The final point is the part that’s still being debated I think. The memes are definitely groyper memes, and this article seems to confirm that he was a big player of Helldivers 2, which groypers like to use as a sort-of digital Nazi bar.
The big thing is just that he’s definitely not a leftist, which is of course a huge sigh of relief, but there’s still the very real chance that this was an act of far-right on far-right violence.
It’s weird because at the time I remember feeling like a big loser and like I was really wasting my youth, but looking back yeah. I had a ton of friends, was often out doin drugs with my bros, lost my virginity to both sexes, had the lead role in our theater club, had a kickass job as a lifeguard… kinda the stereotypical “cool kid” high school life.
Kinda a damn shame looking back because I was so depressed and abused by my parents that I couldn’t enjoy it.
Gonna be real, I haven’t had to bother with my OS for the past two months, so I disagree with a lot of this post. The take I disagree with the most is that things that would be difficult regardless of OS are somehow “harder” in Linux though. Getting old games to run on Windows is also a massive PITA, and oftentimes can be easier on Linux since you can always just run a WINE instance using whatever version of Windows the game was originally intended for. Same for old obscure software, anything from like the XP era does not play nice with Windows 11 in my experience. It sounds like the bigger issue is that you have learned a lot about Windows, and haven’t learned a lot about Linux, so your knowledge base for Windows is better.
The actual issue I think is huge for your hypothetical “middle user” is hardware based. Some hardware is just better for running high performance applications on Linux than others. In my fancy, shiny, top of the line rig, my experience in getting games to work is I download them and run them with Proton. I’ve done no troubleshooting, barely use any applications other than Steam for gaming, and so far have not found a game I wanna play that doesn’t work. On my old Nvidia-based rig that I replaced, however, it was the exact opposite story. Nothing ever worked, I was constantly looking through error logs and trying to troubleshoot, and most of the time the answer was hardware that wasn’t properly supported.
If your hope is to find a woman who would want to date you, I’d be willing to bet this would be the single greatest screen you could ask for. Anyone who isn’t interested probably isn’t worth your time
You first, dumbass.
As a sidebar, why the fuck is Unreal Engine 5 so popular? I feel like every game I’ve seen use it ends up being a buggy unoptimized mess.
There’s actually a lot of pretty good British food; unfortunately, it’s typically quite terrible for you. Like, I’ll fight anyone who wants to disparage a sausage roll, but I also understand that some people don’t want the food they put in their body to hurt them.
nobody can stop you.
if someone tries just bite them
is society not offering real solutions nowadays
no, not really. I see a lot of people pretending there isn’t a problem, a lot of people blaming men for the problem, and some really dumb men blaming women for the problem. Mental health for men is still incredibly stigmatized.
As much as I would like to be friendly, I live in America. The reality of the situation is that a lot of the people who will survive the initial hardship are going to be conservative preppers who currently try to deny my right to exist. There’s no way I could be friendly with them, just as I would not expect them to be able to be friendly with me.
Hey, I’m one of those! Started using Bazzite in July, have absolutely fallen in love. My whole gaming library is available, which has been a real first for me with Linux.
Honestly? Yeah so far. I swapped to Bazzite after getting a new AMD rig in early July. There was a little bit of setup for the first few weeks, but it’s worked perfectly for the whole last month.
I did have many, many issues on my last computer when I was on an Nvidia card though. My impressions are that Linux can be very hardware dependent, and Nvidia is kinda notorious for not supporting their hardware.
It’s really hard, but it’s been consistently like 90-95 degrees outside and I don’t have A/C. Kinda had to get used to sleeping with a fan blowing directly on me. I still miss my blanket though, as soon as the fall comes I will return to burrito.
because the alternatives are unconscionable. Consumerist capitalist mono-culture is going to eat its own tail and kill everyone in the process.
I do think theory is a very good way to recruit people. When the facts are presented fairly, rational people will not choose capitalism.
Where would you go? This trend is not unique to Canada, it’s happening all across the West. Every liberal democracy will eventually end up like this.
The second my body wakes up, I am in pain and want to throw up. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to stretch, adjust to the pain, and power through the nausea.
spoken like somebody who doesn’t know a thing about security.
Windows 10 is going to be compromised the second it goes end-of-life. There are cybercriminals who’ve been sitting on exploits, potentially for the entire Windows 10 lifecycle, but at the very least for the past year or two. The second Microsoft will no longer commit to patching those, they’ll pounce.
Connecting any operating system to the internet after it goes EoL is just asking for trouble.
Honestly, it’s kinda incredible they held out as long as they did. Sports gambling is quickly becoming the only reason mainstream sports are still broadcasting, and it took over the rest of esports ages ago.
Why do people always go for Reddit as this comparison? It’s not even the most popular social media. Is it because the question “How can we make Lemmy as popular as Facebook” makes it clear why that isn’t something the users would want?
Yup, absolutely. I use Bottles to manage mine, and run it with ProtonGE. You can also use Lutris, but I recommend not using their auto-installer and setting it up yourself. The auto-installer is an old, broken community one.
I mean, most AAA titles don’t even run on launch nowadays, so I’m not really sure how the quality can get much worse than “unplayable.”
