Grass,

Pageants are weird and don’t make sense to me. Who even operates them? It just seems like the kind of business a slimy old man would run.

Grass,

This is most of Europe actually

Grass,

Meh just another crappy rootkit game that doesn’t even fully prevent cheating at the cost of undermining system security. But for worse or worse, the entire playerbase doesn’t care about their data being bought and sold for immense profits they get 0% of.

Grass,

90s web design?

Grass,

Neat. Chromebook image is useful for blobs when installing coreboot also.

Grass,

Really though, what were they thinking. Why would anyone risk staying with unity after all their bad decisions, especially when they clearly have no intention to stop being dumb.

Grass,

I just want a modern AMD apu laptop with coreboot, slotted ram and multiple nvme slots, but like everything these days it would seem I’m asking for too much.

Grass,

This but also the infinite fatigue

Grass,

Mind the gap

    Grass,

    I get what you are talking about but this is a bad example. The first post is simply incorrect. Driver issues are few and far between unless you are using hardware made by companies that specifically avoid using standards for the sake of capitalism, or software from devs that either are just as opinionated and insufferable as the Linux users that socials like to shit on or from devs that only care about every keystroke making them money.

    Ableton doesn’t care about Linux because it doesn’t make enough money, the drivers part if they actually said that, is most likely an assumption or lie they made because it would end the support ticket and not cost the company anything.

    People buy software like Ableton from single platform or win/Mac only devs, have a bad time and say “Linux isn’t ready” or some dumb shit like that, then people see it and think “I want to be a musician, so Linux is bad for me” or something. Meanwhile the other options in the replies work on everything, and back when I didn’t have to work all the time to barely survive at least, all of them felt significantly more intuitive than the big name industry standards. Ableton wasn’t the worst I tried but definitely a ripoff compared to a lot of other options, which also ran on Linux which is a huge selling point for us ackshully bros. Pro tools can fuck right off though.

    Really though if someone in music industry is doing it for work and is locked in without choice to a software that doesn’t work on Linux, then they should just become a Mac fanboy and lock in more. Music on windows has been shit from way back and still is. A bunch of the coolest music gadgets lose partial functionality or performance on windows because m$ sucks ass at sound. Linux audio has a long history of also being shit but it has mostly left the cesspool depending on distro maintainers.

    Music is such a money pit though. I like it as a hobby or pastime but for work I would be… well realistically just as depressed as my current and past lines of work.

    Grass,

    This one didn’t age quite as poorly as some of the others. I have gotten to the point of generally preferring Linux gaming now though. Bsd is still a bit lacking for my general computing but opnsense on my router is one of those ‘where has this been all my life?’ things.

    Grass,

    I would install this if I had made the objectively wrong decision to buy an apple computer.

    Grass,

    Noo please don’t Ubuntu. Just plain debian or mint debian instead for the closest thing without canonical. Ubuntu is based on debian and all the actual reasons to use it over debian ended probably like a decade or so ago.

    I don’t think there are many distro specific proton issues, if they exist at all. I’ve switched from arch to tumbleweed to bazzite(ublue/fedora based) and the only issues were unrelated to gaming. Proton would work on a toaster if it had a display and a vulkan compatible GPU.

    More than just that was required for 4k netflix, when it worked. Last I heard they came up with additional DRM bullshit. I would expect Amazon to at least attempt the same thing

    Grass,

    In the following responses Mauro was very professional. l haven’t heard much about recently but Linus had some high tier anger issues. Most of the cases I was following back then he was right, but desperately needed to cool off.

    Grass, (edited )

    Get a Kobo. They are excellent. I had a 2020 or so Paperwhite from 'zon but it made me feel sad all the time. My Kobo Libra 2 has caused me to read more since I got it than the entire before portion of my life.

    If you get any books off amazon use calibre and DeDRM. IIRC DeDRM has stopped but also has been forked on git and continued by someone else so you would want the more up to date fork. Adobe digital editions DRM or whatever it was called I believe can also be removed up to a certain version but you have to download it for the first time with an old enough Adobe app version get the old drm version or it will get permanently locked to the newer version that can’t be removed. Anyway removing DRM let’s you read the ebooks on whatever device you want. It’s not illegal in any country I have bothered to research except if you are doing it to distribute or sell.

    As a side note if it helps anyone, I was able to get the whole procedure to work on Linux too by installing the required versions of kindle desktop and Adobe digital editions via Lutris and wine. Calibre and plugins are already cross platform.

    Edit: updated DeDRM fork link because goog search results are utter shit these days. github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools

    Grass,

    From the thumbnail I was wondering if it was this. Thanks for saving me the watch.

    Grass,

    To date I have not found any degree of enjoyment in any games with a windows only anti-cheat.

    Grass,

    I did a really stupid laugh at the punchline at like 1am, but thankfully nobody woke up from it.

    Grass,

    Ugh keep that realism away from us. Sometimes we want to be blind to everything but the nice things.

    Grass,

    Classic. This pissed off so many classmates when I was in school

    Grass,

    Me too. There is always rice sludge on the lid of the rice cooker and dribbled down the sides if I don’t do at least one rinse. Definitely better texture too.

    The washing away of some(…) microplastics and arsenic sounds nice, and I’m not concerned over the loss of whatever trace minerals white rice would even have.

    Grass,

    I would have written that as “oh my me”

    Grass,

    After cats are reestablished in places they are meant to be in can we get them out of places where they are invasive?
