Yeah, he’s also been working on misinformation campaigns to try to hide that fact. Be really careful who you accept presents from this Christmas.

Definetly Santa’s nice list…

I’ve only had it quite that bad once when I just rebooted and it decided to pull an update. After that the bios was unable to find any of the bootloaders on my system. (Fixed with a lot fiddling from a liveusb. Is a dual boot system but I haven’t touched Windows on it since 2023)

These other ones just made it unusable. Another time on a laptop it pulled updates in the background and would crash itself just after login. (Needed to be reinstalled and I lost some data which wasn’t backed up yet. setup by manufacturer)

Then on a different desktop system it just would bsod every few minutes, barely leaving time to go through logs. (I finally fixed it by changing a BIOS setting and reinstalling Windows, setup by manufacturer installed Linux on a separate drive and it was fine until the drive malfunctioned)

This was not a crash, just a thirty minute delay. A couple of days ago that device did an update without me even logging in. I accidentally started windows, then immediately selected reboot in the power menu before entering a password. It then ‘prepared’ something and told me not to reboot, bypassed grub, rebooted again, bypassed grub (after I missed the bios), rebooted again back into grub.

How am I the only one who does have annoying issues like this on Windows (except that Windows only gives a useless error code at most) while Linux has failed to boot a total of once (without me explicitly changing nvidia drivers).

I’m still going to ask how you ended up with a server CPU. Does it help with the tasks you do?

Ah, I don’t have an app store. That would explain why I have never seen it.

That just displays the command or is there a browser extension that runs it for you too? Most Windows apps certainly don’t run by just clicking a button either.

Do you have spies behind you when playing cards too?

I saw it’s on nix too.

Wait how do you install flatpaks? I add the remote (if necessary) and then install it from there. That is nothing like I have ever seen on Windows (though apparently there are package managers).

I think providing human rights to it’s citizens is definitely more important, not sure if it is necessarily the primary one though.

So just don’t let them join/kick them from your server?

The fix that @who@feddit.org (installing the game-devices-udev package) fixed it for me without having to switch to the version of steam from my native package manager. Thanks for the idea though, I had been considering trying it before but in the past the graphics drivers seemed to work better for me when using the flatpak version.

Okay wow, I had no idea that package existed and I haven’t seen any mentions of it before. Installing it from the AUR actually fixed it for me. (LEGO lotr seems to work at least)

Thank you for that tip, can’t believe the solution is so simple, lol. (I have already spent multiple hours trying to fix it)

I have only ever used the controller in it’s wired mode since it’s easier and I never play from more than 5m away from my computer.

Would you mind explaining how this fixes it? I have never looked into udev rules.

Idk, I saw a post on pornhub stats on I believe a map community that showed that cuddles were quite a popular tag. And if it’s wholesome and comfy looking why not?

I’d just write C and get annoyed by the #includes having different names.

Aren’t they there by default?

I was attempting to warn them so that they unplug the Linux drive when updating windows too.

Same thing applies to Windows.

Yes earlier it looked like it wasn’t symmetrical (to me), now I just don’t like that the eye crosses the imaginary edge of the box.
