Oh yeah, definitely this. If it doesn’t break down in water, it won’t break down in the pipes.

I want this specific update now. Actually so much better.

I want part 2 like, yesterday. It’s such a good game, I’d play it day 1 no question.

I’ve been tinkering with Hyprland myself this week. Your layout looks pretty nice.

Yeah, I feel that man. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again though.

Ugh I had to get an obscure PCIe card working a few years back and it was a huge pain. I believe I ended up having to find the broadcom chipset by model because the generic brand driver didn’t support it, then the arch repos didn’t have the driver for the model, and there were several aur packs available that I had to try one by one. And it was kernel module loaded, so each was a reboot.

Absolute hell of a time, probably about 5 years ago.

I’ve had this happen. I never did figure it out, personally. I distro hopped a bit and eventually ended up back on Arch and it didn’t happen again, so I guess it was a bugged install?

Journalctl might be a great friend here.

Especially a decade ago before archinstall

These days it is comparatively easy.

I look forward to 5-10 years from now when the people who were kids now start pointing to this acquisition as the negative “turning point” for Blizzard because they liked Overwatch 2.

He joined Unity in 2014. I don’t believe for a second that a board of investors agreed on anything for that long.

abir_vandergriff , 9 months ago to asklemmy in [POLL] Do you use/require a headphone jack on your phone?

Color me surprised to hear that then. The few times I had used them, I couldn’t get over how uncomfortable they were for my ear (which is why I never used then much)

abir_vandergriff , 9 months ago to asklemmy in [POLL] Do you use/require a headphone jack on your phone?

That totally depends on what headphones though. Apple’s maybe, I wasn’t really too discerning last time I had some of those, but on Android it was a mess. Samsung had decent ones some years, Google’s were generally okay at best, and LOADS were just actual trash.

abir_vandergriff , 9 months ago to asklemmy in [POLL] Do you use/require a headphone jack on your phone?

I’m in the minority on this myself, but I fully agree. Honestly, I don’t even need the discount, tell me I can make a fraction less plastic waste and I’m pretty much there. When I got a new phone a couple years ago, I just put the cable at my desk so I had a spot to plug in misc stuff, but I definitely didn’t need it.

abir_vandergriff , 9 months ago to asklemmy in [POLL] Do you use/require a headphone jack on your phone?

Let’s be honest though, included earbuds were pretty universally garbage and the world is probably better off without the ewaste.

That said, please bring back the headphone jack.

abir_vandergriff , 10 months ago to linux in Fuck it, give me your most OVERRATED Distros

Last time I tried to get Wayland on KDE a few months ago, it was a bit of a pain to get it working properly and then it was pretty buggy. Admittedly this was months ago, on Nvidia, and regular updates on making it better have been coming pretty consistently.
