Screw Halfbrick rule
  • If you went to a store, purchased a board game, took it home and played it for a couple years, and then suddenly someone from that store came to your house, took the game from you and prevented you from playing it further, would that not be them stealing your money? Not really sure how this is different.

  • Screw Halfbrick rule

    I paid for this game in 2021 because I wanted to play Fruit Ninja now and then and I didn’t want to deal with ads or all the weird stuff in the newer version. It is now unplayable without paying for the stupid new subscription service. They’ve basically just stolen the money I paid them now.

    Open-Source AMD GPU Implementation Of CUDA "ZLUDA" Has Been Taken Down
  • Ryujinx is also freely available and doesn’t have the weird past that Yuzu did, and also wasn’t forced to shut down.

    I’m honestly not sure why everyone is holding on to Yuzu so strongly when Ryujinx has been a better option for a while now.

  • Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app
  • Not having backups here on iOS stresses me out. I like using iOS beta updates, but knowing I’m one bad beta from having to restore my phone (where every other little thing except Signal is backed up and waiting) and lose my conversation history forever really bugs me.

  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • Don’t even get me started on disk partitioning. I feel like they somehow have the most obtuse partitioning setup out of every distro I’ve ever installed. It feels like if you don’t just hand over your whole disk (which, if you do that, I feel like it doesn’t make it clear how it’s going to partition it), the installer gets very spiteful and just goes “fine then, figure it out”. I’ve never had so much trouble manually partitioning a disk before, I would literally rather just use fdisk lol.

  • AMD GPU driver with opencl support?
  • Second this. rusticl worked perfectly for me when I needed to get OpenCL working with my 6600XT.

  • Using gaming controllers for anything other than gaming ?
  • DualShock 4 and DualSense touch pads do this too! They even support multi touch so you can do left/right/middle click by using multiple fingers.

  • I wonder if the Rule continues
  • I believe it’s suggesting the negative reviews are all people with COVID, with the spikes in negative reviews being spikes in COVID cases, based on the dates.

  • Apple ends block on EU app store for Fortnite-maker Epic
  • I like this comment because I have no idea which of the two parties it refers to, because they’re both acting like spoiled children.

  • KDE 6 FOR ARCH LINUX IS HEREEEEEEE
  • Oof yeah, definitely noticed some of those. I also totally lost screen share for both Wayland apps via portals and X11 apps in Xwayland, which really sucks.

  • KDE 6 FOR ARCH LINUX IS HEREEEEEEE
  • Really wish I had waited. Post-update screen share is totally dead on my system. Apps that request access via a portal don’t work and never are given access to whatever I select and X11 apps that try to share X11 apps just have a black screen. It’s sucked because of how often I screen share on discord, and I’ve now totally lost that in both the client and on web. OBS virtual camera can’t even help me now because it can’t get access to anything.

    Also on my girlfriend’s computer it totally broke graphical acceleration in the shell. Anything that uses it causes the whole shell to lag, and it makes any playing audio choppy.

    There’s also lots of little annoyances around like the entire shell crashing when I change themes that have made me wildly unimpressed so far.

    You’re best off waiting.

  • Is it possible to install ubuntu or another linux distro on a 2014 macbook pro?
  • I had Arch on my trusty 2012 MBP too, right up until my SSD gave out 😓

    It ran great while it was alive tho and I’d definitely recommend it.

  • I feel like I'm taking crazy pills
  • Estrogen? It works for my girlfriend and her Linux shenanigans!

  • Anyone install Linux on a Chromebook?
  • Yep, I have Arch Linux running on a random Asus Chromebook I had lying around. Only 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM so I have to keep things light, but it works!

  • Be honest, do you still use reddit?
  • I only go to reddit now if I look something up and get a link to it. I don’t go there to browse anymore.

  • Which way do your blåhaj pet?
  • I have a big one that pets tail to head and a small one that pets head to tail. My sister got a small one at the same time I got my small one and hers pets head to tail.

  • Anyone else completely unable to upload images?
  • Yeah ok this was indeed the solution, compressed the image down to ~600KB and it uploaded fine.

  • Purple socks and KDE

    Yes that is one of the default wallpapers for the 15" MacBook Air.

    Anyone else completely unable to upload images?
  • Ah ok. I shall attempt some image compression and see if that works shortly.

  • Anyone else completely unable to upload images?

    What the title says. I’m trying to upload an image but whenever I go to attach it, I just get SyntaxError: JSON Parse Error: Unrecognized token '<' twice. I’d demonstrate but uh that’s kind of my issue. I’ve tried from the site on mobile and on desktop and it’s the same issue. Community doesn’t seem to matter because I don’t even have to get that far to try.
