I honestly don’t know why people are still harping on this. what’s even the point? I know he’s on the files, you know he’s on the files, everyone knows. so why? do people honestly, firmly, believe that releasing said files will be an a-ha moment that will lead to his impeachment? no of course not. It’s such a stupid thing to be concerned about. Democrats file motions of impeachment against this asshole on a nearly weekly basis and it goes no where. like what’s the point? oh THIS time it will? no it won’t. Guy ignores the courts on a routine basis.

Keep in mind that sometimes a Battle.net update will be released that will essentially break playing WoW and other games via the launcher on Linux. usually it’s resolved within a couple days. your best bet is to install it via a Lutris script and if something goes wrong DO post about it either on the Lutris Forums and/or Discord because one of the main Lutris devs is a WoW player so if there are issues with installing WoW on your system he will be right on top of it. It’s your best bet in resolving an issue, he knows all the work arounds and fixes to get battle.net and WoW running on any distro.

nix-shell is great too. sort of like a “demo” of something before actually committing to it or if you just want to use something one off without adding it to your config and rebuilding.

As a dev it’s fantastic for testing also. can just try something on a bunch of browsers without actually installing the browser. love it.

they don’t understand it. How are you going to stop people from having a dedicated server outside the country and then setting up their own VPNs? Wireguard is free and easy to access, how do you stop that?

If I want to open up my personal VPN to a bunch of Americans to use for free then what? I’m not American, my server isn’t in America, so why can’t I just give access to a few Americans? Hell my server would be great cause it’s located in a University so…student discounts!

I believe if a new generation of consoles are released they’re just going to be glorified streaming boxes. Sony has pretty much hit a plateau as far as graphics go, there’s not much you can improve upon now. And sure people are cancelling and complaining about gamepass but Microsoft might just go the route of “we’ll tell you what you want, and if you want this exclusive you’ll have no choice but to subscribe”.

So you’ll pay for this streaming box, you’ll get maybe a couple months of the subscription for free, then you’ll pay $30 to $50 a month to get access to their catalog. Sony and Nintendo will follow suite. If you want to actually “own” anything you’ll play on PC and even then that’s truly up for debate. Like do you actually own the content you buy on Steam?

the only issues I had with KDE when I was recently using it all revolved around the panel. Random crashes with “too much” interaction. Adding widgets for the panel or desktop is still to this day hit or miss. clicking the “get new widget” option is a roll of the dice if it will actually work or not or even find the thing you want. It’s still horrible at loading stuff in there. and installing whatever, again, is a roll of the dice if it will actually do it or not.

I like KDE, it’s a good and solid DE but man do they really need to focus on fixing the panels and the installation/discovery of widgets. The alternative is using the pling store and that’s just a headache on it’s own.

someone likely borked IAM.

as others have stated, Friendica. The issue is finding a stable working instance. I was on Friendica.world but doesn’t work anymore as far as I can tell.

it’s funny because once you start using other distros you quickly realize how easy Arch actually is. I find Arch more straight forward and easier to use that Ubuntu. Ubuntu makes me want to rip what remaining hair I have out.

on my CachyOS/Arch and NixOS machines I just use borg to backup to my dedicated server. Very easy to do. I have a couple alias’ set up so I can view my backups easily through my file manager on whatever local machine. Essentially all you have to do is make a script to tell it what files/folders to backup, what to potentially ignore, how often you want to backup, the time of day you want it to happen, can also tell it to delete old backups. In NixOS it’s painfully easy to set up and can be done within the configuration.nix. On other distros the only difference is you have to set up a service and timer for it.

but I like it, it’s straight forward, never had issues with it.

I mean if you’re going to go the multiple user accounts route for different things wouldn’t it just be easier to just use QubesOS? No account switching and granted it will be a bit slower but saves you the headaches.

well considering that Thiel is insane, this tracks. This is a man that A. believes in the Anti-Christ and B. is convinced said Anti-Christ will be returning any day now and C. it all relates to the tech industry.

They must have a decent marketing budget because I’ve seen A LOT of big streamers playing it. It looked ok. not my cup o tea.

also funny note that the new Call of Duty apparently censors “ARC Raiders” in the in game chat.

Can’t have that in America. they need to be scheduled preferably on a weekend within a short commute.

As long as it’s on a weekend the drive isn’t too long, any other day? it’s a long drive + work + my healthcare is tied to my work + i still believe I’ll have work in a years time at this rate.

She even has the stereotypical “karen hairstyle”.

I don’t understand what drives people who are like that to get THAT specific hairstyle. Like it’s a sort of uniform or one of those brightly neon coloured poisonus frogs in the jungle warning to stay away.

I mean hell my sister is also a “karen” and even she has the SAME style and has had it for years. I remember years ago when my Mom even wanted to get it and I had to tell her “Mom, you’re too nice, you can’t have that hairstyle”

yeah some consider it a racist term because it originally applied specifically to Japanese Cars. i.e. Asian cars, Asians like eating Rice, POS modified Car isn’t a “Racer” it’s a “Ricer”.

I have ubuntu on my server and I really need to switch it. It’s such a dick move when you apt install something and it opts for a snap. I just roll my eyes and groan when I think of having to back up EVERYTHING (music, media, dockers configs, compiled projects, random projects, etc) in order to switch the distro. I dont’ have the time to do it. It’s like nearly 2TB worth of stuff.

you know the Fast and the Furious movies? at least the original 2 or 3, those cars were all tricked out with neon lights, decals, nitros, custom exhaust, all that? most of those cars were Japanese cars that were heavily modified. Basically it was a derogetory term for modifying a piece of shit car to look good, Especally if it was a Japanese car. you slap a body kit on it, neon lights, slap in some bucket seats, switch out the exhaust, but you dont’ touch the engine. that’s a “Ricer” it’s not a good thing in that specific car culture.

So for whatever reason someone at some point was modifying their Desktop Environment or Window Manager with neon borders and all that and decided to call it a Rice. You’re essentially modifying your OS without touching the “engine” so to speak. You’re just slapping a body kit, neon lights, some bucket seats etc onto your operating system.

yeah I’m sure THAT’s the reason no one is having kids and not the fact that no one can afford to house said kids, or can afford to feed an extra mouth or two, or afford everything else thats involved in raising a child.

yeah, got it, the sperm count is down.

because they’re built by individuals who are those things. that’s the controversy. that’s it.

the whole thing is people are upset that Framework sponsored those things because they don’t like paying Framework for their machines who in turn then give money to people they feel are facists.
