EddoWagt,

Why do you have to wait a week to use the bootloader?

Its a software limitation, you can’t unlock the bootloader immediately. After a week you probably have stuff on the device so you might not want to unlock it anymore

Or it might be a security thing so retailers can’t unlock stuff they sell so easily and put their own software on it

EddoWagt,

To be honest I get most of my keycaps from AliExpress, plenty of options there for low prices

Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...

EddoWagt,

It’s mostly the installation and initial setup that’s a pain on arch, so definitely not a beginner distro, but very good nonetheless

EddoWagt,

I have also bought a bundle from the spiffing brit, which was 85 games valued at €1500 for like €40. I bought it mostly for the charity and a couple of games, so it’s very misrepresented to say I haven’t played €1500 worth of games

EddoWagt,

You might’ve lost your mind, I don’t think there are any known cases of games from your library disappearing

EddoWagt,

Epic Games maybe?

EddoWagt,

I don’t know either but I think they’re probably islands but just don’t reach the surface

EddoWagt,

If the price is too good to be true it’s probably a scam, otherwise it’s not in my experience

EddoWagt,

We can also emulate windows on android and WSL obviously on windows.

So we can use Linux to emulate Android, which in turn emulates windows to run WSL

Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

Due to the recent announcement of Proton moving to a non-profit structure (although not becoming fully non-profit) I’ve decided to take another look at them and really, Proton Unlimited is an enticing offer. However, the fact of everything from mail, to accounts, to storage being in one place is somewhat disconcerting. Also I...

EddoWagt,

I’m pretty much in the same boat, you think it’s worth subscribing only for the vpn and email?

EddoWagt,

Yeah I suppose that’s not too expensive, although it feels like a waste when I’m not using all the services provided

EddoWagt,

Yeah that’s totally true and worth a bit extra for me too

EddoWagt,

I certainly did that with Gran Turismo 6 on the PS3

EddoWagt,

I also think it cant say no for some reason, so it just makes up a story instead. I’ve not yet seen one of these ridiculous results where it said something wasn’t true

EddoWagt,

Nope, the Dutch broadcaster Avrotros said what happened as described above, the EBU says the story from the photographer or whatever is different, but has failed to tell us what that difference actually is

EddoWagt,

Man I was so excited for KSP 2, I couldn’t wait to build a moon colony with friends. Shame they never delivered what they promised

EddoWagt,

Yeah link is dead, but you can find the app on f-droid

EddoWagt,

I had never heard of this, that is certainly my new favourite

EddoWagt,

It’s not too long, but it’s a great experience, absolutely worth the time

EddoWagt,

Yeah Abzu was great as well, but something about Journey just resonates with you. I can’t explicitly remember the music, but it would probably be better if you just waited a bit longer until you can hear again!

EddoWagt,

Dog with nose at the top, ear on the bottom of the head

EddoWagt,

A slightly better Phillips head

EddoWagt,

In Dutch they are called “inbus”, which apparently comes from the German name “Innensechskantschraube Bauer und Schaurte”, where Innensechskantschraube means inside six sided screw and Bauer und Schaurte is the company who patented the screw type.

I have no idea how the name inbus came to be

EddoWagt,

Well yeah but still, who would think of that?

EddoWagt,

But the german name is just innensechskant

EddoWagt,

You can suck me but I’m not sure if that’s allowed since I’m also not on Lemmy.world

EddoWagt,

Sameish, for Linux I have the same, efi, root and a seperate home. Then I have windows efi and windows itself on another drive. Then I also have another drive for most of my storage, which is shared between Linux and Windows. I only really use my home partition for downloads and configs, maybe I should move my downloads to the storage drive so I can share them with windows as well. Not sure why I’ve never done that

EddoWagt,

I dont think they updated the main quest line much, its still short and not too special. But there are many side quests of which some a really good. Also the Phantom Liberty expansion is excellent, best part of the game imo

EddoWagt,

I really want MSAA back in modern games, always looked great even though it costs some performance. I feel like Anti Aliasing really doesn’t cost that much as it used to do anyways

EddoWagt,

I’m sure you can disable that behaviour

EddoWagt,

It might need some CSS tweaking, which is definitely more complex than just a toggle in the settings unfortunately

EddoWagt,

Past generations wondered “Wow, I wonder what the future will look like?”, but nowadays we only think “The world is fucked and it’s only getting worse.”

I know doom thinking is bad and all that, but there is just so little reason to become excited about what’s to come

EddoWagt,

Well his might be a lot louder and a different tone

EddoWagt,

I just want to be able to have good battery life and be able to plug in a display seamlessly if necessary. Right now that seems impossible on Fedora with my laptop. Even windows doesn’t do it properly

EddoWagt,

Because there are a lot of words that sound nearly identical, way more than in English. For speech you have pitch accent, but you can’t achieve that with writing. I’m not saying it’s a good system, but at least it makes a bit of sense. But it is pretty stupid to have 2 literally identical alphabets which just look different

EddoWagt,

I thought that would be the case for me too, but man I just hate katakana. I find it so difficult to read compared to hiragana, even after 1.5 year of daily learning

EddoWagt,

Fair enough I suppose, and yes those words definitely are pretty clunky usually. But I wonder if it wouldn’t be easier if they would integrated spaces?

EddoWagt,

If you use a usb 3.2 gen 2 port, your max speed will be 1250 MB/s, pretty much every nvme ssd will be able to max that. Fast USB sticks will undoubtedly be very close, but might not have the same sustained write speeds compared to an SSD (With Dram cache).

If you’re just going to use it for recovery ISOs or installations it’s probably not going to matter much, I regularly use USB 2.0 usb sticks for that purpose just fine.

It’s up to you though, I had an nvme ssd laying around and bought an enclosure for it, I get about 1000 MB/s read and write with it.

So if you have an ssd laying around I think that would be a good option, but a usb stick will be fine as well and would be a little bit more compact, if that matters to you

EddoWagt,

OP has a link with a bunch of SSDs and their speeds, if that website is accurate, their appears to be a few

is there a foss project to automatically sort files

do you know that minecraft mod that autosorts your inventory? is there are project that can autosort a messy file system and put all of your files of a similar nature into a well organised, well named order. obviously this would require ai that could do image, language, and audio recognition but is there anything in the works? i...

EddoWagt,

Yeah I don’t see why that wouldn’t be possible

EddoWagt,

From the first 10 models I saw, the first image was a woman 9 times…

EddoWagt,

In Belgium they even use Facebook Messenger as the default messaging app… There is little hope in people

EddoWagt,

I mean, what do you expect? There’s way too many keyboard shops already and 80% of them barely have any stock with everything being a group buy or pre-order
