Pulseaudio can remap channels directly, so you can take a 7.1 input and output two entire stereo outputs to a 7.1 speaker system, which would solve my issue and then some. Making a custom profile is a tad more involved than clicking buttons, but CLI isn’t needed at all.

I found a solution in under a minute that should work on most modern Linux DEs. I suppose it’s not by an official Linux support channel, but AskUbuntu was literally the first search result.

Ah, support as in “this program is supported”. I can definitely agree with that

better than any other platform out there when it comes to support

Lol, as a user Windows support is garbage. Every step is “restart, reinstall drivers, scannow”.

None of those things are going to make windows pass all LR audio to the FLR channels of a 5.1 system, yet I know it’s possible. It can happen if enough settings are fiddled with, but I don’t know which ones, and it gets reset every reboot.

None of those things are going to stop some system utility maxing out disk writing and freezing the system for 10 minutes every boot.

None of those things will stop hardware acceleration from crashing my browser.

• Lack of middle click paste.
• Lack of the ability to drag windows using “alt”.
• I can’t change the volume by using the scroll wheel.

These feel like DE specific complaints rather than Windows complaints. I wish I could use windowkey to switch applications for example.

Changing sliders with mouse wheel does sound cool, I want that.

Your last memory of Windows is 7? Lucky.

8 was Vista but with mobile UI.

10 eventually fixed 80% of 8’s problems, and added some gaming performance. Also, ads for featured windows store games. It’ll even preinstall them for you!

11 is just 10 but with most of the sensible parts removed. Also, you need DRM in your CPU to use it. UX? What’s that?

Sigh I miss 7…

How would they determine if the ad is played without trusting the client? I guess they could screw with the buffer, but that would really piss of people with poor internet, and most people would prefer an ad-length black screen to whatever attention wrenching dark pattern manipulative brown noise wants to infect your mind today.

Not to mention that Vanced-type apps and content mirrors are still going strong, and proper alternative platforms like Grayjay and Nebula are getting more attractive.

I wonder how soon self-hosted video distribution will be feasible. Does ActivityPub support that yet?

It’s still a Pirelli neat table.

You underestimate how little people think when purchasing things. None of this would be a problem if everyone looked at the price per 100g first, but ooo 3 $5… And then the size reduction usually goes alongside a packaging change, like jumbo or family size; “New look, same great taste!”. It’s all a distraction, out of sight, out of mind and all that.

Also, the 330ml cans are taller, and because of the square-cube law they only need to be a little skinnier to be smaller. They’re also not usually displayed next to the normal 355ml cans. Out of sight…

Also, who is going to laude a big corp product for a logistics change in the first place? I barely see anyone complaining about shrinkflation for packaging reasons as it is. I’d see a better slack fill level on one product and think, “This must be old stock” or “This is the last time we’ll get bags this dense”.

Radioactive waste maybe. Fusion plants are likely to create irradiated parts that degrade quickly, similar to fission plants. Fusion fuel on the other hand, is gaseous, and likes to escape. Hydrogen is explosive, while helium-3 is just expensive.

Coal has caused more deaths this year than the entire history of nuclear anything has in total. This includes nuclear energy, nuclear research, nuclear medicine, nuclear irradiation (food storage), and too many orphan sources.

I don’t think it will. The large cost of a reactor will probably be shared, but fission plants don’t deal with plasma, magnets, hydrogen/helium storage, lasers, or capacitors. And we don’t even know the method by which a practical fusion plant will operate!

Like every other US government project ever built.

Eh, i wouldn’t call that freeform building and exploring. Rather unconstrained base building, sure, and open world exploration, but you can’t disassemble the boss dungeon and rebuild it as a boat in hell. You can’t automatically kill enemies in a pit of lava. There’s no getting lost in your own mess of tunnels. And no one is making a working GPU out of Pals.

Oh, they definitely go about everything differently, but it’s a relatively similar difference.

Like Chimpanzees and Aye Ayes. Both share the majority of their features, being primates, but they use them very differently.

Spinks has credited Minecraft as direct inspiration. Terraria was first released among the gobs and gobs of minecraft clones, yet it was obvious that Terraria wasn’t a clone.

As for “Full Release”, Terraria was first released as a fully working game, with it’s 1.0 being the first public release in May 2011. Minecraft 1.0.0 was November 2011. Minecraft’s first public release was Classic 0.0.11a in May 2009.

Sounds like FEZ, where the gameplay is in 2D, but you need to move in 3D.

Freeform building and exploring, crafting, survival, pixel art, endless gameplay. There and definitely a lot of similarities, especially compared to say CS:GO.

Oh, and don’t forget the insane modding communities.

They’re also incentivized to keep the same size packaging (both for logistical and public perveption reasons) and ship less product in those packages. People are willing to pay $6 for a big bag of chips, despite the big bag weighing 150g less than the normal bag 5 years ago.

They don’t get paid by the gram, they get paid by the bag. A bigger bag looks more impressive, and thus can be sold for more. Same for those tall skinny beverage cans. They look bigger than the regular cans, but are actually 25ml smaller, and yet go for a similar price.

This will continue until the price per gram is what people look for (emphasis on this at the point of sale would help), or the mass of each product is standardized. 50g, 100g, 200g, 350g, 500g, 750g, and whole kg sizes only, none of this 489g nonsense.

Specifically synthetic methane will be efficiently burned, and much of it will be burned outside the atmosphere, so it’s hardly a greenhouse risk.

Gonggong is named after a Chinese water god, and it does indeed have it’s own ice. It’s also red, covered in thiolins like Pluto, but even moreso. There’s also likely a thin methane exosphere, leaving methane frost on windows.

Gonggong is very far out, moving between 33 and 101 AU over it’s 554 year orbit. It orbits at a 30° inclination, so telescopes would pick up some interesting shots of the other planets poles.

The 1/30 g gravity is nothing special, plenty to jump around in, but enough to not fly away easily. It’s slightly flattened by it’s rotation, which is a nice 22 hours, much slower than other trans-neptunian bodies. This slow rotation is caused by tidal forces between it and it’s moon Xiangilu.

Xiangilu is named for Gonggong’s minister, a nine headed venomous snake monster. It orbits every 25 days, nearly exactly a month like Earth’s moon, but in an eccentric orbit, changing size throut the month. Gonggong has a polar orientation like Uranus as well, leaving Xiangilu a constant half-moon in the dim sky half the year. Sadly eclipses would be very rare.

The trip out there is rather long, but once there it seems quite unique and cozy.
