To be entirely fair this is much less of a “tick the Linux box” solution, you actually have to program thing differently to work on Linux in that case. They obviously have the resources to do it but it’s less infuriating than the literal single click it would take to enable EAC on Linux on $game.
My father, who convinced me (16 m) at the time to move in with him instead of my mother when they moved. All 3 of the other siblings stayed with my mother. He then kicked me out the week I turned 18, a week into my senior year. Since then he stays in touch only to speak with his grandchildren (now going on 4 kids). I have never...
My mom kicked me out when I was 18 and I was homeless for 2 weeks. She took me back in when uni started.
This is one of the reasons I don’t speak to hear anymore. At all.
This year, she sent me texts demanding to see me on my birthday. I did not speak to her. At all.
I am now waiting for her to die and for one of my siblings to inform me. Apparently, my sister (who lives in another country, we don’t talk much) is also done with her and doesn’t talk to her at all. I guess our brother will let us know.
What I’m getting at is that you are under no obligation to cater to people who don’t want to tolerate you in the first place. If a guy you lived with for a while was an asshat and demanded to see your children, you’d think he was demented. But suddenly he nutted in your mother once and now it’s fine? Family means nothing on its own. Family means you have a default group of people you interact with, but it’s up to each individual to actually be friends and allies with their family members, and if someone isn’t being a good friend or a good ally, and even is actively antagonizing you, then why do you still feel like you owe them anything? What do you mean “finally getting to the point you should accept it”? Accept him into your life? Why?! What good will that ever do to you? Oh sure maybe you’ll get to think “well I made amends before he died” once he’s dead. Guess what, if you’ve never held a grudge against him like you seem to imply, then it’s actually not up to you to make amends. Don’t tolerate bullshit from people just because they happen to be related to you.
I own poggers.website which is always funny when I tell people to look at my “poggers website”.
At some point I tried to register chee.se so my email could be [email protected] but unfortunately it’s a 4-letter domain that spells a common word, so it’s squatted to hell and back.
It’s much less funny than it seems. Inside jokes (that way the next time someone makes the joke, you link them thejoke.com or whatever and that’s a bit funny, or just phrases that sound hilarious when you’re on discord at 5AM (I used to own poggers.ninja which I thought was incredible for some reason)
While technically this is a maybe, in practice you really don’t want both the source and the receiver to be on wifi because you have to wait for the deck to send a wifi packet to the router before listening for the same packet from the router to the quest (yes this is a bit backwards but it is how we do wifi), everytime.
A deck on an Ethernet adapter os probably gonna work better, but you still have the problem that currently VR on Linux is extremely hit-or-miss. I have a windows install on a separate disk specifically for VR purposes on my main computer.
Today we are sorry to announce that we are not able to bring the Libera Chat bridge back online. We have already begun working through clean up tasks, such as clearing ghosts, and expect to be done by December 22. If you see any bridge artifacts left past that point, please let us know....
The main problem here is that IRC moke libera has a lot of random ephemeral users who join once and leave soon after. For the bridge, this means creating a matrix account on the instance and either deleting it, which creates problems down the line and is inefficient, or leaving it be, which means the instance fills with a crazy number of inactive accounts really fast.
The title says it all, looking for.idea son what could i run minecraft server for me, gf and kid to log into from time to time to play. For now i host on my laptop and then play from the same machine but was thinking about having that separate.
Buy a used laptop or a a desktop (nothing fancy, office desktops can do the job) and run in on that.
If you can get your hands on one raspberry pis from the 3 onward will run Minecraft server okay. They don’t consume much power but they’re also much less powerful than a used desktop.
First of all, libre office is very competent but I understand that it’ll always be very behind whetever Microsoft decides to do next.
Office is available on all systems at office365.com if you must use Microsoft tools.
