I did, years ago, it worked perfectly. This was when DX9 was an option for it though, but given since then dxvk / etc. came out the DX11 renderer should not be an issue. In fact I'd be surprised if the game didn't run as-is without any tweaks.

I suggest using the gog version. appdb suggests installing vcrun2010 might be needed but again, test beforehand.

Opened your link and immediately came across porn

Please CW it

These days the GNU rm specifically warns you and asks you to confirm before proceeding

One of the multiple lemmy newcomers that defederated from us; in their admins' words, because we apparently "deny certain genocides".

@suspended@lemmy.ml what "genocides" would those be exactly ?

What's the browser you're using ? and also please do:

glxinfo|egrep -i "^direct"

You're looking for a line that says "direct rendering"; specifically whether or not it says "yes". This will help pinpoint if you're actually using your GPU or some onboard chipset instead.

With that being said, even assuming you use the latter, stuttering video playback in the browser is weird; if using firefox, out of curiosity: try to disable or enable hardware rendering (options > advanced > general), and try again. Switch it back to what it was when your test is done.

BIOS booting stays winning

Kraken, also by Mièville, is also somewhat of a match; as well as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

Thank you !

I stand corrected, that does look close to noscript's feature, thanks !

Though I don't know if it has a "whitelist mode" (all JS disabled by default everywhere but content still fetched) like the default noscript has.

uBlock Origin does not block javascript execution depending on the domain. They do not serve the same purpose.

noscript is essential security-wise IMO

because the capitalists, backed by fascists, are here to loot European countries and rip the wiring out of the walls as the profitability crisis continues

Healthcare-wise this is already well under way, at least in France and the UK.

That's a regular classic sadly, along with the other banger: "our US healthcare can't be free because we subsidize Europe's healthcare".

DVI should not control the monitor's actual physical controls - it does include a small non-display channel but IIRC that's used to get the display modes info from the monitor, and potentially to transmit contrast information and the like; some monitors will prevent you from adjusting contrast if DVI sends that info for example, but it certainly shouldn't disable the power button.

My guess would be a hardware issue - in the monitor itself - which is somehow triggered by the sequence in which you do enable the displays, and your system update being unrelated. It's a huge guess though. One thing to try is repeating both sequences (the one that locks your buttons and the one that doesn't) using a live CD - not a "nobara 38" one if such a thing exists, another distro. Trying both monitors on another computer would be an interesting test as well, although not necessarily that helpful (because if it doesn't occur there, it might just mean the issue is triggered by peculiarities in your graphic card).

Been on lemmy for three years and I've never really lacked for content though.

Ah, fair enough.

but instead of all of reality melting digitally disintegrating dripping all around you it's much more like the classic description of a near death experience/OBE.

That description doesn't match my DMT experiences at all; at threshold doses I'm always somewhere else completely, the world doesn't disintegrate around me, I go somewhere else entirely with no relation to my previous environment and I go there in seconds at most, it's almost instantaneous. And what's on the other side is indeed sometimes close to the classic description of NDEs.

How do people not think of that, putting a quarter of your income away monthly, so obvious, I wonder why they don't do it

Also a "retirement" implies a functioning biosphere in which to retire, fat chance.

Someone on Earth has decided to call the Trisolarans, major mistake

You're correct I'm pretty sure, OP meant the custom emoji, not the UTF16 ones.
