That’s really neat but also seems like it could be quite dangerous in a lot of use-cases!

“Expedited next day (war)shipping!”

You with Trump with invading Canada then? A 1812 rematch?

Oh no, please don’t give that bloated orange Slurm mascot any more ideas.

What do you think they would do to stop it?

How does

“Naval assets filling the sky with a stupidly impossible number of militarized drone swarms using highly classified AI-augmented coordination and cyber warfare which will dump a ton of really nasty crap into an already struggling ocean”

sound?

Because that’s the plan, apparently. =\

My local library has it on an app called Libby. You might be able to check it out that way to see if you’re into it. :)

Yeah the U.K is currently an Exhibit A for “See why this was a terrible idea?!”

It’s amazing how these people repeatedly bark for their billionaire masters thinking one day they’ll be worthy of scraps.

I want this on a t-shirt!

(Go for it, T-shirt bots)

Basically It turns out people with harmful ideas (white erasure) also use the Internet, and mods don’t always insta-ban them.

To some users the existance of misbehavior of a few, without a loud and self-righteous reaction, convicts the entire instance of Heresy.

TL;DR: Don’t worry about it.

Hey I wanted my RGB sticks okay?! Jk hahaha.

You’re right! I think…I don’t have a swap partition on this machine. I think I was gonna set up a swap file but that was a bit more involved post-install than I wanted to delve into at the time…

…but I did get ZRAM working, and that’s pretty amazing! It feels like getting more RAM for free haha.

It wasn’t the most absolutely necessary upgrade in the world, but I feel like it gives me more room to get away with dumb things and course correct in things like Blender, and might come in handy down the line since I don’t see myself upgrading much for a while.

I just now upgraded to 64GB of DDR4 from eBay. But that’s because my Blender projects were getting really big and I’d crashed a few times. Linux is awesome but is really scary how it just hard-freezed or mercilessly thrashes when low on memory. 😬

…That and I finally get glorious RGB RAM lighting up my case. :D weee!

For gaming? I haven’t seen that much RAM be usedul yet. And in Blender… likely because I have a crazy amount of undo levels enabled and have Firefox open…a few tabs…maybe more than a few tabs…maybe a lot of tabs…

Basically just one of those idle clicker games at this point…

Unfortunately I’m fairly sure that particular monster actually had some sense of charisma and strength-projection. I’m sure people still saw through it, but couldn’t say much because he was considered a “world leader” with the rest of em.

This, of course, was before the grand spectacle that was reality television, so now our megalomaniacal monsters simply have to generate interesting headlines and do bozo nonsense to attempt world takeover.

I’m legit surprised MrBeast or a Kardashian hasn’t attempted to buy rulership over a smaller country at this point. You know, just for the views.

And they always preach they wanna “run this country like a business.”

It’s so bleak.

And it’ll watch, listen, and report on you the entire time!

I don’t see how people fall for these grocery-store smartphone appliances on wheels, but their predictable, dangerously entitled driving patterns tend to check out.

Whaaat that’s crazy interesting! Thanks for replying!

I know there’s been a lot of progress made with Monado on these units but the controllers are still no-go from my understanding. Is he using the controllers or just the HMD? :O

I might just have to spend a weekend figuring out how to build Monado hahaha.

After that huge “Salt Typhoon” hack against major telecoms, you’d think people would take “security nightmare” a little more seriously!

Truth is though, your average Valorant/League/Whatever player probably isn’t even aware of it running when they smash through ok -> ok -> agree -> yep -> accept -> accept -> ok -> play.

Any kernel-level anything connected to major corporate servers should be scary and taboo, but except for the alarm-raisers who know what they’re talking about, most people don’t even understand the implications.

I’m glad Steam is at least marking a big “This game requires kernel level anti cheat” on store pages now. It looks ugly, possibly scary, so maybe that’ll raise some awareness and make developers not want to go with it.

“Cant have those TenCent CCP botnets sniffing the same customers WE’RE sniffing! Get outta here!”

–M$, prolly lol

Out of sheer curiosity is he using a fancy Steam VR kit like an HTC Vive or something?

I’ve fully switched over to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed at this point but I’m so bummed out my Samsung Odyssey is relying on heroic support from Monaco dev(s?) to even have a hope of it running.

But Windows is killing WMR too and they don’t care, so OS really isn’t an issue here. I’m keeping my Win10 partition there getting dusty though, because it still has WMR on it. =\

Man that’s sad, because I was considering it just because it had a stronger “Network Effect” than Mastodon.

That FOMO is pretty real though. These multiplayer service games are a flash in the pan sometimes, where once their heyday is over, they become “Hey remember that old game?” and there might be some reverse-engineered private servers running from like, Lithuania, with 4 people online after that lol.

I feel this pretty hard with Helldivers 2. I had a BLAST with the first game! Loved it! And apparently this one is good too!

But Sony is determined to be Sony, and it’s got kernel-level requirements, so nope, I’m missing out. It does suck, because before all the drama I really looked forward to it. It genuinely looks fun. I see my friends playing it. Oh well.

Watching Arcane made me almost wanna fire up League of Legends again, but once they announced their anti-cheat, I quit forever. (Probably for the best, let’s be honest lol.)

So yeah with an OS, I think people feel like some killer app will come out and if they’re not running a system it was tailor-made for, they’ll miss out on it entirely.

For all my disc games or other just standalone .EXE stuff, Bottles has been nothing short of mind-blowing.

I’d say the Flatpak might be your best bet if you’re on a rolling distro.

My only other tip is to make sure you set your Bottles directory to wherever your storage partition is, as it’d probably fill up your /home by default pretty quick!