For the non-tech usage, very much yes. Most of the problems your hear about with linux stem from people trying to make it do stuff that you can’t dream of doing on windows because it will stop you. Simply installing a system and using it to browse the web, edit documents, maybe install a few popular programs like VLC or Discord is set-and forget. System installers have recently gotten much more noob-friendly as well, imo the debian and Pop!OS installers don’t really allow you to mess up. KDE is a good choice of DE, but you might be more confortable with others. Good news, you can decide later, as switching desktop Environments is easy and preserves your files.
everyone’s experience with gender is different, that’s why online tests don’t really work. you might not want to call yourself trans despite feeling like you don’t fit in your AGAB, just as wel as you may call yourself trans even if you do feel like it. it’s all a matter of what makes you comfortable and what that label means for you when you use it.
for example, in my local LGBTQ+ community, transgender is viewed as a term specifically for people who still fit in the gender binary (MTF or FTM) but not non-binary people. I think that is horseshit and NB erasure, and as a non-binary person, i use the term trans anyway to describe myself, despite not being ‘trans’ in the way my local community would use it.
i can’t tell you that you’re trans or that you’re not. that’s for you to decide. what i can tell you however is that cisgender people don’t cry about not being born a woman, but i’ll give you that they don’t generally ask themselves these questions in the first place. you also may or may not (again, up for you to decide) be genderfluid, where the gender you feel like may fluctuate.
as far as experimenting with your gender, there are many safe online spaces in which you are free to experiment with pronouns, names and labels. as always, labels are not fixed and neither are people, so feel free to change a label you describe yourself with if you feel like it isn’t you anymore. a label is a language tool that you use to communicate with others about what you experience. if i tell you i am bisexual and nonbinary, i am offering you information about how i feel about myself in a succint way, just like i could tell you what city i live in and that would tell you some things about myself.
Absolutely no worries, that was much more of a commentary on my local community who should know better. It’s totally ok to make mistakes as long as you don’t make them on purpose ( and I don’t even think you made one here, I was pointing out my own experience) :)
I suggest looking in the sidebars of various LGBT subreddits for discords, at least that’s the spaces in which I’ve felt the most free to be myself. I am partial to discord.gg/lgbtqplus but there are many.
Turns out only the top players get long queues with this system, so they’re the only ones going into the not-skill-based queue and the wait times are still long; anyone not at the top then gets matched exclusively against top players and that’s no fun for them so they keep to the skill-based queue.
Please consider putting it slightly away from the furnace. Chances are by the time you notice a furnace fire, go there and try to take it, you now own a very burnt or at least extremely hot fire extinguisher. Put it nearby but so near that a fire would destroy it before you could use it.

Yes, they can. There are app-specific folders in .local that flatpaks can read and write to specifically for this purpose, and also the file picking dialog may give access to the one specific file you picked.
Android IMO has great usability in exposing a database to apps, which means they aren’t required to ship their own database engine.
Isekai is “normal fantasy setting” but you must explain everything to the MC, which is useful because you had to find a way to explain that shit to the audience anyway.
Most of the problems in the current internet landscape is caused by the cost of centralized servers. What problems are stopping us from running the fediverse on a peer to peer torrent based network? I would assume latency, but couldn’t that be solved by larger pre caching in clients? Of course interaction and authentication...
Fediverse instances with image hosting are bandwidth limited, but that’s just a normal result of image hosting. If you remove image hosting then the bottleneck becomes processing power again.
Sure, but data storage is quite cheap these days. I’m not saying it isn’t a problem, but a 12 Tb raid goes a really long way, or AWS s3 charges pennies per GB per month and solves all your problems if you’re prepared to spend tens of dollars per month.
Bandwidth on the other hand is either inaccessible (read: you have a normie ISP that has at most 2 speeds to sell you and neither of them have guarantees), or extremely expensive, on the order of thousands per month. On top of that, if you happen to pay AWS for storage, each request must be forwarded to AWS, converted in some way by your server then sent to the client, which means it eats both up and down bandwidth. Of course, if you know what you’re doing you can use Amazon’s CDN but at this point administering your instance is a full time job and your expenses are that of small company.
Its on the low side but still within reason. Its not just an OS, it’s an OS, a full steam install, a web browser( actually 2 of them because steam also packs an embedded browser), a desktop environment, HD animations, HD wallpapers (several of them) and it adds up quick.
I just plugged the steam deck in to a monitor and while I was transferring some roms and started to wonder if it would be feasible to use as a day to day computer while docked.
