atro_city , to asklemmy in What is an event that altered you in some way?

I was in a sport team for a while and they hadn't been treating me well for a while. One day, I slipped and fell during training. Instead of somebody helping me up, the majority of the team laughed at me. Something in my mind snapped that day and it nearly led to my first ever physical altercation. However, my punch just turned into a feint with the thought "fuck this, I'm out".

That was the day I learned not to let things boil until they explode. Put me into any salad and I'm not the calmest cucumber, but I have never let things get that close again and always speak up or just straight up leave before getting too heated. Life's just too short to stay in a bad situation you can get out of.

@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Neither, since they are moneyless and post scarcity. We honestly don’t have a word for whatever they are.

Google doesn’t, didn’t and likely won’t implement communism, so calling Google communism is as Marx said…

GarbageShoot ,

The most textbook definition of communism as a political-economic organization (rather than an ideology) is that of a “stateless, classless, moneyless society.”

stoly , to mildlyinfuriating in I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

If you have a membership, check out Costco. They often have really good prices on this sort of thing.

I’ve read your update but try Terminator. You use alt + arrow keys to navigate multiple on screen terminals, create new ones with ctrl+e/o and its my favourite. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Sunny , to linux in my thoughts after using arch as my first distro

Nice write up, thanks for sharing 🌻 Not tried it myself yet, but will do soon just for the learning part.

ghjones , to linux in Why is OpenSSL able to use a key file my user shouldn't have access to?

Just to verify all permission-related things in one go, see if you can open the key as your user with an editor like vi or nano. This will let you separate out some behavior specific to OpenSSL vs some behavior purely permissions-based.

I’m not sure what’s happening here, but the above test can at least narrow the focus.

I would have been more impressed if you had done it all as a mirror image of South America in the shape of Africa.

I’ve never had an issue here. Only comment thats ever been removed straight up called for violence and I get that. If you’re running into issues the answer is probably introspection.

FBJimmy , to linux in Switching back to Windows. For now.

I’ve been 100% linux for my daily home computing for over a year now… With one exception… To be honest I didn’t even try particularly hard to make gaming work under Linux.

Instead I have a Windows VM - setup with full passthrough access to my GPU and it’s own NVME - just for Windows gaming. To my mind now it’s in the same category as running console emulation.

As soon as I click shutdown in windows, it pops me straight back into my Linux desktop.

Extrasvhx9he , (edited )

I do something similar but instead of a VM I just have windows installed on a separate hard drive and just boot up from there when I need it (I don’t play games though)

taaz ,

Do you have a dual gpu setup for this or is there a virtualization feature I don’t know about yet

infeeeee ,

Search for “vfio single gpu”, It’s possible, but it has drawbacks. Iirc you have to run everything as root or something like that.

Another recommended way is to run a headless linux as host, and passthrough the gpu to a linux guest next to a windows guest, than you just switch between the guests

FBJimmy ,

Single GPU with scripts that run before and after the VM is active to unload the GPU driver modules from the kernel.

I think this was my starting point and I had to do just a few small tweaks to get it right for my setup - i.e. unload and reload the precise set of kernel modules that block GPU passthrough on my machine.

At this point from a user experience p.o.v it’s not much different to dual booting, just with a different boot sequence. The main advantage though is that I can have the Windows OS on a small virtual harddrive for ease of backup/clone/restore and have game installs on a dedicated NVME that doesn’t need backing up

worldeater , to linux in Switching back to Windows. For now.

My personal experience has been that Linux is great for general use, and quite a few verified games. But anything multiplayer with anticheat, games that are regularly updated, etc, it’s a constant struggle. So I have a separate hard drive for windows on my gaming desktop and, in general, mostly use Windows on that machine (with a lot of tweaks like openshell). But all my other devices I run off Linux and it works out fine.

Kualk ,

Dedicated gaming machine or dual boot is a way to go.

I played steam on Arch and one update of OS and game stops working.

Despite claims, Windows gets better outcomes. I played a lot of World of Tanks Blitz and the same hardware on Linux was significantly lower graphics quality and FPS compared to Windows.

@rozodru@lemmy.ca avatar

really? anticheat causes you problems? weird. been playing Elden Ring all day with no issues.

I also play a couple MMOs which update constantly and haven’t had any issues with either.

bhamlin , to linux in Switching back to Windows. For now.

Which distro were you using?

moon , to asklemmy in Sorry for the potentially controversial question: is it normal for less attractive people to settle down with partners they don't find physically attractive?

If you don’t find someone physically attractive, how do you settle down with them? Do you just accept getting into bed with someone you’re physically repulsed by every night?

The outrage is actually for the opposite reason: he wasn’t elected.

But yes, it is a ridiculous double standard regardless.
