Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?

I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don’t notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don’t have a screen that can display...

Yes, every video you download or stream is actually compressed quite a lot, the bitrate just determines how much compression is applied. Higher bitrate means the file is bigger and less compression is done, while low bitrate means the video has a lot less bits to store all that data and so has to do more compression.

Please tell me what calculator app is as nice as a physical calculator, I haven’t found one yet

I played with my friend over Discord and somehow we got matched with each other the first time, so we didn’t get to play with strangers or anything. Still was fun though.

If you’re looking for a similar type of game, I played GRIS recently which reminded me quite a bit of this.

I use Geddit occasionally, I don’t know if it supports voting or commenting though since I just browse.

Gamescope generally helps with alt+tab issues.

How is Backpack Hero by the way? I played the demo years ago and liked it but haven’t bought the actual game yet.

Sounds kinda like NixOS, although that’s not platform-agnostic.

I actually do this with NixOS impermanence lol. The things I need are symlinked from a different partition and the stuff I don’t need automatically gets wiped clean.

You can also run the game at 1080p and use FSR to upscale it to native resolution, that’s what I often do on my 4k monitor.

On System Settings’ Night Light page, the time input fields for manual time mode are no longer a nightmare, because they’ve been replaced with a set of spinboxes (Natalie Clarius, Plasma 6.1)

Oh thank goodness, that page has always felt a bit weird.

I can play games and watch videos in HDR though

There’s a Tab Discarder extension that suspends old tabs so they’re stored on the drive rather than ram.

@Klaymore@sh.itjust.works avatar

If you can’t fix it you could try running the game inside Gamescope, it can help with weird alt+tab issues.

Switched like a year ago or so, not really any difference on my AMD pc and Intel laptop. Now I need wayland for HDR on Plasma 6 so there’s no way I could go back personally, as well as the great multi-monitor and fractional scaling handling.

Technically, the morning is when the sun rises and night is when the sun sets. The sun decides to set earlier and we just have to go along with having more night.

You mean… a prompt that needs a second click to run the program?

I would avoid Razer mice, I got two Mamba Elites and both of their mouse wheels are broken/bugged (if you scroll in one direction it scrolls back and forth, or scrolls twice when you want to scroll once). My sister got a Deathadder Elite and its mouse wheel is completely broken.

I picked up an Anker vertical mouse for like $12 from a used PC parts store and it’s been working just as well in my opinion, pretty comfortable and still has a working scroll wheel.

Of course you could also buy a drawing tablet and set it to mouse/relative mode and play with that, which I did for a while, but the lack of a scroll wheel stops you from playing some games.

If you run mpv https://url it will stream it from youtube and play it in mpv, without having to wait for the whole video to download first.

Usually I expect to have to troubleshoot problems with Linux

I’ve been daily driving Pop!_OS for about two years. I’ve had to troubleshoot and look up how to solve problems here and there, but it has largely been pain free. About eight months ago I had to dual boot Windows 10 because my wife wanted to play Hogwarts and for the life of me I couldn’t get Linux to stream to the client...

Big fan of Strawberry, the UI looks pretty bad by default (on windows) but since I’m on KDE Plasma it follows my system Qt color scheme which looks nice. Still not super fancy but it works well. For managing my music I mostly just use a file browser and kid3qt or picard for metadata editing.

Wait… you can use a variable before you declare it?

    I think there’s a Steam Link app now which doesn’t use the physical device, or they might be using Steam Remote Play.

    It doesn’t really matter which distro you use for gaming, just get one that is popular and well-supported such as Kubuntu or Fedora or Pop!_OS or whatever. Ones like Arch and Gentoo would be pretty complicated so I wouldn’t recommend those until you feel comfortable.

    What I do is have a separate /synced/media/music folder on both my pc and phone, and use syncthing for that and don’t worry about the default Android music folder.

    For playlists I do that on my pc with the music player Strawberry, I can add songs to a playlist and save it as a .m3u file in that same /synced/media/music folder. The playlists still work on my phone since it’s just local paths from the root of my music folder. I would do playlists on my phone as well but I use JetAudio which is pretty buggy and doesn’t let me modify .m3u playlists, although I’m sure some other player would let you create and modify them.

    I’ve been using NixOS and I’ve never had to worry about my system, because even if I did break it I can just wipe it and reinstall from my config files and it’ll be almost exactly the same as before.

    It was really cool seeing comments and upvotes change in real time, but I understand it was buggy and terrible for server performance and I’m glad it’s better and more stable now.

    @Klaymore@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Most distros are almost exactly the same, NixOS and Guix are a bit different but if you get Ubuntu or Fedora or PopOS or something they all work fine.
