  • There's a "US Gov protecting fossils" joke in there somewhere but I don't really want to kick that hornets nest.

  • They were limiting their own production to raise demand and keep the price high, but then realized their competitors were benefiting from selling at those higher prices... so now they're going to raise their own production and try undercut competitors on prices. They have the capacity to out-produce their competition, so they can afford to sell for slightly less than competitors if they want to, hence the "long and shallow” price war quote.

    They are against low prices, but if anyone is buying low they want to be the one selling it.

  • Main character syndrome.

  • I've had no issues with Dash to Dock, this looks more like an ArcMenu issue to me based on your screenshot.

    In the description for ArcMenu they say:

    Requires GMenu package:

    • Depending on your distro you may need to install 'gir1.2-gmenu-3.0', 'gnome-menus', or 'libgnome-menu-3-0'

    Have you got that dependency covered?

    What other extensions do you have installed? What versions of Ubuntu and GNOME are you using?

  • every time I got lost in the ship builder, I'd spend an hour on some crazy design, be a piece away from saving it, and the game would just lock up and stop responding to input. Only ever happened in ship builder. I lost like 4 hours to that flippin' bug!

  • I found Fallout 4 had good gameplay, but the main questline didn't connect with me at all. I'm currently playing through Starfield at the moment, have like 220 hours playtime, I honestly wish I wasn't finding it so boring but it's easily the most bland Bethesda game I've ever played.

    The story writing seems kinda half-arsed, but my main issue with Starfield is in the environments. Every location feels the same, and the planets are all just barren deserts with a random base and two caves plopped on it. At least Fallout 4's environment felt hand-crafted, and not just like they rolled three dice.

    What part of it do you connect with most?

  • Now try Starfield.

    You'll find it so shallow that Fallout 4 seems like the Mariana Trench.

  • I’m not doing this for approval.

    Okay. Go away and do it then.

  • Maybe it'll be a temporary deal with Sky, they have the rights to HBO stuff until some time in early 2026, and its the sole reason we (UK/RoI) don't already just have HBO Max as a streaming service.

  • My monitors.xml has two <configuration> blocks, with the only real difference being that one has <layoutmode>physical</layoutmode> and the second has <layoutmode>logical</layoutmode>. I don't really think that'd be the issue here though, because if the dummy plug is listed as disabled it shouldn't be trying to use it anyway...?

    I think you're right in reporting it to the GDM repo, at a minimum someone there will know where to point you towards figuring this out. Maybe the GNOME Mutter repo might be a related stop for this too, seeing that's the part generating the monitors.xml...

    The things that are supposed to be simple are always the bits that suck the most!

  • Yeah, seems like it should just be working...

    You've probably already got this covered, but when you created your user monitors.xml config, did you have the dummy plug connected and disabled?

    Maybe the config:

    • has it included as a monitor and enabled as part of the screen layout
    • or possibly doesn't include it at all, and then GDM just assumes it can/should use it as a new option?
  • When you copy over your monitor config, are you correcting the ownership/permissions?

    The little scriptlet I made to combat a previous nvidia/wayland multi-monitor headache boils down to:

     bash
        
    sudo cp $HOME/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/
    sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml
    
      

    Maybe double check if GDM is ignoring wayland as well, I've definitely had that happen in the past too.

  • So instead of Elijah joining The Righteous in AEW, The Righteous join Eiljah in TNA?

  • Your honor my client, Terry Bollea, is not guilty of the charge of fraud; The service offered a private and personal correspondence with "Hulk Hogan", a clearly fictional character from television. Any reasonable person would know it's not legitimately going to be a conversation with Mr. Bollea!

  • I'm surprised at some of the names (Ben Askren, Gable Steveson) on the talent side of things, but business-wise, this feels like it's gonna be a stinker. They've probably found some way to just pump and dump tax credits or VC funding through this or something.

  • Deluxe also includes Morrowind and Skyrim.

    ack-tually... that's a separate Elder Scrolls Summer Bundle. The "base" GOTY version has Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles included, and then the "Deluxe" GOTY version adds all the smaller horse armor tier micro-transaction DLCs too. (that AFAIK you can't buy separately any more?)

  • "okay, done. Now will you sign my shit?" - those oblivious airport dickheads

  • I feel TJP is somehow even less interesting to me than Chase Owens is, and that's a low bar to limbo under.

  • The one random Scotland appearance is a choice.
