My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

They were trying to run it cracked through an alternative launcher.

jawa21 ,

How else are you supposed to boil wine?

jawa21 ,

But the cropping makes it almost unusable.

jawa21 ,

There is a community, but it isn’t open for whatever reason. I check every now and again.

jawa21 ,

I’ve seen much worse effects in Hollywood feature films. Incredible.

jawa21 ,

With one employee that is only visible for 10 minutes of every hour, and that time is entirely spent stocking, making you wonder how there are so many boxes strewn all over the store.

jawa21 OP ,

Yeah, no. As soon as I looked into this it requires subscription. Also, the GUI is suspiciously old. Like GNOME from 15+ years ago old.

jawa21 OP ,

Nothing specific right now. I’m just trying to get some protection. I’ll do what it takes!

jawa21 OP ,

This is a step forward, but actually using DistroBox is confusing. I’m at the low end of an intermediate user here and don’t see a direct way to get the .deb pkg.

jawa21 OP ,

It isn’t that I am unwilling to pay. I am incapable.

jawa21 OP ,

No P2P with free Proton.

jawa21 OP ,

I actually don’t know. It was a one and done snap install.

jawa21 OP ,

I admit that I screwed up somehow. I got eager and followed an old search result. Not sure how to fix that or if it is worth it.

I need help getting EverQuest running reliably

I’m running nobara currently as my distro, but these issues persist after trying Pop!_OS and several other distros with help from forums etc. Be it pure WINE, Proton, or Lutris installs across multiple distros and drivers, the game will work perfectly for the first run. Afterwards, the game will immediately crash after...

jawa21 OP ,

Here’s the issue. I don’t play P99 and don’t want to. I play on live servers.

jawa21 OP ,

Yeah, I get that. I consider P99 to be a completely separate game, though. I need to run current live server raids.

jawa21 OP ,

No, I haven’t done that. I’ve only done the typical install tries. I’ll check that out now, thanks!

jawa21 OP ,

This is helpful, but that’s Debian based and I’m on Fedora. There will be… complications.

jawa21 OP ,

You are right. I am just frustrated and need to take a break and read it tomorrow.

jawa21 OP ,

Reply to your edit. Please let me know of the game will work correctly after the initial run. That is the whole issue. Works great… once

jawa21 OP ,

Yep. I got it. The guide got me most of the way. Some things that I’m guessing are related to DX11 are still broken (mostly textures), but at least the game runs reliably now. Thanks for all the help!

jawa21 ,

Maybe I’m blind, maybe it’s me viewing this on a phone, but I legitimately can’t tell the difference.

jawa21 ,

He would keep the linear networks, plus Paramount+ and operate the streamer more efficiently (Good luck with that).

Good luck indeed. We’re all counting on you.

jawa21 ,

I’m hoping that maybe (just maybe) he realizes the value of adding all of Trek.

jawa21 ,

I have to hold out hope at this point. I refuse to make my entire personality the ownership of a peg leg and a parrot… for now.

General Dynamics. I used to be able to tell about a month ahead of time when a U.S. air strike was going to be in the news because an order for missile parts would come in from them. It was always creepy.

jawa21 ,

Heh kinda. Machine shop specializing in non-metalic materials.

We have that. It is a mastodon bot. I don’t remember what server it is on, but tagging it will set the reminder.

RTL-SDR is basically a way of using a digital device as a broadband radio. That is an oversimplification, but that is the idea. There are cheap USB devices out there that will turn a PC into a ham radio receiver (among a really wide range of other bands like weather satellites). I have no idea how they are doing it with Android, however. Maybe using the phone’s antenna.

jawa21 ,

I almost hate to recommend it, but r/rtlsdr is the place to go.

jawa21 ,

Indeed, but everything you need is there. And I’ll throw one in for free and it is awesome to get started: websdr.org

First thing I did when I moved out was eat an entire roll of cookie dough.

jawa21 ,

A conveyor would make the most sense.

Things like this are why I am mostly glad to still be using xbmc on my original hacked Xbox. Not much space and I have to deal with FTP, but it still works a treat.

I’m not defending this, but this is an extremely common practice in the US.

jawa21 ,

You forgot the pop-ups, forced midi music, easily injected malware, difficulty in verifying sources, html frames that frequently broke, the entire concept of needing a site map, fucking keywords, true banner ads that could force clicks with Javascript, and RealPlayer to name a few. I don’t miss it at all.

@fediverse Is this a title ?

So... Theoretically this should be visible from Lemmy. Hi Lemmy users ! Greeting from Mastodon !

I see this from Lemmy. Hi.

Uber shuts down alcohol delivery service Drizly three years after its purchase (www.engadget.com)

Back in 2021, Uber purchased Drizly for $1.1 billion shortly after it reported that its food delivery segment kept its losses manageable during the pandemic. Three years later, the company is shutting down the US-based alcohol delivery service, Axios has reported. Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, Uber’s SVP of delivery, told the...

jawa21 ,

The one time I’ve had an alcohol delivery come up, it was a case of beer from Walgreens at like 9 pm. I got there and the store was uncharactrtistically closed. I can only imagine how pissed they were finding that out.

His time as the mascot was so weird.

StarTrek.website has updated to Lemmy version 0.19.3 (Clear cache/cookies in browser or remove+re-add account in app if experiencing login issues)

We had been waiting at 0.18.5 for a while because 0.19 came with some federation bugs (and obviously it would be extremely embarrassing if this instance had issues in that department)....

jawa21 ,

Thanks for the info. I had wondered what was going on. Glad to see the features from 19.5 here.
