flashgnash,

On a side note I never thought I’d be nostalgic for overwatch lootboxes. They somehow made it even worse

flashgnash,

Larian have always been pretty good really hope they don’t go that way

That said they’ve got that wizards of the coast money behind them too

flashgnash,

Debian based, arch based, rhel based are all somewhat different and have different package managers (with flatpak, appimage and snap that might be less important nowadays though)

Nobara comes with all the stuff for gaming, not everyone who uses Linux knows exactly what they need to install themselves

NixOS is fantastic and drastically different from all the others

NixOS, silverblue, vanilla are all immutable which makes a massive difference

Also not everyone wants to install their own DE, so if they want something like cinnamon, pantheon, KDE they need a distro that comes with it preinstalled

flashgnash,

I look at mine like they’re toys lol

flashgnash,

Fortunately my laptop only has nvmes built in, so 99% of the time all 3am me has to do is not type nvme and I’m good

flashgnash,

Comic Shanns mono all the way

Linux on a 2in1 for Uni (lemmy.world)

Hello linix@lemmy, I got fixed on the idea of replacing my iPad with a 2in1 like the thibkpad X13 for uni since I use the keyboard with my iPad a lot. The only time I need to take handwritten notes is in chemistry, mathematics and to annotate PDFs. Does anyone here have experience with convertibles running Linux? What would be...

flashgnash,

Don’t get a Lenovo yoga they kinda suck

Not sure about the ThinkPad yogas, only used a non -thinkpad one but I’m sure someone will chime in

From what I hear, ironically enough the surface pros are pretty good for Linux

flashgnash,

It’s like email, you have a bunch of different providers who all talk to each other but are run by different people Or phone/text, everyone’s got a different provider but everyone can message everyone

flashgnash,

Raisin cookies > chocolate chip cookies

flashgnash,

I’ve just eaten a raisin cookie so I feel fantastic

flashgnash,

RAISIN COOKIES > CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

flashgnash,

Here, you can have one I have plenty 🍪

flashgnash,

The constant is humans. Stupidity, greed, selfishness, stubbornness, etc

Also creativity, kindness, in most some amount of concern for fellow humans Think our society punishes a lot of those good qualities though

flashgnash,

You’re either really good at holding onto those things, or really good at losing/breaking phones

flashgnash,

Ah yes, phone cases I definitely use those

flashgnash,

I just buy durable phones, I very rarely drop them nowadays but if I do the worst that happens is a scratch or dent. Last two times I’ve broken a phone have been jumping in a pool forgetting it was in my pocket (usually buy waterproof for this reason) and falling on a rock with it in my pocket

First one no case would have prevented short of one of the ultra rugged outdoorsey ones, second one only the cases with the front cover flap thing might have stopped

Only time I’ve broken a phone by dropping it is when I had an iPhone 4 handmedown, I swear those things were designed to break

flashgnash,

Ooooh this might be exactly what I’m looking for

flashgnash,

I’ve been using the Niagara launcher, think it’s the one I like the most so far but not very customisable and no way to turn off the alphabet thing completely which I don’t like

flashgnash,

You can hide it in options but functionally it’s still there

flashgnash,

I’m sure some people like it. Personally I find it far faster to just type the name of the app than find the right letter, then hunt for the application

flashgnash,

Pssht they don’t even have AmogOS

flashgnash,

I can’t believe they’d miss such a cornerstone of Linux history

flashgnash,

Afaik piped is not an alternative to YouTube just a different client for it.

If everyone suddenly moved to piped one day both YouTube and piped would probably suffer

flashgnash,

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think piped is far worse of an experience than the default site/app

Doesn’t work half the time, can’t do 4k for some reason , audio is a bit scuffed and no recommendations

Don’t get me wrong I really want to like it but it has a while to go before it can get mainstream appeal

If YouTube has a major tragedy and people migrate to piped YouTube will find a way to block piped, it’s their database at the end of the day

flashgnash,

Or alternatively don’t put pants on but still get stuff done

flashgnash,

I think the problem there is that if the fediverse were to be adopted by the masses the general population wouldn’t pay attention/wouldn’t even care and just use whatever instance was most convenient for them, and if an insurance has a large proportion of users it inherently has power over the entire network

If meta entered properly like everyone thought they might, they could massively control the entire fediverse by threatening defederation with instances that don’t comply with their rules. Because they have so many users and generate so much content no instance wants to be cut off

That example probably wouldn’t work for the fediverse as it stands right now as we’re pretty much all nerds, dislike companies like meta and probably wouldn’t enjoy the content generated by its users anyway but it stands as an example

flashgnash,

I get that, that was the whole point of that comment is the likes of us wouldn’t want to interact with Facebook but as I said that’s just an example.

