I’m sarcastically referring to microsofts telemetry, UI changes, and anything else they try to sell that a lot of people simply don’t want or like.
Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

I’m on the Index. Afaik steamvr is the only thing that really works on linux.
Ah! A fellow beat saber enjoyer.

I’d argue that a lot of the other “additions” and “improvements” make any improvement in comfort irrelevant, as they are unbearable.
On a sidenote, you can set up a generic bottle in Bottles, and then set things up so that double clicking any miscellaneous .exe files just runs them in that bottle.
He is infamously eccentric. Maybe no-one ever set his talent aside for long enough to teach him manners. And it was probably too late to do that ages ago.
But he also has humanitarian ideas. Looking at the messages his movies convey, it’s clear to me he wishes people the best.
Yet he vilifies so much of the real world and the people in it. And it just feels like a refusal to even try to understand.
I know.
But that ain’t how you mentor someone.
And it’s not just his son.
The man denounces Lord of the Rings, and western culture in general:
(I am), anti-jeans, anti-bourbon, anti-burgers, anti-fried chicken, anti-cola, anti-American coffee, and anti-New York, anti-West Coast, Disneyland go back to America!
He’s known to feel disdain for people who embrace modern technology. He’s said people using touch-screens look like they are making “strange masturbation-like gestures”.
He’s admitted to getting “fed up” with seeing people read manga in public, even before smartphones existed.
The man seems incapable of giving constructive criticism, or just generally being pleasant. When commenting on the passing of Osamu Tezuka, the creator of Astro Boy and a formative figure for manga in general, he said:
I’m assuming there will be a loud chorus of other people mourning his passing, and I do not intend to add my voice to it.
He’s a genius. And obviously has profound thoughts and ideas about the world as the plot-lines of his movies illustrate.
But he also has a hateful streak which he doesn’t seem to even try controlling.
TBF he is a renowned asshole. He has publically called the work of his own son “an insult to life itself”.
Yeah, things aren’t clear-cut. There are several matters in which Japan is painfully behind, and being such a populus country you can find people with views across the board.
But a lax justice system isn’t one of them. In fact Japan almost certainly has a huge problem with ostracising and convicting the innocent. You might hear about people losing their jobs just for getting arrested, even if found innocent.
And while laws also definitely need improving, it’s happening.
The main problem with stuff like age of consent, is going to be communities and groups of people who are behind on these things, and thereby shielding individuals from justice by keeping the bad things happening out of earshot of society at large. Their justice system might be brutally ruthless, but that doesn’t help if it never finds out about the crime in the first place.
That’s a completely different conversion.
And you might want to check Japanese conviction rates before making assumptions. Their system is damn near “guilty until proven innocent”.
Now, whether such crimes actually get reported, is again, another, different conversation. There absolutely are vile predators over there, as a judge publicly commented he thought it was weird he could get arrested for banging a 14-year-old.
But the ensuing scandal is also the reason why that dude is no longer a judge, and why the national minimum finally got raised.
There isn’t one. They are repeating a technically kind-of-true funny ha-ha internet factoid.
The effective age of consent is higher, as prefectures all have local laws setting it to something sane, but people say it’s 13 because it was the old national minimum on record up until last year.
And that national law was literally from over a hundred years back, and was finally updated last year to raise the national minimum to 16. Still lower than the 18 in effect in places like Tokyo.
Not since last year, when it was raised to 16.
Even then that was the national minimum set over a hundred years ago.
In practice it’s 18 in most prefectures, and has been for years, due to local law setting it to something sane.
Well yeah, you’d still have the limitation that you can’t connect multiple devices at the same time. But the idea is that just like before, nothing is actually stopping you from having as many devices as you like ready to go, all able to be used one at a time.
I already commented on this, but do they actually block you from setting up multiple devices with the same key?
I’ve had my own server node for a while, there’s nothing stopping me from using the same key and config on multiple client devices, as long as I don’t connect them at the same time.
I’m not limited to five keys, obviously, but the keys aren’t device specific. I could set up just one on the server, and then use it everywhere.
Does Mullwad stop this in some way?
That’s a pity.
Is there something preventing you from having the same key ready for use on more than one device? So that two devices that are never connected at the same time can take turns using the same key?
TL;DR They are moving to wireguard only.
I’m ok with that.
Good.
Shitty cyclists suck. I ride my own bike every day, and I can’t get over how often I see someone riding among pedestrians, (often along a road clear of cars, or worse yet, along an actual bike lane right there).
I must have shouted “the bike lane is literally right here” as I go past people like this over a hundred times in my life.
It’s obvius to me that hitting someone with my bike would be horrible, yet I see people riding them all the time like it’s the same as lightly jogging.
There is also schedule.lemmings.world where you can schedule all kinds of stuff with your account, using a nice UI.
So… Is that kinda like a linux subsystem for windows?
