Yup. Yesterday, I was shocked to find out my favorite soccer game of all time PES was completely free of charge. It is now called “e-football”, but you guessed it, microtransactions everywhere. It did have a whole store for buying “coins”. Me being me, I’ve just been playing for free and having the time of my life 😂

penquin, (edited )

I’ll just stop playing it when it gets to that point. I have never and never will pay for a single microtransaction. Plus, I don’t really play a lot of games anyway. I don’t even play daily. You know, life, work, kids and all that stuff. I can barely play a couple of hours a week anyway. :)

penquin,

Thank you :)

penquin,

Imagine how Apple will feel if Google got docked for this. Apple’s app store is even worse. You can’t even side load apps on an iPhone/iPad without jailbreak.

penquin,

Do you have a method that keeps sideloaded apps “verified” permanently? If you do, please do tell. I’d love to install YouTube++ on my kid’s tablet so they don’t have to sit through ads all the time.

penquin,

Thank you so much. I’ll check it out

penquin,

Man, these foldable phones never appealed to me nor even made sense. I can never justify paying so much money for something like this. They’re just made weird and impractical. Their aspect ratio is weird on the inside and outside. The creese is something I can never get over. The risk of the screen cracking in the middle from folding and unfolding so much is another thing. You have to baby these things. I just can’t, and I think they’re just a gimmicks. Still rocking my Galaxy note 20 ultra from 2020. The thing is still running like a champ. Zero issues. Let’s all face it, phones have plateaued and companies are trying to excite people with “something new” and it’s not working like they expected it to.

penquin,

Yup, forgot about that one. Nah, I’m cool with my slab phone.

penquin,

Nate looks like my older brother. Like an almost carbon copy 😳

penquin,

Lol. They’re so close it’s creepy.

penquin,

How do those “officials” find these OF accounts? 🤔

penquin,

But but but, what are those “officials” doing on OF if they think it’s “bad”?

penquin,

We appreciate you being a loyal subscriber. For that, we are going to fuck you. Sincerely

penquin,

I’m just waiting for my daughter to get enough of storybots so I can shit on shitflix.

penquin,

And then he drops it into his lap. After all that struggle, he drops it into his lap.

penquin,

Not to talk shit about Mac users, but in this day and age with how advanced technology is, you have to be insane to buy a Mac. What kills it for me is that nothing is upgradeable on the damn thing, like zero. If your internal drive dies, you’re SOL. And if I got this correctly, they now have the bios OS on the same drive, the Internal. So, you won’t even be able to get to your bios. You won’t be able to install the OS on external hard drive in case you needed to. This is insane and I can never understand why anyone would buy into this shit.

penquin,

I guess that’s reasonable. I personally can’t see myself ever getting one for the reasons I’ve mentioned. But hey, everyone does what makes them happy.

penquin,

I get the fast and the battery life and all that, but by principle, I just can never own one. I also never buy any windows laptop that is not upgradeable. I keep them for a while and want to be able to upgrade them. That’s why I’ve been thinking of getting a framework laptop.

penquin,

Damn, that’s sounds so painful. One more reason why I’ll never buy one I guess. lol

penquin,

I love how gnome apps look so neat and simple. Never knew about this one. Thank you.

But we are cool, though. We are sending 100 billion to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. We can manage with a $100 for groceries for the whole month, but how will poor Israel be able to murder children if we stop funding them???

