Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 1st
  • I was playing a ton of Baldur's Gate 3, but I decided I needed a break on it after getting to Act 3. I'm currently playing Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire for the first time and enjoying it.

    Steam Hardware & Software Survey - Go Linux! :)
  • I use Garuda and love it, but I also don’t think it’s the best for a first Linux distro, unless you’re good with needing to consistently use the command line for things, and you are interested in learning more about Linux and want a distro that requires you to occasionally get your hands dirty.

    From what I’ve seen, Linux Mint is a great first distro. If you want something that’s more purposed to gaming, then Nobara is great. It’s made by GloriousEggroll, who makes Proton-GE. It’s not going to be as new-user friendly as Mint, but more so than Garuda.

  • False alarm everyone. I run Garuda but have been playing around with Nobara and I filled it out on both distros on the same machine. Sorry to get everyone’s hopes up.

    Is the destruction of Twitter and Reddit a conspiracy or am I just paranoid?
  • This ^^. It turns out that Elon is just a narcissistic idiot who doesn’t actually have good business sense, at least in the software world. The types of things he’s been trying are better explained as someone who wants Twitter to make more money but doesn’t understand how people actually think and behave and doesn’t realize that these decisions will alienate users and destroy the product. Spez decisions seem similar, although on the whole I think he’s less of a people idiot than Elon, and is probably just under tons of pressure to improve the financials right now and is making bad short-sighted decisions as a result.

  • Hi all. Hoping this is an okay place to post this. I have a quick wefwef question. I blocked a community and verified that posts from that community don’t show up in my ‘all’ feed on Beehaw.org. I’m logged in to wefwef on my phone, but posts from that community are still showing up in ‘all’ in wefwef. Is this expected behavior? If not, does it just take time? (It’s only been a few minutes.)

    EDIT: I just checked back in and it seems to be working. I’m guessing it just takes time.

    What petty hill will you die on?
  • American here: I fully accept that Monday as first day of the week makes more logical sense, but my brain can’t reverse years of programming. I get very confused and make mistakes if I look at a calendar that starts on Monday.
