I am using a immutable Fedora since January and it has been great so far.

I can totally imagine an innocent couple sharing a cute nickname like snowflake and then having it ruined by the rest of humanity who are out here in the culture war trenches

Nibodhika , to selfhosted in Confused about Podman

Use docker, once you’re comfortable with it then switch to Podman. Podman has a few more complications, so it’s easier to get the base thing running using the most common tool, and work from there.

MightyCuriosity OP ,

Yeah this might be the smartest way. I thought I could do both at the same time but it’s probably more than I can chew.

tmpod ,
@tmpod@lemmy.pt avatar

This is a good suggestion. Docker is more mature and has more resources, so it’s better to learn the ins and outs of containers. After getting comfortable with it, you can move to Podman and have a much better time tackling its peculiarities regarding permissions and rootless.

I used Docker for years and only recently decided to give Podman a try, porting my Lemmy instance to it.

ChonkaLoo , to piracy in PSA: Download on your hard drives, never trust online hosting.

Thanks for reminding me. Yeah I need to backup my ROM library of old games. Got most of them from Vimm’s lair earlier this year. They had to take down a lot of the games shortly after cause threats of law suit from Nintendo, Sega among others. It’s just absurd many of the games on there are not even available legally anymore.

FrostyCaveman , to linux_gaming in Gaming on Linux is great!

It’s been drop dead easy for me too in the past few years. Almost all of my gaming is through Steam and the Proton mode is like, a few extra clicks. It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even need to consult ProtonDB for runtime options now.

For old games there’s Lutris and its install scripts are a fuckton easier than trying to manually wrangle shit together (no matter what OS you’re on) which is even better

In fact, my completely non technical (and, notably, non programmer) friend noticed what my experience is like and as a result decided to dual boot on his new gaming rig. Mind blown. I didn’t even do any evangelising or shilling, I guess the best evangelism is just practicing what you (would) preach

I think dual GPU situations like laptops are sometimes a bit of a pain in the ass though from what I read.

I’m using a GTX 1080 Ti and nvidia’s legendary fuckery hasn’t impacted me

I’ve been blown away at how much support and effort has been poured into Lutris! Helping people get started who don’t know much

FrostyCaveman ,

Oh yeah it’s fantastic. All the time spent building those scripts too

fixmycode , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?
@fixmycode@feddit.cl avatar

Apotris is an excellent famous-block-stacking-game clone for the GBA (and other platforms), it has a version for Portmaster that will run on many if not all Linux handhelds like the RG35XX and similar, but will also run in any GBA emulator.

Thank you!!!

f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4 , to retrogaming in [Solved] Arcade Emulation Help, OnionOS

Samples were used on older versions of MAME before the custom audio generators were emulated. They can be found at samples.mameworld.info and would go in the “samples/bosco” directory.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Thank you! I’ll try it later!

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

It works! Thanks so much.

For anyone else seeing this in the future with the same problem, the zip was labeled “bosco” for the audio files so I used it with the ROMset called “bosco”. I placed it where @UsuallyLurker said and I no longer get the warning and the audio works great.

@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

I think you’re not understanding the intended slam.

‘Snowflakes’ are special and unique. (Notably, their crystalline pattern)

Every snowflake is special and unique. (Every single one has unique environmental factors that form their unique shape)

If every… ‘thing’ is special and unique, no ‘thing’ is special OR unique.

It’s basically saying “you value your perceived characteristics higher than they actually are valued in the grand scope”

Defaced , to programmer_humor in Principal Skinner on Immutable Distros

I tried bazzite, unfortunately I had some odd quirks that I can only attribute to an immutable OS. Things like window and UI scaling wasn’t consistent. My mouse cursor would blow up to twice the size when hovering over one window then shrink back down on another. I can only guess this is because the base filesystem is only readable and it can’t write any values for scaling on certain themes/window decorations. While not a huge deal, it comes off as sloppy and inconsistent. It’s not a great user experience and first impressions are everything. It’s easy to make a first impression, it’s damn near impossible to make a second one, and my first impression of an immutable OS has been soured. I installed mint 22 and it’s been a completely different experience, from window decorations, to time shift backups, system updates, Bluetooth, cinnamon theming, it just works out of the box with little to no setup.

bloop , to asklemmy in Have you noticed an increase in political fighting?
@bloop@eepy.express avatar

@Thespiralsong @asklemmy look up "normal distribution" for details but.
The normal distribution of any opinion will naturally show that the largest number are BETWEEN extremes. As in, in the middle. So for the majority of people and the majority of issues people will find that half of their concerns are addressed by one party and the other half by the other party.
The most extreme views are just yelled the loudest.

JohnDClay ,

But echo chambers and polarization can increase the standard deviation, bringing down the opinions in the middle. Now may topics might even be a bimodal distribution rather than a normal distribution.

maccentric , to mildlyinfuriating in McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron.

The McDonalds in my area is pretty amazing (Silverthorne CO). There’s always like 10 employees and it just hums in there. I only ever order from the app; I get a large fries no salt and a large unsweetened iced tea for $2. The fries are always fresh (no salt is key) and they are ready within a minute of me walking in the door.

dmtalon OP ,

Appreciate the comment! That said, I’m not looking to find ways to better my McDonald’s experience here :)

I just need to build that time since I was at McDonald’s back up. I wanted to vent after seeing the story about price likely causing their 1/4 results. I think there’s more to it.

maccentric ,

It has to cost them more than $2 in materials and time for my order; I’m slowly putting them out of business ;p

dmtalon OP ,

Haha

Xenny ,

As a fry jockey. Fuck you. I make all fries fresh to order but all you assholes online just tell people to order no salt fries to be “fresh” it might work at McDonald’s but lemme tell you where I work a no salt fry is made at my convenience and set aside because making a no salt fry means WIPING DOWN EVERYTHING COVERED IN SALT It is not a “hack” eveywhere.

Every other goddamn online order is “no salt” but also extra cheese, double bacon, extra pickle. It slows things down so much I’m actually trying to get no salts for online orders banned.

maccentric ,

Hey friend, sorry about that, but there’s just way too much on them otherwise. I end up wiping them down with a napkin and giving up after a handful if they have the typical amount of salt on them—I don’t know how people do it

Xenny ,

If you just want less salt I forgive you. If you are trying a fast food hack to get fresh fries when you would have gotten fresh fries anyway then that’s what makes my blood boil

pr06lefs , to asklemmy in Have you noticed an increase in political fighting?

I talk to people who are against corruption, against racism, believe the medical industry is broken, monopolies are bad, etc. Seems we agree on a lot of basic principles yet they are still voting trump tho. WTF?

LarkinDePark , (edited )

The other choice is another genocidal Zionist. I don’t get the confusion.

EDIT: The correct choice is not to take part in the charade and not be complicit in America’s crimes against humanity.

Netanyahu wants Trump to be the next president for some reason though?

Probably feels like he’s squeezed all he can out of the other party. Time for some fresh meat.

StaySquared ,

It doesn’t matter who is president. The U.S. has been hijacked. Eliminate dual citizenship politicians, AIPAC, and ADL… and we will start to see actual changes that benefit the U.S.

Until then, every single politician that goes to the Western/Wailing Wall is an enemy of the people, of the world, essentially.

Talmudists, Kabbalists, Khazars, and Frankists.

Yes appears most people have a lot more common ground than it they would expect, but everyone is convinced their candidate is the way to best fix things. I believe this is why there is so much focus on social issues like what bathroom people should use instead harder things to fix like monopolies.

The biggest difference btwn the parties is one is still down playing climate change caused by global warming, and that is objectively wrong.
