Yeah. I’m not sure that this has changed much.

I suspect that was a large part of what drove the excitement for something like Valve’s Proton. It was supposed to make it easier for studios to make games available across platforms, because they would. “just work” without having to put special effort in.

This sounds like the same sort of “We found out that the cost is not actually 0, and we want out. We can’t say that though, so it’s your fault”

They may well be lying about their reasons/justifications, I don’t have any way to know one way or the other.

This just isn’t a new thing. Companies fave been blaming the high cost of supporting the relatively small number of users on an “alternative” OS for a very long time. Unfortunately, I think that as long as desktop Linux is in the single or low double digits of percentage of users, this is something we’re going to keep hearing.

A company is unlikely to do a thing if it’s cheaper to not do the thing.

Assuming that there really is significant cheating on Linux clients, this can just be the company saying that there are not enough users to make development of more robust anti-cheat cost effective.

This is basically the same argument that software and hardware vendors have used for decades for why they won’t support Linux

I don’t have any experience wit these pens, but based on this post it seems that you should be able swap in a #6 sized nib.

That’s the reality of public school teacher pay all over the country.

The national average is under $70k

Not a big gamer, myself, but it seems like Valve has done a lot of work to make many (most?) Steam games run well under Linux.

Drivers have come a long way, and a lot of things just work, but it can definitely depend on what hardware is in your system.

I think they mean that she is taking the fall for the “unknown” person she “bought” the gun from.

Implying that she was holding the weapon for someone

I don’t have any experience with this printer, but am similarly curious about it’s viability as a “budget Voron”

Regarding upgradabilty, I saw this video recently with an attempt to turn it into a multi-tool head printer. It’s a work in progress, but I thought it was interesting

I think that the answer to this depends on the audience and the topic or nature of the discussion.

I prefer precise, technical language if the audience has experience in the topic. You can save a lot of time by not explaining things that the readers should, reasonably know.

I think simpler language is appropriate for a more general audience or higher level discussion.

It can be challenging to find the right balance on a forum, like this, where you don’t necessarily know who the audience is.

I’m not sure that there needs to be a any grand cosmic reason for life to exist. Life could just be an accident of random events in our little corner of the universe.

Natural selection offers an explanation for how life changes across generations in response to challenges in the environment. It does not require a plan, just that the outcome of a chaotic process (reproduction) creates mutations that produce a slight edge, or at least no reduction in reproductive efficiency.

Dbus attempts to provide a standardized system for inter process communication (IPC) without the complexity of managing individual connections between each and every process that needs to share certain types of data.

Not sure exactly what you want, but like this may be what you want. https://github.com/PeterDaveHello/ipinfo.tw

There are simpler solutions that are just a php script on your web server if you’re only interested in IP address (I couldn’t find a good example quickly on mobile)

I think that’s kind of rhe point of these sorts to demos to begin with.

The company says we’re developing a product that, we are not ready to ship today, but will be this awesome. Give us some money and you can see how awesome it will be.

I generally assume that anything a company says about a product/service that is not shipping today is the best possible spin on the best version of what they’d like to sell. What you buy probably won’t be what is shown as an early demo

Based on what you wrote, sounds to me like she wants out.

I think that a healthy long term relationship will require some compromise from both partners. Over the course of a lifetime there will be things that two people don’t agree on, sometimes very strongly. Being able to talk through those issues and work out an appropriate compromise is crucial to the longevity of the relationship.

If she’s insistant that the shorts of issues you’ve described are deal breakers for her I think there are a few possible reasons:

• She wants out of the relationship and is using these issues as an excuse
• she’s not really ready for a longterm, serious relationship
• The issues are more serious than you’ve described and she’s not explaining her complaints in a way that makes clear to you what is really wrong

I saw this pop up that’s morning, as well. Clicking the “x” to close the window seems to work for now
