Dwarf Fortress.

This requires an Apple iPhone XR or newer, as the face scan utilizes the TrueDepth sensor.

I’d rather take a plaster mold of my face than have to use a specific phone to order a VR headset.

I’d like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.

Yes, this. Don’t put your whole home directory in git.

There’s https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/ for privacy, at least.

Chiming in to also recommend Gentoo. It’s a pretty stable rolling release distro, with access to pretty new packages when necessary.

Snaps just aren’t ready yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares I think? Don’t understand the quotes though.

Go for it then! Gentoo is a blast (if you enjoy this sort of thing) and is surprisingly stable once you get it set up.

One tip, before I forget, is to save your firmware from MacOS before wiping the drive. Unfortunately I don’t remember where it’s located, and no longer have access to try and find it 😅

You’ll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?

If it’s pre-2017, I’d expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it’s newer, you might have luck with https://wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/gentoo/installation/ . I haven’t followed that guide, so YMMV.

Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot expands to something like /home/username/boot.

/boot is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot is a directory in your home folder.

That said, there are cases of players noticing emergent behaviour in games! For example: https://twitter.com/JoelBurgess/status/1428008041887281157

I’m upvoting you, but I’m not happy about it.

A VPN does this, but for your internet connection:

It takes a lot of money, planning, and technical know-how to build a nuclear power plant, especially a safe one. It isn’t like a new nuclear company can just pop into existence, and start offering reactors for sale.

Traditional nuclear reactors are, therefore, a technology that requires a lot of centralization to implement. Only nation-states and huge corporations can assemble the resources to construct them.

Compare that to wind or hydro-electric power. You can build a generator with some wire and magnets yourself, so you could call them more decentralized.

This might be changing with modular reactors, I don’t know.

Germany has been anti-nuclear for some time, unfortunately. That could be what the above poster was referring to?

Eh, beamer is more than enough for most presentations. If your slideshow needs to be that flashy, you probably need more substance.

git puts track changes to shame.

You’re absolutely right about compatibility though.

It’s common when you “wrap” one file type inside another. Like .tar combines multiple files into one, then .gz compresses a single file.

You also see it with PGP (encryption).

Why not .tar.xz?
