You are very bad at trolling. Try reading the first sentence of the source instead of skipping to a related etymology. Use of a word in a 1610 text is concrete evidence of use of that word existing in 1610, regardless of any other claims that text makes; if it read "Martians ate my baby" that would be concrete evidence of the word "Martians" being used but not of Martians existing.

I posted three sources and you evidently did not read any of them. The latest of the three sources is the exact same variant as modern use and dated 1500s, which is slightly more than the 100 years ago you're claiming.

When I said it was a biblical term I was being entirely literal. King James translation circa 1610, Acts 11:26:

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

I'm not sure where you're getting that information, Christian is not a new word. It's literally biblical. You could make an argument that it's a 1500s word but that's a little spurious considering alternative forms such as Cristien and Cristen appear far earlier.

Edit: Christian, "1520s", etymonline; Cristien, "c1300", Middle English Compendium; Christen, "pre-1150", OED (potentially referencing modern definition of baptising rather than religious follower, paywalled so can't double check that one)

The "once in a generation" argument was always bullshit but over time it's just got more and more ridiculous. If we had an independence referendum today people who were five years old in the last one could now vote. How could any sane person consider that the same generation?

I tried looking that up but all I could find was this private video and a lot of responses calling them out for spouting total bullshit, I'm guessing it was a misinformation video they were forced to remove after a lot of pushback. Doesn't sound like someone worth listening to.

Absolutely, I just meant to point out that there's far more blatant examples so no need to couch your language in phrases like "some have said". Goblins have been antisemitic caricatures in fantasy for a long time so it's easy for a bad writer to just regurgitate existing tropes, meaning a racist writer can use that as a shield, but it's much harder to justify naming your black character after slave imagery.

The globins follow a lot of harmful Jewish stereotypes but I'm not sure it's obvious whether they're intended as racist caricatures or if it's just bad writing. It's not unreasonable to assume that though when you put it beside much more blatant examples, such as calling the black guy "Shacklebolt" and the Asian girl "Cho Chang".

Wow, what the fuck. I have honestly no idea what about my username or post history could have made you so hostile. The last sentence you're complaining about is literally a tldr of the rest of the comment; everyone's talking trends between generations and you're dismissing that (and complaining about entire subsequent generations) based entirely on one person's individual experience.

[–] my_hat_stinks 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nobody has ever claimed that every gen x owned a home. There have always been people who can and people who cannot afford a home, but each generation has more people in the can't-afford group than the previous. At 30, more genx owned a home than millennials, and more millennials than genz.

The problem you're having is that everyone else is talking trends and you're talking personal annecdote.

Sounds like you've tried some different formatted partitions for the os, have you done the same for the games too? When I switched from Windows to dual-boot Linux I kept my existing NTFS partition for games, those games shows up as installed in Steam but wouldn't launch properly.

If that doesn't help, add this to your game's launch options to get a log which should include an error:

PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

Log should be in your home directory.

It says top 85%. In a room with 100 people the 85th smartest person would be in the top 85% but they'd also be in the bottom 15%.

I signed in this morning and checked my profile to find I'm not actually here. Did anyone else accidentally stop existing overnight?

Not sure exactly how long this has been happening, but it's been bugging me for the last week at least.

Running Firefox 129.0 (64-bit) on Linux Mint, it seems like the login session is just constantly expiring. Every time I boot up my machine the first time I open programming.dev I have to sign in again. Closing all programming.dev tabs and navigating back to programming.dev without closing Firefox seems to always preserve the session and not require a new sign-in.

~~Closing all Firefox windows then opening Firefox and navigationg to programming.dev is a semi-reliable way to reproduce, about 75% of the time it requires a new sign-in even when I'd signed in less then a minute ago before closing the window.~~ Further testing shortly before submitting this post and those steps no longer reproduce the issue, I'm signed in even after closing the window. Maybe it's a recurring transient issue with login service?

Potentially relevant add-ons are UBlock Origin (0 blocks, shouldn't be an issue) and Privacy Badger (also 0 trackers blocked). I'm connected through VPN, but the issue seems to appear regardless of whether I stay on the same VPN server or switch servers. Firefox reports Content-Security-Policy issues but these seem unrelated and also appear when the session is successfully preserved.

Possibly helpful, occasionally when I open programming.dev I'll see it's signed out then automatically signs in after a second or so; this might have been a known Lemmy issue at some point with delayed authentication as a (now insufficient) solution. A good chance that's a dead-end, might be worth checking anyway.

Edit: It's worth noting that I'm also signed in via the android Jerboa app on another device and don't get signed out there. This could definitely be relevant if it turns out the Jerboa session somehow interferes with the Firefox session.
