My friends and I play it nightly, because it's a good casual FPS and it has many modes, decent progression. Honestly environment destruction is such a powerful mechanic for making games have variability between games that it makes each feel unique - like a puzzle even at times.

There's not a great deal of free games right now that are capturing our attention, we wanted an FPS this month, and there's been no paid games everyone's been willing to jump on.

Funny enough we're waiting on Arc Raiders to drop which is also a game by the studio behind The Finals.

"I know zero people who play it, so let me into the inside knowledge about it. "

"Hi, my friends and I play it. We're people. Here's why we like it."

"You sound like an ad".

My brother in Christ, you asked for someone to tell you about the game and then I did - wtf did you think was going to happen. I'm not even really giving it a glowing review. I'm mostly saying there's not a lot of great competition in the scene right now and this game does enough good to be fun to play. At the cost of free, my poorer friends are happy to play it while we wait for the next paid game we know we want to get.

I'd love to be playing Nightreign but it's not good enough for them to buy in, and other games like... Oh what's that extraction shooter by the original Hell Let Loose team... Hunger? That's not out yet.

Like ya dawg, I like The Finals - I'm a guy on the Internet responding to a comment from a random about the Finals. That's a pretty safe bet.

Surprised by some of the comments here.

Whether or not the solution being proposed is the best or only one is the question.

Instead several users are taking any discussion as being anti-democratic.

The Chief Electoral Officer of Canada raised concerns about how these long ballots were impeding the democratic process, including by presenting barriers to accessibility by voters.

This has become an increasing problem, with former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s riding being targeted in 2019.

There seem to be two kinds of barriers:
- physical barriers to finding and marking the ballot of their choice
- becoming informed of the positions and intents of candidates when there are so many candidates that do not actually intend to serve as MPs.

The underlying issue seems to be that a small group of qualified voters in a targeted riding are nominating a very large number of candidates.

That is 60+ candidates put forward by the longest ballot group were all nominated by the same small number of voters.

Is this reasonable?

Democratic rights are balanced with responsibility under the Charter. Is it reasonable for a single voter to sign the nomination papers for 50 candidates or even 20.

Only being able to sign the papers for one candidate in one election period may be too limiting as not all candidates obtain enough signatures to be minor drop out later for other reasons.

Would limiting the right to sign nomination papers to 2 or 5 candidates be a reasonable balance under the Charter?

While this specific solution being proposed by this CPC member may be too restrictive, it seems worth a debate.

And perhaps the second issue of voters being able to reasonably obtain information about the intent and positions of candidates would be resolved if there were not so many nominated candidates.

The Rhinoceros party position that their candidates would resign if elected was well known so voters could make an informed choice. The current long ballot situation doesn’t offer that choice.

A proactive referral to the Supreme Court of Canada might be the best way to get an understanding of the balance of democratic rights. It would be best to have a read on what would be a reasonable limitation on both those who sign nominations and those who put themselves forward vs the responsibility to have accessible ballots with candidates who intend to serve before any changes to the the elections act is brought forward.

Needs to be % based. Years ago the TV show top gear was racing across Europe, they didn't speed in Finland as speeding tickets are based off income. Every other country they would speed and break whatever laws they want as it's small fines. Finland they drove proper because the speeding tickets would be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It works. Put a fine based off profit, and all of a sudden you'll have complete compliance. Good luck getting that law passed when the billionaire class rules both parties and has us fighting over washrooms.

Personally, I think it would be great to give this particular flag the same protections as a civic flag.


It already is protected.

“The National Flag Act states that no strata has the authority to tell citizens they can’t fly the Canadian flag, and the Flag Act acknowledges that there are other flags,” said Parke, though there’s no express permission to fly an Indigenized Canadian flag.

If someone holds their pee, which would happen first - the sphincters giving way due to the pressure, or the bladder rupturing?

