    Jump

  • I prefer Burger King over most restaurants.

    I'm probably going to order a burger anyways so I don't see the need to pay extra for a fancy one that I need a knife and fork to eat when I can get just as tasty burger from BK.

  • The most well known meteorologist in Finland is named Pekka Pouta which roughly translates to Peter Fair-Weather

  • Steam not launching games - no idea what to do [Solved]

    Jump

  • Sorry! Just in case this came out rude or judgy. It’s just a bit rare that ones’ library is so empty. It was just a thought because mine looks similar when I don’t activate Proton.

    No worries. I feel the same way when I see someone have a huge list of games on Steam. I don't understand how they have time to learn and play all those games. For me it's always been that I find one game I like and then only play that for several years.

    Ironically Arma 2 is my first ever game downloaded on Steam as DayZ used to be mod for that one before the standalone version came out and I'm still playing it over 10 years later. Applies to Age of Empires 2 that's on the list too. I've been playing it since 1999 and I still do every now and then. Whose got time for new games when old ones still keeps on giving haha

  • Do you really have this few games in your library?

    Yes. I don't play anything else except DayZ currently.

    Second, if you are already using Proton and my first guess is wrong, use another Proton version.

    Yeah I had all this enabled. The game worked perfectly before and then just all of a sudden stopped launching. I tired Proton 8 and 7 aswell but no difference.

    What distro are you using?

    Ubuntu

    Did you try using Flatpak instead of the native package?

    I was using the snap version of Steam that I had installed from Ubuntu App Store. I uninstalled it and installed the native version using terminal. Obviously I had to re-download and re-install the game aswell and it started working again after that. I'm not entirely sure what was causing the issue in the first place but I'm suspecting it was an issue in the steam app itself. What is curious though is that the exactly same issue occured to me previously with Windows 7 aswell and judging by the reports online, I'm not the only one.

    The problem is however solved - atleast for now, and that's the most important thing. Thanks for the help though! The assistance I got from this community is invaluable. I'd be completely stuck with this on my own.

  • The Mighty Cybertruck Keeps Getting Stuck in the Snow

    Jump

  • Weight alone doesn't help. It matters where the weight is. On a rear wheel drive vehicle it absolutely does help with traction and handling if you add more weight on the rear axle. People have been hauling sandbags on their truck beds/trunks in the winter for ages for a good reason.

  • The Mighty Cybertruck Keeps Getting Stuck in the Snow

    Jump

  • They do but the tires are specifically made for Cybertruck and the hubcaps lock in with the tire. If you buy a different set of tires they fit the wheels just fine but the hubcaps no longer do. It just affect aesthetics and probably aerodynamics.

  • Huh.. That's interesting. My Nissan Navara (Frontier) weights 4400lbs despite being half the size of an F-150.

    Jump

  • If you're getting a separate set of winter tires you're going to need another set of wheels anyway. I mean you could have them switched to the same wheels and be rebalanced twice a year but I don't know anyone who does that. Here everyone simply just has two sets of wheels.

  • Good “Buy for Life” Brands

  • For hiking and camping gear: Savotta

    If you're not from Finland you've probably never heard of them but I'm yet to buy one product from them I'm not satisfied with. They make gear for the Finnish defence forces aswell.

  • Shoutout to Knipex aswell, especially the Cobra pliers. Costs an arm and a leg but you probably don't ever need to buy another pair.

  • OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material

    Jump

  • That sucks for the creators ofcourse but if AI creates better content that's where people will go. That's a big if though especially in the near future

  • China's capitalist reforms are said to have moved 800 million out of extreme poverty. Data suggest the opposite

    Jump

  • I don't hear anyone making that claim. If 40 years ago say 30% of your population could barely afford food and today it's only 5% it still very much sucks for that 5% but it's still objectively better for there to be less super poor people than before.

  • OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material

    Jump

  • There's not a musician that havent heard other songs before. Not a painter that haven't seen other painting. No comedian that haven't heard jokes. No writer that haven't read books.

    AI haters are not applying the same standards to humans that they do to generative AI. Obviously this is not to say that AI can't plagiarize. If it's spitting out sentences that are direct quotes from an article someone wrote before and doesn't disclose the source then yeah that is an issue. There's however a limit after which the output differs enough from the input that you can't claim it's stealing even if perfectly mimics the style of someone else.

    Just because DallE creates pictures that have getty images watermark on them it doesn't mean the picture itself is a direct copy from their database. If anything it's the use of the logo that's the issue. Not the picture.

  • What's the best way to read a book in a dark room?

    Jump

  • That's not why the light is red lol

    Red light doesn't mess up your night vision. With a red light you can turn it off and still see as long as there's some ambient light such as moonlight. With white light you need to wait for 10 to 15 minutes for your eyes to get accustomed to the darkness.

  • Steam not launching games - no idea what to do [Solved]

  • I wonder if this command would clear out the remaining files from the snap install that appears to have been left behind? Since the game is now working I'm afraid to tweak anything more so that I don't mess it up again
