I have absolutely no idea. It’s an old meme. But since it’s hentai I think it is probably exactly what it sounds like.

Whatever works best for you. No distro is fundamentally better suited for gaming than others.

You are not dating Angelina Jolie because she doesn’t know you and is involved with someone else entirely. While looks might make for an easier first impression personality is much more important in the long run. Believe me, from one 1 to another.

I just don’t get why they didn’t think of quickly porting the Xbox interface over to desktop Windows. Should have been an easy fix to make handheld gaming on Windows more appealing.

Ah, that makes more sense.

I think the timing of this news coming so close after Valve announcing the SteamOS beta shows that Microsoft might actually be afraid.

Ah, the good old days of sshing into a family member’s computer and trolling them by constantly opening and closing the drive.

Of course it is very important to have the start button in an easy to reach location.

The problem with Steam Machines was that they were nothing but overpriced pre built PCs. And they usually shipped with Windows because only a handful of Steam games ran on Linux out of the box. That’s basically what birthed Valve’s investments into Proton.

I remember them investing into x86 emulation. I think the rumors suggested that it’s for Deckard, their next VR headset. If that is true it should be a short jump from there to phones.

Ubuntu is a South African word. I think it means together. So I think it’s actually highly likely that there is a band with that name.

And vice versa.

Long Covid and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis have noticeably lowered my IQ. It’s a terrible feeling to be more stupid and know that I normally could do better.

So give me intelligence every day. Physical attractiveness can only go so far.

I don’t like sand.

Probably because LTT isn’t loved very much. They give more pop tech tips than real ones. Maybe except when Emily is in front of the camera. Although she still seems to be pulling some strings in the background.

Help, halfway through folding my paper turned into nitrogen!

There is no such thing* as a UTF-8 file. It’s just text encoded in some way. It’s only a UTF-8 file if everything is encoded as UTF-8 which it’s evidently not.

You can even tell MySQL to export perfectly valid UTF-8 text encoded as ISO 8859-1 to import into a UTF-8 table without any troubles (maybe apart from stuff that could not be encoded in ISO 8859-1).

*Yes, technically there could be a BOM at the beginning but almost no tool uses that and most get confused by it. And it would still not force any data written to it to be UTF-8.

Encoding is hard. Especially when your data comes from web forms or CSV files. And MySQL needed three tries to get UTF-8 right and you need DB admins and often programmers as well who know this. So not everything MySQL calls UTF-8 actually is.

And often enough it took a long while for something to actually reach UTF-8 status. And idiots not converting the data leads to databases with a mixture of encodings.

My guess for Morrowind is that you use OpenMW.
