I’m not sure but, I always recommended Mitm for it’s ease of use, I tried fedora, didn’t like it, will likely never use it again. First impressions are a pain cause if you fail the first impression you lose before you begin. It could be an amazing system but, it was a bigger pain to setup and get going plus had less resources for me to get started while using more lesser known tools that wern’t easily transferrable from the previous systems I has tried.
If you open up the host instance, you’ll only see one other commenter anyway so I think they are down voting due to it seeming like a demand, but since no one’s messaging why I’m just guessing
I just read the how to clean your Cyber truck article from Tesla and holy cow you might as well have written purchase vehicle, store directly in garage indefinitely, cause just about anything damages it lol
I was moreso referring to the do not wash in the sun, do not use hot water, do not use car washes that use pre-cleaners, and the fact that apperently having tree resin or dead insects on the vehicle is enough to cause corrosion of it.
I agree the carwash mode sounds logical, I’ve just never heard of it or needed it for any of my vehicles, I just don’t open the doors or windows in the wash.
Git repos have lots of write protected files in the .git directory, sometimes hundreds, and the default rm my_project_managed_by_git will prompt before deleting each write protected file. So, to actually delete my project I have to do rm -rf my_project_managed_by_git....
honestly I don’t think there is a better way, like others have said you can use a trash program or you can chmod the git directory before deleting but, I would recommend against the comments saying alias the command, that can lead to even bigger problems if you typo thr alias or mess up in the script. rf can’t break anything unless you say the wrong directory which would be the same with aliases anyway,
My recommendation out of them all would be using a trash program to move it to the trash that way if you do screw up the location you have a way to restore it otherwise you could make a script to list the files affected using ls and then prompt a yes/no prompt using read before doing the rm script, but that’s something you definitely want to test in a sandbox or user restricted environment if you’re not used to scripting in case something breaks
I’ve been the same way with my switch, I haven’t touched it for probably a year and a half outside of a short bit when tears of the Kingdom launched where I replayed some of breath of the wild and a small portion of Animal Crossing, I agree
They had been falling for at least 4 years now, I had already strayed from doing anything on the switch from lack of appeal, but their crackdown on dmca with the yuzu Community was the final straw for me, I didn’t even use the emulator myself but I’ve always heavily embraced emulation and the ability to Tinker with stuff that you purchase and that just didn’t sit right with me.
It was also around that time that I actually read into what happened with Gary Bowser, and that made me sick to my stomach, because it was essentially the equivalent of Prosecuting a cashier for the crimes that the CEO did.
Honestly even if they were still prospering I wouldn’t recommend the products, it’s hard enough to recommend their product to customers in the first place due the platform restrictions and the fact that they just keep regurgitating the three same IP over and over again, and that’s without the active hostilities towards their fanbase
The latest Mario games have seemed to been quite meh for me, like out of watching gameplay of them anyway. Legend of Zelda though I’m not a Zelda fan but dang was tears of the Kingdom fun to watch, almost made me break my boycott on their products, thankfully though they’ve issued like three rounds of dmca since which has firmly solidified my decision.
it’s not recommended, it causes massive issues with the built in programs and you will spend ore time fighting your system then just going with a native, I just tried this a few months back
Someone set a timer, how long will it be before they reverse that change. VISA has been very open about not wanting to be involved with anything that is NSFW, and about time Visa reaches out and says yo we’re pulling the plug on your usage of our services it’s going to reverse
On the flip side of that coin, being able to see what other people like Embraces interaction because you can look at a like list see who else liked that post and then by doing so you’re interacting with that post as well, where with the new system there’s no longer an incentive to interact with a post unless you find it entertaining. Which I fully agree with I just think it’s going to lower their overall engagement metrics
The people that they are likely changing this policy for are high enough up in the social hierarchy that they can’t be arsed to have more than one account, that’s too much work for them and those same people are also likely the ones that are giving them money which means that he has a direct incentive to do this
Why even bother with bots? Since the like list will no longer be public they can just literally code it to artificially inflate the system to boost propaganda in the way that they want to make. Or you were able to see who was liking it so you could verify those an actual person behind it, now you can’t.
