aflicks…

isn’t this part of how the [insert number] eyes works?

I don’t generally recommend opensuse. The package management always made me go back to arch or debian. I would recommend trying it if you have a spare pc or space for a vm though.

I wish it was feasible to hve a large scale boycott of visa and mastercard. american express is already useless so it wouldn’t help much to include it…

mostly cases like “experimental/preliminary support for xyz but only if you compile from source or use unofficial repos”, video codecs in that janky era, assorted functionality now taken for granted, etc. Nothing really needs bleeding edge any more hence why I don’t use arch on my desktop any more and my server computers are mostly debian.

Yeah back then I was in elementary school. I chased single percent performance gains from bleeding edge because I couldn’t just buy better hardware. If you wanted the latest versions of anything ubuntu couldn’t do it without iffy unofficial repos and dependency hell. I did it anyway and it sucked.

If you compiled the kernel but forgot to rebuild the graphics modules you had to live cd in, because a 64mb usb stick was like 300 bucks back then and booting off usb wasn’t really a thing yet. Then next would be some janky terminal instructions off someones blog printed at the library because phones weren’t even moto razr and arch wiki didnt exist yet, then pray it worked and that there was enough time left in the day to do whatever stupid homework needed the computer.

I never liked the nvidia installer and it’s control panel that seemingly needed root then somehow fucked up the monitor config while not even applying the driver config, but it was all I knew as I never had a radeon until after the amd acquisition of ati. I also have no idea if the driver was always in kernel or if that was more recent but being able to compile a kernel with some silly buzzword feature that probably only situationally added 2fps to maybe one or two games and not risk graphics related boot failure was a game changer to my broke ass in the early days of working.

Anyway that was peak ubuntu era as I remember it. I mainly used ubuntu with spots of opensuse and some others here and there until whenever the r9 280 came out and then primarily used arch until the the early immutable distros showed up. Now even my dad and grandparents are on bazzite and my mom on aurora and its literally the best thing ever because they actually don’t fuck it up anymore and I don’t spend every waking hour on call for tech support.

I would actually recommend the nvidia image of bazzite since it takes the potential driver module and kernel mismatch problem out of the equation which IMO is one of the most annoying problems an nvidia user can face, and if it somehow bugs out anyway rollback is one or two keypresses away depending on if you hide grub or not.

Virtualization is possible with the boot flags and vfio if needed setup using the “ujust setup-virtualization” script. qemu/kvm, probably not virtualbox which also requires kernel modules iirc.

shopping is most certainly not one of those use cases

ah yeah that’s likely. I keep my stuff obsessively clean

my joycons didn’t drift but my brother’s did, all of them. I gave him mine and took my sweet ass time replacing the sticks in his. I put hall effect in one pair and pots in the other. Mine came back with drift. Then his second pot stick joycons came back with drift. I put hall sticks in all of them and so far so good.

My assumption is that handling of the controllers and the game’s stick use intensity come in to play.

anyone have that meme where the view of a driver of a cyclist with and without hi-viz and both are just the driver’s cell phone?

I just shopped on one side of the street, now please excuse me while I drive to the salon across the street.

I know 3 people that get mad at me when I don’t clear the dot for new inventory/lore items in video game menus by scrolling over each one

if it doesnt you should be able to map the button to aim the ball to also enable gyro

I had to drive the other day and was stuck in what should have been 15 minutes for 2.5 hours. People were doing illegal shit like driving on the wrong side for 2 intersections and blocking the third to get ahead. There are no bike lanes along that road at all and to get through that area I usually bike the trails and it takes me 25 min. Bike lanes just work

No mention on if this means you can independently map the undeeside paddles or not… I’m going to guess not. I’ll probably still wait to see how steam controller 2 reviews before getting any new controllers. I have some left but they have taken the used by all the guests beating and are held together with glue, shitty soldering, and 3d prints.

I’m saying I would rather have the value of the switch as more cash tacked on to that bonus. even if I worked at a game studio it doesnt mean I want to have a console without its overpriced games.

but since I’m pissing off nintendo slave-fanboys anyway, I suppose if it was received close enough to the release date of the switch2 and if I was fast I could potentially scalp it for more than the original cash value

I’d rather have a bigger bonus than a switch 2 but I guess it’s better than layoffs

we’ve been here a while now but its good to see the interest picking up again especially with m$ being more and more garbagey every minute

you can do this with any pc as long as none of the parts have issue in a linux distro. There’s no need to go out of your way to use a piece of crap.

I used to browse hackaday for days on end when I was a kid but “here’s a guy that installed a linux distro on hardware that he didn’t expect to work and it worked” isn’t the tier of article that drew me in back then, and is also a couple decades behind the curve for that kind of linux news.