Asking this since I've always been told the former and that your bladder rupturing from not going to the toilet is a myth and the story of Tycho Brahe is too old to be reliable. But in recent years, I've seen articles about people drinking alcohol and passing out and their bladders bursting because the sensations got dulled (which still shouldn't affect the sphincters giving way due to the pressure before the bladder actually ruptures, since it's about the sphincters being not physically strong enough to hold back the pressure).

The existence of overflow incontinence would seem to contradict this story from 2020, for example. Alcohol dulls the urge to urinate, but overflow incontinence often happens in absence of this urge as well, and when the detrusor muscles (which squeeze the bladder) aren't working.

What's the straight dope here?

Disclaimer: Not a medical scientist.

With that said, your question would probably hold more water (pun intended), if you had asked regarding a urinary tract infection or similar infection forcefully blocking the urethra, making it almost impossible to piss even if you wanted or needed to.

I won't go into the fine details, but early 2009 was definitely not fun for me after a multi-systemic infection that started as a dental abscess.

No, luckily nothing down south ruptured, but its never good when someone is pissing brown, I couldn't hardly even piss for a few days after I started antibiotics.

Anyone get a Royal Kludge R75 working under linux and Vial?

My R75 works fine under via.

I'm using the R75 vial firmware located here.

github.com/mossbed/r75

It won't compile, as cloned. It's more than just the directory structure which is completely silly. It's not surprising it didn't work, given it's messy state. I had to modify it a bit, so it could easily be something I did.

I had to add a UID:

config.h -> #define VIAL_KEYBOARD_UID { }

and uncomment tap_dance_action in keymap.c.

tap_dance_action_t tap_dance_actions[] = {
[TD_RESET] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN(safe_reset),
[TD_CLEAR] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN(safe_clear),
[TD_CTL_TG] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_LAYER_TOGGLE(KC_RCTL, _CTL_LYR)
};

That's about it.

It compiles and downloads cleanly. Via continues to work but Vial does not discover it.

This mosbed firmware extension claims to be a derivative of this work but it doesn't seem to be.

github.com/irfanjmdn/r65/tree/…

Anyone have Vial working? It's a popular keyboard so I expect someone has solved this problem. If no one responds, I'll take it on in a week or so so we can all enjoy ou R75 on linux with Vial.

The problem seems to be lack of ability to give the board a magic serial number. The vial app looks for a specific string in the serial number ("vial:") to identify a vial capable keyboard. My R75 won't accept a serial number, no matter what I do.

Apparently, this is a limitation of some cheap USB controllers (always answer 0 to all serial requests). I don't know if that's true but ChatGPT tells me it's so.

udevadm info -a -n /dev/hidraw$(ls /dev/hidraw* | tail -1 | tr -dc '0-9') | grep -i serial  2 ✘
ATTRS{serial}=="00000000000000000000000000000000"
ATTRS{serial}=="0000:09:00.0"

Apparently, the magic number can be coded into the UID, also. I'm working on that, too, with no success so far. Apparently, USB controllers don't stand in for UID in any case.

I'm struggling with this. If anyone has some ideas or clear direction, I would consider it a favor. If I can manage to make it work, I'll publish the firmware for everyone.

Even if someone got the mossbed firmware to work, that would be helpful to know. I have been banging on it for three days with no luck. This is the most expensive, cheap keyboard I've ever purchased. lol!

Yes agree but the NDP have been here before (reduced), NDP voters lent their vote to the Liberals this time to block a PP govt while US is attacking us. While I acknowledge that the federal NDP is in disarray (no leader and very few federal seats) they still are the provincial govt in BC and Manitoba and form the opposition in Alberta, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. You could say that the federal cons are also in disarray, the leader without a seat, a leader who is the least popular leader in the country, who still has to survive a leadership review, and who may not survive that. We are not turning into a 2 party country actually IMO.