With this new system there’s nothing stopping a comment from being sent to the Moon likewise with only one person actually liking it ex. Musks social posts can have 80,000 likes where as only 10,000 actually liked it.
Who needs to spend money on engagement on the platform when you can fake the engagement and get the same results because members will be like oh there’s a lot of people interacting with this and will interact with it as well when in reality there isn’t actually much interaction with it
I like the ideology of having private likes, the problem is you need to trust the platform in order to have a system like that, back when Lakes were private there was trust in the platform nowadays there’s zero trust in the platform, it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re going to use this to fake engagement numbers for their userbase
agreed tbh, I have certain buzzwords blocked by filter but, when the words aren’t in the title but in a photo they don’t get blocked. I think the issue for me is less political though and more beating a dead horse cause the topics grown stale.
I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...
Roblox in particular has been super hostile to the Linux community, they’ve two or three times now intentionally changed their application to make it so it won’t run under wine. If Roblox is something that is a hard requirement for him, I would highly recommend against any of the non-windows derivatives. The lead development team on Roblox seems to have the ideology that anything that isn’t Windows is a hacker platform and therefore they attempt to remove access from those platforms wherever possible. I don’t personally agree with it but, it is what it is.
I also wish people would stop blindly recommending Unix platforms as a drop-in replacement for gaming on Windows. I have yet to see anyone who has been able to just install any of the flavors and have it “just work”. I fully agree that we are ages better in terms of compatibility than it was even 5 years ago, but at 100% should be going into it as a “you will have issues prepare to have to troubleshoot” and if this was his first time using anything not windows, I would have hard recommended against nuking the windows install, at the very least shrink the C partition on Windows which can be done via GParted, which thankfully is already pre-installed on the Linux Mint installation media.
It’s disappointing that he is looking to go back, but I can fully understand his frustration, as someone who’s recently retaking the plunge after 6 or 7 years of being on windows again, I find myself getting aggravated at times trying to make hack scripts to make things work as well.
That being said, if he is wanting to go back you shouldn’t force using it, that’s only going to remove the possibility of him switching back in the future(like when MS makes w10 a subscription model either end of this year or the year after which will force w11)
Adding on to this that if they do decide not to go Windows do not use Debian.
Don’t get me wrong it’s hella stable if you’re using stuff from like five six years ago, but if you’re trying to do anything remotely new or gaming related I would probably pass and try for one of the ones that are less stable. This is coming from someone who just made this mistake, steam will install but proton will not because the dependencies that proton relies on don’t exist in any of debian’s default sources, of course the launcher won’t actually tell you this unless you try to launch it from command line. On top of this if you’re planning on using games that originated on a windows partition, proton isn’t able to use those partitions unless you force yourself the owner by using uid and gid in fstab for the partitions, but it won’t tell you that either it will just fail to launch.
I’m at the point where I think I’m just going to Nuke my Debian install and just go with another system because man has it fought me every step of the way in this process
I’m struggling to get back into using Debian again but like, with every issue it makes me look at my windows partition more and more. Like it’s significantly better then it was 10 years ago and I love it’s speed but, it’s reliability and compatibility could definitly improve
my issues in the past 2 weeks consist of proton(just in general has a memory leak that eventually frame drops but I expect it’s just a proton thing) , bluetooth(fixed for now), multi-monitor/desktop has screens randomly shutdown on sleep and screen timeout requiring a force enable/disable of the monitor and audio sharing across applications just generally doesn’t like working. I’m expecting it’s an issue with pulse audio or something but it’s still annoying.
I have given up getting proper channel control on my headset, it detects both channels but the other channel won’t let me edit volume, I’ve had to manually make an audio profile in order to get it to even detect the headset in the first place.
I can’t use Wayland period, unless I manually start the window manager and even when it does work it artifacts all over the place and is generally unenjoyable due to it. I’ve fallen back to X11 which works tremendously better but will occasionally just decide to not load a desktop environment.
