All jokes aside, good for you!

Because I pointed this out, yet you doubled (and later tripled) down on your interpretation, and you still haven’t edited your initial comment.

Sure, but OC didn’t give any indication that’s the case. They shared something very personal and made themselves vulnerable. You chose to interpret it as a political message (and if I may say, you interpreted it deliberately in a really unlikely way - especially this long after the pandemic, and consequently wearing masks, have been out of the publics mind) and responded in a very passive-aggressive way, instead of just asking. That’s a really shitty thing to do.

No, they most likely aren’t. Since they’re explicitly talking about “dropping their facade” and “finding their true self”, they’re most likely talking about autistic masking - you know, the kind of masking where you put on a facade and not behave like your true self.

At best your comments are unrelated rants, at worst you’re coming off like a real jerk right now.

Wait, no more blue-face blastoff? You stopped doing the strokey chokey? No more two-neck squeeze?

I’m pretty sure they weren’t talking about masks in the medical sense, so this is honestly a really inappropriate response.

I would not do this. The more you think about the ban and try to do something about it, the more it will be in the front of your mind. These kinds of problems only have as much power over you as you give them. I speak from experience here - this kind of spiral only makes your life harder, without giving you anything in return.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to laugh it off and recognize that it’s just a silly misunderstanding, and that you’ve learned from it.

You shouldn’t worry about that. It was a misunderstanding, you’ve learned from it and have grown. Believe me, nobody will ever consider it to say anything about your character - first because they won’t care about it, and second because they’ll understand that you were younger and have since grown.

Instead of considering it as a negative mark, see it as a learning opportunity and a reminder for the future. It’s only negative if you see it as such.

(different person here)

I can’t give a satisfying explanation, but I can really recommend 3Blue1Brown on YT for great motivations for such things. He presents these topics in ways that make you want to understand them. I’m not sure which videos approach imaginary numbers - there might be standalone ones, but it definitely comes up in his explanation of the Fourier transformation.

I’m sorry, that sucks. As cliche as it sounds, when I was stuck in a similar rut, the biggest positive influence was to try and go outside regularly. Even if it’s just walking through nature for a couple of minutes every other day, it really helped my energy levels and mood.

Stay strong! I hope you find something better.

No, that’s not true. All current models use output from previous models as part of their training data. You can’t solely rely on it, but that’s not strictly necessary.

That shit was fire! I learned a bunch of art stuff from it, often I’d make something based on what they show and give it to my grandparents. Awesome stuff.

Though this would have been much easier with streaming - back then I had to try and remember all the important details on first watch, which almost never worked!

It missed the final sentence

All “atomic” distros I’ve encountered allow booting into previous versions, so this is simply not an issue.

You are technically correct about “atomic” and “immutable”, but you’re missing that e.g. the Fedora images use the wording “atomic” to refer to their update procedure, and they implement this using an immutable system. Nobody here is misusing these terms, because they are both applicable in this context.

On a dev station, it’s a nightmare.

I’ve been very happy with it on my dev stations, definitely hasn’t been a nightmare!

Nah, I heavily disagree. It’s amazing for developers too, and they are explicitly part of the target demographic - not just of the normal variants, there’s even special developer-targeted images like Aurora.

I especially like the casual swipe at GNOME, they deserve it!

The people commenting the generic “now it’s brown and dull” are just lame. Its just hating to hate really.

Or they simply have fond memories of the graphical style of Oblivion, and are disappointed that it’s now more “realistic”? I don’t want realistic, I want Oblivion. It’s a fucking fantasy game.

People were all over this style when Skyrim released.

Sure, but we’re not in 2011, so why change the graphical style to fit opinions of that time?

Much like my opinion people don’t have to agree and if you like the way Oblivion looks now versus the graphical overhaul in the leaked screenshot well then the good news is you can still play the original Oblivion. I know, complete shocker.

I would love to play a remastered version that keeps the distinct graphical style I fondly remember. I know, a complete shocker.

Just say you don’t like something and move the fuck on.

I did, and you really didn’t like me saying that! I like Oblivion, I really like the graphical style. I don’t like that they are removing the graphical style and making it look like any generic action RPG. If you don’t like my comment, maybe move the fuck on?

But the unique colors and style of Oblivion are why I remember it kind of fondly. By losing that, it turns into generic RPG #5263…

Don’t ever make the mistake of giving your phone number to a US company. I did that when I started my new job and didn’t have a company phone number yet, since then I’ve been getting daily spam.
