Same here, it’s the reason why I kicked Ubuntu off my laptop. They removed any way to choose and made it such a pain to get around the Snap bullshit. I’m on Linux because I want to choose what I do with my system.

Microsoft is the “Linux salesman of the year” because most people switching to Linux do it just because Windows has become so terrible.

Hosting costs probably. Rolling back a patch is a rare scenario and Steam would have to host every version of every game in their store on their servers indefinitely.

Do you really want to chat about that with the distilled essence of a million redditors?

I hated Windows 8 enough to put up with it at the time. It’s nuts how much things have improved since then.

I don’t really need more than that.

“Maybe you should try getting a job?”

I think the reality is that no one on Reddit gives a shit about Lemmy

I wouldn’t be so sure:

He’s the best example of someone falling upwards. He’s not much more than a cash cow for other people running the companies that he owns and their successes are not happening because of Musk, they are happening despite of him. It goes as far as SpaceX allegedly using “handlers” to keep him from interfering with the actual development. I’m pretty sure that you, as a mod of [email protected], have more technical experience as the guy who claims to be the genius behind Tesla.

The reason that Musk is making these obviously dumb decisions at Twitter is because it’s 100% his toy to play with and there’s nobody else running the show for him. What we are seeing is essentially the unfiltered effect that he has on a business.

It’s only half a kneel, so let’s just call it eel.

This is less about the instance as a whole. The [email protected] mods are notoriously terrible. It’s best to just avoid the community altogether.

Same here, at least so I thought until I started distro-hopping out of curiosity. And I learned that there are a ton of Nvidia specific problems on a lot of different distributions. I guess I just got lucky with my main setup that I’ve been using since around the same time.

For the same reasons that fast food is popular. It’s basically dumbed down mindless consumption. I used to be on reddit because I could talk to like-minded people about interesting topics, but the vast majority of people on the internet just want to be entertained and with the support of the admins, they ended up taking over the site. Sure, there are some niche communities where you can have valuable discussions but their time is limited. It’s essentially an artificially accelerated Eternal September.

I’m on Neon User Edition and 6.0.0 is the latest version. I’m currently running 6.5.0-25-generic.

The Linux version of the game is sometimes treated like an unloved stepchild though. I actually played the game through Wine for years because the Windows build had about twice the FPS on my Linux system.

There’s also a bug when reflections are enabled that makes the game unplayable and it hasn’t been fixed for about a year. It took them something like two years to fix another one where the mouse randomly left the window on a dual monitor setup and that one basically made me stop playing altogether. That said, I appreciate them supporting Linux in any case.

The vax passport is just a small yellow booklet and if you lose yours, you just get a new one from the doctor. You just sign your name and that’s it. It would be pretty trivial to swap pages or maybe just write a different name on the cover.

Pretty sure this is the reason then, OEM unlocks can trigger this on some devices.

He didn’t do this for health reasons. He solid his vaccination passes to people that didn’t want to get vaccinated themselves. The positive side effect is that we now have data on the effects of the vaccine that wouldn’t have been possible to obtain without unethical human trials.
