has dust changed

Dust. Dust never changes.

Premium drops are random, determined by a formula that takes into account friendship, mood, and daily luck (for ducks and rabbits). There’s no clear cutoff value. More is better, of course.

Make it a habit to check on all of your animals every day. You’ll keep them happy and youl want to see if they produced anything anyway.

The amount of work actually doesn’t matter (except when it does; especially the EU may consider it). The specific wordings might matter but that’s not immediately obvious. A dictionary is at least close enough to mere database that its protected status isn’t automatic. The more selective the dictionary is the more obviously it is protected since the selection process is an expression of creativity.

Fake entries are definitely used in practice, most likely because they move the dictionary from “probably protected but the court would have to decide” to “definitely protected”.

What they actually own the copyright to is the fake entries they added to the dictionary because mere collections of facts aren’t copyrightable.

Good to know. We initially set that network up well over a decade ago so my knowledge isn’t exactly current.

You could try Tinc but it’s fairly involved to get running. Pretty nice if you have a root server and want to get several people wired up, though. There are probably easier solutions for your use case.

By the time he was turning into a lizard, apparently so.

I mean, Tom Paris is a convicted terrorist and has abducted and mutated his captain in order to have sex with her. Successfully. And that’s just who immediately springs to mind.

Starfleet is a wild bunch.

One day Gregor Samsa woke up and realized he had at least three friends.

Yep. I run Garuda and the main pull is that it’s a more user-friendly Arch with a lot of stuff I want to use preinstalled. I don’t really care about how XTREME it is or whether I might potentially get 1 FPS more.

All other things aside, which Logitech mouse are you talking about? Both my G Pro and my G 305 work out of the box. Logitech also advertises them as ChromeOS compatible and AFAIK the Logitech wireless dongles are USB HID compliant so seeing a Linux straight up refuse to interact with them sounds very weird.

Android already does that, no AI required. Some fairly simple math is enough.

The device first charges to 80% and holds there. It also calculates how long it will need to charge from there to full and when it will need to resume charging so that it will hit 100% just before the next alarm goes off. Then it does that.

All other points aside, “the show is too character-centric and a spin-off could never work” is what a bunch of trekkies said when TNG was announced. No Trek without Kirk, Spock, and McCoy had any hope of being a good show.

Then TNG came out and it was fine.

For that matter, Atlantis worked just fine for me, as well. Universe didn’t but that’s mainly because it had focus issues and a weird tone. There is potential for a good new Stargate.

The question is, of course, what they’d do with it. The new Trek era has been pretty hit-or-miss and it’s hard to say whether we’d get the Stargate equivalent of Picard or Strange New Worlds.

If it’s another badly lit attempt at making a show out of nothing but curse words and scowls I’d pass. But if it’s another fun, witty ensemble show that knows when to take itself seriously and when not to – yes, please.

It’s a pun on the Met Gala. Honestly, this might be the most sensible Heathcliff I’ve seen so far.

That image doesn’t look AI generated to me. GANs are typically terrible at keyboards.

Also, Ubuntu is moving towards using snaps for everything so they’re pretty much the successor to PPAs.

Mostly yes but there’s one other option that simplifies the whole thing: Chromebooks. They’re actually pretty decent for someone who doesn’t need much beyond a browser, a mail client, and a basic office suite.

Sure, they’re tied to Google with all that entails but they can be a real option for someone like a senior who relies on relatives for tech support.

Unbothered by typos. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

I’d love to but on my gaming rig Wine/Proton will absolutely refuse to install the Visual C++ runtime, making me unable to play most games. On another, virtually identical, Linux installation it works without issue; in fact, I have fewer weird issues like a game randomly not connecting to EOS.

I consider it karmic justice for buying Nvidia; that’s the major difference between the two systems.

(Update: The latest Wine version seems to have fixed this. I’m certainly not complaining.)
