Up all night, and all you got to see was a boob

Sometimes a boob who spent the previous night compiling a custom webcam driver. :(

Kinda disagree on Never Split the Difference! Listened to the audiobook of it and found it to be a good primer on the basics of negotiation, something I profoundly lacked, was never taught, and had that used against me on more than one occasion.

Nothing mind-blowing, but for the price of free from my local library, I feel like the techniques gave me a little confidence in the process.

I do agree that a lot of these books could have easily been WAY shorter but try to sell you on value by page count lol.

Goes double for anything using that trend of trying to make it seem hard core by putting random censored explitives in the title and the text.

That said… I got all the self-help I need from Self-Help Singh LOL.

I’m a huge Krita fan! But like others I mostly use it for the drawing and painting.

How is it as an alternative to GIMP? (Which I use for simple cut and pastes and that kinda thing.) I haven’t actually been able to figure out where the wall is that says “No, use GIMP for this.”

Does GIMP maybe have better filters and layer operations and that kinda thing maybe…?

Saaame. There was a while there where Wayland didn’t work on the repo version so I had to go full manual, but otherwise it’s been almost perfect now, Wayland and all.

LOL isn’t that the truth. I wanted my desktop to not bother chugging watts through my 3090 and generating excess heat when barely KDE Plasma and a browser is running, but trying to set up GPU offload just left me with a blank terminal screen.

Thank God for the geniuses who implemented Snapper rollbacks in OpenSUSE! Otherwise, the Nvidia drivers in the repos work fine and I’m scared to touch them…

and if it bugs all you can do is wait for the devs to fix it for you.

We need a decently-hardwared Linux phone so badly…

People can do whatever they like, and heck I find CLI intimidating sometimes, but I’m always learning something new a little bit at a time.

I’m tired of seeing it in every field of interest that has any kind of payoff, whether art or FOSS.

“I’m [(almost always) a guy] who (maybe has kids and) has a job. I stopped learning anything after I got my job-paper / degree / highschool diploma. I shouldn’t have to learn anything anymore. I am happy to shell out disposable sad-salary-man money (and maybe my soul idk) to any mega-corp that offers me a “create desired outcome button” without me having to think too much. It’s [current year]! I shouldn’t have to think anymore! Therefore Linux is super behind and only for nerds and I desire its benefits so much that I leave this complaint anywhere these folks gather so they know what I deserve.”

Agh. I gotta go before this rant gets too long lol

Hey, points for Lutris! Thanks for sharing!

I’ve had issues in the past installing stuff with Lutris, although for advanced scenarios like using community engines and stuff, that’s really cool. I definitely have both installed on my machine for different reasons. Lutris handles EA / Origin stuff pretty well. (Titanfall 2 and Sims 2 Ultimate (not the Steam one) run beautifully on Linux, truly glorious!)

Electron annoys me as well, but I will say that I appreciate how Heroic hooks into GoG APIs. It handles auto-updates, cloud saving, play time logging, that kinda stuff that made Galaxy decent and had a degree of convenience-parity with Steam.

(Maybe Lutris does this too now?)

For a complete newbie , I’d say Heroic has a bit of a smoother and expected ramp to just “Download game and run.” But if you want more control, Lutris definitely has more options!

I also can’t recommend Bottles enough for other games that aren’t from distribution platforms. Shockingly simple.

Off the top of my head:

Gmail or any email: Thunderbird is pretty sweet and I need to use it more, but mostly just use the web clients anyway.

If you own GoG games, you can use Heroic Launcher instead of GoG Galaxy. It’s gotten amazingly good, really fast. :)

It was gonna be twins but they deduplicated, so conveniently the one simply holds a reference to the existence of the other one.

Honest question: I thought this limitation was the purpose of exFAT? 🤔

I don’t use it much myself though so I’m not sure.

I can’t help but try to phonetically call it “BUTTERFURSS”. O.o

This comment descended more into bizarre whimsical madness with every paragraph lmao.

I don’t know what to do with all that VERY specific knowledge.

Anonymously tip it to regulating authorities?

Or the news, to force a resolution and get some amusement?

Maybe I’m too much of a keyboard vigilante lol…

Yeah I find prepositional F-bombs to be annoyingly juvenile. I remember lots of people in highschool who would get a mind blank and go

“Like…fuggin… Whatever” to connect their thoughts lol.

An “um” is okay. LOL I’ve had to somewhat train this out of myself too… As my mind randomly blanks mid-thought quite often lol.

Well, like all the attitude of Terry without the genius to back it up. The “about” pages and stuff just read like your typical “One superior genius started this company” grift myth.
