I take my shitposts very seriously.
Home is where the heart is; cave is where the goon is.
Are any of us okay?
American eyes can't bear the blinding light of the truth and they scurry back into the gooncave.
Sometimes. It contains fixes for specific games and patches from wine-staging (the newest, testing branch) that are not included in Valve's Proton releases, many of which have a positive impact on performance. The project's overview is the best summary.
The reason is that we want it to fail. My original comment was more emotive than descriptive. The system is horribly designed and a fucking menace on the best day, so short of direct sabotage, we're doing what we can to force the bossmang to replace it.
It's surprisingly easy to get from the main hall to the server room. There are two doors between the entry hall and the server room, one can be bypassed by yanking it real hard, and that gives access to the breaker box for the electromagnets among others. The building is not particularly well-designed.
One of our servers is a rotting carcass being kept alive by our collective prayers. It runs Windows 7 and custom software whose developer is dead and the source is missing, nothing has been updated for over a decade, and it has its own independent UPS because once it goes down, it has an extremely slim chance of recovering, and we're afraid to test it. It controls the card entry system into the building, including the server room. Boss doesn't want to replace it because we'd have to replace all of the terminals and controllers too, and it hasn't catastrophically failed yet.
You're right. It's not a pet. It's like one of the Saw movies: if it dies, we're all fucked.
Extrapolate from the context. I'm tired of explaining obvious things to unreceptive people.
The discourse goes to the same fucking place every time Felix is mentioned. People don't deserve the benefit of doubt.
I seriously doubt that anyone who asks that question doesn't already have a foregone conclusion, but fine, I'll indulge you.
Probably not. If he was, and had been hiding it his entire life, even in the era when he was the youtube star and had zero restraint, why would he slip up those few times, and especially such highly public ways?
He did and said some shit in his early 20s, and he deserved the criticism at the time, but those incidents weren't repeated and weren't part of a pattern. He wasn't the paragon of virtue and maturity, but I'm willing to bet my left nut that neither are the people who are lining up to crucify him, and the only difference is that he had an audience. The people who aren't willing to let go of their prejudices after a decade are equally as immature.
Do you want to continue posturing and fishing for confirmation from other edgy teenage minds, or do you want the answer?
I'm sure all the reactions will be nothing but respectful and factual, and not riddled with festering teenage emotions.

I love that entrepreneurial attitude. If an online service is unsatisfactory, just develop your own software from the ground up and provision the infrastructure from your pocket. Car industry sucks? Just build your own car! GPU prices high? Grab a soldering iron and a handful of sand, how hard could it be?
Things are always more complex than they appear. The whole point of services like Youtube and Patreon is to offload that complexity onto the provider in exchange for a fee (or some other form of compensation) from the user. Just look at how many early Lemmy instances have gone offline because of the overwhelming financial or administrative burden. Hate the companies all you like, and by all means look for independent solutions, but don't pretend they offer no value whatsoever.
Stop trying to impress an uncaring society. The "grind" is an unworthy master. Grandfather Nurgle loves you just the way you are.
What is missed is not necessary or available.
For some people, the differences can be deal breakers. Nix is interesting, but I won't likely move away from Arch because access to the AUR is more valuable to me.
Mint also doesn't install snap when you want to install an apt package, nor put Amazon ads in your search box. GNOME is also just a horrid experience for someone who's transitioning from Windows.

The entire "non-ideological" thing is just him not wanting to be challenged for being a shitter.
I already know a couple of mine:
- Wireless fucking sucks
- Bring back the headphone jack
- Apps suck
- E-mail is superior to every single communication method
One day the Year of the Linux Desktop will arrive.
And some people will want to pound the ecosystem back into the 80s because their obsolete, bug-ridden pile of technical debt isn't the most popular (insert system component here) in the world, and the best alternative has some issues.
If you can build logic gates, you can build a circuit. If you can visualize its state, someone will inevitably play Bad Apple on it.
Minecraft and Factorio ain't shit next to Conway's Game Of Life.
The pak was definitely not flat.

I understand why having eight very specific versions of the same library is important. Doesn't mean it isn't annoying.

It's a Creative Zen Stone that I got as a Christmas gift in 2008. I just found it in a drawer, and it's still holding charge. The last thing I put on it was The Life And Times Of Scrooge by Tuomas Holopainen, in 2015 -- I don't know why, at that time I definitely had a smartphone.
It has a headphone jack, which immediately makes it better than every smartphone produced in the last several years, and it can easily drive my 80-ohm Beyerdynamic. The audio quality is as good as one can expect. The only drawback is that it only holds 1GB... my old CD rips had to be compressed to hell and back.
Let me reiterate that this has been sitting untouched for a decade and was immediately ready for action. No login, no annoying software updates, expired subscription, or remote bricking by the manufacturer. Eat my shorts, Spotify Car Thing.

At some point, kids watching older cartoons will no longer understand why putting a thermometer under a desk lamp was a way to skip school.
LED lights are great, but I miss having a mini hot plate on my desk to mindlessly touch and burn my hand.
(Do kids even watch cartoons these days, or do they go into scrolling withdrawal before the first commercial break?)
In a stunning case of crossed wires...
I just tossed a fistful of pistachio shells into my mouth.

INTERFACING [Trivial: failed] - The umbrella bounces off the side of the bin with a clang and a clatter. It comes to rest on the cold concrete, in the middle of a puddle of trash juice. It is no more pitiful a sight than before.

All hail the mighty butt.
Philip Rebohle, DXVK's founding developer, stated in an interview that he started the project "to get one specific game to work". Later, he explained in a forum post that he was a bit of a Nier fanboy, and that it was a relatively simple game to use as a test subject for DXVK.
Rebohle was later contacted and hired by Valve. Wine already had a D3D11 compatibility layer, but it wasn't nearly as far ahead as DXVK at the time. It's fair to say that Linux gaming wouldn't exist in its current form if not for one guy's appreciation for Nier Automata. Rebohle still works at Valve, currently conributing to VKD3D-Proton.
Twitter's blue check mark is the modern equivalent of a dunce cap.
It's not a store... it's where I get my free games.
re: this article.
The title is a joke. "Free, but you have to make an EGS account" is a bit too rich for me.
My impulse purchase of a UPS is saving my ass right now.
About half a year ago I bought a used UPS. It didn't have enough output to power my main PC, but it's perfect for my home server and network.
Starting on Christmas eve and continuing even today, my neighbourhood has been getting intermittent brownouts. It's only affecting one phase (house is on a three-phase 240V connection), which happens to be the one powering my network (also all of the light fixtures, stupid Soviet house), and the UPS works beautifully. I didn't lose any of my services even once. Without it, I would probably be reinstalling Proxmox and praying to the RAID gods to restore my hard drives.
"It pays for itself as soon as it is needed" is proven true once again.
PEGI is a pissing joke.

Slow day at work made me realise why I like this community so much.
It is the polar opposite of the hustle culture, and I despise the hustle culture. Here I can be comfortably adequate and still feel valid.
I haven't done a damn thing today at work. My inbox is empty. The helpdesk is stagnant. Nobody's come into my office with an emergency. I've been watching Star Trek TNG interrupted only by toilet and coffee breaks. I'll wait for the cleaning lady to check the trash cans (they're empty), lock up, and go pick up my dad's gift.
What a perfectly adequate day.
