We should probably change it to “American style capitalism” as the behaviour seems to have either originated or mainlined in America first. But it’s seen in most global and domestic software companies around the globe today.

Interesting, if it’s a native Wayland app, I’d guess the issue is just gnome problems then - from what I hear gnome is one of the poorest DEs for Wayland use, mainly because they refuse to support things the same way that everyone else agrees to, if at all. And they take a fair amount longer to deliberate and agree how to implement anything they do decide to support.

I’d think of looking at KDE, which is very functional at this point, or a wlroots based Compositor/WM, - hyprland seems like one of the more well supported window managers out of the ones using wlroots.

Let me guess… You’re running an X.Org based WM/DE?

X11 Doesn’t support fractional scaling properly . So some DEs will simulate it by scaling the apps the same way you scale a rasterized image like a PNG or JPEG, and as a result everything looks blurry. You’ll generally also have the same issue with XWayland apps on a Wayland display.

The best way to combat this? Try to use Wayland native apps as much as possible.

2nd best? Use non fractional values for scaling (x1 or x2 instead of x1.25)

She turned me into a newt!

I got better…

Idk, the HL tau cannon is pretty dope

Also, everything we say is made up by humans.

I guess I need a second set of shoes so when I send my old ones off to the shoe repairer I still have something to wear.

That’s my problem now, Ive only got one good-ish pair, and they ain’t leather

Not only that, but aside from fossil fuels, what’s the next worst culprit of greenhouse gas emissions? Fashion. Our practices in producing cheap, poorly made replaceable clothes and not making the effort into at least splashing out into clothes that last longer and maybe even repairing what we’ve got is a huge problem.

Most pairs of shoes I buy often don’t last longer than 3 months. And when I do finally get one that lasts longer I wear them till the soles fall out of them. My current pair I’ve had for at least 2-3 years.

Just use dishwashing powder and laundry powder/liquid.

Dishwasher pods kinda suck anyway. And most dishwashers have a spot for powder during the prewash, which it’s highly recommended to use. (Look up technology connections videos on the topic)

Doesn’t mean it won’t either - most people won’t realise the computer is still usable, either by workarounds or installing a different OS - they’ll either trash the PC, recycle or sell it. Or keep using it not caring that its complaining constantly that it’s out of support. (And when they do, it’s “how can I get rid of this annoying error” not “how can I update this?” - they probably didn’t even read the error - and god forbid you manage to do the update, they won’t like it if you do)

Hell most people don’t even know Linux even exists, and a lot of them couldn’t even tell me what their operating system name is.

I’ve had relatives that try to ask what’s going on and say “I have 11” without elaborating that it’s windows 11. I remember years ago my aunt said I have version 97. Referring to, at the time the totally unrelated fact that she had Office 97 installed on her winXP machine. Took me ages to work out what she actually meant.

Aww, where’s the community for videos about bread?

Nope, you have to obtain the decryption keys yourself - I spent hours hunting around online for a set of console keys and firmware dump to get the emulator working on my steam deck.

If you own a moddable switch you can dump the keys legally, but I don’t plan on doing that any time soon.

Your plan: laser focused on the destination.

God’s plan: it’s all about the journey!

I used to play the original PoTC version

If you’re into MMO and jack sparrow- The Legend of Pirates Online - a remake of an old PoTC online game is a thing

Holy shit… That’s nuts. I do see the occasional boolean in there. But it might as well be ifs ints and strings like you said.

Man went full static C programming in C# and coded the whole thing in what looks like one class. Instances?, loops excepting XNA gameloop? What’s that? Whos that? Where’s that?

Honestly I’m not even mad, that’s dedication. Dedication and a refusal to learn more than just the basics. Kinda want to buy the game now just to see how far a fucktonne of if statements can get. By the looks of it, I’d say straight into the dragons maw.

The worst of these is Bluetooth. I bought a USB dongle with a chipset said to be compatible.(CSR 8510 A10) Then I found it was a knockoff version of the chipset with some weird ass quirks that make it incompatible with the official drivers. To this day it’s the one thing I never bothered to try and fix, even though others have succeeded in making the fix. The fix wasn’t something I could easily turn into a DKMS module as I have no idea how to do that, and as a result it had to be compile with the kernel manually and I want ready to go diving into kernel and at the same time also trying to work out exactly what the quirks were.

I eventually bought a dongle with a chipset that worked was either not a knockoff or it was a perfect reproduction. It worked flawlessly, and I’ve bought more since then for PCs with no Bluetooth support.

Me: oracle, oracle and more oracle

Damnit, who put a maze with no exits in this cage?

I sleep on my side, and wake up on my face, with a dead arm.

Some games proton might not be enabled by default - on Linux go into the steam game settings for the game you want, click the compatibility page, and check the box “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”, select the version - if one doesn’t work, try another - proton 8 is a good start, proton experimental is usually a good second option. Wait for steam to download proton if it hasn’t already, and the game should now play like normal

Note: some games might require additional configuration, or custom versions of proton to work. Other games won’t work due to anticheat.

https://www.ProtonDB.com is a good option to check on games and see how to get the more complicated ones running.

https://Areweanticheatyet.com is a good way to see what games that have anticheat will work and what won’t work.

For non steam games running proton try installing the heroic games launcher - it’s like a combined launcher for Epic, Gog and Amazon Games.

Another problem is if you’re trying to sub to a community on lemmy.zip, it can be impossible if the server hosting your instance has blocked all .zip domains through their hosts file or even their Lemmy instance. You would be able to see it, but your instance won’t.

People and admins not trusting that TLD can be just as detrimental to people interacting with legit sites on that TLD, as its potential for abuse is at making it untrustworthy to begin with
