at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones

Blasphemy!

4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.

IPv6 has privacy addresses, though. Stuff on my network generates a new random address every day and uses that address for outgoing connections, so you can’t really track individual devices inside my network.

IPv6 has a policy of throwing more address space at stuff to make routing simpler, though.

IPv4 will individually route tiny slices of address space all over the world, IPv6 just assigns a massive chunk of space in the first place and calls it a day.

Or you can mess with the player. Someone turns up chasing them for child support.

My point is that gaming could abandon “A/B” in favor of something more like an actual spectrum of Height, Weight, and Gender Presentation instead of just awkwardly renaming the binary? I wouldn’t get so up in arms about gender replacing body type.

Okay, but an in-depth character creation system that lets you pick and adjust individual features is a lot more work than just manually creating two models and asking the player to pick one. Adding that means something else gets cut.

Putting in half a dozen body types and a boob slider shouldn’t be a ton of work, but devs who only offer two player models to choose from in the first place probably aren’t putting that much thought into character creation.

using Plasma

Plasma and “apps apply scaling themselves” works perfectly for everything except non-DPI aware apps. If you don’t use any of those, it all just works.

Ideally all DPI aware apps would apply scaling themselves and non-DPI aware apps would be scaled by the system, but this is complicated to actually do. All apps run in the same xwayland environment at the same DPI under Plasma, so you have to set scaling for the whole environment.

Or an email client where you double click the link text to select it and press copy, and somehow this puts the link plus a trailing space in the clipboard to be pasted into a browser.

So after it’s done you can adjust it’s cooking time, but instead of a cook time knob that you turn they try to pretend it’s AI?

I don’t even have the software for my mouse installed. I think she’s massively overestimating the value of mouse software updates.

She’s just trying to figure out how to make renting cheap peripherals make sense so that you can keep paying Logitech forever.

This. If you ask an image generator for a bed in the shape of a pineapple, it probably has no pineapple-shaped beds in its training data but it has pineapples and beds and can mash the concepts together.

Since anyone can download and train their own AI, that ship has probably sailed.

They also wouldn’t allow the new devs to talk to the old devs, so they had to figure out the old codebase for themselves.

You’re not supposed to use fc00::/8, so it’s just the fd00::/8 half that’s the new ULA.

That’s what temporary privacy addresses are for. Clients can just keep generating new addresses in your /64, which is it’s own subnet.

Yeah there is: not breaking all your internal traffic when the wan link goes down and you lose your prefix.

Respond to the player with a question, “Are you searching for traps?”

You’d think so, but the logs often contain a ton of noise along with the one line that tells me what the actual issue is.

I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it’s always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.

People really don’t want to give you the information you need to help them.

Nobody’s posted the vending machine?

I’d argue that if pushing the brakes hard can blow up the brake lines, they already needed fixed.
