  • Die richtig großen laufen oft unter Windmaschine. Zwar nicht die typische Wohnzimmerästhetik, dafür viel Leistung.

  • Finally some good news, 2027 is going to be a good one!

  • I'm a Millennial and work in IT. We aren't magical. There's competent and incompetent people in all age groups. I wouldn't even say we had better starting conditions overall because being good with tech was seen as cringe nerd stuff when I grew up.

    I think your theory is mostly right though, just along the lines of competent/incompetent. So many people constantly choose what they believe the path of least resistance with tech, even if it actually isn't. Don't spend one or two minutes to learn how to save to PDF in Word, instead google "word to pdf" and upload whatever sensitive data you have in that DOCX to some shady website.

  • I'd recommend putting more time into switching to Linux instead of pirating Enterprise versions of Windows and then installing and configuring a bunch of third-party software that is supposed to stop Microsoft from doing all the Microsoft things we don't like. That seems like it's a lot of work and effort too, plus they are actively hostile towards users instead of just "not ready".

  • I'm hoping repairable tech is going to become more and more common. So far neither Framework nor Fairphone seem like grifters while some that came before didn't end up fulfilling their promises.

  • And what was up with 3 different styles of settings pages?

    And from a company that used to scaremonger about Linux being inconsistent and therefore wasting time & money...

  • 1 Fups bite

  • The idea of the Basilisk is constructed in such a way that it makes it sound inevitable, like some sort of mind virus that wills itself into existence through fear and panic, then asserts that it likely already happened. I think saying no to that is a pretty clear example of a universal principle because there so obviously isn't an upside/a way to frame it as a positive. The whole concept is insane and explicitly only brings suffering. I trust that humanity wouldn't ever do this because of that.

  • Categorical imperative is escape enough for me. Don't assume it has been built, nobody in their right mind would do such a thing. Everything else is giving in to fear, panic and selfishness because spooky sci-fi devil computer.

  • Besides, what do you mean no fractional scaling? It’s supported since 6.0 and improved significantly since then with more improvements to come. Even Firefox now handles it very well (in my use). I have good time even with weird scaling factors like 180%, 155% etc

    Huh, you are right, I should check that out then, thank you! Most machines we have at work thankfully don't need it, but a while ago KDE and Gnome seemed to be the only ones implementing it in a workable way for those that do.

  • It’s just whether you grew up / are more comfortable using Windows or Mac.

    No, it's clearly about the amount of fan art the mascots of each ecosystem have. That is also why Overwatch is clearly the greatest game of all time.

  • I think what happened there is that the share is anonymously readable, but not writeable. So he could connect to smb://srv/share and it seemed to work, but what was actually needed is smb://user@srv/share - hard to diagnose the issue just from the video though.

  • It's one of the main reasons I decided not to use KDE for Linux trials at my workplace. KDE applications can use KIO with network shares and it's actually pretty great, but I/we can't stay strictly within the KDE ecosystem. GVFS is great because it provides a fallback, even for the terminal. KIO used to be able to do this too, through a GVFS compatibility layer, but development on that feature stopped.

    So we're doing Cinnamon, all the Windows-like familiarity of KDE and some of the stuff from Gnome/GTK that are just better there. Hope they can reach their Wayland goals this year though, no fraction scaling is pretty bad for some laptops. On the other hand, those displays shouldn't exist in the first place...

  • A ghost wizard? Perchance?

  • Too late, I have given all of my bones to Slepp the Idol in 2007.

  • The concept of zero is scary, so it's a wizard shooting lightning from all orifices. Makes sense.

  • I haven't played that many fantasy action-ish RPGs lately, but I always thought that Gothic II was way more engaging than Oblivion or Morrowind. More compact world (which to me means less filler), also janky and just a hand full of voice actors, but a lot more personality IMO. Not a perfect game by any means though.

    I've been meaning to play Kingdom Come 2 because it seems to be cut from a similar cloth, including giving NPCs things to do when you're not around. For the exploration factor there's some great RPGs without the action mechanics out there, I liked Wasteland 2 and Caves of Qod. My over all favorites have been Mass Effect 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 (2.0), but those are probably too far removed from what TES is doing.

  • The only explanation I have is that it's mostly people who never tried something else/never found something else they liked in the genre. And people who are really into TES games seem to also be heavily into modding them, so there's that.

  • I don't understand why The Elder Scrolls series has so much goodwill, there are many better, more interesting RPGs out there. The sandbox factor has the depth of a puddle as well.
