Thanks for your response. It's a shame this is a trend but perhaps fluxer will add that feature or it can be formed with one

Oooh. Thanks for the tip! I just tested it and it's great, other than being slow which is understandable. Is it internet searchable? Or a walled garden?

Any age, really. You can introduce the topic gradually through learning about biology. Pollination of plants, for example. Or bird mating rituals. At primary school, we had an egg incubator where we could watch the live growth of a chicken fetus. Make it clinical and normal rather than this forbidden mysterious thing.

High schoolers should definitely be taught about safe sex and disease prevention. Also, consent and how to deal with unwanted attention, or even what to do after rape, dealing with shame etc. Heck, talk about masturbation and how it effects the body and mind.

It all needs to be laid out on the table so, in the future, these kids grow up into well informed adults and we can forget about data harvesting for surveillance.

At this point, it's probably cheaper and more effective to have proper sex education in schools...

My friends tell me it's screen share that they want and why Mumble etc. won't cut it.

But China isn't a crony capitalist country like America. The money is set up to always favour the government over there.

Things are the way they are in places like America because the government exists because of the billionaires (bribery, lobbying etc). In places like China, the billionaires exist because of the government (surveillance, prison sentences etc). This is most likely because Xi is driven by ideology, not greed.

The only way for the billionaires to take over China at the moment is to come together and start their own army to go to war. No way that's going to happen because wars are a drain on capital.

The difference between Chinese billionaires and American billionaires is that the Chinese ones are owned by the government. To set up any company in China requires part government ownership of, I think, 15%.

There is no way the billionaires are calling the shots, ever, while Xi is in power. As if he would allow what's happening in America, happen in China.

Remember what happened to the CEO of Alibaba? Jack Ma? When he became rich enough to potentially take over the country?

Yep. I really really want Waterfox on IOS but I've settled for Qwant. It's not bad.

I'm constantly looking for a way to convert the entire office. At the moment, it's 'how to replace Revit' and I found Bonsai but the 2d drawing elements are still being developed. If anyone has any suggestions on BIM software that can use IFC files, I would be most thankful.

Other than that, I'll bet our IT company will advise against using Linux because they won't know how to use it.

I liked it but wish it had better multiplayer. My friends kept dropping out of the party and there wasn't much to do as part of a small group other than to collect corvette parts to make bigger (or smaller) outrageous ships.

Could be tempted to do the massive week long runs but... I just got back into BG3.

Hi. How's your day/evening been? Learn anything new today?

They gave root permission and proceeded to get rooted in return.

Does that phrase work?

 

I switched to a Linux Mint/Win11 dual boot system over the weekend and installed Unity from Flathub. Running Unity Hub is fine but when I try to login, it hangs with no errors. I can log into the asset store just fine, so nothing wrong with the credentials. I'd like to know what terminal commands I could use to see what it's actually doing and figure out why it hangs.

I really don't want to continue using it in Windows and only keep it to run work programs, and really need to use Unity for University.

Edit: Troubleshooted via the terminal, then uninstalled the .Deb package that I downloaded from the Unity website and then followed another tutorial from another part of their website with terminal commands. Managed to log in and run my projects.
