atmur,

and lastly, op (i think) rule

atmur,

I just stumbled across PDF Arranger last week, it is great.

atmur,

Unlike some older mods that caused problems with how the game’s physics worked, this one keeps everything in check.

Nice, the old 60fps mod was janky and caused more problems than it was worth. Might have to play Rivals again with this one.

atmur,

I’ve been running Fedora for years. I tried out Arch and OpenSUSE a bit this year just to see if I was missing anything, and went right back to Fedora afterward.

Not as fussy as Arch and better package availability than SUSE (for my needs at least). Also dnf is my favorite package manager despite being relatively slow.

atmur,

They literally fixed every problem I had with the Deck and more.

Really tempted to sell mine and upgrade.

atmur,

I’ve seen a few people wanting another usb-c port. It would be neat, but personally as long as they keep the headphone jack, I’m happy with the one port. I just want to charge and listen to stuff at the same time, which I can do on the Deck unlike most modern phones.

atmur,

“Child” -> “Small hamas fighter”

atmur,

Google has trained me to think “I wonder if that still exists” every time I remember one of their products.

The Google graveyard is vast.

atmur,

My top priority for a desktop is stability, which puts Gnome squarely at the top of my list. Gnome may not get features first, but they’ll do it right in the long run.

The go-to meme is VRR on Wayland in Gnome, which is taking forever with a major roadblock being how the cursor is drawn on screen. KDE has VRR support now, but (surprise!) it doesn’t work properly when a cursor is on screen. So you can either have no implementation or a broken implementation. I don’t mind Gnome choosing not to ship a half-working feature. I also understand the KDE team’s decision to have something in place for some use cases even if it doesn’t consistently work, but that’s not what I personally want out of a desktop.

Both KDE and Gnome are fucking amazing projects, this circle-jerk of “gnome bad because development slow” is a waste of time. Let’s spend more time bullying Microsoft instead. Have any of you used the Windows desktop environment recently? It’s fucking trash.

atmur,

I mean, have you seen Gnome’s Gitlab issues? I swear people treat it like a Reddit comments section sometimes, which just wastes everyone’s time.

atmur,

For every major Fedora update I’ll try to perform the upgrade from the Gnome Software app just to see if it works, and every time it breaks and I fall back to good ol’ dnf system-upgrade. This is the first time upgrading from Software worked for me, and it was fast too. Nice to see all the Software improvements finally paying off.

atmur,

Assetto Corsa?

atmur,

I know they’re probably joking, but the Steam forums are so generally unhinged that I wouldn’t be surprised if this person is serious.

atmur,

I just tried the survey and got 12/20, it’s interesting looking for the details that give it away and how often that lead me to the wrong answer. Comments on each image below because I thought this was neat, hopefully I’m using spoiler tags correctly.

spoilerImage 1 (Incorrect): I was totally 50/50 on this one, and I guessed wrong. Image 2 (Correct): Glasses look wrong when looking closely. If he wasn’t wearing glasses, I think I would’ve been 50/50 on this one too. Image 3 (Correct): The most obvious AI generated one in the list. Image 4 (Incorrect): I accidentally spoiled myself on this one by clicking on your image before the survey, but there’s no way I would’ve guessed this was AI so I chose “No” to keep my result accurate. Image 5 (Incorrect): I thought the shoes looked kind of odd, that was the only thing I was going off of. Image 6 (Incorrect): I was really conflicted on this one. The floor of the boat didn’t look quite right, but not necessarily in an AI way. In the end, I thought it was AI because of the random pieces of wood in the boat. That seemed like something an AI would randomly add, but I was totally wrong. Image 7 (Correct): Eyes are clearly AI generated, and parts of the sword look off. If it wasn’t for those, it would be really hard to tell. Image 8 (Correct): The butterfly has an extra wing coming out of its back. Image 9 (Incorrect): This was another one I was conflicted on. I chose AI because the dirt(?) right after the waterfall seemed odd, but I was wrong. Image 10 (Incorrect): I was fairly confident in my guess. The resolution makes it hard to tell, but it looks like right horse is melting in that usual AI way, but I think that’s actually supposed to be the thing that connects the horses to the cart at a second glance. Image 11 (Correct): I couldn’t imagine an AI drawing trees like that. Image 12 (Correct): The break in the river in the middle of the image looks odd. Image 13 (Incorrect): I was 50/50 on this one, guessed wrong. Image 14 (Correct): This is the other one I spoiled myself on, but the highlights look super weird. I’m quite sure I would’ve guessed this was AI-generated regardless. Image 15 (Correct): I didn’t think an AI would generate an image with specific details like the fish bowl or Pocky that well. Image 16 (Correct): I almost got myself thinking this was a trick question because there’s no way an AI would generate something that accurate. Image 17 (Correct): This generally looks AI generated, but the pattern on the pants was a dead giveaway. Image 18 (Correct): The arm rest is at the same level as the chair/couch cushions? Image 19 (Correct): I don’t really have any comments on this one, it just didn’t look AI generated. Image 20 (Incorrect): This one has that AI-generated vibe, but I thought that might be intentional to make this harder. I couldn’t see any other details that made it obviously AI, so I guessed it was real. Welp.

