  • Dependencies for Steam

    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

    :: installing lib32-libjpeg-turbo (3.0.4-2) breaks dependency 'lib32-libjpeg' required by lib32-mjpegtools
    

    But in all honesty, I just can’t be bothered to fix it.

    My general tactic is to wait until things get fixed… has worked for many years, no longer it seems. Before this I also got bit by an nVidia/systemd issue (won’t always wake from suspend) that I did try to fix and updates didn’t help either so instead I just shut my computer down now.

    It also does not help that I have 6mb/s internet (shared with other people) thus cannot really update frequently (and thus not auto-update). This isn’t even my original install either, the re-install didn’t help as long as I hoped.

    I probably need to switch to something else, but packaging/updating always seems flawed. I tried Tumbleweed a while back, but was quickly annoyed by patterns and did not like the suggested work-around.

    TL;DR: It me








  • Yes, because of the over-the-top “personally traveled” bit… and it’d likely end with DMCA.

    Though looking at just one list of Nintendo’s mass takedown of free fan-games, it seems very likely* it directly resulted in many children being terribly upset (and maybe thinking they’ll be sued/jailed)… even if they made their own assets, just because they included a trademarked term in the title/description for something they just wanted to share with their friends. (I’m sure many did use assets, but we are likely talking about decades-old material here)

    So it’s not that big of a stretch, it’s just not guaranteed that we’d hear this much about it.

    *= judging by FNAF/sonic crossovers, content/spelling of titles, creepypasta stuff, and likely terrible art if you can still find more than a URL





  • Aside from a last resort, for what purpose?

    I would rather go the opposite direction: brain stays (mostly) stock but supported by multiple other forms of life. Much more of a gut microbiome, harmless viruses etc add to immune system, mycelium network, microbiome automatically cleans surface.

    Swap resources with a tree, filter contaminates from air/water or produce organic compounds, photosynthesis in larger tanks (stationary) or luminescence in organic gel (body).


  • That’d still just be a copy.

    And sounds like “I like the idea of ai, but I want something even less ethical.” Unless it is highly specialized to the point of non-sapience. “Existence? Look buddy, I cook and that’s it. I can contemplate the life cycles of ingredients and I do my best to have a safe kitchen, but beyond that I don’t have the information to think about it.”




  • That leaves out how public opinion changed after motive was known.

    The assassination brought the many social issues with the Unification Church under the spotlight again, as well as tumbled the approval of the ruling party. Under the public pressure, the responsible ministry decided to file a dissolution order against the UC with the Tokyo District Court on 13 October 2023, after nearly a year of investigation of wrongdoings

    Japanese people cosplaying Yamagami’s appearance during Abe’s assassination were spotted at events like the rally against Abe’s state funeral. These cosplayers held cardboard signs displaying the leaders they were against: Abe, Ali Khamenei, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping

    I have a similar issue… I have done slightly more than nothing, I really struggle trying to think of small projects that actually work for me.

    The few things I’ve done I stop at a certain point because I have no motivation for the actual content* or there are platform* issues. One thing I made was maybe usable but was likely too much** of a time sink for me.

    Though I keep trying other things hoping enough pieces fit that I can think of something.

    EDIT: I don’t know if it is any help but what I’ve mentioned were text formats+loaders.

    spoiler

    *=An adventure book (…if you go right, turn to page 100) reader (via declarative GTK framework). Using text files per page, allows linking to other pages (4 option IIRC, custom button name+description). Text was too small on buttons (no dynamic scaling), especially as I wanted to maybe use unicode 🔍

    **= Polygon reader for Raylib (via bindings). Using text files, some data lines at top then an ASCII grid with manually-ordered points (1-9, A-F etc, mostly blank space for simple shapes) to create a seq[Vector2]. Unsure on usage (what users would use+understand more) of polygons that need different vertex order, trianglestrips vs trianglefan. For usability, I was thinking of making an editor for it.

    I’m using Godot now and leaning more toward 3D (because vertex colors) and all I can really think of is maybe something like archery. Maybe a wizard boomer shooter, if that wasn’t such a high goal.
