Omega_Jimes,

I really hate that some people I know only use Facebook Messenger, some use Instagram, some use Discord, and some use text.

It’s a nightmare when working in groups for uni, so I just email everyone. Email has all the features I like.

Omega_Jimes,

I am 100% convinced that article was written by ai with just enough info to keep people reading between the ads.

Omega_Jimes,

I love the idea of these houses, but I think multi family plans should be considered as well. I’m sure they could drum up plans for multi level triplexes that would fit on many lots in cities where density is an issue.

Omega_Jimes,

The only thing stopping Fortnite from running on Linux is the anticheat. The anticheat it uses it made by Epic, and has a specific option for WINE compatibility.

Omega_Jimes,

EAC has a check box for Proton compatibility. Battleeye is linux native. All they have to do is check a box, and test to see if they can break it. If they let it out in the works and there’s some influx of cheaters, they can check the box again. Halo Infinite, Apex Legends, Smite, Battlebit etc etc were all capable of checking the box and testing.

I suspect Sweenys hesitation over support is caused by a lack of control.

Upgrading EAC in an unreal engine game is trivial, it’s basically baked into the engine. They update EAC all the time.

Omega_Jimes,

It’s more that having a game like that support linux would do a ton to quiet the “You can’t game on Linux” crowd.

Omega_Jimes,

There’s a saying: if alternative medicine worked, it would just be called “medicine”.

Omega_Jimes,

I’ve never had anyone tell me operations with the same priority can be done either way, it’s always been left to right.

Omega_Jimes,

Until Strange New World came out, Orville was my favorite Trek since TNG.

Why do people hate on mobile games, call them "not real games" and mock them, when some mobile-exclusive games are the best games I've played?

The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don’t even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do....

Omega_Jimes,

Who cares what other people think of you’re having fun?

Personally, I’ve never really had a good experience with mobile games. I keep trying, but the games I get recommended seem shallow, and I have a serious aversion to ads so that ruins most mobile experiences for me. The games I have enjoyed on mobile are mostly puzzle games, or clones and ports of games from other systems. But who cares what I think if you have fun. My partner spends way more time playing games on their phone than on PC or PS5. Different strokes, and all that.

Omega_Jimes,

Oh man. I’ve been using logseq, but being able to draw and scribble on my notes makes this mighty appealing…

Omega_Jimes,

Even before Origin, EA offered online sales with their EA Downloader app and it was a freaking nightmare. Terrible speeds, and you could only download a game so many times, and any purchases didn’t transfer to Origin.

Omega_Jimes,

Always be on guard and claim no allegiance to any huge company.

Also, Valve have been pretty consumer friendly for 20 years.

Omega_Jimes,

I’m always curious how long people spend staying at their desktops. My laptop has six virtual desktops and I can’t see the background on any of them.

One for each uni course and one for general use, and they all have 2-3 windows open. It’s super handy for school since I can just swipe and pick up where I left off on every course.

Edit: That’s not to take away from a gorgeous desktop. It looks really nice.

Omega_Jimes,

I can appreciate that. I wonder if I can set a rule that it displays a certain workspace after unlocking…

Omega_Jimes,

This should be done to any laptop after 4 years. A tube of paste only costs like $5, and it will have a massive difference.

Should I install Linux on my smartphone?

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) smartphone which currently has the stock Samsung Android OS installed on it. I wanted to install an Android “distro” that doesn’t spy on me, like Graphene OS, but I couldn’t find a ROM for it. Since I would probably need to compile AOSP from source code anyways, I though, why not install...

Omega_Jimes,

Computer is computer, and it works great. Phone is computer, so it should work great.

I understand this thought train, but yeah I had the same reaction as well.

Has Windows startup repair or a troubleshooter ever fixed your issue even once?

Yeah, basically that. I’m back at work in Windows land on a Monday morning, and pondering what sadist at Microsoft included these features. It’s not hyperbole to say that the startup repair, and the troubleshooters in settings, have never fixed an issue I’ve encountered with Windows. Not even once. Is this typical?...

Omega_Jimes,

This guy thinks you can do what you want with Windows.

Disabling updates is such a ridiculous thing because sometimes it works, and sometimes Windows just ignores you.

I’ve literally had two exact model laptops running as local render servers, fully updated, then disabled updates/reboots on both, around a month later one updated and rebooted dumping my workload and corrupting my database. Disabling anything on Windows doesn’t always work, it does what it wants.

Omega_Jimes,

I don’t know anyone who prefers Tim’s over other coffees, but I do know that they sell a ton of coffee.

Omega_Jimes,

This would really rely on having a very competent and trust worthy source, and in not sure if that exists for software the same way it does for movies/ TV shows.

Omega_Jimes,

Greenbell Nail Clippers. They’re expensive, like $20 but holy ducking shirt are they amazing.

Omega_Jimes,

The more people that use Linux, the better it will get! It’s win win!

Omega_Jimes,

It’s very ranch based. The amount of stuff you do on your ranch is awesome, and whenever you have to goto town it’s annoying.

Omega_Jimes,

Zipline is doing some freaking amazing things!

