GFGJewbacca,

I’ve been running Fedora 39 on my ASUS gaming laptop because it’s the only OS that natively supports the utility to deal with the discreet graphics card. I was thinking about using bazzite for the next gaming desktop I build. What do you think about it? I’ve been using Nobara on my Surface Pro 4, but I can’t update using dnf anymore because it would alter some protected drivers, and I don’t want that issue with another distro.

GFGJewbacca,

Celeste is a wonderfully brutal game. I love the characters and the whole idea behind, “conquer a hard thing just to say I did it.” To be fair, that is what it feels like when climbing mountains or other large rock structures

Plants vs Zombies is the best tower defense game out there. Y’all can fight me on that.

GFGJewbacca,

This is the correct answer

GFGJewbacca,

Haha, this is perfect. You encapsulated Shadowrun combat perfectly. How does the Darkness fair in the matrix is my question.

GFGJewbacca,

That always makes me think of this great moment from “Men In Black.”

GFGJewbacca,

And here I was thinking the perfect comic didn’t exist.

GFGJewbacca,

The “live, laugh, love” pillow is a nice touch. I wouldn’t mind this kind of poltergeist in my house…as long as they make good design choices.

GFGJewbacca,

I still love playing Dead Cells. I’m planning on putting this on my wishlist for when it goes on sale. Hopefully there’s co-op too.

GFGJewbacca,

I can understand why the government would want to do away with the colonial language. It’s a reminder of a dark time. However, the decision of what the official language(s) should be can lead to some tricky politics. If one local language is elevated, it gives an advantage to those who grew up speaking it. This is especially hard for minority languages from indigenous peoples.

An example of this is in Botswana, where I’m currently living. The Tswana people came up from South Africa and displaced indigenous populations like the San and Herero. After independence in 1966 from being a British protectorate, they made English the official language and Setswana the national language. English is used in education and government, but everyone is also expected to learn Setswana to function in society. For those who didn’t grow up speaking Setswana or who don’t learn it, it’s harder or impossible to get good healthcare or a good job.

Language politics can get really messy when there are lots of local languages. I worry about what might happen as a result of this decision.

Best Linux Distro for a tablet?

Been wanting to put Linux on my Surface Pro 7, but when i tried it with Ubuntu, it didn’t work as well as I’d like. I used the Surface driver kernel, but Ubuntu wasn’t really good with touch. It couldn’t give a pop up keyboard (only showed up when logging into my account, but never beyond that). Sometimes it wouldn’t...

GFGJewbacca,

I’ve been running Nobara on my Surface Pro 4, which is based on Fedora. It comes with all the surface drivers built in, which really helps. It’s been working pretty well for me.

GFGJewbacca,

Carl’s Jr has deemed you an unfit parent!

GFGJewbacca,

You mean Tux?

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

GFGJewbacca,

I do agree that GNOME is really beautiful. I spent time making the taskbar more like GNOME before commiting to using KDE.

GFGJewbacca,

I hear you there. I like the workflow of GNOME, and I wish I could make the app launcher in KDE be as minimalist as the GNOME launcher in ArcMenus. But at the same time, a number of things I was using the launcher for can be done as a keystroke in KDE, so it kinda makes up for it.

GFGJewbacca,

That’s why I’m calling it a playground fight. They’re both good, but right now I’m loving KDE. GNOME is really beautiful. I organized the taskbar in KDE to be similar to default GNOME, but with some extra stuff that I’m digging too.

GFGJewbacca,

Sleek is a great way to describe GNOME. It’s really pretty and slick, and I was sure happy with how it worked. Plus, with all my google accounts hooked into GNOME, Evolution just pulled all that info and gave me real easy access to my mail. I wish KMail did the same thing.

GFGJewbacca,

Yes! I wholeheartedly agree with you. There are pieces of GNOME I wish I could bring into KDE, and vice versa.

GFGJewbacca,

Sailor moon, you ain’t got no hands!

GFGJewbacca,

How do you know my inner thoughts, OP?

GFGJewbacca,

That’s some Shadowrun level dystopian shit

GFGJewbacca,

Thank goodness. I could really use this for my laptop.

GFGJewbacca,

And now I will leave Earth for no raisin!

