I've yet to lose a game by just buying literally everything I land on, mortgaging things if I need the money to do so

Did this to my ex once, bought up all the houses and refused to upgrade to hotels, thought I was crazy
Ended up winning because she couldn't progress

But at least if you use Linux you'll prevent the death of some poor Microsoft employee someday when you inevitably want to throttle one of them

I unfortunately learned the vegan community here is largely hexbears, made the fatal mistake of commenting on a post there (as a vegetarian)

Ah that's useful to know, I've been using gamescope for that but it's a bit overkill

I use nixos for dev all the time, personally I think it's great
What I would suggest however is to install the nix package manager on another distro, learn how it works that way and then switch when you're comfortable only using nix
Flakes are absolutely incredible for development and I think every project beyond scrappy scripts should use them.
You can specify all your dependencies (compiler, libraries, cli tools, environment variables etc) in your nix flake, then run nix develop and it'll make you an isolated shell with all that stuff
(For example, I don't have go, rust or dotnet installed but when I cd into one of my projects directors it installs them to a temporary shell and catches them until I clean up)
The flake also generates a lock file which specifies every version of every dependency with a git rev and a hash, meaning if you check flake and lock into git, anyone else who clones that project and uses the flake gets the exact same system you were using

Don't, you'll only make them worse
If you intentionally stir the pot and piss them off they'll inevitably just go take it out on someone else and further reinforce their beliefs

Interesting, is the CPU upgradeable on the framework? Could be nice to replace that later down the line when those come out

What's the brightness like and in what country if you don't mind me asking?
Tend to have my current laptop on full brightness all the time otherwise I can't see anything, and I live in a generally pretty dark country

I imagine the broken packages thing are less about the framework itself, he's probably using discord or other electron stuff right?
I've found when an electron package gets marked as insecure it takes everyone a while to update to the secure one
The clicking sleep thing is interesting one but at the moment I'm doing something very similar anyway

Not planning to give up on the trusty ThinkPad soon anyway
So far the evidence I've seen has been overwhelmingly that arm chips are way more power efficient
People say it makes no difference but I've yet to see an x86 device come close to the arm ones battery wise, seems like a strange coincidence

Ooh battery upgrades are a good sign, what kinda battery life do you get now with an unupgraded one?
flashgnash Now • 100%
Hmmm 3 hours battery is definitely a major downside, given it charges off usb c less of an issue but still
Was actually considering getting one of those copilot pcs once the Linux support catches up, supposedly people are charging those things once a week or so

