tool, and just annoying your students even further. If your student doesn’t want to learn, removing items isn’t magically going to make the kid learn. Make it entertaining, do something OTHER than this stupid info cram shit where you just regurgitate information constantly. There is zero incentive on almost every subject you learn to actually want to learn it. You don’t learn any type of life skills, you don’t learn anything for your career/future. Hell they don’t even teach cursive anymore. My sister couldn’t even read a physical clock entering 7th grade. They don’t teach it. But you can bet things like “what happens in the 16th century” will be taught, or what basic cell structure is (I couldn’t tell you, I forgot all that info leaving that class room).

Like I get needing to know history, and basic mathematics, but the current schooling system is a overburdened plug of useless information for society. Everyone knows it, everyone lies to their kid saying things like “yea you will definitely need to know what beware the ides of march means in life”. If things were taught that people knew would be useful in life (or at the very least explained HOW it would be), and it wasn’t just a professor saying “ok class open your book, this is the lesson” for 3/4 of the year, you might have a better student attention span.

BC2 in my eyes is the best multiplayer battlefield style game. The destruction physics <3

I loved this game, I used to play it on my PS3. It was really the only game I felt comfortable using the flying mechanics in and it didn’t seem super overpowered weapon wise to the point you just got stomped by people who were amazing at the game

That first party warranty repair services sometimes don’t allow having a second party do the repair.

I have always just been able to bring the item into the nearest repair facility, and just have them do the repair under warranty, it wasn’t until today that I learned there is some brands that straight out won’t let you do anything but the ship in and fix style warranties. I would figure it would be cheaper to allow second party repair reimbursement but nope.

I doubt they will find anything copyright wise, patent wise maybe if they had patents for some of the mechanics, but if they don’t already have the mechanics, and try to file post-fact that’s going to backfire.

I left and blocked reddit on my network after the landed gantry debacle. I’m not banned but I might as well be.

that would have been so cool, but I don’t really know how it coulda worked out, like an isolated horror-scape wouldnt allow for char development or anything.