Omega_Jimes,

I always assumed it was shark skin…

Omega_Jimes,

OK but can it be three words, because “Goliath Halfling Fairy” is the bottom line and that sounds as metal as frig.

Omega_Jimes,

Freedom of speech or freedom of expression isn’t freedom from consequences. Words matter, and they have consequences, and people should consider the consequences of their speech in public.

Omega_Jimes,

It’s complicated. Legally we don’t have “freedom of speech”.

For clarification: Do I believe that’s a core human value? Absolutely.

Do I believe that tolerance is a social contact we should all abide by? Very much so!

Do I trust society to regulate itself? Heck no, from a sociological point of view that’s a mess for lots of reasons. In smaller communities it may be ideal, but anything anyone says now is considered on a global scale.

So, from where I stand, it makes sense for a governing body to place limited restrictions on what a person should be allowed to say in the public sphere. This specific issue is debatable and relies on a certain amount of faith in the institution. Is it right that these people were punished for saying their beliefs? That’s another complicated view that depends on a case by case basis. Is it legally allowable that a politician be censured for what they say? That depends on what they said. Is it morally allowable? From a moral absolutionist point of view, probably not, but our charters were made to prevent people from calling for violence in the public sphere. Is it morally acceptable to allow for someone to call for violence in a very real way as a political representative? What constitutes violence? How far can we deconstruct the rhetorical arguments our society is based on?

It’s complicated. We don’t have freedom of speech and we don’t have freedom from consequences. If you give people you agree with freedom from consequences you also have to give it to the people you don’t agree with.

Omega_Jimes,

I would blame this, and a lot of the problems “western” countries face, on the proliferation of 24 hour cable news networks since the Gulf War.

Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ (www.theverge.com)

“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”...

Omega_Jimes,

It’s actually wild to me,as a Canadian, how this isn’t a thing in America. Interac blows away my American friends on a constant basis.

Omega_Jimes,

Woods. I choose woods. 🪵 🪵 🪵

Omega_Jimes,

Sounds like a problem for future-me!

Omega_Jimes,

I did not know this existed and now I am obsessed…

Omega_Jimes,

Man every once in a while The Onion demonstrates how satire is supposed to be used. This is remarkable.

Omega_Jimes,

Greenbell Nail Clippers. Freaking sharp as anything and they’ve been my goto for about 10 years. I got them the same time I got my safety razor which is a great, cheap, beard removal tool.

Omega_Jimes,

There’s a ton of nuance on this issue, and I support people as long as they don’t do the things you said.

It was the same thing with the freedom convoys, if they had ejected radicals and Nazis, I would have been inclined to listen. If these protests start supporting Hamas, or not ejected people who do then they would lose my support.

I have not seen any antisemitism, or support of Hamas in any of these protests, so far just a lot of concern for people who are being oppressed by a significantly more powerful body politic.

Omega_Jimes,

I think this is because TNG had a very serious tone, and very ridiculous plots. Surface level they spent a lot of time adjusting shirts and trying to act prim and respectful with horns and orchestra in the background, then someone turns into a spider.

I think this causes people to see different things in it.

Omega_Jimes,

Embrace. Extend. Extinguish. Hold fast against the barbarians at the gates.

Omega_Jimes,

Is it UNWRA or UNRWA or are they two different agencies because wow with this article.

Omega_Jimes,

My gaming rig is running Nobara Project right now and I’d highly recommend it for gaming centric use.

Omega_Jimes,

You only need to eat two meals a day, really.

Omega_Jimes,

You’re not wrong. But this one has a big circle of cameras!

Omega_Jimes,

I’ve been using it for torrenting for ages. What’s this about port forwarding?

Omega_Jimes,

I literally did not know this. I haven’t had any kind of issues so I’m not going to worry about it, but it’s something that I would have considered during initial setup.

Omega_Jimes,

If people want to use Brave, or Windows, or install screen doors on their submarines who am I to complain?

The fact is for a lot of people, Brave offers a superior out of box experience compared to firefox or almost any other browser. In terms of ad blocking, speed and ease of use, it’s pretty much second to none. The fact that you install it and go is really appealing and how easy they make the slider to adjust the aggressiveness of the script blocking is great ui that my dad mother could use.

Yes, the company isn’t very good, it’s headed by a guy with a questionable history and has a poor track record when it comes to monetization strategy. I stopped using Brave this year, but for ages it was my goto because I could just install it and have an improved web experience.

Omega_Jimes,

I’m an absolute whore of a human for Mitsubishi ‘Uni’ Pens. I don’t even like writing, but their Jetstream line are cheap and should be the ubiquitous goto pen. Everytime I have to pick up a bic, I die a little inside.

Omega_Jimes,

For whatever reason it can’t seem to suspend my thinkpad. Everything crashes and when I open the lid I have to log in again :/

Omega_Jimes,

I can only assume it’s wayland causing the crash. When I run gnome45 in x11, it suspends and resumes normally, but when I run in wayland upon resume everything is gone, regardless of what was running. I’ve combed through dmesg to find out what’s happening but it hasn’t been too fruitful so far.