GFGJewbacca,

Tell that to the US government. There’s a reason the United States isn’t part of the ICC.

GFGJewbacca,

Fedora 39, and it runs beautifully on my gaming laptop. I’m pondering trying out the COSMIC DE for kicks, but I’m also liking GNOME 45.

GFGJewbacca,

I thought the same thing

GFGJewbacca,

I’m also a new dad, caring for a 7 week old. I get that it’s hard, and I hear the kind of issues you’re dealing with. I hope you can care for yourself in the midst of all your kid’s needs. If you want to talk, I’m here.

GFGJewbacca,

Glad to hear it! My wife and I work the same way. She created a schedule for us which makes sure that we each get some down time and a chance to exercise, but I sometimes take on extra to make sure she gets more rest or so that she can go to the gym. We make sure to look out for each other, and it’s great to see you two are doing the same.

Voice Ruler (pawb.social)

A screenshot of a tweet from @zumo_zd, which reads “I like it when this happens”. The attached image is a drawn mock-up of an IMDb-style page of “Popular Voice Actor Man, known for Lord Darkness Edgeman from Blood Dying and Screaming”. On his list of roles, this casting is listed, but he is also listed as voicing...

GFGJewbacca,

That dude is everywhere. Yes, he became iconic for his Joker voice in Batman: The Animated Series, but my god he’s in so much TV. He was hilarious for his brief appearance in “What We Do in the Shadows,” and he killed it in Adventure Time. I mean seriously, look at his IMDB page.

GFGJewbacca,

Reminds me of an old joke. “How do you know if someone runs Arch Linux?” “Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”

GFGJewbacca,

I updated from Fedora 38 yesterday, and my Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 is working even better than before. The tool for controlling the discreet graphics card is working flawlessly now, unlike before. I would strongly recommend upgrading.

GFGJewbacca,

I’m talking about asusctl, supergfxclt, and rog-control-center which is a GUI front end for the previous two items. You can find lots of info and guides on it here.

GFGJewbacca,

I was using Thunderbird when I switched to Fedora, but then I found out about Evolution. If you use GNOME, I think it’s much better.

GFGJewbacca,

I freaking love Apocalypse World. It’s one of my favorite systems by far. The world has so much potential to be as expansive as you’d like, and can fluidly adjust to the players actions. I’ve been running a game for a while (which is currently on hiatus because I have a new baby), and it’s a blast.

GFGJewbacca,

That right there is a prime example of a good dog. Make sure they know it.

GFGJewbacca,

Oh, so you’re from the Counterweight Continent? What’s it like over there?

GFGJewbacca,

Wait a sec…did you use a gutteral Arabic letter to make the tongue look more interesting? I’m stealing that one.

GFGJewbacca,

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I am a hospital chaplain, so I have been with families as their loved ones have died in settings like this. If you want to talk to someone, I’m here for you.

GFGJewbacca,

Imma beat that fucker with another motherfucker

GFGJewbacca,

Ook

GFGJewbacca,

Picklemancer

GFGJewbacca,

Why the hell does the article conclude with his record as a coach for the most recent football season? How is that relevant to the story? Dude sexually harassed someone, and actually faced consequences. That’s all that matters here.

GFGJewbacca,

Strong Tiffany Aching energy.

GFGJewbacca,

People don’t go crazy after being in solitary confinement tortured for years. What are you going on about?

GFGJewbacca,

By Grabthar’s hammer…what savings.

A 9/11 defendant is ruled unfit for trial after a medical panel finds torture left him psychotic (apnews.com)

Brett Eagleson, whose father, Bruce Eagleson, was killed when one of the hijacked planes destroyed the south tower of the World Trade Center, called the events that forced the sidelining of al-Shibh’s prosecution “another example of the lack of justice that the 9/11 community has received at the hands of our own...

GFGJewbacca,

President Joe Biden this month declined to approve post-trauma care when defense lawyers presented it as a condition in plea negotiations. The administration said the president was unsettled by the thought of providing care and ruling out solitary confinement for the 9/11 defendants, given the historic scale of the attacks.

“Of course it’s not popular" among Americans, Bruck said Friday. “Enforcing human rights, the most fundamental human rights, is often not popular. But we should do it.”

This is incredibly telling on US government officials’ thoughts regarding human rights.