Imagine the chaos if Reddit implemented activitypub, or discord with their threads feature, or even just a new instance like world that snaps up a lot of users for one reason or another, plays it safe for a while and acts benign until they’ve got the bulk of the users and then starts imposing their rules on other instances

flashgnash,

Kodi is kinda klunky and old fashioned imo

flashgnash,

Qt and not gtk?

flashgnash,

I’m currently using expo it just doesn’t feel like a very well featured language and doesn’t seem maintainable

flashgnash,

What’s DZ? Google search didn’t come up with much

flashgnash,

Yeah that’s what I usually do, tbh frontend frameworks seem kinda pointless to me. You’d think they’d be an improvement on regular js but no

The issue is making it a mobile app, as that’s the primary platform for this project (though might be better to just make it a PWA instead of using react native

flashgnash,

See I don’t like people who impose vegetarianism and veganism but I really wish people would have more respect for dead animals.

Disgusting behaviour from some people

Is there some FOSS or Linux native Battle Royale?

Hi, bth I never played fortnite, but I tried PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile and I honestly enjoyed the Battle Royale gameplay, and I think I’m kinda good at it given the number of times I’ve won, but I got tired of those games needing to download a shit ton of content and trying to make me pay for shit, so I haven’t played in...

flashgnash,

Totally accurate battlegrounds is pretty good and I believe it runs on Linux

As for FOSS you’re gonna struggle, most games aren’t

flashgnash,

It looks pretty though

flashgnash,

Thunar?

flashgnash,

Kinda like pxe boot?

flashgnash,

Bare in mind in this world this has been the case since the dawn of time, we’re not plopping existing humans with existing human physiology into this world

People would’ve adapted to live under these conditions to begin with so they wouldn’t be immediately crushed

Preventing long term damage would be on a similar level to ergonomic chairs, keyboards etc in extending and improving someone’s life

I suppose as for states of matter, higher gravity areas would likely have higher air pressure, be hotter and more humid

flashgnash,

Flask too

At what age and how do you tell children about the truth of Christmas?

I’m writing this as someone who has mostly lived in the US and Canada. Personally, I find the whole “lying to children about Christmas” thing just a bit weird (no judgment on those who enjoy this aspect of the holiday). But because it’s completely normalized in our culture, this is something many people have to deal...

flashgnash,

What’s this from? Thought it was Terry pratchett to begin with but not sure who Susan is if so

flashgnash,

I’m pretty sure I turned that off ~8-10 years ago and Google has just remembered it ever since

Also I use swipe typing so that probably helps too

flashgnash,

I like that it’s kind of the wild west, there’s no single way to do anything and you’re sort of on your own with it, which also means you’re free to do whatever you want with it.

Choose what software you do or don’t want, delete important system files if you really want to, break stuff and be allowed to fix it yourself rather than a company telling you what you can and can’t do with your own computer

As long as it stays like that it’s good how it is

More of the few games remaining that don’t run on Linux via proton making the slightest effort to support it would be nice though

flashgnash,

Nix might be what you want. Haven’t tried out the package manager on a non-nixos distro but it can be done

Massive package library, everything installs the same way and I believe it’ll run on any distro

I hear the aur is very good as well but I believe that’s arch only

flashgnash,

I didn’t even realise there was a native Linux build. Often surprises me when I look for proton settings for one reason and another only to realise it’s not using proton

Often actually change it to force proton and the windows version though as it actually tends to run better

flashgnash,

I’m really not sure even Microsoft could get away with that

The moment a subscription service comes into play for something they take for granted as free people will start looking at alternatives. Chromebooks and macbooks exist and from what I hear Chromebooks are starting to become serious competition for Windows

Plus Linux desktop obviously getting more user friendly and preinstalled on laptops