Hogan still silent on agency nurse healthcare scandal
On Thursday Registered Nurses’ Union President Yvette Coffey took aim at [Newfoundland and Labrador] Premier John Hogan, who has yet to publicly address the healthcare scandal, which [Auditor General] Hanrahan says has resulted in the province paying upward of $400,000 on average per agency nurse over the past couple of years.

NL Health Services, the province’s health authority, spent $241-million on agency nurses between 2022 and 2024, according to the auditor general. That’s up to four times the salary of local registered nurses, PC leader Tony Wakeham has argued. “Public nurses were denied benefits, pushed into arbitration over overtime, and treated as an afterthought,” Wakeham said last week. “The Premier, who once served as both Minister of Health and Attorney General, has remained absent and silent, even as the AG pointed to potential criminality and conflict of interest.”

Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?

This question came about over a discussion my brother and I had about whether dogs should be on leashes when outside. We both agreed that yes, they should, for several reasons, but that's not the point.

Let's use a hypothetical to better illustrate the question. Imagine that there's a perfume - vanilla, for example - that doesn't bother you at all (you don't like nor dislike it), but that is very upsetting to some people, and can even cause some adverse reactions (allergies or something). In this hypothetical, based on the negative effects, you agree that vanilla perfumes should be banned. Currently, however, they are allowed.

You're walking down the street, and randomly smell someone passing you by and they're wearing a vanilla perfume.

Would that upset you? Why, or why not?

My answer is yes, without a doubt. Even though the smell itself doesn't bother me, the fact someone would wear that perfume and not only potentially upset others, but put them in danger, is upsetting.

My brother, however, would say no! He couldn't explain his reasoning to me.

I know this is a little convoluted, but I hope I got my question across.

There was a certain type of perfume that seemed popular back in the 90s, that would make me instantly gag and almost puke within seconds. I have no clue how anyone found that as any sort of pleasant smell.

To me I thought it smelled like a woman with a nasty yeast infection, trying to cover it up with potpourri. But it wasn't even the women's health causing it, literal potpourri smell alone causes me the same gag reflex, the stuff just smells nasty to me and I can't be in the same room as that smell for long.

So yes, there are reasons to be offended by particular scents, even if others somehow find them pleasant.

[Workaround] (Arch, KDE Plasma 6.4, Wayland) Resuming from sleep taking up to 30 seconds, display settings not loading, screen auto-rotate broken after suspend - issue with iio-sensor-proxy 3.7

Once again posting something for reference as I couldn't find it online

Symptoms


No issues after logging in.
After suspending (sleep) and resuming, screen takes 25 - 30 seconds to turn on.
Display settings in Plasma take a long time to load, sometimes don't show automatic rotation option.
Turning on screen after turning off (even without sleep) takes a long time.
No suspicious logs in Kernel and Journald (even after comparing post-fix).
Switching kernel makes no difference.
Logging out and back in temporarily fixes screen rotation and screen waking until next suspend.
Everything works in X11 session apart from screen rotation (appears unsupported).
Running monitor-sensor hangs when running after suspend
systemctl stop iio-sensor-proxy fixes slowdown issues

Workaround


Downgrading to iio-sensor-proxy 3.6-1 following Arch Linux package downgrade instructions.
In my case with a cached package
```<>
sudo pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/iio-sensor-proxy-3.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

and optionally adding it to IgnorePkg  
```<>
IgnorePkg   = iio-sensor-proxy # Issues in Wayland after suspend

System info


OS: Arch Linux x64
Host: Lenovo ThinkPad L390 Yoga
Kernel: 6.12.35-1-lts
DE: Plasma 6.4.2
iio-sensor-proxy (broken version): 3.7-1

We need better infill policies.

My fear is that we're going to have huge amounts of federal funding coming in to municipalities to build massive swaths of suburban sprawl in the name of additional housing, putting more fuel on the fire that is car dependence.

Even new developments that have "mixed-use" multifamily are depressing to be in when they're completely isolated from the rest of the city and you can only go in or out with a car.

