I guess David Lynch had the same idea (From Eraserhead).

I use an extension which bundles 5 different solutions in one called PaywallHub. I hasn’t been updated for a while because it got hit by takedown notices, but the chrome extension and firefox addon repos are still available, you just have to install it a bit more manually: https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub

Maybe it’s because I grew up with 60hz CRT monitors in the 90s, the ones that’d give you a headache if you sat in front of them for too long 😅 Or maybe you just get so used to 144 fps once you make the switch that it’s impossible to go back.
GOW running at 40’ish fps as you say even at ultra must mean they cared to make a good game. I ought to give it a go just for the “Boy” meme.

There’s a reason I only upgraded to a 2k monitor and not 4k, I’m not willing to sacrifice that much performance to just play at a higher resolution, 25 fps is way too low for me. 108 fps is what I play Fallout New Vegas at (to avoid physics behaving too weirdly) and I think that’s fine. I think I’ve gone down to 90 and been somewhat ok with that, but anything below that is no bueno.
Non-fps games I’ll cap lower, like 72 fps for a civilization game is perfectly fine.
But if you want beautiful games like God of War (or do you mean gears of war?) and are fine with a lower framerate, that makes sense to me.

I was thinking so as well. Mostly because of the left pupil not looking like the right pupil, but also the style. The style of shadow below the chalkboard looks like a really odd choice.

Ha, I was just looking up a similar meme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wz9BkzU1zY (It’s about alpine)
But yeah, it’s actually what I like about linux, and also what I dislike about systemd, the fact that things are interchangable. With regards to systemd, it’s mainly because canonical is the driving force there, I’m distrustful of corpos having too much power of a critical part of the system like that.

Very interesting distro, I like the name as well. “Chimera” because it’s not like any other OS. Also, never heard of the “dinit” init before, interesting!

Oof for someone who isn’t tech savvy this was a hard read but I appreciate it!

I’m sorry, I should’ve clarified, that’s the socalled copypasta/meme I mentioned. But now you’re cursed with the knowledge of it existing.

I wish I had 90s memories of linux, but in my family it was all microsoft, from DOS to Windows. My uncle was an electrical engineer and was interested in computers, so our family got some hand-me-down PC’s over time, and I probably played Leisure Suit Larry way too young in the early 90s, but I still believe that typing in text commands is a great way of learning a language.
It wasn’t until 1999 I saw Linux for the first time at school, and later around 2003 I saw it again at a LAN where someone was showing off how fast it could run Unreal Tournament 2003, which was faster than Windows at the time.

At least there’s still rice and gravy around :)

Linux is not that old. There’s a reason why the “Actually it’s GNU+Linux…” meme exists, because Linux is built using tools that were already around, he didn’t start entirely from scratch.

“The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement.

Sam Beard of the Party Girls podcast btw.
Here’s a clip of him on CNN.

Thanks, this seems like a very thorough description of the situation. My limited understanding of how coding works and has worked through history is like you say “filled with a lot of jank” regarding memory because it was limited but also because compilers weren’t as efficient as they are today. So it makes sense that there are purists that believes the only good code is the one where programmers are in total control of every bit of memory themselves instead of leaving anything to automation.

Classic. But yeah, that’s how I’m reading the situation as well.

Some of the comments on that article made me realise I’m a bit out of the loop: what makes Asahi linux “woke”?
It is sad though that there is so much drama around linux development. It’s easy for me to say this, but I do think it’s important that there is a switch to a newer language like Rust away from C eventually.

Took me a little while to figure out where to put the .ipk3 file (easiest is ~/.config/gzdoom) but otherwise easy enough to get going using the flatpak version of GZDoom. Installing the regular gamefiles + spear of destiny (from my GOG version) was also pretty easy, but I wonder where one can get Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge 🤔

Either way, good shout, plays excellently, although seems like hitting enemies is harder in this version than the original, at least when they’re far away.

That’s not a bad shout at all. It does hide æøå on weird keys though, would take a lot of practice to get used to that, but I’ll definitely put that layout into the layout rotation, thanks for the suggestion.

The alt gr + ß is probably the same for nordic keyboards, the one below A. It’s <>\ for me, but afaik both < and > are also individual keys on a US keyboard. And then there’s ~. But I guess you get used to dead keys.

Shift+7 feels wrong for some reason, so I currently tend to just send my pinky on a kamikaze mission towards the numpad hoping I hit /. Sometimes I hit numlock, sometimes I hit *.
Even if I made a compose key “shortcut” via ~/.XCompose it’d still be more work than what I’m doing already.

Macro pad could be a solution, I have considered it beforehand for other purposes tbh

Yeah, she perfectly represents the values of USA in true mobster fashion.

If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you’d probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I’ve been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?
