Strictly speaking, this is an item interaction, not an attack action. Clearly they're using it as an attack, and framing it as an item interaction to avoid losing invisibility.

I don't know the rules of invisibility off the top of my head, but I might do something like require a stealth check to maintain the benefits, or a perception or dex check from the other guy to notice it/avoid it hitting him. I don't think I'd actually end the entire spell, that has always seemed excessive to me.

It probably would have done the same if you had tried to install Windows or BSD.

You should use a different USB drive and boot something like memtest86+ and let it run through. Or if it's something like a Dell with built-in diagnostics, run that. You need to rule out failure of the different components. I'm guessing it's the drive, but it could also be RAM.

Usually, the Linux installers have memtest86+ built in, as well as media verification. I'd do the verification if you haven't already, then memtest.

If that was true, it should be using no delimiters, and therefore still a bug.

Also, American English delimits large numbers like 1,000,000.

Yes but that's user-induced.

I'm not sure that those exact tools exist, or are in common use, outside of Excel or business tools like SAP. I don't think you can meaningfully programmatically assign a number to a software update adding features, at least without a human doing the analysis and making a judgement call.

Well, you could use some LLM to read the release notes and generate a number, but I doubt it would have any more value than the human doing it.

More generally, analyses like "if we update and shit breaks we lose $x per day" aren't, to my knowledge and in my experience, tracked in any formal software system, just stuff like Excel and SAP.

If it's crashing when even burning the ISO, it's not Mint.

Engagement numbers are like crack for some people I guess

Here is that discussion for context: https://ponder.cat/post/1728396

I'm not sure I'd characterize their posts as spam; I definitely noticed their posts, and their name showing up often, but it didn't seem detrimental.

LW mods can still be dumb as hell though.

The point is to make people give up. Then they don't need to answer the phone at all!

It should respect your region and language settings by default. If it doesn't, file a bug report.

And stupid people vote Republican, and Republicans destroy education to make more stupid people. It's a cruel feedback loop.

True, but in this study, there was no increase in consumption of other types of food.
