Yeah, this guy's wife is currently, right now, destroying the Department of Education.
Anyway, if people want an actual linux native mod manager, that works with literally anything after a bit of set up...
LIMO.
https://github.com/limo-app/limo
Its on flathub too:
https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.limo_app.limo
It's basically MO2, but linux native, you don't need to run it through STL or Proton or some other way of making it work.
Just actually RTFM, and its a very powerful tool.
I don't think it supports downloading an auto installing a whole mod collection from Nexus, but it can be set up to check Nexus for updates to individual mods, and download them.
Because it basically doesn't.
Their linux support for this is experimental at best, its in early alpha.
Still confused why you continue to emphasise estimate when ADP is also an estimate.
Because BLS is a much shittier estimate.
revisions are not shocking, but perfectly normal.
Lol no, not to this degree, they absolutely are not, and its been getting worse for 2 years.
I don't think anyone is that surprised (though we can agree that there are a lot of overconfident and less statistically literate professionals)
Well the DJIA drop on the print, and every single news outlet's reaction indicates that a lof of people were surprised, but ok then.
Literally, expectations were +110k to +120k.
Which is pathetic and anemic even as an expectation, should be more like +220k for the economy to just be treading water basically, but nope, missed even that sad expectation by almost half.
ADP was +104k in July, so by your previous logic we should expect upwards revisions in the BLS July number as the year goes on right?
My... logic points to this?
I don't see how you draw that conclusion but ok.
Lets compare June ADP and BLS:
ADP: -28k / not revised because they don't need to.
BLS: +147k / revised down to +14k
ADP measures private payrolls, and then basically just statistically broadens their sample set to an estimated size of entire private economy by sectors and business sizes, for the same month.
BLS on the other hand does this for the entire economy, and has as fundamental parts of their modelling both an attempt to normalize for seasonality and also tries to figure in estimated population growth at the same time.
Meanwhile, the BLS counts of just pure private sector jobs that are almost exactly the same as what ADP counts... they are actually pretty close.
Post revision BLS has July at +83k private sector jobs. Thats not that far from ADP's +104k July private sector.
Roughly, to get the ADP number from BLS, for private sector, you just undo their seasonal normalization, then you're quite close to the ADP number most of the time.
BLS just royally fucked up everything not core private sector.
So no, I would not expect much of an upward revision in July BLS numbers, at best, they'll find they slightly undercounted private sector jobs, but overcounted a bunch of other categories, that would be my expectation.
...
BLS has a giant tome of complexity that goes into the totality of their big number print, with many, many factors that can be (and have been) wrong.
ADP's is less comprehensive over the whole economy, but is also much less complex and direct.
Less failure points = More reliable.
Its kinda like how in the past year or so, roughly 1/3 of the reported prices that actually make up the inflation number, CPI... well they are not actually reported prices.
They are model derived. Not actual reported data.
Lies, damned lies and statistics.
They more and more stats you pile onto something means you have more and more assumptions and reliance on models, the fact that BLS keeps having to revise shit means their models and assumptions are inadequate.
The BLS should probably be reporting error bars and ranges for their sector specific and the compounded error bars for their total metrics, I can tell you that the stuff they've been putting out would not make it through a peer reviewed academic journal as being statistically valid to any serious degree.
While I agree that Trump just firing the BLS head and likely replacing them with a stooge is even worse, the chuckleheads at BLS have been incompetent for a while, as has been everyone else who hasn't noticed this.
Hey there, sorry to necropost, but uh:
Remember how I was saying BLS jobs estimate data is bullshit, that keeps getting revised down?
Well they fucking blew the lid off of it this time, turns out that 258k jobs they initially said were added in May+June?
Poof, all gone, not real, we actually only added 33k, not 281k, in May + June, according to BLS.
And you know the measely 78k from July could also be revised downward too, in the coming months!
Trump actually fired the head of the BLS over this.
...
Sorry to get so irate over this whole issue and channel it all toward you, but jfc, I was right, 95% of finance bros and 'economists' most people hear from or about are actually fucking bad at their jobs.
See, technically, I am an econometrician, not economist.
It means I specialize in the metrics, the statistics, the data quality.
... it also means I am not surprised by things that other people get surprised by.
No no, you don't get it.
Random Windows 'Powerusers' obviously know more about programming and cybersecurity than people who actually do that for a living, as a professional line of work, duh!
See, I wrote a bash file once, so I basically know everything about software dev, especially on linux as well, which is basically just the whole OS is powershell, right?

It was some good times, we have better graphics now lol.
Yeah I dunno if you remember any of the ... now super old trailers for PR, but I was a beta tester from almost day 1, and I can still point out which clips of footage in which trailers are 'me', lol.
Then what you're looking for is roughly Squad.
Made by a team that originated as the mod developers behind Project Reality for BF2.
Currently though, it is going through a bit of an awkward phase as they are trying to transition from UE4 to UE5... but the UE4 version is still pretty solid.
Squad has less of an arcady gameplay style to it than BF proper, more milsim or milsim lite, the gameplay systems themselves reward and revolve more around being in a squad...
...fancier kit loadouts are limited for a whole team, takes multiple people to fully operate a tank or IFV, you actually have to be a pilot or crewman class to fly or drive something more conplex than basically a truck, lower TTK as weapon damages are more realistic, but also more fleshed out medical system...
... there are more gamemodes, many of which revolve much more around logistics and setting u0 and defending FOBs, you got AAS which roughly simulates a frontline by preventing the sort of willy nilly flag backcapping from BF games... flags are grouped together in sort of layers, and you can't capture any flag thats more than one layer away from the layer your team currently has...
Whole lotta gameplay tweaks, vehicles tend to respawn more slowly and players respawn more slowly, but anyway yeah, its a sort of hypothetical roughly modern era war setting, tons of factions.
Also I think there is a Starwars themed mod for it lol, there's ww2 mods for it, etc.
...
EDIT: As strongarm mentions, Hell Let Loose and the Arma series are also good choices, I am just biased because I was once part of the Project Reality team, way way back, hehehe.
lol, may I only half jokingly suggest money laundering via purchases and sales of artwork through a non profit?
Seems to be effectively legal, though a bit riskier in terms of bang for your buck these days.
if by tomato sauce you mean frosting or nutella or jam, and by mozzarella you mean chocolate shavings or bits of sweet fruit or powdered sugar....
yes.
