Looked up the top-right one, the original phrase is

人は殺さられば、死ぬ。

Which, indeed, means "If a person is killed, they die". I listened to the whole scene and it sounds like the character does have something weird going on with his body, which prevents him from dying, and what they are meaning to say is "normal people die if they are killed, but I don't".

It's a bit sad how everybody talk about the new NTsync. Most games, like, 90% of them, are not bound by sync. You would get exactly no performance benefit in them. What's better about it is the correctness of the implementation, more programs will work under WINE as a result of switching to NTsync. It's a good thing, but media clearly seems to miss the point and only focus on a few cases where it would give an impressive performance benefit.

For anyone having the copy-paste skill issue, try Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V.

TUI is a subset of GUI that uses text in a terminal to render UI elements. It does not make automation any easier. What you want is called CLI.

Yea, when I switched to Linux, at first I installed PowerShell to get something familiar, but quickly realized that contrary to Windows, terminal on Linux is actually usable on it's own out of the box.

Looks like a perfectly normal "Enter" key on an ANSI keyboard. Why the confusion?

A fairly hard to answer question with Japanese. It operates with morae, not vowels and consonants. な row (なにぬねの, na ni nu ne no) and ま row (まみむめも, ma mi mu me mo) are starting with distinctly different sounds, they are pretty hard to confuse. However, there is also this fucker: ん (n). This one can be read very differently depending on what surrounds it. As an example,

{先生|せんせい} (se n se i), means teacher, has ん usually romanized as "n";

{先輩|せんぱい} (se m pa i), means senior, has ん usually romanized as "m".

There are some more ways of reading it, sometimes it becomes nasal, sometimes it makes you pretend you are speech impaired.

Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat is usually written にゃん (n-ya n). Two n sounds here are a bit different, one is represented by the beginning of に (ni), another by ん (n). The first one is hard to confuse with an "m", so I would say that it's just cats producing a sound somewhere inbetween m and n, and it just so happened that Japanese people attributed it to に.

Happens in plenty other languages, Ukranian one is няв (nyav), for example.

It's "мяу" in Russian and Bulgarian, "мяў" in Belarusian. So, you can also choose between MRY and whatever Belarusians did to their у.

No. With Unix-style tools, bare terminal is always more powerful than any GUI. It's just that a lot of people don't want to invest their time into reading manuals and actually understanding how it all works.

Presumption of innocence is a thing, you know?

In 2020 some small servers (50-200 people per server) got cover banned with all their users, mostly for political talk, as far as I'm aware.

I, personally, usually join such small servers while looking for lobby members in older games, I have a couple of them muted except for channels dedicated specifically to game lobbies. If someone starts an "illegal" talk in any other channel on one of these, why should I be held liable? Or am I suddenly obligated to hunt for pipe bomb recipes in any server I join?

Unless your laptop uses some obscure networking hardware, should work out of the box. Never used Mint, but it looks like it uses NetworkManager by default, which I haven't had any major issues with.

uninstalls the kernel package

 

I'm looking for a website that aggregates specs for gamepads/controllers.

For example, for VR headsets we have VRcompare.

Does anything similar exist for gamepads?
