Glad to hear things are improving and you haven’t given up!

If you haven’t already check ProtonDB for compatibility on your steam library! Anti cheat is usually a no go but some games will work. Non steam games you’ll have to check something like Lutris/Heroic for support.

Thanks for linking the guide, totally slipped my mind!

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but if you’re using stock Pop_OS it uses xorg by default as the compositor which iirc has issues with multiple monitors on different refresh rates. You can edit your .config file to enable the Wayland compositor and give it a try and see if it works!

Working at a gas station, most of the truckers that came in would call me “boss” or “chief” which I thought was funny. Like “thanks boss” or “how’s it going chief”. Not sure its for everyone but its certainly neutral in my eyes.

This is a good example for investment in renewables or at the very least, nuclear power.

This is the way. You can avoid the funky Satan’s anus portion like normal and you get to open it incredibly quickly. Bonus you get two halves that are easy to use for peanut butter + banana ‘hotdogs’.

Relocate next to a reactor, plug in your 400GW GPU, and still get 30fps in flight simulator.

Artisan makes some quality deskpads if you are interested in spending a little extra. Otherwise a generic deskmat will do the trick and you won’t be too worried about dirtying it or ruining it.

Can’t say I’ve run into Linux oriented mouse/deskpads but it’s likely one search term away!

I’m surprised this number isn’t lower than half already. I figured by now, any shows airing regularly could simply be streamed right from the source rather than waiting for a timeslot and ads.

Or is there a reason to keep using cable over streaming?

Eczpurt , 2 months ago to asklemmy in to those of you who get bored at work if there's lots of downtime, why?

As long as you can keep busy that way it is fine to have those jobs with downtime! The challenge arises when, for example, the workplace doesn’t allow personal cellphones on site or in the work area. Or perhaps there is an expectation to look busy all the time so you don’t have the leisure to read or write. I’ve had the luxury to have a job where I can relax a fair bit and have some enjoyable free time with your pastimes listed above.

My previous job was at a workplace with no useable internet, poor cellular signal, and no phones allowed while working policy. Very strict to always be doing something to look busy but when there is nothing to do it gets dreadful.

Looking forward to others experiences on this!

Just buy a pre built, take all the parts out and put em back in for the full experience. It really feels like a new build if you leave it apart for a few weeks so you forget where everything was!

That’s a Lobsturkey 'round these parts.

You could try Niagara Launcher. I’m using it and it’s got that decluttered home screen but it’s fairly minimal. It’s worth mentioning you do get most relevant features in the free version.

Eczpurt , 3 months ago to asklemmy in Jobs that I can study while doing?

I was grading seed at a grain processing/storage facility for a few years and it had enough down time during the evenings to do any schooling. I managed a full-time pre calculus to shore up my post secondary education requirements. My coworker ended up going back to college for programming and did a lot of his work on the afternoon shift. Our schedule was a 6am-2pm with little down time, and then an afternoon shift from 2pm-10pm with way more free time.

In my case, you didn’t have as much down time as some other quieter jobs but they paid ~$30 an hour so there’s value if you are looking for some extra cash. No prior experience required.

There was a 12hr night/day rotation for other parts of the facility where you’d swap every few days and get a week off somewhere in the mix but that schedule wasn’t for me.
