I’m not having a great time with DisplayLink driver support, personally. Various applications I use with mixed levels of support too, along with missing out on Windows specific GPU features.

This has been my most successful round of Linux adoption, but there are still niggling issues and confusion. The biggest difficulty is that my accumulated support knowledge of like 20 years is useless and I am relearning basic issue identification and resolution processes.

The internet being a raging dumpster fire, support is kind of patchy on more niche topics. All the good, useful discussions are largely happening behind closed doors at this point on everyone’s Discords and whatnot.

I’ll say it. Cats have bad work ethic.

I’m going to try to take this in the spirit that it was provided, but you’re using a lot of "…"s, and a lot of implications that what I’m saying is obvious, for a person trying to provide earnest assistance. I wasn’t requesting technical support or expressing surprise at these things, I was merely expressing that these were the things I was generally encountering difficulty with my transition to Linux as a daily driver.

The DisplayLink driver for instance is running, and basically functional, but ends up running slowly, with distortions, and instability. It also isn’t signed, so my plan to still run Secure Boot with the distro I’m using alongside Windows is out (without a lot of faff), but that largely won’t matter excusing some specific work setups that I don’t currently have to worry about. Having useful AMD specific driver level tools on Windows that don’t exist in Linux isn’t a surprise, it is a discouragement.

Forum content and non-Reddit content are a pain to locate, especially when you don’t know how to frame your problem in Linux syntax, as you say. Communities are either open but in specific places that I will never find without already knowing about it, or happening in places that aren’t accessible without having already joined, like the Discord of the specific software I need guidance on. My experience has been that there is basic info and there is advanced info out there, but intermediate info that lets you bridge the gap is a challenge to locate, especially with subtle differences in certain steps that are distro/package manager specific. Yet I press on.

That’s the real sticking point for me, it is a problem for my desire to transition to Linux as a daily driver.

Bitwarden is too functional and too affordable for me to really consider moving.

It’s not an overly sustainable service at the scale it is running.

This isn’t the second time, Proton complies with Swiss law regularly.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Proton is a service provider, not your confederate.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

It remains standard operating procedure for any law abiding company, and it benefits no one to pretend that it isn’t.

Sooo… shop around? Existing customers who show no indication that they will leave are prime candidates for reaming.

Well I can’t fault your logic.

They’re raking in huge amounts of additional revenue across the franchise and its associated content, getting new F76 players in to their microtransaction store, etc. The last thing that they are doing right now is kicking themselves.

And the show was actually good.

I have a space in my heart reserved for Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. :')

Have you asked it to show contacts as suggestion? If not then deny.

It’s a fork.

Loving it, I’ve been looking for a more customisable keyboard.

As a manager who sometimes hires, I can’t say that I would ever particularly care about the education section for the types of roles I hire for, let alone put it first and foremost.

Also, personally, my own CV combines my role’s duties and its achievements/projects together for each of the jobs I’ve had, with a primary focus on the recent.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

If you don’t have an experience section at all, then sure that’d bump it up the list.

Is EeteSync free? It seems to be offering trials and paid plans.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

The Fossify apps do look pretty slick.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Is it free? It’s suggesting a free trial.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Nice, thanks.

They’re been working on BG3 for so long as a studio… I can imagine wanting to work on something else.

Here’s hoping for a Games Workshop based RPG, maybe a Warhammer Old World story.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

It is pretty absurd.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

People are well within their rights in being deeply disappointed by something that they had high hopes for. Go figure.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Yes.

I swapped over to a Sunshine host (non-NVidia version of Moonlight) + Moonlight client combo for game streaming and it absolutely blew Steamlink out of the water for me. Went from lag, resolution switching and disconnects to buttery smooth on my Pi400 at 1080p.

What games can you not get into because they feel too outdated?

Are there games that you tried but just couldn’t get into because they feel outdated? Games that, in theory, you would enjoy, but don’t because the controls, graphics, writing, or mechanics just don’t feel good anymore. Games that, compared to today, just don’t hold up to your standards....

ChaoticEntropy,

There are specific things about OoT that irritate me, but I can generally still get some enjoyment.

If you want to say something is a false positive by all means, but just pretending that culturally none of this exists helps no one.

I wonder if they’ll spend as much time defining what an LLM shouldn’t be talking about/doing as they would defining what a non-LLM should be talking about/doing.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

So today then?

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

On a similar note, avoiding watching a guy’s butt wiggle for 20-40 hours.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Congratulations!

Easier to character create someone who you have more specific preferences over. Can’t really get as invested in how aesthetically pleasing my generic human bloke is, but I play more male non-human races.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

I remember all the marketing and promises for Black and White 2 that were never realised. It doesn’t feel like they really managed the first sequel, let alone another one.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah… bearing the brunt of your owner’s budget cuts doesn’t sound like a good time. I do wonder how well the studio will survive in the current climate as an independent.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Do they plan to rename Twitch to Jerk?

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

If it starts to expand significantly in order to accelerate their efforts then that seed money will burn out increasingly fast. Unless they can establish significant ongoing income streams of some sort, or sacrifice capacity by keeping their structure similar to now, then they might burn out.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

That sounds like absolute chaos. O.o

Like playing DND with players you can’t strategize with.

I really can’t say that I’m especially excited about all this megalith centric gameplay. Seems like an attempt to make space in to not space.
