This was honestly obvious to anyone who read his many LKML gaffes. There’s no way to maintain a healthy psyche if you constantly butt heads with everyone in your field, while a portion of your “fan base” keeps fueling your non-compromising egocentric views.

Everyone needs a reality check every now and then.

Not the way House does!

House is in no way a realistic medical show

What a fucking piece of shit.

I have to admit, every time a story like this comes out, it makes me distrust any other large company all the more. When this whole thing first started, I already expected the publisher to be lying. Looks like the pattern holds true!

No, you couldn’t.

Homomorphic Encryption is a well-known field of research in cryptography. Honestly, if you are capable of understanding the proofs, you don’t need them to be listed on Wikipedia.

Americans (and the rest of the world)

That’s also my approach. If I want to use a slur for comedic effect, I only do so if nobody I’m addressing is actually part of the targeted group.

Damn, that sounds great! Hard to believe we’re already at 3.2, it felt like I was waiting for 3.0 for a decade!

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a try!

Hundreds of Beavers! It’s an absolute delight showing it to someone who has never seen it before.

He should really lick some eggs

I can’t imagine they’ll try to go past 5, but I hope the next one is the last.

Though I’m a bit biased - IMO the last episode of season 2 was a perfect ending, and I’m completely satisfied.

Hm… yeah, I get that (not the part about Boardwalk Empire, haven’t seen that yet). Most people in BB are definitely miserable!

I liked BB a lot, especially on a second watch through many years later, but the main reason is probably just that I can understand why each character behaves the way they do - the writing is consistently “realistic” in a manner I haven’t really seen anywhere else with a comparable length.

The joke is that episode 30 “Fly” is famously the lowest-rated episode of the series. At 7.9/10.

That’s a fairly normal expression?

Fuck off. No, “they” don’t want advantages. Try speaking with a woman in real life, you might find they are normal people!

Ah, I haven’t used wireless VR yet, so I can’t comment on that. Planning to wait for the Steam Frame, I’m sure Valve will make it work well enough. There is a project called ALVR that I keep reading about in the context of wireless VR on Linux, might be something to look at if you wanna dig deeper.

I’d argue that my setup allows you to not treat the OS as a hobby, but your mileage may vary :) I’m using an atomic Fedora variant (specifically Aurora, which is focused on developers - but there’s also e.g. Silverblue (Gnome) or Kinoite (KDE) as normal day-to-day versions, and Bazzite which focuses on gaming). Steam is running through Flatpak, and everything else - SteamVR & the games themselves - honestly just worked for me. Sometimes SteamVR shows an error after starting, in that case I have to quit, unplug my headset for a few seconds, plug it back in & start SteamVR again, but other than that it’s been a fairly painless experience.

I should mention that I use a Valve Index, but as long as you’re using SteamVR, things should work the same.

Sure, that’s fair, but then you shouldn’t go around saying “those distributions make it harder to mess with your computer”. Your criticism seems to instead be “I can’t use the tooling and processes I already know”, which again is fair, but definitely a separate issue.

You’re going to have the same issue with any distribution that uses a different package manager, and it wouldn’t be fair to e.g. Alpine to say “it makes it harder to mess with my system since I can’t use apt or dnf”.
