I have some software running (behind cloudflare and results tailored to Brazil on SearXNG because of the brazilian IP):

  • From what I searched, cellulose from kelp is different from cellulose from trees, from a properties perspective, so it seems it only acts this way on land is because it’s on land. Maybe the need for a stronger material built trees for them to be the way they are, not having a need for a strong trunk can make an inpact on the evolutionary path of those beings.

    It could be that the environment primed trees to need this structure, while ocean beings never experienced the evolutionary force to build some structures in the same way.

    Idk, I’m not a biologist.

    Edit: So the chemical and physical environment not encouraging the evolutions teps needed for trees to form in the ocean.



  • Water pH (water in the ocean is alkalyne, different from the varied soils we can have), water dynamics and currents (whater moves, soils do not), temperature delta (the deeper it goes, there are different temperatures), source of nutrients (carbon cycle on the different soils we have vs the ocean nutrient cycles), sunlight availability (sunlight might change based on the particulates present on the ocean, in different seasons, etc, in a higher variation than above soil), etc. Ocean dynamics is very different than continental dynamics (or island dynamics).


  • So, I’m going to say what I saw specifically in these years. I’m arguing in a more nuanced approach to valve.

    For windows compatibility, my opinion is that in the late 2010s (Wine is the overall GOAT, but I’m talking about recent history), the main driver of linux gaming was dxvk, there was gallium for directx 9 but… It was not that good. Dxvk changed the game, the moment I bought a GT 1030 and ran GTA IV on linux (like this guy did 6 years ago), I was impressed, holy shit. Vulkan is low level enough that it can be an “easy” translation layer for any graphics API.

    Now we have d9vk, d7vk, vkd3d, etc, all based on that idea.

    Mono did this for all .net framework programs (or CLR based programs, if I’m remembering correctly). Gecko did this to Internet Explorer, etc.

    Then came Valve and integrated them all in a package called proton, then came the Steam Deck, a console on a muted Linux distro.

    To me, Valve absorbed the glory that came from dxvk. They did a good thing by integrating it all and paying the devs, which is a good thing, but at the end, people forgot what doitsujin did. Now it seems that they did some shady stuff to waydroid too…

    I’m not kidding, that guy (dxvk creator) deserves all the respect in the world.

    And then there is the gambling, Valve took CS:GO, Dota 2 and TF2 and turned them into polymarket. That’s a big no no. They improved the early lootbox and item market mechanics (in their favour) to what it is today.

    They helped enshittify gaming, they absorbed the attribution (even if helping, because let’s get real, they only built the bundle), but they sold a Linux console and helped pay some of the devs involved.

    Edit: wording




  • On the .desktop file, I don’t think it can load .desktop files, but it can load an .exe with a specified version of wine or proton, going to the + at the top left, then add manually an already installed game, then selecting the runner to be wine, select the path to the .exe, then select the wine version at the runner options, then you can create a desktop file with lutris.

    If you changed /etc/hosts, it might be that, about the receiving info from the server on this:

    002c:err:winediag:getaddrinfo Failed to resolve your host name IP
    0024:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION
    

    But the proton version might help as well (I didn’t understand the problem specifically)








  • It depends, if it’s a problem I’m trying to solve, if it’s a presentation that I’m going to do, if I need to communicate with someone. Like I thought about responding this, while trying to observe how it works.

    Normally there are a lot of monologues happening at the same time and I’m probably listening to music too, so I’m like 30 seconds thinking about something, pass to another something and then the good part of the music comes. I took ADHD meds once and damn, this completely disappeared hahahaha.

    But, depending on the thing, if it’s a concept I’m trying to tackle, normally it’s just me alone passing through it, its ramifications, consequences, basis, etc. If I’m trying to talk to someone, I like to imagine them and interact with myself playing as them. Sometimes it’s like yours, two of me separated from me “debating”.
