Does Lutris require some special setup?

Using fitgirl repacks are a bit hit and miss for me. But if they don’t work, Lutris doesn’t help.

Just got the upgrade today. It failed somewhere halfway, made a mess and destroyed grub with no way to restore it.

I’ll just mention QMMP which is basically a Winamp clone. Works great and I’ve used it for many years now.

Happened to me as well, freezing up the whole system, especially with many/large files. None of the suggestions I found online actually worked. Happened on USB drives as well.

Then my whole HD gave up completely. Replaced it and all problems are gone. USB drives as well: turns out Linux at least tries to read it so you can attempt to save some data, while Windows just says it’s unreadable.

I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.

Still can’t run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.

Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.

As a poor European:

Coders saying “but me a cup of coffee” for $8.

I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.

That’s $0.40 for a cup.

(Or about 9 beers)

Nice. Are they official or just a copy? My old login no longer works.

Just tried it and it’s annoying. Also the calculation line doesn’t follow the font settings.

I’m normally using Albert Launcher to calculate, similar to krunner, it works better.

I haven’t used it in a while but Aeroinsta was good and probably safe (despite their shady website). Gets rid of unnecessary stuff like ads and allows downloading.

It shouldn’t be needed but if you want extra privacy, you can try torsocks.

Travel, nothing tech related

Fwiw, my blog’s statistics say Linux is around 10% and I know a lot of browsers identify themselves as running on Windows when they’re not, so I wonder how it’s measured.

I didn’t downvote but probably people won’t sit through a long video when the points he’s making could be a short list. At least give a summary.

The Dutch timezone was actually UTC + 20 minutes until WW2.

More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.

So make things even harder to find? A classic menu bar is not clutter!

Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.

If you’re thinking what I’m thinking, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with beer.

Reminds me of when I joined some classmates to the supermarket. We got kicked out while waiting in line because they didn’t want middleschoolers there because we’re all thieves anyways. So most of the group walked out without paying.

It was interesting how random people came to talk to you and were really trying to get to know you. I don’t think that would work in modern day internet.

I knew they were around because at times I randomly remembered my ICQ number and I tried logging in, but they won’t let you if you forgot your password.

Everyone just copied everything from each other. Floppy, then Twilight CDs. Then came the internet and exploring music there was better than sitting around waiting for a song to come on the radio to quickly press record. It was normal when I was young to share, not really an active choice.
