Sometimes I do like his videos, but this one was positioned so bad. The video does go over the changes in Plasma 6.1 and they are good, but this is not a huge change that would change anybodies live.
I know he is probably inspired by channels like Linus Tech Tips, but even they don’t got that far anymore. I think he probably intended this in a comedic way, as most of his audience knows that he makes his videos like this, but it really makes the videos worse.
He also seems to make a video almost every day. That really doesn’t help with the quality of the video’s. I doubt there is a lot of time to do additional research on the topic, so often it seems to just stick to the basic information from some kind of article and comments (and maybe a few related articles). And is often just related to the drama of the day.
Although he does sometimes have video’s that do require more research, but a lot of people won’t see those as they assume low quality because of many other video’s.
Maybe we have some bias on this topic, but I had the same thought. Maven is such a well known tool in IT, that I’m surprised they just created a social network with the same name. Until they get a bit famous this won’t be good for SEO.
I have been trying to get my partner into Pathfinder 2nd edition, and they do seem taken with it, however he’s been having some issues lately with PF2E. Notably, online. The more he gets into PF2E, the more hate he sees for 5E. He’s been playing 5E for years now and has invested a lot of time and love into the game, and to...
This sounds like a difficult problem if he wants to continue browsing the Reddit community for pathfinder. I have seen these kind of people on D&D subreddits too, and it also put me a bit off trying pathfinder during the OGL drama.
Maybe there are other communities outside of Reddit that are able to provide the answers to questions, but I doubt you will escape this hate on the larger TTRPG subreddits.
Although this feature sounds helpful, it really looks like they went too far with this. They should probably look for a way to sell these Copilot+ pc’s in another way if they can’t get this secure enough and probably keep it disabled for companies…
I’m surprised they didn’t make sure that the part that should help you hide sensitive information worked well before letting the first testers get their hands on the feature. All this bad news about the future doesn’t help convince people to turn it on.
I see there are several different ways to install OSRS on Linux - flatpaks, Android emulators, Steam, etc. - but can anyone recommend the best as far as ease of setup? With lack of glitches being the second priority?...
It would be nice if Jagex would confirm that it is fine to use this laucher. As far as I know we have no more information than this tweet from Mod Ash: x.com/kaelygon/status/1763667578315042847Bolt does work the same as the official launcher, so it should not be a problem…
I’m over tinkering with my OS. So I’m looking for a distro that “just works” out of the box for my laptop. Also I want to test an “easy” distro I can install for my grandpa....
Fedora might be a good option, but it might require more setup with an Nvidea GPU. They use Wayland now, are a Gnome based distro, support full disk encryption. For me the package mangar has been fine, and they do support flatpak. It is a very large distro with backing from RedHat. So it should generally be stable.
Pop_OS! Seems to be the great distro if you just want to game and watch videos without any issues arround setting up the drivers. It has been a quite stable distro for me and it is quite similar to Ubuntu. Unfortunately this distro doesn’t have Wayland yet.
Manjaro is an Arch based distro, but it had some issues with using packages from the AUR. They do run Gnome on Wayland by default.
I started with an openSUSE dual boot with KDE. I didn’t use Linux a lot at that point. Later, I switched to Ubuntu on a laptop for about a year and used that until I bought a MacBook. Eventually, I returned to Linux by running Pop!_OS on my desktop, but games were a bit choppy, and I really wanted to just run Wayland. I also started to use RHEL at work for our servers. So now I’m trying to switch to Fedora. I still have some issues with the Jagex Launcher, but aside from that, everything seems to work great now.
At home, I have also had an Ubuntu Server for many years, and I also run Ubuntu Server on my VPS.
This looks great. That would be quite a powerful low-weight machine with long battery life. If they won’t be too expensive (and gaming works on them) I might get one. At least RuneLite seems to already support ARM64 on Linux and these chips also put more spotlight on ARM trough Windows on ARM.
I think this video showcases an interesting aspect of gaming that I never really thought about before. In their case, they play more games for a shorter amount of time vs spending a large portion of their time in few games....
RuneScape is a great second monitor game, the game allows you to be very active when you want to and have time for that, chill semi-afk content when you also want to watch videos' on the side, and even 'click once every five minute' style gameplay. I have a bit over 9000 hours on my ironman.
After Runescape, my second most played game is definitely Minecraft, then Skyrim with about 550 hours, Fallout 4 with 300 hours and everything else is 115 hours or less.
They already made the mobile site practically unusable by constantly reminding you to use the app. The mobile browsing experience was just terrible. They can just show the same adds in the mobile browser…
