  • 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…







  • I think transporting organic products is inevitable, unless you make a factory for each product next to the orchards. The orchards aren’t very dense either, so like real agriculture, we’ll probably need a lot of AgTowers to maintain a good throughput, so they can’t all be next to the factories.

    Even then, spoilable products are needed on other planet’s crafting trees, so space platform transport is required for something along the line.


  • Nauvis, Vulcanus, Fulgora, Gleba, and planet 5. I think that’s all of them, just the far dark planet we haven’t seen yet.

    I think new enemies are on the known planets as well, we just haven’t been introduced yet. Probably Gleba will have enemies. I’m terrified of what could survive on Vulcanus and Fulgora, maybe defence robots? And what biosphere could exists on a dark rock? Maybe whatever caused the Fulgora civilization to collapse?




  • To be entirely fair, Tesla has been working on technology that would amount to level 3, which has controversially been deployed publicly for several years now, but they haven’t requested official level 3 from the SAE. Point-to-point hands-off navigation was possible at one time in some places, but the technology hasn’t become reliable.

    Still a very far cry level 5. I think it’s an extension of the object recognition problem, where it seems easy but has eluded the industry for half a century. That compounded with EM’s radical confidence leads to undeliverable promises.

    Ah, typo. 1/3 ≠ 0.333…

    It is my opinion that repeating decimals cannot properly represent the values we use them for, and I would rather avoid them entirely (kinda like the meme).

    Besides, I have never disagreed with the math, just that we go about correcting people poorly. I have used some basic mathematical arguments to try and intimate how basic arithmetic is a limited system, but this has always been about solving the systemic problem of people getting caught by 0.999… = 1. Math proofs won’t add to this conversation, and I think are part of the issue.

    Is it possible to have a coversation about math without either fully agreeing or calling the other stupid? Must every argument about even the topic be backed up with proof (a sociological one in this case)? Or did you just want to feel superior?
