Think of it as the Mac appstore VS the Windows App store. Mac apps (flatpak) are the same as desktop apps, but sandboxed, the store isn’t intrusive, and people found it convenient, so it was fine. Then the windows app store (snaps) launched and it did basically the same thing but slightly worse, except Microsoft (canonical) forced it down its users throats, so people hated it.

Both camps are right, from a technical perspective, snaps are fine, but philosophically, it sucks, and the Linux community cares way more about the latter than the former, otherwise they’d all be running windows.

Hey, don’t kinkshame.

I didn’t come here for a perfectly reasonable explanation, I came here to be angry!

Assuming you are on a phone, viewing desktop version bypasses the app nag.

Link doesn’t work Btw, got ate by markdown formatting

I think the thing everyone is forgetting is that valve isn’t stupid, there’s no way they didn’t realize you could work around accepting the (legally unenforcable) NDA, and it’s open invite.

Valve 100% knows that keeping it “secret” is good for hype and was expecting this to happen at any time, and the nominal ban was expected, but nobody is gonna get sued either.

More people are talking about Valve’s “secret” new game because of this than would be if they openly announced it.

It’s /smawg/, it should sort of feel like the name doesn’t fit me your mouth properly, English phonotactics doesn’t allow for gliding from W to G without a vowel in between.

NACS is just a different connector, the communication protocol is CCS under the hood. You can use passive adapters no problem. Replacing the connector should be possible, you just need a switch to shunt between level 1/2 AC charging and level 3 DC fast charging.

Not sure I would really count Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman! As a cartoon. It’s a PBS edu-game show hosted by a cartoon dog, the majority of the show is following the contestants doing science challenges, there’s maybe 5 minutes of cartoon storyline per episode.

A quick Google search tells me that the term is outdated and no longer used, having been refuted by modern genetics research.

I blame Dan Povenmire for manifesting this into existence.

The key insight is that the force a plane uses to move is independent of the ground, because planes push on the air, not the ground.

Imagine you put a ball on a treadmill and turn it on, what happens? The ball starts to spin and move with the treadmill. Now take your hand and push the ball backwards against the motion of the treadmill, and the ball easily moves in that direction. The force your hand put on the ball is exactly what planes do, since they push on something other than the ground (the treadmill) they have no problem moving, no matter how fast the treadmill is moving.

Plane on a treadmill is really interesting because if you understand how planes work its so obvious what will happen you don’t need to test it. Planes move on the ground by running their engines, which push against the air, the wheels provide zero motive force. It’s also why planes need tugs to move away from the gate, you can’t run the engines in reverse. Planes are not cars, but people tend to assume the thing they don’t understand works like the thing they do understand, and refuse to believe their hasty assumption is wrong even when told directly their hasty assumption is wrong.

It is, can tell just by looking at it it’s a Rubik’s brand.

And what year did we start using that calendar system? Oh right, it was 525.

For various math reasons you only get consistent systems with 2^n dimensions, so after complex you get quaternions with 4, then the next one that works is 8, then 16, etc. They become less useful because you lose various useful features, like you lose commutabiliy with quaternions (eg ab != ba), and every time you double you lose more things.

Somehow people always forget that Ubisoft published Trackmania (2020). (Limited) F2p, one time purchase for Standard access, yearly sub for club access, which is isn’t even worth it if your not a dedicated player.

Yeah that’s just MDMA.

If not friend why friend shaped?

Not a French speaker,but more than a bit of a keyboard nerd. I can’t help but notice how similar the layout is to the English alt layout Colemak, specifically the angle mod version for ISO keyboards. It is cool that this is an official standard layout. Is this planned to replace azerty completely? I don’t see many other countries other than France making such a change, but I am excited that French has water looks to be a very good modern layout.
