Aa!

WSL is pretty good these days. Dual boot with Windows is still a pretty risky move with how easily Windows will overwrite your boot loader. I usually recommend you pick one os or the other rather than dual boot, so I’m in favor of WSL or virtualbox. Personally, I have never cared for needing to reboot just to switch operating systems. I tend to stick with one and the second one does nothing but take up disk partition space.

WSL lets you run both simultaneously without rebooting. Virtualbox lets you do the same with extra setup. Virtualbox makes it easier to do GUI setups than WSL does, and the network configuration is a little more obvious.

The best option is to get a second machine so you can run both. If that’s not an option, virtualbox is the better choice for learning. If you just want a Linux environment on your existing setup (similar to using a Mac) then WSL is usually good enough

The browser solves the problem of not having any open API. Each platform wants to handle things in its own way, and the browser is the perfect way to do that. Each service, including both the open and the proprietary ones, can present the feed in the way that they decide is right. The browser already does handle rudimentary account management via form auto fill, as well as a unified notification system.

But as for a unified feed… I think the best example is the issues with that come from Lemmy/Mastodon integration. Mastodon posts have a different mentality than Lemmy posts do, not to mention with structure of responses. I just don’t think it does us any favors to have them share the same feed. Now we have replies that have a clear structure of who they are responding to, but Mastodon users come in adding the user tag into the comment, which is messy at best, and bordering obnoxious at worst.

But I get it, I’m not the audience you’re looking to cater to. I don’t particularly understand the value of RSS readers at all, because I just go directly to the services I want to see the feeds from. Hell, I don’t even use bookmarks. I type in the web address for my services every time

Isn’t this what a web browser already does?

It used to be at the same time, so you’d have to choose between the two

You know which one I was more interested in

• 7 felt like it was mine

I remember that marketing campaign. Windows Vista had a shaky launch, because the hardware manufacturers hadn’t polished the Vista-compatible drivers yet. 6 months later, they had caught up, but people still had a bad taste from it.

So when service pack 1 came out, Microsoft made a reskinned version of it and started an ad campaign with “customers” claiming “Windows 7 was my idea!” and the public ate it up.

That’s literally the majority of the existing mods today

I’m not sure what it is “for” exactly, but in practice it tends to show a lot of brand new posts with zero comments or votes

This is not true, legendary actions are not an option in the custom game settings. This is why there are multiple mods that enable saving in honor mode or legendary actions in other modes.

Not without mods, as legendary actions only come from activating honor mode.

I don’t understand how you got that from the image.

Both monitors on the senior side of the image are showing coding environments

I have never once progressed his romance past “Sounds to me like you need a friend rather than a lover.” Any other option just feels like taking advantage of an abuse victim.

I say we lose the entire Crowder meme format. The “change my mind” bit was from one of his stunts, and this is just keeping it alive longer

There’s still many other meme formats that send the same message, we don’t need to sully Calvin’s image by associating it with a Crowder stunt

Not quite this, but I did have a validation team that didn’t know when to quit.

The project was a Windows service, and they would be constantly opening bugs saying “program crashes when we deleted xxxxx.dll”

Like… Yeah. If you delete necessary libraries from the installation directory, the program won’t run correctly.

Well if you talked to him, you could tell him to leave. He won’t, but you can feel better knowing you tried

Also, didn’t want to associate with that kind of entity? So a vampire was cool, but a bone man is too far? It’s good to know where your boundaries are, I suppose

Imagine programming a computer without understanding the machine code that tells the CPU what to do

Now that you have spelled it out for me, I realize this should have been obvious. I have not been paying attention to what kind of saves each spell has, or how to make sure I use the right one on the right enemy.

I imagine that should help quite a bit

Admittedly haven’t tried bard itself yet, but I’ve got access to all those spells on Gale, and I find a well-placed fireball usually ends up being the better choice. The main problem i have is that I almost never saw those conditions last for even one turn, they would just pass a save and it was like the spell might as well have just missed.

It’s a little frustrating, because surely there must be value in using those spells… But I’m definitely not doing it correctly when I try them out.

For what it’s worth I played tactician mode right from the start, which probably colored my learning curve a bit

The Emperor said that he found the artifact first and that it (Orpheus) freed him from the brain’s influence while he was within it. Then he looked to make allies on the outside, which meant using the power to free the people who were conveniently nearby

I’m sure he tried to pick out the strongest ones that were available, but it’s all presented like he had to be inside in order to wield its power and be free of the brain, and we were allies of convenience.

Not to say you’re wrong, because we don’t even necessarily have to trust his version of events. He was, after all, trying to make sure we would accept him when we discovered he was a mind flayer

My experience in the game mostly feels like any turn that a character isn’t dealing damage is a wasted action.

Sure there’s a few exceptions, like putting haste on Karlach is insanely powerful. But I’m struggling to figure out how to use most support actions or classes effectively
