Geforce 3060, and yes. Sometimes my primary screen gets locked at my secondary screen’s framerate. The whole OS is especially wonky after wake from sleep, I often have to restart Firefox and Cinnamon after wake. WebGL things in Firefox are especially finicky. The panel-applet-spice things are horrendously single-threaded, some of lock the whole UI regularly.
I’m going to try some other Debian-based OS in the hopes that this is just Mint+Cinnamon and not the state-of-the-art.
I tried Mint and it’s just too buggy to use.
It bothers me because TR2013 didn’t have to be like that. The dogs were challenging and scary. The puzzles were good. The bow and melee combat was tense. Hunting and exploration could’ve played a bigger part, the game so rarely took you off the rails and it was good when it did.
The game could’ve been made with killing humans being rare dramatic moments, with the guns being tools of last resort.
That’s weird, I haven’t gotten the update yet but dark mode is working fine in FF for me. The place where it fails is ff-based webapps, which I use for YouTube music, Discord, and MS Teams.
Mozilla foundation is putting together a paid product under the Thunderbird brand. Folks are excited for that, the Firefox people are good people.
The libertarian “don’t tread on me” wing of the Republican party is hilariously quiet.
git is just the source control. Pull requests, web front-end, a central server that is a single point-of-truth with policy enforcement, issue management, etc. do not come in the box with git.
GitHub provides that, as do Gitlab and others. GitHub is a Microsoft product, and MS is getting scary with the AI push.
ForgeJo is self-hosted and simple.
Is forgejo federated yet?
The way people turned up their nose at the Fediverse when the Muskening happened to Twitter was heartbreaking. I knew social media was an addiction but when you find out your dealer is an absolute monster how do you not go looking for a new supplier?
But they all discarded Mastodon et al as cringe and teduoust. Like, the way even trans women influencers stayed on Twitter blew my mind. When bluesky got off the ground there was finally some migration, but not enough.
It really showed me how many of the “anti-capitalist” and the “anarchism” and “mutual aid” people were all just talk. The mutual-aid volunteer-based platform exists and you stuck with the fascist because it was easy and you’re too cool for the nerd shit.
I mean he’s literally a boomer.
But they make it up on volume!
This is kinda the plot the later Callahan’s books by Spider Robinson. Man-eating aliens who believe the only ethical way to slaughter is to trick the meat into slaughtering itself, and so they infiltrate humanity to encourage that.
I wonder if Android Wear wouldn’t work as an OS basis for this - lower power requirements, probably allows black-and-white screens. The problem there is that Android Wear is absolute hot garbage that can’t decide if it’s stand-alone or companion to your phone.
Why is not just targeting raw AOSP instead of Google Android not considered? It seems like you could use modern hardware with that… is it the lack of Play Store that’s the dealbreaker?
That’s not how inflation works.
Yup. The game is pretty overrated, imho, but its aesthetic was amazing. No lighting system, everything was hand-shaded with textures that really got the Megaman look. One of a kind style.
Imho the problem with the 3D-era pokemon games isn’t that they look low-fi, it’s that they look low-fi in a boring way. Like they were built from asset-store content from 15 years ago.
If ever there was a game that could’ve gotten away with some weird theme like voxel-art or heavy use of billboarded sprites, it’s pokemon. Like, imagine a pokemon game with pixelated hand-animated textures like in Megaman Legends. That would work.
No, it’s complaining about how some games are so swingy that even with skill-based matchmaking the game always seems to be a landslide in one direction or the other.
Overwatch is the worst for this.
Game one: We absolutely steamroll and as tank I do more than both DPS players put together. Yay.
Game two: We get our asses kicked and some Ana who doesn’t know to switch or group up when they’re getting dived spends the whole endgame screaming how awful our tank is.
It’s not as funny when stripped from the context that the comic was drawn 5 years ago.
The very idea of a user-generated content free-to-play MMO for children with whack-a-mole moderation is totally bananas. Even good whack-a-mole moderation would be a bananas design.
I’m okay with little kids online gaming, but it needs to be in content that has been approved by a responsible adult in a setting where either adults are actively supervising or the children are on a server where we know everybody who’s in there.
