I’m curious, what AI features do you use and why? I can’t even figure out what one is supposed to do.

Yeah, no. Most members of most militaries haven’t directly killed anyone, even during wartime.

My ex-brother-in-law killed a family of four while DUI. The cops really screwed up the investigation so he was able to get the charges down to a minor moving violation. He never saw the inside of a jail.

When I was in high school a friend of a friend that I knew and had hung out with at a couple of times was a serial killer/rapist. He was one of the last people executed by that state.

Edit: My grandfather killed some Nazis in WW2. Several former coworkers killed people in the line of duty as soldiers. And, I worked as a records clerk at a nursing home, so I knew several doctors and nurses that had taken people off life support.

To be fair, he was almost certainly using Arabic numerals.

/s, obvs

My version is definitely wordier, but I like it.

add-alias() {
  if [[ -z "$1"  ||  -z "$2" ]]; then
    echo "Useage: add-alias <alias_name> \"<command_to_alias>\""
    return 1
  fi
  echo "alias $1='$2'" >> ~/.bash_aliases
  source ~/.bash_aliases
  echo "Alias '$1' for command '$2' added and sourced."
  
}

And, of course, the first thing I test it with is $ add-alias alias-add add-alias.

My 13 year old Thinkpad runs Linux great ‘cos Linux…

• Any 4X - Civ/Master of Orion/Endless Space
• BATTLETECH (2016)
• Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Kingmaker
• Shadowrun: Dragonslayer Dragonfall and Hong Kong

Well, except that without a pocket computer kids, and everyone really, will spend much less time on social media, getting notifications, seeing ads, and all of the other things that most phones push at their users.

Really, I think that headline applies to anyone, not just kids.

I love 1&2, but haven’t played any of the others. I’ve played some of The Dark Mod and it also has that same feeling.

Ive started a replay of BATTLETECH (2016), this time with all of the DLC. I need something turn based for now and this really scratches that itch. I love how good the gameplay is and the gritty graphics fit the setting so well.

The dev entry point changing like that means that it disconnected and then reconnected, which shouldn’t have anything to do with the specific file system on the drive. That really makes it sound like the drive isn’t getting quite enough power, which causes a brown out, which Linux detects as the drive getting unplugged and coming back, which is why it gets a new dev entry.

A look through the usb logs by using something like usbrip would confirm that.

Interesting. When you say that they show up as a different drive completely, do you mean that their UUIDs change, or that they get mounted at a different point?

Anyway, random disconnection sounds like a hardware issue, maybe a USB brownout, as much as anything else. What’s your connection setup, distro and kernel version?

My partner, who is a non-gamer loves WytchWood, which is a rather slow paced crafting and wander around the woods game in a fairy tale setting.

Eh? I’ve never had a problem with reading NTFS drives in linux, including USB sticks and SATA/USB adapters. Are you just wanting to read them or use them as read/write? Write is a bit more tricky, requiring ntfs-3g, but most reasonable distros come with that nowadays.

Mint. It’s a great, simple, well supported first distro. And last distro, TBH. I know plenty of people like to distro hop as a hobby, but if you just want to use your machine pick a well supported basic distro and stick with it. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora are all good options, but Mint is really aimed at newcomers.

Except, you know, for everyone that has an iRobot device that is going to lose connectivity soon.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to support anything from iRobot. I’m hoping that there will be a jailbreak made available before they go bankrupt, but I doubt it.

I mean, I’m pretty upset that I won’t be able to see a living pentaceratops, seismosaurus, or T-Rex. So, no, I think it’s fine.

I know you’re joking, and that would be enough to get me to buy one even though I don’t really have a use case for it.