Edit: glad to know that I’m being downvoted by those who support Israel murdering civilians and children in Palestine. Please keep the downvotes coming. Fucking unbelievable. Downvotes don’t mean shit on Lemmy, but it’s good to see people’s true colors.

penquin,

I just want kde on Wayland not to have blury font with fractional scaling. It’s just unusable. Once that’s fixed, I’m all set to use it as my daily driver.

penquin,

Nice

penquin,

Just your regular 27" 4k monitor. If I set it to 200%, everything is fine, but things are huge. I have to have it on 175%, and that makes the font very blurry. Also, any window decorations that are not default plasma get blurry, too. I’ve already posted about it in the kde instance and zamunda (a KDE dev) said it was fixed in plasma 6. So, I guess I’ll just wait it out.

penquin,

Oh trust me, I do log out then log in, it just doesn’t work. I’ll try again to double check.

penquin,

I honestly can never imagine Linux without KDE plasma. It has its flaws for sure, but at least I can modify the shit out of it to force it to meet my needs 100%.

penquin,

Absolutely. Gnome is becoming gorgeous, but its workflow is not for me. Also, all the missing things that I have to add extensions for is just not ideal. I just re-create the gnome theme in kde when I miss gnome. or just install it in a VM and enjoy for for a little while. Otherwise, kde has always been where I belong.

penquin,

I would use it if it supported 4k better. Every time I set the resolution to 4k and the scaling to 2x, the whole UI gets jacked up and something can’t be clicked anymore. Window bars stay really small. The panel gets all messed up. That’s basically on every single distribution I’ve tried with xfce

Get any stick that runs android tv or fire TV and install freetubenext smarttubenext. Ads gone.

penquin,

Get any stick that runs android tv or fire TV and install freetubenext. Ads gone.

penquin,

Yup. Let me correct that. Freetube is a PC app that I have installed on my Linux machine. Lol Thank you for the correction :)

penquin,

That’s our fucking tax money, that’s what’s killing me. We are indirectly funding the killing of all of these innocent people. I hate life.

penquin,

I’m talking about us, the people. Our government has been funding this shit for years.

What's the difference between package manager and why are there so many?

Are they so different that it’s justified to have so many different distributions? So far I guess that different package manager are the reason that divides the linux community. One may be on KDE and one on GNOME but they can use each other’s packages but usually you are bound to one manager

penquin,

Imagine having only one option, and that option is dnf. I’m out. I don’t want Linux anymore.

penquin,

Not much really. It is great, but slow as shit and makes me want to toss my computer across the room. I just want to install one tiny 5 kb package, I don’t want you to take 10 minutes checking all the RPM fusions repos and go to the moon and back then install my package. No, just install the damn thing. I’ll ask you when I need you to check that long list of repos. 😂

penquin,

Not sure. I have fedora 38 in a VM and it’s still very slow.

penquin,

Ok then, I’ll search it up and install it.

penquin,

I’m a pacman/yay guy myself. Haven’t used apt for too long. Even when I run something with apt, I install nala

penquin,

I actually did install it. I hate to judge it in a virtual machine, but I’ve noticed a small difference. It’s still slow, but not as slow as the other one. Fun fact, the only reason why I don’t use fedora is that I hate their installer. I have 3 drives on my PC, and I’m so scared that I’d mess things up and lose my photos/videos/games etc 😂 The installer is so confusing. I remember figuring it out once then just forgot it again.

penquin,

Same here, that’s why I have 3 different drives in my PC, 512GB nvme ssd for root, 1TB SATA SSD for home, and 2 TB SATA SSD just for games/emulation and steam

Be careful, your understanding of incognito mode in Firefox may be wrong and that could be costing you

All the incognito browser windows share the same “session” in Firefox. So say you open an Incognito window to browse Facebook or something, then you open another Incognito window, this new incognito window is linked to the previous incognito window, meaning you are logged into Facebook at that new Incognito window as well....

penquin,

I use containers for everything. Best thing Mozilla has ever done.

penquin,

I love your username.

penquin,

😂

penquin,

You mean that very loud thing that causes ear damage when it passes by?

penquin,

How is your deductible and max out of pocket? You don’t count that? Lol I don’t run into too many people who say anything good about our healthcare scam system.

penquin,

That’s not what I heard/read. It didn’t happen to me.

penquin,

No, I didn’t. I watch my bills closely. When I heard about this, I started watching my account even more closely waiting for them to do so I can strike. Looks like they stopped the whole thing before getting to me.

penquin,

That video made absolutely no sense to me. 😂
