What, that humans are freakishly good at throwing things, or that aliens don't have the ability to throw things?

In addition to our ability to throw shit, humans also have some of the best endurance that mammals have to offer. An example of this is the Human V Horse race in Wales. The race is a 22-mile / 35-kilometer marathon that takes place in mountainous terrain. Normally, a horse would beat a human in a race without a problem. But in a marathon, humans actually stand a chance with an occasional victor in this specific annual race. All due to our exceptional endurance.

Put the projectiles and endurance together, and we make for a terrifying hunter. Imagine you're some other animal out in the wild. Maybe you're really fast or really strong. But if a determined human really wants to try and kill you, there's no out-running it. It'll catch up eventually. And if you choose to fight the human, they'll get the first blow.

Destiny 2 comes to mind. Bungie has indicated there's 0 interest in making it compatible with Linux ever.

Usually if it can't run on Linux it's because of kernel level anti-cheat. The vast majority of Steam's library works out of the box with Proton nowadays.

I love the little mine'd out storage areas. I've never thought of that before, and it looks very space efficient.

Trumpโ€™s speech will be limited to protect trial, witnesses, judge says (www.washingtonpost.com)

The U.S. judge overseeing Donald Trumpโ€™s prosecution for allegedly criminally conspiring to overturn Joe Bidenโ€™s election victory said that while every American has a First Amendment right to free speech, it is โ€œnot absoluteโ€ and that even the former presidentโ€™s campaign statements must yield to protecting the...

I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment, but everyone is always quick to point out the flaws in the Middle East, and they never bring up the world's largest Muslim county. In Indonesia, Atheists would be prosecuted under their blasphemy laws. Things don't always need to be so unstable as the Middle East for religious extremists to deny our right to exist.

It looks like the previous dev diary is tackling some of the worst aspects of the warfare system. Patch 1.4 is going to address convoy raiding, and patch 1.5's open beta (which releases at the same time as 1.4) is going to look into merging frontlines. Plus the addition of new diplomatic sways, reverse-sways, and some changed behavior regarding imperialistic AI, it's all looking like some excellent changes are coming down the pipeline.

These changes are really needed too. I want to love Victoria 3, but imho it just feels like it came out a full year too early. Too many things getting in the way of the satisfying economic sim they managed to build. Hopefully 1.4 and 1.5 aren't too far away, and they're successful.

I've been spamming explosive IEDs around my colony this time around. While it's annoying to see 30 steel and chemfuel go up in smoke when a manhunting hare decides to run over one, the hilarious logs that I get are totally worth it.

If you're doing a P2P related activity over a VPN (or otherwise), port forwarding is very important for improving speed or enabling the service at all. That's because your router blocks incoming traffic from certain ports by default, ports that will be used with a P2P connection. To get around this, you can 'forward' a port that can be used for said P2P activity, letting your router know that the traffic you expect to see from a specific port should be let through.

You can simply leave port forwarding to your personal router, but if you want to stay anonymous while participating in P2P connections, then you'll want to use a VPN service. If a VPN service doesn't utilize port forwarding, then any P2P connections you use will either be straight up impossible, or very slow. For example, you wanted to host a gaming server without giving away your actual IP address, then a VPN with port forwarding is desirable. The same can be said for torrenting.

VPNS with port forwarding matter if you want to stay anonymous while using P2P services.

Logitech Now Goes To A random website in order to add peripherals to a PC

As if it wasnโ€™t bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they are also stopping Firefox users from accessing it. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as Iโ€™m not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my...

I second Solaar. It was very effortless to get my mouse and keyboard working with it.

What would society look like if most people were autistic? (lemmy.world)

Oh man. I would love to live somewhere that would allow for things to get properly dark without having to put a lot of effort into it. It's just so damn bright outside all the time.

A well-written and thought-provoking post. I've already seen some discussion in the comments that highlighted some of my thoughts, so I'll avoid being redundant and will just say thanks for this contribution. I really hope this is kind of discussion is reflective of this community going forward.

That's a new hell-on-eath I wasn't aware of. Yikes.

Steam On Linux Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS (www.phoronix.com)

According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! Thatโ€™s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most monthsโ€ฆ Itโ€™s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2%...

I don't think so. Maybe I'm misunderstood, but the "I use Arch" meme was meming on the fact that using Arch was a flex, like it's harder to get into, and you're a true blooded Linux user if you're using Arch.

Whereas, Pop_OS is kind of the opposite. I'm fairly new to Linux (been using a Linux system as my daily driver for about a year), and Pop_OS was recommended as a beginner-friendly distro. Plus, it worked well with Nvidia cards with minimal effort. So maybe it seems like a lot of people are using Pop_OS and are bringing it up, because there are a lot of newer Linux users.

Hmmm, after some quick googling, it looks like it could be a client side issue. I'm getting a 400 Bad Request ngix error. I tried clearing my cache and loading it in a private window to no avail. I'm on Firefox.

The other gifs from gifer.com work fine, so I'd say it's not a big issue. Just kinda strange.
