I didn’t say it was HL3. I replied to a post implying the series hasn’t had an update in 20 years.

It’d be like a Star Wars fan wondering why there’s buzz about the movie coming out next year despite it being 42 years since Return of the Jedi. And the answer is that even if that’s the last one that particular fan personally cared about, there has been Star Wars media since then.

Also, Alyx did resolve the HL2E2 ending. It didn’t add a whole lot on past that, but the cliffhanger was very much addressed.

They’re trying Google Glass again?

That cliffhanger got addressed in Half-Life: Alyx. And replaced with a different cliffhanger.

Half-Life: Alyx came out 5 years ago…

I remember on a browser-based multiplayer game in the early 2000s, the vets would tell annoying or cheating newbies that they were using the “CTRL+WIN” to see their moves. Of course, as soon as they hit CTRL+W…

Ah. I haven’t switched to Wayland yet so I wasn’t aware of that issue.

There’s also the unofficial flatpak, which works rather well.

I’m running mine in Alpine.

Google search has sucked for a couple years now. DuckDuckGo is better for everything except maps.

Not everything you see in a paper is automatically science, and not every person involved is a scientist.

That picture is a diagram, not science. It was made by a writer, specifically a columnist for Medium.com, not a scientist. It was cited by a professor who, by looking at his bio, was probably not a scientist. You would know this if you followed the citation trail of the article you posted.

You’re citing an image from a pop culture blog and are calling it science, which suggests you don’t actually know what you’re posting, you just found some diagram that you thought looked good despite some pretty glaring flaws and are repeatedly posting it as if it’s gospel.

What is this nonsense Euler diagram? Emotion can intersect with consciousness, but emotion is also a subset of consciousness but emotion also never contains emotion? Intelligence does overlap at all with sentience, sapience, or emotion? Intelligence isn’t related at all to thought, knowledge, or judgement?

Did AI generate this?

So prior to Win 7 or so, Ctrl+Alt+Del brought up the task manager. Now it brings up a lock screen from which you can select additional options.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc pulls up the task manager, like it did back when you learned it.

Why not Ctrl+Shift+Esc?

Having an open mind is great and all, but once you’ve gathered enough information to take a position you’re not obligated to coddle those who remain willfully ignorant. I’ve personally never found astrology “fun,” it’s stupid woo that encourages people to adopt other stupid woo. At a time when anti-intellectualism is being institutionalized into government policy (in the US at least,) I don’t see how anyone in good faith can actively encourage that.

Yep, back in the 90s they were in some places. My local supermarket had one like this, except without the annoying ad on the left side.

That wasn’t so much a “fact” told in school as it was a prediction, and it was true for them. Some people carried pocket calculators, but most people didn’t. Some supermarkets has calculators built into their carts, but most didn’t.

Failing to predict society’s norms in 20 years isn’t the same as teaching a false fact.