Apart from the obvious problem of launching it (though surely there are scripts for this) when connecting to an external display, desktop mode launches KDE which is an extremely capable desktop environment. What more would you get out of a desktop distro, and how useful would those things be compared to losing big picture mode on startup?
More of a hip tracker. while the main use of fulbody tracking (increasing immersion in general) is SFW, there is definitely a cybersex scene where it comes in handy.
They were historically good at input devices because they were the only ones with enough weight to get manufacturers to stop fucking around and use xinput, which guaranteed their hegemony with normal controllers for a long time. 5-10 years ago, it was basically impossible to get a normal controller (ie Xbox or ps layout) that was not approved by Microsoft, working in all games.
Today, the Dell XPS-13 with Ubuntu Linux is easily the most well-known Linux laptop. Many users, especially developers – including Linus Torvalds – love it. As Torvalds recently said, “Normally, I wouldn’t name names, but I’m making an exception for the XPS 13 just because I liked it so much that I also ended up buying...
I used to buy computers for a research lab as part of my job, we had a contract with dell.
Overall dell’s entire market is made of companies like the one I used to work at, that signed a nice contract with 5 year on-site warranty, bulk order rebates and the like.
These (or the ones they sold 3 years ago, at least) aren’t that bad. They’re not exactly good, but you have a Linux laptop with some manufacturer support (as much as you’re getting with windows at least) and they’re capable machines, with good drivers and they come from the factory with Ubuntu if that’s what you tick in their custom order form they give you when you sign that contract. As the guy in charge of fixing the computer, its nice knowing that its not the Linux support for the laptop that’s trash.
I’m shopping for a new NVMe SSD drive for my laptop and with the second deciding factor being Linux compatibility, I’d looked up the names of specific drives in the source code of Linux and discovered that their controllers have quirks that have to be worked around....
Considering what specific nvme drive to use on Linux hasn’t been a real problem for at least 5 years, especially if you just plan to stick it in a laptop. Just buy a drive from a reputable brand from a reputable source.
If powershell wasn’t a Microsoft product I think it could easily outclass any shell currently available. The concept of command output typing is hand down one of the best features of any shell I’ve tried.
for example if i replaced a text file in a game with a symlink to a modified version of that text file somewhere else on the machine, would the game still be able to read the file?
I am building my personal private cloud. I am considering using second hand dell optiplexes as worker nodes, but they only have 1 NIC and I’d need a contraption like this for my redundant network....
Nice idea if you actually have the rest of the redundant network, uplink and all that jazz (otherwise you’re wasting time and money).
the reason this won’t ever be a product is because if you’re serious about your redundancy you’re installing extra NICs inside the servers, which are ideally not second-hand. the only people who would be the target market of such a product is just you.
also: do these servers not have pcie slots inside? is there truly no way of adding nics inside?
Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave's functionalities. For me did Brave's "forgetful browsing" feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

Linus fucked up his os by entering the command that prompted him “are you absolutely sure this is what you want to do? if you don’t know, then it isnt.” and presed yes. windows does the same when doing a factory restore, if you click “yes i’m sure” then that’s on you. yes, ideally steam worked and he wouldn’t have had to try to fix it, but that kind of thing happens all the time on all software, linux just gives you the option of fixing it yourself instead of going “welp i’m not using that”.
this fix-it yourself mode of functionning is really what sets it apart from other OSes, for examp,e if you have a windows problem good luck finding anything beyond “have you tried dism /online?”, which by the way is also a console command and is like the very first step in all windows troubleshooting.
as for gaming, I daily drive debian and i’m not really encountering any setbacks beyond the obvious “this game developpers is incapable of making a linux anti-cheat so it won’t run on there at all” problem, or its cousin “this game developper is incapable of going into their EAC dashboard and click ‘enable linux support’” (yes, it is that easy, i have done it personally).
Also worth mentionning that Linus is accused by ex-employees of misconduct, and is generally an asshat when it comes to technology despite being a technology reviewer.
No, the steam install failed, and he went looking for solutions and one of the potential solutions he found literally says “proceeding might break your system, continue?” And he said yes. The thing that broke his system had nothing to do with steam apart from being recommended by someone somewhere to fix the issue he was having.