Btw, here's how you configure HiDPI for GNOME. Unfortunately, my laptop has a hydeepeeay display, so it's not fully compatible with Linux. (It's 3840x2160, so at least 2x scaling is possible, hypothetically.)

Commands from the Arch Wiki, but also adds cursor scaling:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "[{'Gdk/WindowScalingFactor', <2>}, {'Gtk/CursorThemeSize', <48>}]"
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2

The default GNOME configuration is some how missing that. I didn't have to do that in Arch, but I do in Guix. IDK. Anyway, if you don't run those commands certain apps will be tiny, including a tiny mouse cursor.

As per title, I am curious. How does your mind / your thoughts work? I only ever experienced my own thoughts, so I'm curious how it works for other people.

I for one feel like my thoughts sometimes are like me talking to myself silently. Sometimes I can even let out a random short sound, which I've come to start disguising by laughing kinda quietly or coughing or whatever. Like it was part of something, and not like an inner monologue almost leaking out.

Well, I wouldn't say that with any certainty - there's certainly a chance the pulling off of the hijab was motivated by xenophobia, but even if it was, that only puts it a distant third behind the violent assault and the robbery. It shouldn't be the first thing mentioned in the headline because it implies having her hijab removed is worse than getting her store robbed and her head kicked in.

billionaires are a cancer on society [literally]

Ok so how does a cancer kill its host?

It grows until it consumes so many nutrients that the other living cells don't get enough. The host literally starves even if he eats plentifully.

The same applies for the US: The billionaires are not only hoarding wealth, but by doing so they're crippling the economy for workers and everybody besides themselves.

Avid Amoeba

Political campaigns cost a lot of money and billionaires fund the ones that would bail them out directly or indirectly. So billionaires are in fact bailing themselves out. This is why we so often find ourselves in the situation where all candidates are shit and we try voting for the lesser turd. If it were merely a matter of voting, we wouldn't be in this position. Unless this is widely understood and we take the steps needed to counteract it, we'd forever be pointing at either the housing minister, or the voters and ask how could this still be happening. (Actually we won't because the system would collapse when workers eventually revolt, but you get what I'm saying.)

The theory that if we only let large firms fail when they fuck up, things would get better is a fantasy because that changes nothing of significance in who holds power in society. And that's before we think about corporate ownership and how profits are protected during failure. And before we consider that when firms fail, they rarely disappear. Instead they get absorbed, customers, employees and capital by their competitor, creating even bigger firms, now able to exercise higher market power, and their owners even richer. Competition does not lead to a competitive equilibrium outside of rare cases. Instead it leads to consolidation and eventually monopolies or oligipolies.

Yes I do mean the revolving door. Also the campaign finance laws still favor better funded campaigns and we know how much better funded the cons are for example than anyone else. And then there's the spending that goes to advertising from third parties which is very high. And then we have the third party ad spending outside of campaign periods. Your Canada Prouds and such pushing corporate propaganda all day, every day. And then in some provinces there are no limits for provincial elections or the limits are quite high. Don't get me wrong, we're in a much better position in this regard to the USA but we're very much not in a democratic environment that really favours the majority of working Canadians.

Charlie Angus: American Dachau
Six months.

That's all it took for the Trump regime to make the move from kidnapping people on the street, to threatening to strip political enemies of citizenship, to selling swag celebrating the construction of an American concentration camp.

Six months.

And Republicans say that merch promoting the newly built Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is "going like hot cakes."

Some detractors have called the camp Alligator Auschwitz, but this may not be the most accurate comparison. Not yet anyway. Because the death camps didn’t just appear; it took years of increasing brutality and degradation before they got to Auschwitz.

It began at Dachau.

Weird line tearing on KDE

Posting here too as I've not had any responses in the more relevant communities.

Hi there, I've got these really odd issue where certain windows will cause random lines like the one in the screenshot appear on my screen. They will often flicker a bit and will dissapear if I hover my mouse over them. The lines will display what is beneath the window itself. These occour quite frequently and are frankly getting quite annoying to deal with.

