How much is the speed drop from translation using Proton?

The speed drop is negative. That is, it’s often actually faster.

Yes, I know it doesn’t seem to make sense.

I remember when words like “study” and “research” actually had particular meanings…

There are people who study this shit in an academic setting.

Oh wow that’s a really stupid thing to say.

Hey if it’s good enough for the US federal government to use to kill scientific studies, then it’s good enough for them

You can also rebind it to any other button,

You can? How?

I swear that didn’t work like ~5 years ago on EndeavourOS, but there’s a solid chance I’m just misremembering.

It’s part of KDE Plasma and you cannot remove it completely. In my experience. You can kind of disable it in some ways. And block it in your firewall or whatever, but it’s part of the DE from what I understand.

Maybe it’s just the distros I’ve chosen.

Edit: well I’ve been on immutable for a handful of years now so maybe it’s on me. But I do remember it being annoying to remove on EndeavourOS as well but that was several years ago so maybe it’s better now

Seems good, I just wish they’d let you fucking remove it if you don’t want to use it. Of all of the apps to stop the end user from removing, the one that’s made specifically to communicate with outside devices…

I don’t like that.

These types of explanations always ring hollow to me.

Yeah sorry, I don’t think I could care less what was “acceptable” at the time. She’s a child. She looks like a child.

It’s the same shit with slavery. I’ve been told that Jesus never condemns slavery because “it was the culture at the time” (as if Jesus’ entire thing wasn’t being counterculture, but ok). I really do not fucking care. Slavery was the accepted culture in the US in the 1800s, I’d still find it objectively abhorrent and disgusting.

I loved it. Blew the first game out of the water. Found absolutely nothing about the narrative to be confusing and I’m not even sure how that would be possible.

Everyone was just pissed at the events of the beginning of the game (trying to avoid spoilers), but I honestly thought it was brilliant and an amazing way to keep the (far superior now) story going.

Joel was a piece of shit who deserved to die, it’s that simple. Even before his actions at the hospital and his murder of the only fucking doctor they had left. Even before he doomed the remains of humanity to save his “daughter”.

It really doesn’t matter that you played as him for 40 hours or whatever. In fact, that makes it even better imo.

I’m glad we got a great story about revenge and the endless cycle of violence over just another 40 hours of killing shit with Joel and Ellie.

I’m not sure how well that comparison holds, though, when there’s fragments of tech everywhere for survivors to tinker around with

You forgot:

• Annoying, juvenile humor that immediately gets old if you’re not 15 years old

I bet the ingredients are worse now too

After seeing a few videos of the machine myself, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget it.

Edit: Ohhh *Symbian 🙃

It’s 2026. Everything is owned by like 4 companies

I think it resets after 7 years, but I could be wrong and don’t know the specifics of how that works

I’m stuck in the first area of this game because I can’t stop myself from blowing my disguise so I can smash Italian fascists with lead pipes

Yeah same. For me, the alternate is to just not use YouTube so I usually give it a few tries with freetube before giving up

Hidden Fortress

Makes it even more annoying when some insane fascist shit happens IRL and people are like “omg it’s just like what Palpatine did” or whatever.

Like no dude, it’s like what fucking Adolf Hitler did
