YSK how to talk about the PM of the UK.
  • Aha, thanks.

    Yeah I noticed some of the cabinet (Angela Raynor, Ed Milliband) had right honourable, but not all, but I didn't know the criteria.

  • YSK how to talk about the PM of the UK.
  • I think he has that title too by virtue of being an MP, not the PM.

    other MPs (I assume all but could be wrong) are also Right Honourable.

  • Doctor Who fans react hilariously to ‘underwhelming’ reveal in ‘disappointing’ finale
  • Yeah, exactly this. We're clearly not done here.

  • Fedora Silverblue is the most frustrating distro so far
  • I don't know tons of the detail but I understand the principle. The immutable part of the system is really just an applied oci container image for any ublue based distro.

    Certain mount points are writable and persisted (e.g. /home), but otherwise you can just reimage the entire system with any compatible (ublue based) image. Then each image is built by layering changes using ostree. So that's how you get the different distros.

    Silverblue is ublue with gnome, kinoite is ublue with KDE, Bazzite layers steam, proprietary Nvidia drivers and other stuff mainly gaming related, etc.

    System updates (which tend to be regular) are just applying an updated image, so actually updating is effectively the same as rebasing.

    You can also yourself add ostree layers on top of the base image, and if you rebase to a different one your layers get reapplied on top.

  • Simple fix on KDE wayland for windows to remember their last position
  • There is definitely this for activities, so I'd be surprised if there isn't for virtual desktops given how much more popular/supported they are

  • What are developers in different languages known as?
  • See also: GNU's Not Unix, WINE Is Not an Emulator...

    And in a slightly different way: I'm So Meta Even This Acronym (ISMETA)

  • Can I install Ubuntu 18 software on Ubuntu 22.04? (Technically Linux Mint 21.3)
  • Since they already mentioned WSL, you can also describe distrobox like WSL for Linux.

    but yeah, agree this would be the simplest.

  • I 100% agree with the sentiment here, almost exactly what I said to my wife about the perfect blend; it's uniquely Doctor Who.

    However, the gravity bit is almost certainly not unnecessary, because they kept saying "mavity" for the rest of the episode. It's a clue. This is no longer our universe, shenanigans are already afoot. There's definitely a reset coming at some point, because it's not going to be "mavity" for the rest of the show's life.

    And the Doctor is aware (his facial expressions whenever "mavity" was said, and he said "gravity" near the end), but Donna isn't (she didn't know what he meant when he said "gravity" near the end)

  • I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters
  • While I too like the analogy, and agree that Windows is becoming increasingly money grabby, I feel the need to be fair: as an OS it has supported native ISO mounting since Win7, just right click an ISO file and choose "Mount"...

  • Call me a taxi
  • Speak for yourself

  • Shout out to that moment back in 2009 when Robin Walker of Valve once wrote that they started working on Team Fortress 2 back in 1987.
  • My guess is a typo, possibly supposed to be 11 or 12? Is 1998 too early for TF2 design to be occurring?

    Team Fortress 2 was announced in 1998

    According to Wikipedia. So that looks plausible.

    The post however talks about gathering feedback from players of TFC, which didn't come out until 99. Maybe Robin meant the original mod, which he also worked on, or maybe he just misremembered at what point TFC came out or when they actually explored the death stuff that resulted in the freezecam.

  • what's an unfortunate typo you've had that made it look like you said something fucked up ?
  • This reminds me of my practice French oral exam at school, so not a typo but still:

    As part of the conversation my teacher asked what sort of things I liked to read, and I decided to talk about a then popular technology magazine called T3.

    "T trois" sounds rather like "Tais toi" (shut up), and she was a bit taken aback!

    Thankfully though we learned not to use that in the real exam.

  • Tomb Raider I-III Remastered
  • Haven't seen this everywhere, but RPS say:

    The original Tomb Raider was a relatively early 3D game, created in an era before analogue sticks, and it's a little awkward to control in modern hands. The remasters include the ability to switch back and forth between "classic and modern joystick control schemes", as well as camera lock-on

  • lazy today

    I can sympathise.

    Thanks, and thanks for posting all these! Definitely a highlight of my feed.

  • 6-29-86
  • Any chance of reverting the date format?

    • I find it hard to read generally in my feed since it's shorter and just numbers
    • but also, the old format is unambiguous; the new format is literally only used in the USA.

  • Thanks for the tips.

    I'm a dev by day, and no stranger to bash/zsh and powershell. That said I don't want to constantly be tinkering in the terminal just to use my OS.

    Cheers for the pointer to Nobara, I'll look into that as an option too!