This was a fun survey, thanks for putting this together.

atmur,

That’s a weird one. I’ve been running a 165hz primary monitor and a 144hz secondary for a while on AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs. I’ve never had any trouble with them.

Were you using Wayland or X11?

atmur,

Mindlessly watching glxgears is the greatest experience a GPU can render.

atmur,

That’s a perfect way to put it. From constantly relying on ProtonDB to occasionally checking areweanticheatyet.com.

atmur,

Publishers who do this make shit games anyway.

As someone who really wants to see desktop Linux grow, I try not to think like this because I know others care about these games…but goddammit if I don’t completely agree with you on the inside. I do not understand the obsession with these games products, they’re exclusively designed to keep you playing and paying for as long as possible to avoid fomo for digital garbage.

There are a tiny handful of non-live service games that still use anti-cheat, and most of those have already enabled support for Proton. Dragon Ball FighterZ is literally the only exception that I can think of, and even that’s playable offline IIRC.

atmur,

a commercial version of WINE

That would be CrossOver by CodeWeavers. They’re actually a huge contributor to upstream Wine and have worked with Valve (and I think Collabora?) several times over the past few years. I’m kind of tempted to buy a copy of CrossOver to support them even though I’d never use it, lol

atmur,

If you’re happy managing Wine prefixes, you aren’t missing out on much. Running a game on Steam with Proton is going to be about the same quality of experience compared to running a non-Steam game with Wine + DXVK + D3DVK. Proton is great because it’s already in Steam so everything “just works” if that’s where your games are, but Valve upstreams basically everything they do so everyone benefits.

atmur,

Force Proton in game properties, the native version kind of sucks but Proton works fine.

atmur,

The company behind Fortnite and the Unreal Engine is also reported to be selling off Bandcamp

They bought it, did nothing with it, and are now selling it. Amazing.

Honestly happy they’re selling it though, I was so disappointed when they originally bought it.

atmur,

It probably doesn’t need that much power, but speed is fun and the extra torque can be useful.

The new Rimac Nevera (an EV hypercar) has over 1800 HP.

atmur,

I don’t disagree with that. I have a Bolt EV, which isn’t fast (0-60 in 6.7s) but it has that instant acceleration at any speed that has quickly gotten me further away from sketchy drivers or situations more than a few times.

There’s probably something of a bell curve of safety going from super slow to super fast, lol

atmur,

AntennaPod on Android and Overcast on iOS have been my go-to options.

atmur,

Darknet Diaries is so good

atmur,

Spoons won’t spark, you gotta use aluminum foil instead for best results.

atmur,

If you don’t know who Felix Colgrave is, he’s the guy who animated Double King and a bunch of other weird and fantastic short films and music videos. This video is from the new WOMBOT Studio channel, which is run by Colgrave and Zoë Medcraft. The latter of which was the director, lead animator, and painter on this video!

atmur,

I really need to listen to more Ratatat. I liked “Classics” but haven’t gotten around to listening to the rest of their discography yet.

atmur,

I’ve listened through it 3 times now, it’s amazing.

atmur,

Yep. From the North Sentinel Island wikipedia page:

The islanders have been observed shooting arrows at boats, as well as at **low-flying helicopters. **

If they’re shooting at a helicopter, I don’t think they’ll think about a bunch of drones any differently.

atmur,

atmur,

It feels like most Lemmy/Kbin communities skew towards having a lot of CS people. Makes sense considering what kind of people would be interested in using the fediverse over traditional social media sites though.

I love all you fellow nerds <3

atmur,

Navidrome’s smart playlists can do some of this. You’re basically building filters for songs to be added to a playlist automatically though, it’s not as “smart” as Spotify.

atmur,

I was a super early adopter of Jellyfin because Plex was going to shit. It’s amazing to see how much it’s grown in just a few years.

atmur, (edited )

The firm is also in talks with a “known company” for a potential sale of its NASCAR license.

I’m guessing it’s Kylotonn. They just lost the WRC license and are nearing the end of Test Drive Solar Crown development. They need a franchise they can push out every year.

Another possibility is EA, because they love their yearly releases and have an abundance of racing game developers right now (Codemasters, Slightly Mad Studios, Evolution (or what’s left of them), Criterion, Firemonkeys).

atmur,

They also own Studio 397 and rFactor 2, which has had its fair share of shitshows as well (before and after the acquisition).

atmur,

Ah, I didn’t think about iRacing. Yeah, that’s a super strong possibility.

I can’t wait for this album. No Geography was a masterpiece.
