Damn, I’m excited! It’s a beautiful and unique experience, definitely one of my favorite games of all time.

I don’t even finish a 30 pack before expiration

The sun itself is its own energy source. The fusion reactions create energy, but as the elements get heavier and heavier, less energy is emitted. Depending on the size the star will either cool down, or explode violently (possibly forming a black hole). And probably many fates in-between I don’t know about :)

You can get energy from gravity by moving something closer to a gravity source, but realistically only to a limit. Gravity gets weaker as you get further away, so you can only get so fast from it before either hitting the object, or being too far to notice the pull.

Oh no, one of them is always going to roll off the tongue better than the other :(

I’m pretty sure that the Ublue Surface images are using that modified kernel, at least I don’t know what other initramfs they are loading, or why they would offer specific Surface builds and not include the biggest project for that specific purpose.

No, it’s not just about stalkers, it’s about harassment in general. But even if it were, even stalkers are still people and don’t work fundamentally different.

Feel free to show any research proving me wrong, but unless you find any, the reasonable position is “humans work the same on this topic as on others”.

I know, but it still didn’t fully remove it.

Sure, but it doesn’t have to be fully removed to have an effect.

The thing is that there really is no price, nor was there ever one. Your suggestion that you think there is demonstrates that the way blocking worked gave people dangerously wrong ideas.

Sorry, but you don’t get to redefine how humans work. There is a price, because friction reduces the likelihood of people following through. Removing that friction increases the likelihood of people following through. You might not want to believe this to be the case, but please read studies on the topic - it’s just how humans work. You don’t get to dismiss negative effects because you don’t believe in them.

/etc/ is not immutable, you can change whatever you want there. Unless your software is going against Linux standards, you won’t run into any issues here.

Universal Blue has special builds for Surface devices with modified kernels.

Twitter massively reduced visibility for logged-out users, so just logging out doesn’t help, you have to log into a different account. This additional fraction reduces the amount of harassment a lot. Not sure that being “more honest” is worth the price, especially when an info box could achieve the same without making harassment easier.

If I understand correctly, the PSN overlay is the main issue for Linux players. This is already shitty. But they are explicitly excluding part of their potential customer base because they expect the payoff from forcing the accounts to be bigger than that loss. That should make you worry what your data will be used for, because simple upselling hasn’t worked for other attempts at forcing additional logins - why should it work for Sony?

I see where you’re coming from, I used to hold the same perspective. But there were already a couple of “unrealistic” plot elements before that - like the gravitational anomalies in their house, or the conveniently-placed-and-magically-kept-open-and-large-enough wormhole, which doesn’t seem much less Deus ex machina than the tesseract at the end.

Maybe the biggest difference in perspective is in the “power of love” - I don’t think the plot is using that as a solution, that’s just Coopers interpretation. The solution is the tesseract created by the future humans, which isn’t that much more unrealistic than the wormhole. It was a unique and visually incredibly interesting interpretation of the supposed singularity at the center of a black hole, and sadly there’s probably no way we could ever even form theories on what that might look like.

In the end, I’m not sure there’s anything less unrealistic that could finish the plot, and I’m fine with the sci-fi elements. But that doesn’t make your view any less valid!

What do you mean with “love dimension”? Are you talking about the inside of the black hole? That was explained with the future humans constructing a space that Cooper could understand, navigate, and use to transmit the data necessary for human survival to his daughter. Love is what made his daughter believe in him and attempt to decode the message, but the space itself had nothing to do with love.

They are perfect to me 🥰

Nothing that happened in the movie could have been successful without love, it allowed humanity to do what shouldn’t have been possible.

To start off, I believe there was a very narrow path that led to humanities survival - kinda like that Doctor Strange scene in Infinity War. Had things happened differently (Cooper wasn’t the pilot, they didn’t go to the ice planet, Cooper didn’t sacrifice himself) humanity would have been doomed, and all those things happened due to love.

And only love is what allowed Cooper and his daughter to actually bridge time and space, because if she didn’t love him so much, she wouldn’t have attempted to decode the gravitational messages - she wouldn’t have believed this to be possible. But she did believe in him, and she did believe that he would still be out there and trying to save them.

None of the things they attempted would have worked without love, and none of them would have meant anything without love. In the end, the story is all about human connections driving us to attempt the impossible, and that’s a lot more powerful than some scientific MacGuffin could ever be.

I couldn’t disagree more!

I first saw it in a completely empty theater as a teen. The visuals are obviously amazing, and I really liked the story, until the last bit - back then I was annoyed that they suddenly jumped from scientific accuracy towards feelings and emotions.

It took me a long time to properly understand the metaphor and message, but now I love it all the more!

I didn’t say whether sports are a hack to our emotions or not, but it sure as shit isn’t made to make you aggressive.

Yes, and that’s different from everything around sports being made to make you aggressive.

I believe you misspelled Ki-Adi-Mundi

The part where sports events aren’t specifically made to elicit aggression?

The OP claimed that aggression caused by sports events is comparable to e.g. crying due to movies. Movies are specifically made to elicit crying. Sports events are not specifically made to elicit aggression. Which part is difficult for you to understand?
