I wonder which will kill you first?

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Despite the cuts and everything, they were still warned of the potential of floods. The camp chose to ignore it.

You mean the guy that publicly bragged that owning the Miss Teen USA pageant allowed him to go backstage and ogle naked underage girls is hiding the Epstein list? You don't say.

They DID see it coming, but they thought they were part of the in-group that wouldn't be affected. A disturbingly large number of us Americans are A-OK with fascism because they think they'll reap the benefits with none of the downside. We love punishment when it happens to The Other.

Doesn't matter. People are already blaming weather services even though they DID forecast and warn if floods. Camp just decided to ignore it.

Another commenter recommended Flatseal. I now have it installed and I'll give it a shot when I run into an issue.

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not the individual apps, no. Figured it might be something more systemic with Flatpak itself or my system. Was expecting to be pointed to logs to investigate.

The Deb installs mostly. Example, when I installed Lutris, it wouldn't allow me to install games on the extra NVMe drive I have in the system. I uninstalled Lutris and installed the deb version from the Pop Shop (when you COULD do that) and it allowed me to install games where I liked. Just chalked it up to a Flatpak problem. Now I have Lutris installed, use it without issues, and I'm not going to try and solve Flatpak issues by re-installing it. It's not worth my time.

I'm not looking for specific app help. Just had so many issues with different apps installed with Flatpak that I figured there might be something in the system or Flatpak itself that I needed to look into. I'll use Flatseal the next time I have an issue to see if that helps.

Currently, any flatpak apps that don't work properly are installed with other means, so I don't have any non-working apps . If I run into that again, I'll give it a try.

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social -1 points 1 month ago (8 children)

No use using flatpak if the installed apps won't run properly. Be nice if they did, but they don't.

Calibre
Discord
Filebot
Lutris
OpenRGB
Proton Mail
ProtonUp-QT
Spotify

Only apps installed that I haven't had issues with flatpak:
Handbrake
Shortwave
Tor
Putty

Likely a few more that I uninstalled in frustration. And I'm not 100% sure about Handbrake. I stopped using it for the Blu-ray rips, and stuff that interacts with the filesystem tend to break the most in flatpaks.

Hey all, with camp just a few weeks away I'd like to reach out to you and see what you would like to see. After all, this is YOUR forum much more than it is mine.

Anything you'd like to see from me? Any kind of content you'd like to do or take over? Anything I'm doing that annoys the hell out of you?

Generally I've been trying to do an opponent preview on Monday/Tuesday, game thread, and post game thread. And yeah, I've missed occasionally. Sorry.

Let me know what you think.

 

So just got my computer switched over to Pop! OS.

When I open the Pop Shop, the installers don't give me an option to change the location of the app installs. I have 4 disks, 2 nvmes, 2 hard disks. I would prefer to install some of my apps to the 2nd nvme, which I have mounted to /Apps. Mainly the games I will play, along with Stream and Lutris.

Would I need to install from the terminal with apt or nala? I installed nala because it looks cleaner, but we'll see.

 

Joining Pavel in the 2024 class are:
Shea Weber
Jeremy Roenick
Natalie Darwitz (US Women's National team forward)
Krissy Wendell-Pohl (US Women's National team forward)
David Poile (builder category)
Colin Campbell (builder category)

Congrats to the Magic Man!

 

Bates signed a 2 year deal with the Lions after visiting the Packers and Commanders. Bates gained attention in the UFL while on the Michigan Panthers, where he kicked game winning, 64 yard and 62 yard field goals. He was 17 of 22 (77%) for the Panthers, including 7 of 7 from 40-49 yards and 6 of 10 with 50+ yards.

Interesting they gave him a two year deal instead of a one year prove it deal. Maybe they anticipate him winning the job?

 

Lions sign Goff to a 4 year, $212M extension, with $170M guaranteed. The $53M AAV makes Goff the 2nd highest paid player in the NFL, behind Joe Burrow. For now.

St Brown gets 4 years, $120M
Sewell gets 4 years, $112M, becomes highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL.

Draft starts tomorrow and now we only have Goff left to get done.

 

The Lions have matched Brock Wright’s three-year, $12 million offer sheet with the San Francisco 49ers.

While LaPorta may be our #1 going forward, Wright played 44% of the Lions' snaps. He's still a big part of our offense.

 

One year deal, but details haven't been released yet.

 

Reynolds signs a two year, $14M deal with the Denver Broncos.

Guess DPJ is WR3 for now.

 

Detroit Lions cornerback Cam Sutton is wanted in connection with a domestic violence incident in Florida.

Not the news we wanted to hear.