Is this a known issue with KDE right now? It does not happen while using Gnome on the same machine + screen. If it matters I am running CachyOS+KDE 6.4.1+AMD.

If there is anythign I can do to fix this then I'd greatly appriciate some pointers!

Linux gave me a brand new laptop

I bought a Lenovo laptop, one from the the bargain bin, 11th gen Intel and 8gb soldered RAM

Even if I reinstalled Windows to make sure all the bloatware was removed, it was almost unusable. At boot I was left with only 800mb free memory, and "Lenovo vantage" kept reappearing automatically like malware. (It's a useless electron app that wastes half a gig of ram to show you on screen when you press caps lock, check driver updates and try to upsell you on extended warranty)

At idle the machine was as loud as a jet, with crystal disk mark always complaining "the nvme drive is over 65°C!!" (I'm guessing from the constant swapping)

Battery life was a disaster, 2 hours at idle with no foreground apps open

I thought that it was the CPU too slow for my use and the RAM not enough, so I was planning to spend some hundreds of euro to buy a new laptop with at least 16gb of RAM.

Then I installed cachyos and because I'm masochist I chose hyprland at the "easy" install screen that asks you which of the 19 available DE you prefer.

After a week of suffering trying to understand all the text configuration files for everything (it was a shock, everything needs the terminal) I'm now getting used to it and... It's like I got a brand new laptop??!?

Memory: clean boot now obviously is reversed situation. I don't have only 800mb of free RAM, the whole system uses only 800mb

Temperatures: by default cachyos is set to show the CPU temperature on waybar, and it's always around 40-45° C. The fan is way quieter. At idle they can even stop, before they were like a hair dryer even after a clean boot

Battery life: astounding. I can't believe that I can use it for a whole afternoon. Accidentally fell asleep and when I came back after two hours it lost only 10% (on idle, screen turn off automatically)

Gaming performance: tried only with casual games but with something like tinytopia I get 60fps on ultra when on windows it was choppy on high

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video discusses Peter Thiel's interview where he hesitates when asked if the human race should continue, and Glenn's reaction to Thiel's views on transhumanism, AI, and the potential dangers of unchecked billionaire influence.

Key Points:

  • Thiel's Hesitation: The video starts by referencing Peter Thiel's interview where he seemed uncertain about whether humanity should continue.
  • Transhumanism and AI: The discussion explores the transhumanist philosophy prevalent in Silicon Valley, focusing on merging humans with technology and AI, as exemplified by Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants.
  • Autism and Conformity: Glenn discusses Thiel's perspective on autism, suggesting that it can provide a detachment from societal norms, fostering innovation.
  • Billionaire Culture: A significant portion of the video critiques the culture of Silicon Valley billionaires, arguing that their wealth and power, combined with constant flattery, can lead to detachment from reality, dangerous levels of self-confidence, and utopian/dystopian visions for society.
  • Essentialism vs. Nihilism: The video touches on the philosophical implications of transhumanism, contrasting it with essentialist views of humanity and raising concerns about the potential destruction of what it means to be human.
  • Lack of Debate: Glenn expresses concern about the lack of societal debate and safeguards surrounding the rapid advancement of AI, driven by billionaires with unchecked power.

Highlights:

  • Glenn's concern about billionaires' ability to reshape society without proper debate due to their wealth and perceived brilliance.
  • The discussion of Thiel's autism and how it might influence his unconventional thinking.
  • The comparison of mind-altering drugs to autism as a means of achieving transcendent thought.
  • The critique of Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants and the potential implications for humanity.

Today, after decrypting my encrypted drive, the system failed to boot into it.

I forget what the error said. It maybe said that it could not fine new_root or something.

I tried something like the following, by I don't know what it does.

cryptsetup reencrypt --decrypt --header new_file device_path

I'm not sure what it does and what the --header part does. It was taking too long, so interrupted with a reboot. Now its saying their device is not a valid LUKS device.