Most of these are easy workarounds to get working again, but the point is you shouldn’t have to do workaround over workaround in order to get a system to operate for you.
Like I said it’s still tremendously better than how it was when I used it 10 years ago but it’s things like that that make it so it’s really hard to recommend taking the plunge for your everyday user
I might, last I knew it was super unstable but that was a long time ago, I just don’t want to have to go through another reinstall, already reinstalled once recently to switch off mint
Yeah I know that Debian isn’t really meant for the latest and the greatest and I agree I think it is what I’m running into, it’s just sadly I tried Linux Mint prior because that’s the system I had originally started with 15 years ago and I loved it, but I had an even worse time getting that system running then I did getting debian running and one of my friends was hard pressing me to use plasma anyway and there wasn’t a good way of getting plasma to work on mint, so I decided to go with it.
I may end up dropping Debian I’m just at that point where I put so much effort into getting the system to run again and most everything has been fixed, but I’m also at that State where every time I think I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve gotten things fixed, something else weird that I would have never expected to be a problem pops up. I do need to just let the system go, just sucks to waste all that effort
As for the specs yeah it is NVIDIA I got burned by AMD pretty hard after years of loving AMD, I still have an AMD CPU(R 5 5600x) as I’m in love with their processor division, but I’m running an Nvidia GPU(4070) now cuz AMD’s GPU division needs a lot of polish. Love the raw output but stability under high load was just not there. I moved my AMD GPU to the rack where GPU demand is less and it’s not crashing all the time now.
If I ever take the rack apart again I may put the card back in to see how it works with the new system but overall I’m happy with the state of the system it’s just annoying at times
Thank you, hope everything runs stable for you as well!
I see this link posted everywhere for weeks now but like, I’ve never been able to use it. The US version of it recommends the DGCCRF which is exclusive to France or visitors thereof. It’s weird that it doesn’t recommend a US branch or have the FTC section at the top
yea i figured the reason might be similar to that, too bad the US just doesn’t care about consumer rights, I just find it weird they bother mentioning it on the US page if the US can’t actually use it
I think the answer is because they don’t believe they need that market, they were obviously okay with losing that market share in the first place due to the fact that they put the requirement in there. As their announcements have said, requiring a PSN account is something that gives them more control over abuse (and ofc data) and allowing more players that are in countries where they are not currently allowed to have those accounts are counterproductive to what they are currently driving for
I’m not surprised they didn’t reverse the region locks they believe it’s something for the best and that’s not something that the consumer is going to be able to change, regardless of the reviews or protest, worst case scenario for them is they just go back to being fully console exclusive if the PR pressure gets too bad
This type of review bombing is actually against steams terms of service for reviews in the first place, they’ve stepped in a few times now to hide campaigns like that, I expect they will do the same with this one. Basically it’ll keep the recent review metric but, it will hide the reviews from the historical and the overall metric. So worst case out of this will be it has a negative recent reviews for awhile.
your last sentence is actually the exact reason they implemented that policy and they moreorless quote it in their forum post where they talk about how the new system works
this process will cause most smaller creators to just leave the platform, it’s already super difficult to to get established, this would essentially force them to operate at a loss until they can get a foothold which concidering a lot of the time it can take months to years to get established? I can’t see that system being sustainable either.
I often hear folks in the Linux community discussing their preference for Arch (and Linux in general) because they can install only the packages they want or need - no bloat....
I concider bloat to be either unneeded files/programs. So duplicated libraries, unused apps, not personal data files that are stagnant, anything similar to that. It’s hard to put a metric on it, I just browse through my files every once and awhile and delete the unused stuff, but with the push for container based stuff I forsee that method will become increasingly harder as time goes on
I don’t donate, I’m phobic of needles and I disagree with the commercialization of the industry. The fact that my blood likely won’t be used by someone who needs it and instead will be up charged to the highest bidder sickens me.
fully agree, but honestly I think it would be easier to just leave the country then ever actually having that happen, it’s too far against those in power’s ideology, which is land of the free but not for thee/only for me
I worked closing shift, it was sometimes faster for me to cook then rely on mcdonalds to have my food ready in a timely manner. At some point of the night they start cooking everything to order, so I pull into mcdonalds, spend 10-15 minutes waiting, or I can drive home spend the same amount of time cooking and sleep around the same time and save like 20$. Was a no brainer for me
that being said, it’s insane to me the pricing difference there. A meal here is at least10-15$ so to think of getting supper at a mcdonalds for roughly a third of that … I haven’t seen that in years
People need to realize that social media platforms are not always the best medium. Post a summary with the link to the rest of your information and I promise you anyone who’s going to interact/show interest with your article is going to click that link.
