They pointed out Cronos was blurry using Proton. Looking at the footage, the same was true of Balder’s Gate 3. What’s up with that? Just a matter of sharpening? The resolution does seem to be the same by looking at the aliasing.

I can’t/won’t use the Android equivalent of this on GrapheneOS, so my only option is Telus or Koodo for Call Control which does work.

It’s a shame we slorp down all their propaganda and media of all varieties too.

Nah, he didn’t expect anything better than this.

Canada is right behind you, fucking embarrassing. If we don’t elect a fascist piss baby next election I’d be very surprised.

I bought the OLED new (ouch!) and it’s heavily used…exclusively at work. It’s just one of those jobs with way too much idle time. Cabin fever will set in without hobbies. I read books a TON buut it’s in cycles. Gaming right now. South Park Stick of Truth finished this set and I’m starting Fractured But Whole tonight because it was $3.50 on Autumn sale. The combat is worse but I love it so far anyways.

The screws are also self tapping in case you didn’t know, can be destructive putting them back in without being careful lol. Good luck.

Nobody thought? Carl Sagan did. Many did.

$140 is a steal, nice.

Reminds me of goldsrc / Half Life 1 allowing server hosts to send console commands to eject the disc drives on clients to scare them.

Tasty ingredients, mouldy vomit lookin’ slop.

I’d eat it. If I watched you make it first!

I thought that was Da Share Z0ne at first but no it’s an Aliexpress graphic tee if you want one.

Aw, I had completely forgotten about the Debian based version of Mint. That’s an excellent choice too of course.

Sure thing. Probably you’ll (most people) want a Stable Release or Long Term Service distribution to start with instead of rolling releases or bleeding edge distributions. I threw myself into the deep end to learn faster but not everyone wants that. I’m willing to risk breaking things beyond repair to learn, and have done so lol. You know yourself so that’s up to you.

I’ll give you my personal shit list if you like:

Pop_OS! I view System76 as incompetent after unfortunately owning a laptop sold by them. Long story, bad developers. Big regret.

Canonical is pretty notoriously awful now. So avoid Ubuntu and IMO stuff downwind (forks) of them. People really like Mint however, you can decide for yourself.

RedHat - Fedora is also making worrying decisions lately. Sad because I really loved Fedora. Second best repository to Arch/AUR. Again you can look up their controversies and decide for yourself.

Manjaro is infamously incompetent. Some diehard defenders, I don’t get it. Lots of needless breakage in updates and AUR incompatibility. I looked this up to make sure my opinion was still current. It still is.

My gold list:

I like Debian or OpenSUSE for stable releases.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for rolling release.

CachyOS for gaming optimisations and as a bleeding edge Arch fork. I also love Pacman and the Octopi repository front end using Paru.

They did once but never have. Four years later in a couple days in fact.

I’d need an explanation for gravitational lensing before I could begin to consider dumping dark matter. This might, so it’s at least interesting.

Modern Luddites, I understand the draw now.

It’s very easy to bypass TPM / Secure Boot requirements and install Windows 11 on Ivy Bridge, though I’d favour going Linux anyways and make a Windows virtual machine for stuff like if you can’t give up proprietary software.

That’s just me. If you want to install Win11: Basically you just need Rufus to make your boot-able USB stick and you tick a box to disable the checks. That’s it. On the same PC hardware it’ll HWID activate, don’t buy a key.

Or if it doesn’t just use massgrave activator found in github.

I’ve seen it done, does etching cause weak points? The modern crap. Can’t etch borosilicate.

It’s one contender. We’ll see where like-minded people flock to reactively when the hammer drops.
