Gave up on office a couple of years ago when I discovered bastet:

For people who enjoy swearing at their computer, Bastet (short for Bastard Tetris) is an attractive alternative to Microsoft Word.

Exactly the problem with a lot of these gun nuts - they can’t use their brains because they don’t have one.

I fear games like Fortnite being introduced to very young children might conflate “weapons of war” and “toys”

Never really liked his channel but wasn’t aware of this video until now. What a fuckwit. Has no idea what communism is but keeps saying it when he really means authoritarianism. Says that a gun is “great for children”, I’m hoping he meant for children to use…

I don’t understand why I need to buy a gun to deal with downstream problems where there is an upstream solution. The reasons he gave for owning any gun are really societal issues. Instead of encouraging everyone to have a private army, why not encourage people to vote for politicians who will fix the upstream problems

Do you like the two party system? Do you like the electoral college? Do you like the lack of accountability your politicians face? I’m assuming you must assuming you’re a gun owner who hasn’t tried to liberate the US

How are you supposed to go an get your gun from the locked cabinet where I assume you keep it to prevent a psycho from stealing it and using it against you? Unless you keep it attached to you at all times risking a misfire or your attacker grabbing it and using it against you. What if you accidentally kill someone who was infact innocent when you think you’re doing the right thing but you misjudged a situation? How do I know that you can be trusted with a firearm? What distinguishes you from a school shooter just by looking at you? If the US is so free why don’t you fight back against the corrupt two-party system?

I actually found it alot easier once I had learnt C. That way I know where all of the problems are and can use the high-level stuff to get around them, while still fundamentally understanding what is going on

Funny you should say that because they just dropped Android Subsystem for Windows

Yeah take me back to the early 20th century, that was when you could get some good warring in

If AMD and/or Intel took leadership of the project the Nintendo move wouldn’t work and they’d have to actually test it in court

Could be a matter of CUDA-specific optimisations in the software. Also, an iGPU will share ram with the CPU so while it looks good on paper, memory access and (availability) will vary

Not who you were talking to buy also have an 3050 Mobile.

Runs things like Dolphin, Age Of Empires 2, 3 (definitive edition) and 4 great (had to hide igpu from aoe 4 because it thought it had 16gb vram). Never run them under X11 because I like the trackpad gestures in GNOME, but also have never had to.

However, it should be noted that the NVIDIA card isn’t really interacting with Wayland as desktop rendering is handled by the igpu in hybrid laptops (unless explicitly set). On my PC with a Quadro M2000 on driver 545 there is alot of flickering in Xwayland apps on Wayland so I use X11 there. Someone from NVIDIA actually submitted something to fix th flickering but it hasn’t been incorporated yet, don’t know if it ever will. NVIDIA should just fix it in their drivers (which hopefully 550 does).

Given that most of these projects are on GitHub, why not use the new GitHub discussions feature. MonoGame are ditching their forum in favour of it, because it’s cheaper (free) and easier to maintain. Though they still have a discord for chatting about game development and progress on their games.

Discord has recently introduced a forum-like thing but it’s not indexable by search engines and the built in search only works if you get the exact title. Basically rubbish.

It is possible for rpms and Deb packages to contain repos in them, see the vscode packages, it’s just a matter of how developers choose to distribute their software. This is getting alot better with things like Flatpak, Snap and to a lesser extent AppImages

They recently introduced a package manager called winget. I’m not sure how many people actually use it however, and it is very much a power user tool

As an aside, damn these window screenshots from GNOME look awesome with the shadows

If you’re on GNOME the drive will show up in the “Other Locations” option in files or it might show up on the side. If its not probably a driver issue, though I’ve never had such an issue when using sane distro choices like Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian

If only a tool like this came default with most mainstream distros

yes

Idk Gordon Ramsay is very creative
