I get this perspective, but I don’t personally wanna use it cuz “costs advertisers” == “rewards ad companies” and it’s the ad companies I have a problem with more than whatever random company decides to pay for an ad. Punishing companies for intrusive advertising is great, but not if it’s making even more money for Facebook/google/whatever fucked up company is the actual driving cause of the ad industry’s state.

Me back when I needed HDR and Linux didn’t have it 😭

Fuck that platform, if it dies right now the world will be a better place overnight. That being said, I’m against it being banned - imo if we’re petitioning for anything, it should be to get governments off of it and onto better alternatives.

Yeah those are fair points, I don’t use any of them so when I say better I mean purely from the perspective of “it can’t be owned”. Mastodon has the option to just make your own server, or worst case even your own fork of the project, and the other two afaik just don’t have either/both so will always be vulnerable to enshittification.

I’m so torn between wanting people to get on the better platform (mastodon) since they’re already migrating and not wanting to disrupt this beautiful (but way late) exodus from shitter

Arch user and I don’t own a mug (it was bloat)

I’m a little bit biased here but it might be a good idea to use an instance like lemmy.zip instead, to minimize the amount of defederation going on.

…did we read two different articles? The only link I see is to Mozilla’s own blog, explaining their choices in a relatively positive way. I’ve seen the effect you pointed out a lot, I just don’t see it here.

When this is the case it’s nearly always a missing library the game (or steam?) didn’t declare as required, ime. If you start the game from the terminal you can usually figure out which library it is and get it up and running, tho it’s usually easier to just use proton

I like to pick a fun project, pick a language I don’t know / wanna learn better, and then just go for it. Don’t be discouraged if somebody’s already made it - nothing says your learning project has to be useful in the real world, tho it’s kinda nice if you think of something that can be. If your project seems intimidatingly hard, remember the programmer workflow of breaking it down into manageable pieces and tackling those. If it doesn’t seem hard enough to teach you anything, I sometimes like to write it without using any external code or libraries (or a minimum of them; if it’s something like a GUI program I’ll use direct vulkan bindings instead of like Qt). This is also one of the few areas I get some use out of LLMs, cuz bullying ChatGPT or a local equivalent into giving me huge and tailored lists of program ideas can be really helpful. Either way my main advice is just to pick something that interests you and have fun with it; things don’t have to be worthwhile to other people to be worthwhile to you.

That’s what I want to believe, but the beer doesn’t really fit my mental image of that situation lol

I don’t know if I’m more concerned about the couple selling, or whoever’s buying

Samsung in particular has “smart” monitors, so for some of them the answer is unironically yes

Glad to hear that! You might have some luck trying different proton versions with Deadlock (proton-ge is my goto) or checking protondb for anyone else’s results?

For you and/or anyone else whose instance might be defederated from lemmynsfw, here’s @Bigfish’s comment:

Re: your second question, I’m not at my pc rn so can’t give full details, but I’m running plasma on Wayland in arch using a nvidia card (3080) and everything’s flawless since the 555 driver update with explicit sync. Only thing that comes to mind is checking to see if you’ve set the nvidia-drm modeset=1 kernel parameter?

Also seconding @Bigfish’s suggestion about heat, try watching your temps while you game maybe? I’d also watch ram usage just in case something’s got a memory leak and is pushing you into swap.

It might look like that when the topic is Linux vs windows, but if you ever wanna see that coordination fall apart just ask “which distro?”

Personally my arch install is almost boring me with how stable it’s been - and if anything goes wrong, it backs itself up before and after every single update plus on every boot just cuz, so I can roll back to wherever I want. I’ve put a lotta work into building out all these redundancies I’m happy with, and arch has been so goddamn stable I haven’t even had an excuse to use them. The process of getting a complete install was absolutely not “it works” - but now that I’m there, yeah, it really does just work. My only complaint is that I don’t have any reason to tinker with it more.

Not sure I can articulate the difference well, but there’s def types of asses you find more commonly on women vs men and vice versa. That’s my attempt to group the types you find more commonly on women together - not very precise, but if you do a couple image searches for comparison it’ll hopefully be clearer.
