And communism is where the mouse gets arrested for having the cheese in the first place. Great film, The Witness. Everybody should watch it at least once every five years.

There's a package called activate-linux that puts the activation warning overlay on the screen in case you ever feel homesick.

A screenshot of the EndeavourOS desktop with a text overlay in the bottom right corner saying "Activate Linux; Go to Settings to activate Linux"

...and there's Ubuntu advertising its pro subscription in the terminal.

And don't you wish it weren't.

Anti-intellectualism as a defence. Nice. Abandon grammar and take language where an LLM can't follow. Surely we'll be able to tell a text written by a human from one written by a machine if the human writes it like a dumbass, I can't see anything wrong with that. i mean why even use proper punctuation and capitalization an ai wouldnt write sumthin like dis isnnnt it better you can tell a human wrote dis

Have I made my point?

You're not getting downvoted for the LLM thing. You're getting downvoted for doubling down on a stupid argument. Em dashes -- and en dashes for that matter -- have legitimate uses in the English language. One symptom does not make a diagnosis. English is barely a respectable language in the first place. Dumbing it down even further to satisfy your preconceptions is, simply, stupid.

Be warned that Windows Update can see your other partitions. It ate my boot partition, then choked on it and took the entire system with it. That was the last time I had Windows on my computer.

Fanatec will need an extra kernel module: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

The first question you should consider is whether you actually need a gaming distro. I've been using bare-ass Arch for both gaming and development and haven't had any performance or stability issues I didn't cause myself.

From the two options, Nobara is likely better for a beginner. It's based on Fedora, which has good support ~~and doesn't do anything fucky with the kernel.~~ (it does, the kernel is built with patches and custom options)

Cachy is based on Arch, which in itself requires a more in-depth knowledge of the system and/or a willingness to learn. The performance improvements they advertise with the customized kernel and scheduler options are really only relevant if you want to squeeze the last bit of performance out of the system. Your day-to-day experience will be the same.

Low effort meme while flatpak update finishes.

I understand why having eight very specific versions of the same library is important. Doesn't mean it isn't annoying.

TranscriptFLATPAK EMPLOYEE: what would u like?
ME: one flatpak update please
FPE: so u want "a whole bag of updates?"
ME: no, just a "flatp-"
FPE: I definitely heard "more updates than u could ever handle"
ME: please, no--
FPE: JERRY, FOIST UPON THIS MAN "A FUCKASS LOAD AMOUNT OF UPDATES"

It's a Creative Zen Stone that I got as a Christmas gift in 2008. I just found it in a drawer, and it's still holding charge. The last thing I put on it was The Life And Times Of Scrooge by Tuomas Holopainen, in 2015 -- I don't know why, at that time I definitely had a smartphone.

It has a headphone jack, which immediately makes it better than every smartphone produced in the last several years, and it can easily drive my 80-ohm Beyerdynamic. The audio quality is as good as one can expect. The only drawback is that it only holds 1GB... my old CD rips had to be compressed to hell and back.

Let me reiterate that this has been sitting untouched for a decade and was immediately ready for action. No login, no annoying software updates, expired subscription, or remote bricking by the manufacturer. Eat my shorts, Spotify Car Thing.

P.s. A Lifetime Of Adventure is a banger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWwSVOo5K_k

LED lights are great, but I miss having a mini hot plate on my desk to mindlessly touch and burn my hand.

(Do kids even watch cartoons these days, or do they go into scrolling withdrawal before the first commercial break?)

 

I just tossed a fistful of pistachio shells into my mouth.

 

INTERFACING [Trivial: failed] - The umbrella bounces off the side of the bin with a clang and a clatter. It comes to rest on the cold concrete, in the middle of a puddle of trash juice. It is no more pitiful a sight than before.

Philip Rebohle, DXVK's founding developer, stated in an interview that he started the project "to get one specific game to work". Later, he explained in a forum post that he was a bit of a Nier fanboy, and that it was a relatively simple game to use as a test subject for DXVK.

Rebohle was later contacted and hired by Valve. Wine already had a D3D11 compatibility layer, but it wasn't nearly as far ahead as DXVK at the time. It's fair to say that Linux gaming wouldn't exist in its current form if not for one guy's appreciation for Nier Automata. Rebohle still works at Valve, currently conributing to VKD3D-Proton.

 

re: this article.

The title is a joke. "Free, but you have to make an EGS account" is a bit too rich for me.
