Cave in Europe Is Full of 110,000 Social Spiders Living in a Web City

I think the more interesting aspect was the conditions that allowed this to happen and how this was different to relevant instances of social behavior from other spiders.

Seems like there isnt much footage of the spiders available. https://apnews.com/article/science-spiders-cave-greece-albania-0787583c8638928d742127ab4ee09d31

This video is 1min long and shows a few extra close ups of the web

Its a fun little project and I like the little character but it doesnt actually do anything at this point.

My friends are excited and want to do a play through for the first time. I was super hyped but i realised it doesnt add or change anything so that killed my hype instantly. I really need AU servers to enjoy the game again. High ping just sucks so badly in gw1.

I just think 64 is to many bits.

Majority of linux users are on a monetized OS. Consultancy, extended service, feature implementation, fast support, donations, merch are all common monetisation methods across major linux distros and there is nothing wrong with any of them.

There are very few distros funded solely by the maintainers they are usually hobby projects.

I know that guy is a crazy tankie, I've see him around. What he brought up is a bunch of shit intended to waste time. He doesnt care about any of those things so trying to argue is a waste of time and most of its untrue or misleading.

Which ones dont monetize their OS? Its not that they are uniquely important. Its that its perfectly fine to monetize their own os. They are selling a service that is additional support for users that want it. Pretty simple stuff, you see users asking for this stuff all the time.

Why shouldn't they be able to offer additional paid support for their own distro? Why does it matter

Poof them out of existence, and what, outside of their own direct projects, breaks?

How is this relevant at all?

Hardware support and working with manufacturers to bring linux support, vendor support bringing mainstream apps to linux, advertising linux laptops and getting it in front of people all around the world, Wayland, gnome, accessibility, a ton shit way to much to list. Just because the improvements are done for Ubuntu doesnt mean they arent useful on other distros. Its free software after all the rising tide lifts all boats. Canonical arent a huge mega corp raking in cash. They cant compare to giants like redhat.

You do not seriously think all canonical has done is snaps and Gnome.

Is building one of the most popular linux desktop environments and distros not enough to sell a paid support package to the users who want it? I dont think thats unfair.

What do you think canonical should charge for? They do put a ton of work into the linux eco system

How much money do you think those generic porn sites that just link to other porn sites make?

Fizz @lemmy.nz 1w ago

Probably over 6 figures a year. The running costs are super low and they still get a good bit of use. They are way better at aggregating than PH. Oh just sucks at tagging and filtering and its categories are shit. The content is also low these days.

This is unpopular but I'd like to see LESS niche communities. I dont want to see 1000 game communities I want to see one game community where all the people are making threads about the games they like. When its big enough then that game can split into its own community.

Because i may not go out of my way to find a community like guild wars 1 but if I see a post about it in the games community I'd join in. The interest isnt always there it needs to be created sometimes. And it can be created by people seeing threads of interested people talking about their interest.

This got me so excited because i thought the game was being remastered or reignited. I'm happy they are making steamdeck based improvements because its a great steamdeck mmo. But most of the stuff I already had through gwtoolbox so i appreciate the gesture of support.

There are a few questions you need to answer that impact the specs.

What resolution will you be using for your monitor, 1080p or 2k or 4k. If you are 1080p gaming then you really do not need the latest and greatest.

Do you want to pay extra for a "future proofed" machine. I think buying future proof is a meme the stuff lasts so long especially on linux.

Do you want to pay extra for a smaller case and smaller parts.

What games do you want to play? Sim games require a decent CPU everything else you can get away with the lowest end CPU and its fine. 5500 5600 and 5600x are solid value AM4 cpus. If you have money for future proofing you can look at am5 CPUs.

For gpu ifyou are 2k or 4k gaming 9070XT is the best value card on the market right now.

For 1080p the 3060 or 3060it is a solid card at a solid price. Dont worry about nvidia compat its fine. It takes a single line pasted into the terminal to get the drivers and most distros have a GUI tool to get them if you dont want to do that.

As for distro it really doesnt matter, they all use mostly the same tools and software. Bazzite, fedora, Ubuntu are good places to start. If you want a "gaming" OS, cachyOS, nobara, pika have been optimised.

For specs that are important, if you need WiFi its nice to get a motherboard that has WiFi on it. Nvme ssd drive 1tb or 2tb is really nice.

Consider picking parts and building it yourself you will learn about how it goes together and fixing it will be much easier. You'll also have a lot more freedom for customisation and part pricing. I had a friend who is not technical at all build a PC and he said it was quite easy he just followed a video from linus tech tips. Took a few hours.
