So what, we are locked inside a simulation which we can play?
Iโve been thinking about what kind of question I could ask GabeN by email and I recently came across this.
Could superbatteries be implemented in VR tech? If so, how long would a headset last if they worked on it?
Does what I say make sense?

I guess these โsuperbatteriesโ can be included in a VR setโs design, but that would depend on how accessible they are (assuming they cannot be recharged).
@hhyyrylainen Iโm asking you since youโre experienced with Linux. Recently, Iโve been thinking about how .deb (for Debian distros) or .rpm (for Red Hat distros) files are the Linux equivalent of .msi files on Windows. However, I remember seeing .aarch64 files, which are supposedly for Arch Linux distros like SteamOS 3.0. Unfortunately, whenever I search for this, it just keeps popping pages about AMD 64, Intel or how to install .deb files on Arch Linux. Am I a belgium or did such file extension really exist?

Usually for architecture specific packages (so for example a program might be compiled for x86, x86_64, and arm 64) the architecture is included in the name. So for example a hypothetical Thrive package for debian-based systems could be called thrive.x86_64.deb or thrive.aarch64.deb based on what CPU it is for.

When should we expect linux to surpass windows in popularity?
1 Like
it has.
thatโs obviously a misunderstanding of your question, you meant when will the laptop my tech illiterate friend gets be a macbook, a regular laptop with linux, or a regular laptop with windows, and theyโre asking you why the linux laptop is 20 dollars cheaper and the macbook is ungodly expensive instead of all their usually questions. You didnโt mean when will linux be the most used operating system, or even when will linux be more common than windows, because:
If you werenโt aware, the linux kernel is by far the most used kernel. Most servers run linux, most IoT devices run linux, and of course the elephant in the room, the most used operating system globally, Android, is just linux with the serial numbers filed off, i mean the kernel is literally linux, they just tricked it into doing some ridiculous things for some reason, so you have to root it to get it to act like linux again.

I see, so Linux really is the most popular OS if I understand correctly.

Yeah, it has been for a while Iโm pretty sure. To answer your actual question: โwhen will linux be a more common solution to the problems windows solves than windows isโ, Iโd say itโll be a while, basically just a question of if a steamOS type commercially developed, largely windows compatible, dumbed down Linux is made for productivity. Thatโs basically the same question as when will ubuntu ship with a well configured winetricks install, which is to say, I have no clue. Once we have one of those I think a few institutions would switch just for cost (enterprise editions of windows arenโt cheap), and then weโd get a general market fragmentation. I donโt think itโd go linux > everything, I think itโd go linux >= macOS. After than slowly windows looses market share, maybe windows 13 wonโt run well unless you have < 128 gb of ram but itโs shipping on machines with 72 gb, maybe windows on ARM will get comparably locked down as macOS without any of the benefits, I donโt know, I trust Microsoft to belgium up for me, and eventually windows wonโt be the major OS anymore. โ That whole paragraph is pure speculation, feel free to ignore it.

What has been going on with EE?
Yesterday I had my first interaction with JWs in four years. Below is an account of this somewhat bizarre experience:
[totally not a wall of text]
It began with an unexpected call on the entry phone. At first I thought it may have been a package, or a door-to-door salesman, but the moment I picked up the handset and heard the person on the other end start in a neutral-friendly, somewhat robotic voice with โDzieล dobry, nazywam siฤ pani Ewa [โฆ]โ[1], I just knew it was going to be JWs, as a typical wandering trader trying to sell me potatoes would begin a conversation completely differently. My expectation was quickly confirmed by her continuing with โ[โฆ] Oferujemy bezpลatne szkolenia biblijne [โฆ]โ[2] and going off on an almost minute-long litany advertising how great these Bible studies are and how they allow people to find answers to bothersome questions like โdoes God care about us?โ. After she finished, she asked me if Iโm interested, to which I responded with โNie, nie jestem zainteresowanyโ[3]. This resulted in an exchange of goodbyes, ending the conversation. However, just a few minutes later, I heard another call, and when I picked up, again I heard โDzieล dobry, nazywam siฤ pani Ewa. Oferujemy bezpลatne szkolenia biblijne [โฆ]โ[4]. โMrs. Evaโ continued to say exactly what she already said, just cut short. She used the exact same words, sentences, rhythm, tone of voice, and intonation. It was so eerily similar, that until she stopped just before delving into the topic of activities that can be conducted on the Bible studies, I was wondering whether I was listening to a pre-recorded message. The conversation ended similarly to the last one. After she asked me, if Iโm interested, I gave a negative response and reminded her that she already called us. To that, she apologized, saying that she made a mistake, then gave a goodbye, I responded with a goodbye, and the interaction truly over.
Sorry if the writing and phrasing here is somewhat awkward. I started to write this yesterday in a different mindset, now I donโt feel like rephrasing everything that I already wrote.
What does โEEโ stand for? I feel like I recognize an โEEโ logo from somewhere, but I canโt remember what it was.

EE stands for โElysian Eclipseโ, a โSpiritual Successorโ to Spore.

Thereโs literally JWs right outside where I am, Iโm at the library at my school doing homework and right outside is the โfree speech cornerโ (which is a very funny concept to me) where they park their old people to bug us. They have their signs about free Bible studies, I totally get the rehearsed, recorded sounding stuff. Theyโre not robotic in person or anything, theyโre human, full emotions and what not, but I swear their laughs are rehearsed and they never get unhappy about stuff.
This being thrive forums, I assume Elysian Eclipse