[CH] Franzosen dürfen in Porrentruy JU nicht mehr in die Badi – schon wieder

#Europa macht dicht.

In einer Gemeinde im Jura dürfen Ausländer (korrekt: Personen ohne Wohnsitz oder Arbeitsplatz in der #Schweiz) nicht mehr ins Schwimmbad.

Die Franzosen würden sich angeblich zu schlecht benehmen.

Fair. Again Jews aren't some boogeymen. We bleed the same as everyone else. For a people that make up ~0.5% of the worlds population we really had to put up with stupid motherfuckers and their inane bullshit. Some people are really thick as pigshit.

Again yes I'm calling the nazis thick as pigshite. Murderous they were, but you cannot deny their reasoning makes them look stupid as fuck.

@ewo Genuine genetic sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob perhaps, but you've got a bunch of Babalonian worshipers of Baal, Marduk and the line that came to Germany years back, still practicing child sacrifice that given the choice between changing religions and being beheaded changed religions, and what better way to continue exploiting the natives than to claim to be God's Chosen. As near as I can tell psychopathy seems to be a genetic feature of that lot.

I'm drunk as a skunk so I don't quite see your point but aye

I'm half jewish, I've been all over Israel, what is going on there saddens me so much, to see my Jewish ancestors to escape the holocaust and then to do things like this... Again any self respecting Jew would reject this completely.

Jews =/= Israel

Israel =/= Jews

Criticising Israel =/= Anti-Semitic

And Netanyahu is a fucking war criminal. He deserves to be hung. I hope he gets the Gaddafi treatment

@ewo We agree on pretty much all of the above, I apologize that my statements were pretty much overly broad. Tend to focus on what is getting attention at the moment. I am not at all happy with the leaders of my own country. I voted for Trump because he claimed to be the President of peace, then he pulls this. I know the DemonRats are warmongers and virtually no other party has a chance so clearly votes won't resolve this situation.

Just beforehand I'm not religious but I am part-Jewish and it's totally okay to call Netanyahu a warmongering facist prick who should rot in jail, because that's what he is. That's just common sense, which apparently a lot of the world is fucking lacking right now (excuse my French)

^^ if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and all...

You have nothing to apologize for, we are all on this planet together and everyone is allowed to have an opinion. Again yeah, well, Trump is a snake oil salesman. We have our own party in the UK called Reform who are aligned and do exactly the same.

They promise everything but give nothing. In the immortal words of JRR Tolkien, "evil cannot create. It only corrupts". Which is exactly what these morally bankrupt fuckers are doing.

@ewo I thought he did ok in the first term, there were some minor skirmishes but nothing on this scale and a lot less than Byedone, but this time around not so well, but perhaps that goes with being a lame duck. He can't be elected again so might as well piss away every penny of political capital that he had. But really I see the problem in this nation as more systematic than personal. As long as you got a big industry making a lot of money killing people, the killing will continue.

Preventing Asian Citrus Psysllid

I have a small lemon tree that was bought from a local grower and came with the extra bonus of an Asian Citrus Psysllid infestation. The tree is dead now and I'd love to get a new tree, but want to make sure I've done everything I could to prevent a new tree from getting infested by any Psysllid still in the area.

Is there anything I can do to treat my soil or surrounding plants to make sure those little buggers aren't going to keep coming back? I'm in California where the sale of IMIDACLOPRID products is banned, which was previously the primary treatment for this.

In all seriousness, you need to contact your local university agriculture extension. Like right now.

This is a huge problem this generated from unlicensed growers, and they are shipping this all over the country, causing massive outbreaks.

Unless you live in an area with an abundance of Mantids or Wasps, I don't think there are any other means of control aside from harsh pesticides.

Call your local extension immediately, tell them where you got it, and have them come visit to treat if necessary.
