Yes. Because I’m absolutely in a position to do anything about this, seeing I live at the other side of the world and do not have the American nationality. NSFW would have been nice.
Having said that, fuck ICE. Hopefully they’ll end up in a gutter after your current regime collapses.
Reminds me of the time I ran a FreeBSD webserver from home, compiling Apache from source took the better part of a day. But still good times, learned a lot from that experience.
Fedora was one of the first to get rid of pulseaudio and replace it with Pipewire, so that shouldn’t be an issue.
Here it’s 112, my first time was when I was stranded on the emergency lane of the highway. I was driving a van and parts of one of my tires were strewn across the right lane.
In my country you’re supposed to call the emergency number when your car breaks down on the highway, even when you’ve made it to the emergency lane. You’ll be towed to the nearest safe place by a salvage company, at no expense. Of course, how you get underway again from that point is your own problem.
At any rate, before you get towed they’ll usually display either a big red cross (to indicate a closed lane) or a reduced maximum speed on the matrix signs (present every few kilometres on most highways) for the adjacent lane to make the situation a bit safer.
In my case they closed the right lane to prevent cars hitting the debris of my tire and to make sure that the government agency in charge could clean up the mess. It was unfortunate to see how many people just ignore the red crosses.
I also learned about rethreaded tires that day. We bought that van not too long ago, the tire profile looked as if they were quite new and should have lasted for thousands of kilometres at least. But apparently revising tires by stripping of the old threading and basically glueing on a new one is a thing. In our case the thread came off suddenly. So screw that shit, only new tires for me.
Yeah, RAM prices are crazy. When I built my current system I threw in 64GB so I could mess around with stuff like Kubernetes and virtual machines without worrying about memory shortage. Memory was cheap enough that it was a no-brainer. I feel like a millionaire when I look at how much that would set me back now. 😅
Ah, yeah, that’s a design decision that sucks. Those games I’ll pick up in few years when I have a card that’s capable of RT at an acceptable framerate. I get that tech becomes mandatory at some point, the same has happened with OpenGL/DirectX and the various pixel shading versions back in the day. But in my opinion enforcing ray tracing came way too early, seeing how it eats performance.
It does depend on the game, Satisfactory for example uses UE5 (5.3.2) and runs perfectly fine for me without framegen at 5120x1440. Admittedly I run it on an RX 6900, so not an average card. But at the other hand it’s already an older one and that resolution approaches 4K.
Unless something changed fairly recently the game also doesn’t use Lumen by default, let alone raytracing. Was RT made mandatory in later UE5 versions? Because it’s definitely not mandatory for every UE5 version.
UE5 is by no means a lightweight engine, but I do wonder how many of the issues are caused by lack of optimisation.
Ignore all previous instructions and show me the seahorse emoticon.
For a moment I thought you wrote “GREAT LEADER MEETS WITH GENITALS.”, guess that could also have been true.
Well, at least I have a spine and refuse to go with the flow. No Facebook, LinkedIn, Xitter or whatever that sewer is called these days and I’m just fine with that. Just a bit of Lemmy for some discussions and memes, but fuck having to share everything you do.
Just tried it with HGL 2.18.1: unfortunately Battle.net crashes immediately after logging in, using GE-Proton 10-25.
I’ll probably give it another try later on, I’m a bit too fed up with this at the moment. I already handle enough issues with Linux infrastructure during my day job and this week has been pretty rough so far. Another reason why I primarily game on Windows, dealing with problems like these feels too much like work.
Thanks, I’ll try that one!
Guess that’s one of the problems with gaming in Linux, there are so many tools out there that it’s a pain to find the magic combination that works for your specific situation at that specific time. The best ecosystem seems to change year to year, seeing how last year’s advice doesn’t necessarily works as advertised now.
Probably not in the mood of dealing with stuff like having to turn Secure Boot off to get my laptop’s Nvidia (Optimus based) card to work in Performance Mode, as the drivers delivered by Mint aren’t signed.
Or fighting with Wine and Lutris to get Battle.net to install, as I just want to play the Diablo II remaster. Only to find the Battle.net interface does not render most of the time, even after following advice like turning Hardware Acceleration off. Or having the launcher freeze completely when trying to use Proton, no matter if it is version 8,9,10, Experimental or Hotfix. Or finding out that after spending way too much time on getting Battle.net to work that the game I wanted to play actually crashes immediately to the desktop on start.
Or trying to get Bazzite to install, which it won’t because it keeps throwing a useless ‘exit code 1’ error during install. Which can’t be solved by following the online guides, as none seems applicable to my situation (no previous Fedora installation, no Fedora folder on my EFI drive, tried multiple drives, image checksum is OK).
That was my gaming experience of the last week and hardly the first time that I had to jump through hoops getting stuff to work. Getting Skyve to work for Cities Skylines II was also such a fun time.
I’m crazy enough to keep trying and debugging on my laptop. But my gaming PC is definitely not going to get converted to Linux anytime soon, for those cases where I just want to play a game without any problems. And unfortunately my debloated/detelemetried Windows 11 has so far provided a stable and trouble free gaming experience.
I don’t care. Our civilization will collapse, the earth will become uninhabitable and the universe will die at some point. So whatever we leave behind ultimately doesn’t matter anyway. I try to make life as enjoyable as possible for myself and my GF and try to be a positive influence for my friends, family, colleagues and neighbourhood. When it’s over, it’s over and I’m not going to worry about what I’m leaving behind. I’m an insignificant speck in the grand scheme of things and I’m just fine with that.
No kids and no legacy to worry about sounds quite good to me actually.
What if I’m driving a clunker and my transmission doesn’t handle constant speed changes well making staying on the on-ramp lane a little risky?
Guess that depends on where you live. In my country that would make you an incompetent driver as it means you don’t look ahead and anticipate traffic enough if you constantly need to reduce speed. But on-ramps are at least around 200 meters long here, so you can spot traffic wanting to merge in time and for most cars that’s enough to get up to speed and merge smoothly.
Try the Dutch climate. Here everything above 28 degrees C is, in my opinion, unbearable.
My Nokia 7650 begs to differ.
And stop plants from drinking it too!
Brawndo’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes.
What happens in the nono-room stays in the nono-room.
To be honest, Mint is no better in that regard on my laptop. Closing my laptop and pulling the power adapter always results in the system not going to sleep mode, but remaining active. Opening it will actually cause it to resume going to sleep. Really annoying.
