I suppose I could write a custom script that runs sudo echo or something so it’s cached

Have tried using it this way though the glaring issue for me is that I have to type the password at the end rather than start, meaning I’ll start a rebuild, go for something else then it’ll time out on the sudo password

Does seem that way

I’m not sure real people can be compared to fictional in that way, as your friend has infinitely more character because he’s a real person

If you were to ask your friend what his favourite food is, or what his opinion on pineapple on pizza is, or what he has for a desktop wallpaper he’d have answers for all of those questions or a reason he doesn’t have an answer

If you were to take one of these hollow characters I’m talking about and ask them that question the answer would just be made up on the spot

If your friend showed up in a TV show for 5 minutes just as himself in a situation he would realistically be in I can guarantee he’d feel real and natural because he is a real person with a history

What does remote sudo actually do I thought it was meant to be for doing remote builds over ssh

The issue is the intention behind it, if the intention is comic relief they might not add much to the plot, but generally are still relevant in some way and make the film more entertaining

I’m not a huge fan of poorly fleshed out characters in general if they’ve got any amount of screen time

If they haven’t got much screen time and aren’t fleshed out it’s even worse if the one defining character trait they have is that they’re gay, black, trans, etc etc

Imagine if some adventurers go into a tavern, they talk to the generic hooded loner on their own in the corner, they give the adventurers the quest as usual and then for some reason mention that they’re vegan or something, no relevance to the story and it becomes kinda obvious to the viewer that they were only given that character trait to check a box

Kaos is one of the good examples I’ve seen recently sorry if I already mentioned it, there’s a trans character in the underworld who was part of a female only Amazon tribe and was thrown out and eventually killed for transitioning to male, but they don’t even mention any of that until he’s already been well established for a couple of episodes and they do it in enough detail that it doesn’t feel forced

I’m all for representation in media I should clarify I just want it to be done well, there are a fair few good examples but also a good number of bad ones

Background noise isn’t an issue for me, if there isn’t an unnatural amount of attention being drawn and the pace of the story isn’t interrupted that’s just adding interest

The problem lies for me when said character isn’t fleshed out in other ways and their only defining trait is that they’re x, or that they don’t give them any character flaws because they’re too afraid to offend that group. Results in a character that doesn’t feel natural to the story

It only feels shoe horned when they don’t write the character well.

There are a lot of cases where the person isn’t allowed to have any flaws or character development because they’re too scared to make them look bad in any way, which also means none of their achievements feel earned. Ohers where they just don’t care enough to waste screen time on things that aren’t highlighting whatever group they’re a part of

Have been a fair few shows I’ve seen where they’ve done it right, recently Kaos had a trans character who actually felt like a human being instead of a token “hey look we have a trans person”

The recent doctor who special is one of the bad examples, most of the time the woman in a wheelchair is onscreen it’s because they’re drawing attention to the wheelchair (oh no, a ladder, oh no a set of stairs etc etc) and not to develop her character in any way besides that

I wish all representation was done as well as when it was done out of creative choice rather than trying to win progressiveness points

nix flake update && sudo nixod-rebuild switch

I don’t think clientside anticheat is a good solution by any means.

Built in multiplayer cheats? Isn’t that just pay to win?

I think people misunderstood my comment, I meant I think the ddosers and the cheaters are more or less the same group. Don’t imagine the majority of people in the Linux community would think that’s a good way to get rockstar to listen

Cheating is absolutely not the same issue as piracy though, one is people wanting an unearned power trip over others and one is the service issue piracy is

You’re not gonna convince cheaters to stop cheating by offering them a better experience

That’s what I mean, I imagine most of the people ddosing are cheaters, hence the quotations around protesters

I’m pretty sure there’s not a valid reason for players to be able to spawn giant Ferris wheels in people’s garages, that seems like a fairly easy one to test for

I’m upset they nuked Linux support, my PC is Linux and have a steam deck

I’m still not going to fucking ddos them for it

They’re kinda proving rockstar’s point, I am fairly sure the venn diagram of “protesters” (ddosers) and cheaters is more or less a circle

I suppose if you really can’t stand to give them any information at all, don’t want to pay and don’t use ads your only choice is to not use the service

They provide a pretty good service all things considered and have to pay the bills for their servers somehow

This makes me glad not to be on the clock, I suck at remembering to do that stuff.

Though I tend to hyper focus on one thing for 4 or 5 hours at a time anyway

Not exactly what you’re asking for but you should look into tiling window managers, if I’m understanding correctly they do almost exactly what you want

For example on my laptop if I open Firefox it opens in full screen, if I open a terminal it resizes Firefox to half the screen and opens the terminal in the other half, a third and it splits whichever window I’m focused on vertically etc etc

You could achieve what you want by having the VMs in windowed mode and just using a tiling wm

You get the added bonus of virtual desktops that you can flick through with mouse buttons/keybinds/3 finger swipe if you want multiple layouts of different windows

Also I’ve not used it but I’m pretty sure hyprland has something called fake full screen where it tricks windows into thinking they’re full screen while actually being windowed

Which at the end of the day is your choice, as much as it’s theirs not to use foss tools like mastodon and peertube
