Agreed, I was the guy making that point in the first place.
Smokers are victims of marketing.
Everybody needs love, if only from themselves.
I made a similar point in that if you look for hate, you can end up finding it even when it isn't there.
But this argument is weird:
Quite often trans people feel they have to showcase their sexuality, instead of just chilling and being cool with it like everyone else.
That type of "often" is an illusion, since you can't know how large the group of people that don't make themselves obvious is.
And plenty of straight cis people engage in the exact same behaviour, broadcasting their sexual identity. It's not something everyone wants to do, but it's absolutely something everyone gets to do.
But not always. I'm absolutely behind the point you're making about some people, but if someone wants you dead, it's usually not subtle.
I've met people who use this logic to turn absolutely vicious towards people who have otherwise shown nothing but kindness.
Smoking is an instant nope for me, and for that I've had some girls react like I think smoking makes a person abhorrent and undeserving of love.
(No, I'm not saying trans people can "quit" being trans the way smokers can quit smoking. Just saying that even if a piece of logic is valid, it should be applied with care.)
Separate root fs makes it easier for timeshift.
How? I use timeshift. I don't see what you mean.
Also makes it easy to install another distro and pick up where you left off with the old home.
Sure, but how often do you distrohop? Not worth the trouble to have to potentielly mess with partitions during everyday use.
When I do reinstall, I've just copied my home folder over to a secondary drive, then back again.
If you alocate 50-60 GB for system it should be ok.
That's the entire boot drive on some of my machines. Not to mention that I have gone well beyond that for root on some systems. You just can't know the numbers in advance, and when you want to just use a system for something, it's really annoying to have extra steps.
Making home a separate partition makes it really hard to use the full capacity of the drive, should you need to. Which people do need to do sometimes, even if only temporarily.
Doing this might make sense if you have terabytes of storage to throw around, enough to never fill any of your volumes. It has benefits, but not enough to make it good advice across the board, which is why I question it.
Good writeup.
But why separate /home?
I get that it makes it easy to just grab the home partition in full, but grabbing just your own home folder isn't any more difficult than grabbing a home partition.
And it makes it really fucking annoying to manage storage between / and /home. You have to pick how much disk space you want for your own things and how much you want for installing things, and changing it later is a giant PIA. The one time I did it I kept running out of space on one or the other.
I've been buying the base-game ON launch day for a several years now for any games I've wanted to play ASAP.
Obviously if pre-ordering comes with pre-loading the game, that can be advantageous for some players, but with gigabit fibre I downloaded Forbidden West on PC in half an hour. And even with pre-loading, you could be buying a day or two in advance, not a year like I've seen some friends do.
Buying as late as possible, and hovering you finger over the refund option for the first two hours, you don't really miss out on anything. I don't think pre-order bonuses and such have ever been anything worthwhile. And any future content is something you can spend on when it comes out, IF you're still down to play more of the game.
It's kinda sickening how common it's become for special editions to just be pre-orders for content that doesn't exist yet, and 50% of the time it gets produced with 25% of the effort of the base game.
MAU is currently at about 45k, up from the low point of about 30k six months ago. The exodus spike subsided over a long time but now that users that didn't stick have been shed, you can see the user base growing again, though slowly.
Oh cool. I'd been missing the dynamic split-screen from Divinity 2.
The way it works is supposed to anonymously allow the measuring of advertising performance. Which ads do well with which kinds of users. Instead of tracking each individual user this tracks context, meaning what site the ad was seen on etc. Thereby providing a way to know what kinds of ads work with what kinds of users without profiling every individual in the world.
That is what it's supposed to do. Data still goes to an allegedly "trusted third party" (let's encrypt, apparently) which then does this anonymization.
The idea is a lot less egregious, but it's still only a good idea assuming you agree ads would be a good and ethical way to make the internet go round, if only they weren't profiling everyone. I don't.
It would be nice if games didn't maliciously try to put hooks into players at every turn. But you can learn to balance it.
I have a Dojo with just my group of friends. We build it out with just what we need to progress. We play for like a month every few years, when the itch hits.
