Sushi is supposed to be bite-sized. In my experience this is not always the case in practice, but the idea is that you should just pop the whole thing in your mouth.

IMO the early game exploration rush is the best part. Anomalies and archaeological digs give that great Star Trek vibe that kind of goes away once everyone is settled into their borders.

I believe the g palatalizes the n, so it’s more like nyok-key.

Yeah, my mom used to work for an organization called ARC, which pointedly hasn’t been an acronym since the early '90s.

Wait, isn’t she druish?

In fairness, the first iteration of that deal was Pepsi for Stolichnaya.

On the other side [Wayland] is buggy af.

I’ve been having the exact opposite problem since recently coming back to Linux after a long hiatus. For me, Wayland has been flawless, while anything x11 looks like somebody ran the screen through a shredder, discarded half the strips, and smooshed the rest back together.

I don’t know how to troubleshoot that. I don’t even know what to type in a search engine to get relevant results.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.

I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.

First OS on a computer I personally owned? Windows 98. First Linux distro was Source Mage.

If not counting ownership, then Apple IIs at school and then slightly later my family got an Amstrad that was primarily a DOS machine, but could also boot (by switching floppies several times) to some sort of GUI.

The friggin’ cakes are turning the frogs gay!

Mediocre movie, best Daft Punk music video.

Go for the eyes, Boo!

I know this is too late for you, but something like this happened to me recently, so I’m writing for the sake of anyone who might find this thread in the future.

In my case it was because the NixOS installer had booted up in legacy/BIOS mode, so grub was in BIOS mode, and it can’t boot a UEFI OS (e.g. Windows 10) from that state.

In fact I couldn’t get the NixOS installer to boot in EFI mode at all. Odd, as both Windows and other distros work fine. Actual installed NixOS also works, it’s just the installer that fails.

So what I did was to boot a different distro’s live medium (EndeavourOS, but it shouldn’t matter) in EFI mode and did a manual NixOS install from there.

It probably also would have worked to just switch grub to EFI mode in the config, except I had also failed to clock that the new SSD I was installing to had an MBR partition table, so I had to nuke the original install to make it gpt anyway.

tl;dr: osprobe can find OSes on other drives just fine; what it can’t do is find an EFI bootloader while in legacy mode.

These were octagonal in my school.

This format is especially apropos, as Natalie Portman is one of a handful of actors with an Erdos number.

Ah yes, the number blåhaj.

On the other hand slavery of actual humans is a thing. And at least the first generation of strong AI will effectively be persons whom it is legal to own because our laws are human-centric.

Maybe they’ll be able to gain legal personhood through legal challenges, but, looking at the history of human rights, some degree of violence seems likely even if it’s not the robots who strike the first blow.

I don’t think I’ve ever had it straight, but clamato is pretty good in a michelada.
