Chump , 25 days ago to linux in Vulkan 1.3 on the M1 in 1 month | Asahi Linux

True, but the M1 MacBooks have really taken a beating in price. And the Airs were already quite a good deal to start with, so they do still seem competitive (8GB RAM notwithstanding). Been using a base model air since launch, and unless I hit swap super hard (I rarely do) it’s still great :)

Chump , 2 months ago to asklemmy in Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

How in the hell has George Saunders not been brought up wtf?

Having not read the story: sometimes humans shoot at other humans who they have been trained view as subhuman

Chump , 3 months ago to worldnews in Israel to restrict access to Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan

The real question is: aren’t Jewish people mostly not Israeli? To which the answer is: yeah of course most Jewish people aren’t Israeli don’t be silly

Chump , 7 months ago to gaming in SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck'

Aside from native proton, being able to do everything (easily) from the controller. It’s amazing how often you still need a mouse, or just the windows key, in windows :(

Excel does always seem to be the thing people can’t substitute, which is weird because it doesn’t seem terribly more complicated than Word (?)

I think this is a difference of use case. I use mine for writing long-form prose, so the dry out times aren’t an issue (though I do sometimes slip it into the cap if I’m considering where to go next). The skating is nice because I don’t have to put too much pressure on the pen and get hand cramps. I also like refilling the pen once it gets low, but I have a piston filler so that happens less often than with cartridges.

All that said, if I had to use my fountain pen to take notes in school again, I would absolutely hate it. Quick, random note taking is basically a worst case scenario for a fountain pen, so I do see where you’re coming from. Glad you’re happy with the ballpoints :)

It’s good, Bront

Outer Wilds, like all of it. Falling into the black hole made me actually scream in terror, then shiver for how small being away from the solar system makes you feel. Also the quantum moon, and that ending holy fuck

Loving that is quick proof that I’m a lib :(

Chump , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?

Fountain pens. Honestly, most people look at me more weirdly when I mention a nib’s feedback than when I mention the means of production.