Ouch if nixos doesn't work well that's a deal-breaker, what were the issues and how long ago? Other people seem to have had decent experiences with it
Have been keeping half an eye on framework laptops as a potential next daily driver as and when I'm ready for one. Just wondering what people's experience of using them on linux has been, particularly nixos I'm assuming all the drivers are in the kernel given the way the company is Have been using a 2016 thinkpad for the past year or so and have had a decent experience with it, with the way lenovo have gone with their newer thinkpads it seems like framework is now the best for maintainability/upgradability (not planning to upgrade in the immediate future as this machine is doing fine, but frameworks are a strong contender in my mind right now and I'm curious as to people's experience)
I kinda like the look of them and often feel myself wanting a second monitor if I'm working on my laptop. (I've come to the conclusion if people think I'm working I won't look like as much of a massive dork) Always had the feeling they'd be a bit crap though, like the hinges break or the monitor isn't too good or it's big and bulky and you can't really carry it Ideally I'd like to find a single fold out side monitor that attaches to my laptop (big chunky ThinkPad) somehow and doesn't need its own power supply but that may be asking too much
Saw an advert for [this](https://supernote.com/pages/supernote-nomad) thing, in theory it looks pretty good (repairable e-ink tablet) but I'm a little confused by their statement that it will at some point in the future run a linux based operatint system "A Linux-based system will be open in the future for community modifications and customizations. *Not built-in with the device" I guess this probably means it's not actually as open as they claim if you can't just put mainline Linux/android on it but thought I'd ask here cause in theory it seems like a neat tablet
I've heard cosmic is in the process of being packaged for nix, but on the tracking issue the only things not complete are the video player and the app store, neither of which I care about Is there any halfway sensible way to get the bits that do work running on nixos? Would quite like to try this desktop out
I've got this idea in my head that I want a tofi based sound board that I can summon on a button press (and maybe fuzzy find through) Should be fairly simple to do with the way tofi works to make the interface, but as far as I can find there's not a quick and easy way to mix sounds in with mic input using pactl Is there any single line solution for playing a sound over mic (like a soundboard would) anyone can think of or do I need to mess around with virtual audio devices to achieve this
There's a video on YouTube where someone has managed to train a network of rat neurons to play doom, the way they did it seems reminiscent of how we train ML models I am under the impression from the video that real neurons are a lot better at learning than simulated ones (and much less power demanding) Could any ML problems, such as natural language generation be solved using neurons instead and would that be in any way practical? Ethically at this point is this neuron array considered conscious in any way?
Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible? Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting
Often find myself getting frustrated editing yaml, and it seems to be used everywhere for some reason I cannot fathom I have an idea to write an editor plugin that will, when opening a yaml file, convert it to json (or some other less painful configuration language), then convert back on save. I don't know enough about yaml syntax to know if that's possible or if there's some quirk that makes them not completely cross compatible Or alternatively if it exists a better CLI tool for editing yaml than just a normal text editor because I'm getting sick of pasting in a block of yaml and then having to fix the 8 indentation errors that somehow spawn from that
Not sure if what I'm looking for exists, but thought I'd ask. I like the boss fights of games like sekiro and and dark souls but I always end up getting bored of them before getting particularly far for one reason or another I'm not a huge fan of the grungey art style most souls likes seem to adopt, and I often find myself wandering around not really knowing where I'm going, what I'm doing, or why I'm doing it Really loved the Nier series. The combat in that makes you feel like a badass, whereas souls likes tend to make your character look like a regular guy with a sword (which I get is the point but not what I tend to look for) Also like the visual style of black desert, the combat feels pretty good and looks very cool though I'm not a fan of all the micro transactions and pay to win (more or less the same goes for Warframe, at least when I played it years ago) Does anyone know of any games that might scratch that itch, don't necessarily have to be souls likes as long as they look good and have challenging boss fights
Just googled to see if there was an activitypub git host yet and came across [this](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/activitypub/) claiming gitlab are working on it at the moment and that it's available as an experimental feature Seems odd to me that people aren't talking about this more here, has anyone tried it and if so is it any good?
Seeing as Yuzu has been nintendo'd recently, what do people think will happen to ryujinx? Can Nintendo get them on the same grounds as Yuzu or would they need to come up with a new case against them?
My phone's just bitten the dust and now I need to look for a new one again. Thought I'd test the waters and see what kinds of phones people on here are using nowadays and what for, what features set them apart if any etc Bonus points if anyone's managed to get mainline linux running on them either via KVM or bare metal Edit: Thanks for everyone who talked about their choices of phone, I am now writing this on a fairphone 4 and am quite happy with it so far.
Does anyone know of a mod that, given the seed for example, could locally generate chunks so that they can be displayed before the server generates them? IE if multiple people are exploring and the server's struggling to keep up, it would be awesome if the client could generate them locally and fill in the gaps locally until the server gets around to generating them proper (Kinda like how I imagine distant horizons does it)
I'm hearing a lot about websites like netflix and YouTube crippling their performance in some way if you're using firefox instead of chrome/a smart TV Is it likely to cause me problems if I just globally change my useragent to chrome instead of firefox? Alternatively, is there an extension that automatically bypasses all of these things that people are aware of (pretends to be a smart TV for netflix, chrome for YouTube, etc automatically) If there's not an extension, what would be involved in making one? Obviously user agent changes dependant on URL but I'm not sure what other metrics these websites might be able to use to figure out what you're using
I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS Thinking of using NixOS for my work machine as well, however I don't want to use hyprland or even Wayland as I need this machine to be stable and reliable (Nvidia GPU) Is I3 still the best option for this or are there better alternatives? (leaning towards I3 ontop of KDE) I'm also somewhat tempted to just go GNOME with the forge extension as it seems the most reliable, though the tiling on that extension is far from perfect
Whenever I hear about D&D more often than not it seems like people go to great lengths to stay in character and roleplay This is great and makes for some very interesting stories but I tend to find myself more interested in just going on an adventure with a group of friends, solve a few puzzles win a few fights, complete a few quests etc I'm also a big fan of character optimisation and mechanics but get the feeling that can be frowned upon by much of the community Difficult to describe what I mean here but as an example in baldur's gate I barely roleplay at all, my character has no personality except for the fact they make the decisions I would make, but I find that more fun, not having to worry about what my character would do and just making the decision I want to make I realise not having a fleshed out character in D&D detracts from the immersiveness of the story because the DM can't weave your character into the story but at least at the moment that doesn't sound too bad to me. Just wondering if there are people out there who run lighter roleplay campaigns
What's everyone's thoughts on how baldur's gate handles areas you're not allowed to short rest? I get that it adds to the challenge to have to conserve resources but up until moonrise towers the game has let us long rest when and where we please My friend and I have been burning through spell slots like nobody's business because when we start to run low on health and short rests we just throw everything we have at finishing a fight thinking we're going to long rest afterwards, only to be realise we can't and now have to fight through the remaining areas with no spell slots Would be nice if the game warned you when you were entering an area you wouldn't be able to long rest so we'd know to be a bit more conservative with resource usage and I feel like this is going to be a pattern going forward Tl;Dr don't mind not being able to long rest in certain areas but would be nice to have a heads up
Obviously nobody in their right mind is using BSD for gaming but I do wonder how it would show up I heard there was a bsd port of steam at some point and some people got the Linux build working on it. I have to assume the Linux build would probably report as Linux unless it has some mechanism to determine operating system besides it being hard coded Having 1% of my playtime be on BSD seems like a pretty good meme to me
Work have started trying out signal for messaging, but I'd rather not have all my personal contacts and conversations on a machine I don't own Is there any way I could white/black list certain contacts from one device, or is the only way to manage two separate accounts? (If so, is there an easy/built in way to do that on windows/nixos)
Screenshot is taken from the worst premade ever video WPE absolutely butchering the English language 2023 edition The game looks pretty cool but I don't recognise it and can't seem to find it with image search, does anyone recognise it?
