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.

I didn’t realize covering your mouth when yawning was a norm in general, like I don’t cover it at all.

Note: it’s not like I yawn directly at people or in peoples faces or anything, I just don’t cover my mouth.

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.

I mean that does seem to make it pretty simple. However, the US imports roughly 460B annually from china, whereas china imports about 165B annually from the US. and China while doesn’t import as much as the US does, it also has vastly diversified it’s imports so while it might hurt losing the US if an embargo did occur, it would harm the US way more. About 14-15% of all imports the US does is from China, the US is only about 7% of China’s overall imports.

I’m not even convinced that it was a Chinese restaurant. I feel like he was talking to Vance or Musk and thought it was the Chinese Government.

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

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

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.

I assume that it’s his relation to endorsing X again after he left it’s(bsky) board after bsky refused to enter federation territory and then proceeded to add moderation tools to the platform (an action he was strictly against as he wanted it to be completely freedom of ideas).

TBH I agree with a lot of his mentality on it(that it should be further into the federation territory), while I do think some moderation tools are needed, but I think he loses all credit to his claims by endorsing X as the platform that is capable of doing what he wants.
