Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet?
  • This is true. And it's also why I always recommend downloading steam through their website. They distribute their own Deb directly, and it auto updates.

    Flatpak version is also okay but if you want to use a secondary disk then you need to know how to use portals (or the Flatpak configuration tool that I can't remember the name of).

  • People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account
  • I'm not sure how that applies here.

    I am talking about enterprises being able to leverage their current infrastructure to manage their users in Mastodon from a central location, Like AD. Rather than have to manage local accounts.

    I am not talking about activitypub in anyway.

  • People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account
  • I'm not sure on the capabilities of Mastodon. But companies will never go for this if Mastodon doesn't support saml or active directory (or other Auth systems). It needs to integrate with their enterprise tools.

  • Disk space counted twice on root folder?
  • This might help in the future in case you setup a remote mount for backups in the future. Look into using systemd's automount feature. If the mount suddenly fails then it will instead create an unwritable directory in its place. This prevents your rsync from erroneously writing data to your root partition instead.

  • Trying to Download Fallout New Vegas on Lutris but getting an error code. I feel like I need to manually select 32 Bit download but Ihave no idea,
  • You can download the installer to any folder you like. Use the plus button as the person above said. And you will probably be able to leave most settings as default. Just keep going through the prompts until it asks for the file.

    If you run into issues. First go into the configuration and make sure that the executable is correct. (sometimes it points at the crash reporter executable)

    If you get errors after that you might check protondb and see if people have other runner/wine suggestions. (you can get other versions with protonupqt).

    I haven't run newvegas before. But it hopefully will just work tm.

  • What are your must-have programs?
  • I also like lutris. But it being "for games" doesn't do it justice I think. It is basically just a wine environment manager. It advertises as being for games but it should work with just about any windows executable.

  • What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?
  • I did something similar (that my professor still talks about in class as a cautionary tale)

    I ran chown -R user .* (intending to target all hidden files in the folder) and for people that don't know .* also matches .. (.. was / in this case) which changed the permissions on all files on the system to that user, including sudo.

    We fixed it by mounting the root of the file system in a docker container which effectively gave us root.

  • ISPs can charge extra for fast gaming under FCC’s Internet rules, critics say
  • Net neutrality being brought up as an election topic would be very unusual for our politics. Our two party system is very set on the topics that they like and don't like to bring up.

    Of course the parties have negative incentive to do anything more than the bare minimum about these topics that they fight so hard to advertise. Otherwise, they might need to come up with new reasons for people to vote for them.

  • Excluding the Horror genre and individual movies in a series, what movie story ends with evil winning?
  • I am going to put in little shop of horrors since it is a musical. And I really would not consider it horror.

    For those of you that don't know there are actually 2 versions of this movie. The original release version where the plants lose and the ORIGINAL test audience version where the plants win.

  • MIT scientists have just figured out how to make the most popular AI image generators 30 times faster
  • I see your InvokeAI and raise you Stability Matrix

    Edit: I wanted to edit my comment to leave some context for people.

    Stability Matrix is an app that handles installing many different stable diffusion applications. (no more messing with InvokeAI's janky install script).

    It also integrates with CivitAI and HuggingFace to directly download models and Lora and share them between your applications, saving you lots of diskspace.

  • I know this isn't the type of answer that you want to hear, but I really love my kindle. It may not be open-source but it works and I can upload books to it from my personal collection. And the battery life is much longer than an ordinary tablet.

    If you want to have something to tinker with then I have heard that the open book project is a pretty good build it yourself alternative.

  • what's the difference?
  • Just a few comments on this. Most people aren't "lazy", they just understand that the effort to run a bare repository is greater than basically any other solution. Also your incompatible features list implies that other git repo sites (gitlab, codecommit, bitbucket, etc) don't have their own form of proprietary stuff that you have to learn. In fact the newest version of gitlab actually changes their web ide into vscode web, because of the obvious, it is much better than their old ide.
