Killzone on PS2 was the first game I played that wasn’t inverted and it took me several hours to figure out why aiming was so hard

If you just imagine that the right stick is their neck you don’t need to postulate a Parasaurolophus horn

I care more about the vertical inversion than the horizontal one. Not certain why. Have played with horizontal inversion on before and it didn’t bother me much after a minute or two.

Her name is Jeanie though, which I’d pronounce differently to Jenny… unless it’s one of those awful new age spellings of a classic name.

Fwiw Jennifer is a fine name and people can figure out the best way to shorten it for their circumstances. Maybe living in a rural community with a lot of donkeys would affect it.

Yes, both of those and their sequels - Future Perfect and Perfect Dark - were by far the most played FPS games for me as a kid.

It’s more like the analogue stick is representing your characters neck. IRL you pull your neck down to look up, and vice versa.

Not a baby name but I worked with a devops engineer who had dyslexia so all of our IaC variable names had misspellings in them. We just lived with it because it would have been expensive to teardown the resources and reprovision them with the correct spellings.

You pretty much need networkmanager for eduroam. If you are a wpa_supplicant enthusiast you need to swallow your pride. Otherwise no issues with using linux for higher education.

Learning Latex for your dissertation will make referencing easier, as an aside.

I think they deliberately mess with the formatting text in exported to “word doc” format files from LibreOffice too.

It’s very good but M$ make every attempt to avoid making it interoperable with Word

There’s no drama like FOSS drama.

Agree with the other comments here saying that not everything in life should be viewed through the prism of politics. Civilised society is comprised of people putting their differences aside to work together on various endeavours.

Is there not some kind of RMM software you could be using to install the same setup on all of them simultaneously? How about monitoring? Firewalls?

I’ll play the game for a while but if they litter my homedir then they are first on the chopping block when I’m looking to uninstall things and free up space.

I dislike having top-level directories in $HOME that aren’t storing media or documents. Some linux ports of games are awful for littering your homedir or Documents. Just lazy devs. Put it all in ~/.local please folks!

There is a separate kernel which is being written entirely in rust from scratch that might interest you. I’m not sure if this is the main one https://github.com/asterinas/asterinas but it is the first one that came up when I searched.

By the tone of your post you might just want to watch the world burn in which case I’d raise an issue in that repo saying “Rewrite in C++ for compatibility with wider variety of CPU archs” ;)

OpenRC works just fine on my PC

I find the Darwin approach to dynamic linking too restrictive. Sometimes there needs to be a new release which is not backwards compatible or you end up with Windows weirdness. It is also too restrictive on volunteer developers giving their time to open source.

At the same time, containerization where we throw every library - and the kitchen sink - at an executable to get it to run does not seem like progress to me. It’s like the meme where the dude is standing on a huge horizontal pile of ladders to look over a small wall.

At the moment you can choose to use a distro which follows a particular approach to this problem; one which enthuses its developers, giving some guarantee of long term support. This free market of distros that we have at the moment is ideal in my opinion.

Rule #1 never trust your users

Yes, I find that dude to be very disagreeable. He’s like everything that haters claim Linus Torvalds is - but manifested IRL.

XFCE would be my choice too