This let’s people be able to read your article without having to duct tape all of your post together to get the separation between posts, and allows for easier sharing of medium.
I apologize if it was hard to read, if it makes you feel better I don’t fully understand emoji lingo, so I’m not quite understanding your post fully either. Are you suggesting that I make it all one big text splurge? I know that might look better on pc but it makes reading on mobile atrocious lol
You are fine! I just wasn’t sure. Also I never considered that it might be an employer restriction for some of those. I guess that would make sense of why some people might post info dumps in that matter, even if it is hard to read.
Additionally, that emoji makes a lot more sense now, I figured it was something like that. I just hadn’t seen it used that way before.
I usually ignore video only posts, but the cover art actually caught my eye, this is one of the few times I actually watched the video and that game looks absolutely sick. Instantly wishlisted to keep tabs on it
A fair warning to those using a 5700XT, spacers choice edition will crash randomly every 10-15 minutes regardless of graphics settings, it’s the main reason I gave up on the game. After 3 weeks of back and forth with their QA/Support team they moreorless said that nothing could be done about it. This was after verifying files, using DDU to nuke the driver, updating the driver fresh, and fully reinstalling the game. Lowering graphics delayed it but it made it last 15-30 minutes before crashing instead of 10-15. Swapping my 5700xt with a 4070 fixed the issue indicating that there is a core issue with the game with AMD based setups, with the 57 series most effected.
I actually think this is a nice feature, not really sure the argument of like “well Capital One isn’t a great company anyway so it’s not you they’re looking after”
So because they’re not a good company means that they shouldn’t have good features? So should I not benefit from a feature that the bank/lender gives me?
I’m much happier that they’re airing on the side of caution and asking me about it then just ignoring it and having me maybe miss it or find out months down the road. Worst case scenario? I get an extra email that I can ignore.
Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money.

It takes two is actually one step further, only one player had to own the game. It takes two had what was called a friend pass which as long as you weren’t the host of the game allowed you to play with any other player that had already purchased the game. So despite the fact that it was forced Co-op either split screen or online, only one player had to actually buy the game.
In this day and age it blew me away when I learned that because it’s just unheard of now.
According to the report, Motorsport Games lost $14.3 million in 2023 with an accumulated deficit of $87 million. In addition to the money lost and deficit, the company currently has just $1.3 million cash on hand as of March 29, 2024 with a monthly burn rate of $1.1 million.

Currently, the company has no planned releases for 2024. The studio employees 71 people as of December 31, 2023, 52 of which are developers.
does not look good for them, especially considering that they sold the rights to NASCAR (which means that at the end of the year they won’t have the ability to sell content related to it). Without some pretty big changes I don’t see them lasting much longer, I’m surprised I didn’t think they were in that bad of shape.
Yeah I’m well aware I have myself as do not disturb on most platforms and have already decided it’s going to be a lost cause to find any of my Discord servers because more than half of them change their icon and channel names, woohoo 4/1 e.e
If they forced separation between chromium and Google I would say go for it, but as it’s standing there is way too much power for Google to be like hey nudge nudge do it this way and then they would control the entire ecosystem
With that being said I do still think that there should be some form of competition regardless
I do agree that it has it’s merits, I just don’t think that it helps for accepting different POV’s which is something I feel is important on social platforms due to the amount of people on it. I tend to not let down votes effect me, my complaint is strictly visibility side
I’m glad you have found a way to help yourself with the current system! I gave up myself XD
