It’s not about the point. It’s bout how you can spin it.

Only thing keeping my windows partition alive is the pain it seems to be to set up sim racing gear and games and servers on Linux.

sfxrlz ,

How is it for racing sims ? Last time I checked it didn’t look too good in terms of wheel drivers and games running ootb on Linux, or did I just not look in the right places?

sfxrlz ,

No worries, I had already given up on it for now I was just curious if someone could convince me to fully switch, or rather point me towards some open source projects I could use. Right now I boot into win11 for gaming and into fedora for everything else. Thanks anyway!

Now I’m interested in the plot of watch dogs 2…

Edit: it’s indeed the plot of watch dogs 2

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_Dogs_2

In 2016, three years after the events of Chicago, San Francisco becomes the first city to install the next generation of ctOS – a computing network connecting every device together into a single system, developed by technology company Blume. Hacker Marcus Holloway, punished for a crime he did not commit through ctOS 2.0 …

Changed your outlook on ms world ^^

I never really gave gnome a chance until I came across bluefin recently. I was pleasantly surprised but the lack of customizability always drives me away in the long run. Im not against opinionated design, their opinion on how things should be just seems to differ from my own.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

I rembember adding an extra / to dev when using dd. I think I still haven’t fixed that system.

This is one of the songs that just always plays in my head when I read the line. There a a lot of songs playing in my head.

Smoking breaks help. But that also kind of defeats the purpose

Old McDonald’s looks like an „okay“ bad trip in this case

nvm that tree is creepy af

Yup that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up…

Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments (www.theguardian.com)

Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces. The images are fed into computer vision software and used to train the companies’...

Is it schadenfreude or do you feel for them?

sfxrlz ,

Jokes on you. I’ve been a drug addict before starting to code

sfxrlz ,

Nah I’m sippin that cold as well. gotta keep the caffeine high

sfxrlz ,

This, but trying to slap all of that into a ‚new‘ react app while not hardcoding every damn input.

sfxrlz ,

Even though they’ve been into some predatory micro loaning schemes in the last last years (opera)

sfxrlz ,

Nah but I can’t get my legs to fit properly on any bus nor plane and I’m not even really tall (around 6ft I guess)

sfxrlz ,

It ain’t much but it’s honest work

Until you get a qwerty ^^ English international ftw

How is it even attributed to singular ads for example ? Isn’t that kinda impossible ?^^

I wish I had enough time and fantasy to come up with such bullshit. I’d still use it for something different probably^^

Edit: she is so sincere it’s killing me

sfxrlz ,

Suprised pikachu face

sfxrlz ,

Google chrome ads have been getting really obnoxious lately even though I only see them when visiting friends who don’t have an adblocker. Needless to say I use Firefox exclusively and only fire up chromium for work once in a while to see how stuff behaves in different browsers.

Edit: makes me wonder why chrome is marketing so aggressively even while their userbase is by far the biggest.

Yet they preemptively pass on data from Chinese users over to the government to save „business interests“

I can barely imagine how funny that must have been

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

I did that for my desktop because it has an tpm1 chip. Works like a Charme but for example the volume slider is still the windows 10 one. And what would I need windows hello for except for Logging in via faceid or something like that?

sfxrlz ,

thanks for explanation. I hope my Install doesn’t randomly break because Microsoft decided it should do so. I’d hate to throw windows away for some lightweight foss distro /s

Edit: only reason for not having moved yet is just my lazy ass

sfxrlz ,

Yeah I have been down that hole too it’s mostly all the online logins and sessions that I have collected over years of using that os(windows) and pc and some old data that I don’t really want to wipe but also don’t really wanna go through the hassle of copying the important stuff off of windows.

Also some of the games that I played used to have such obnoxious anti cheat systems that I couldn’t imagine the hassle to get them to work to be worth it but thanks to the steam deck adoption has increased immensely since I last tried gaming on Linux.

Wsl2 doesn’t quite do the trick for me it just makes me want the whole package but I use it for programming because I don’t know windows shell commands for shit and everything is tied into windows/ms at work^^

sfxrlz ,

That sounds very good I think I’m gonna try that, thank you.

sfxrlz ,

Well it’s whatever serves best at the moment ^^

sfxrlz ,

How the fuck is it not allowed for boys to wear long hair ? How stupid do you have to be?

sfxrlz ,

That’s even more messed up but fits the bill.

sfxrlz ,

Fucking Clowns. Being a shareholder means you aren’t buying their shitty printers or what ^^?

sfxrlz ,

Kids ? I despise them too but they are sooo catered towards kids and young adults esp. with the flavors.
