I dual boot, but I've been dreading booting back into Windows recently because I upgraded my motherboard/CPU and know they are going to make me buy another license. And I understand Windows is more convenient for a lot of people but I am not one of them.
I can't think of anything that is more convenient for me on Windows other than that I have to use it to run Studio One to record music from time to time. But "software availability" has nothing to do with the operating system itself; market position does. And a company's market position rarely drives my purchasing decisions.
I dislike Windows for all the reasons people here typically state.
I would guess it's set in the controller's firmware and can't be changed. D=
This is how I feel as a highly trained Sekiro beater when people say Shadow of the Erdtree is too hard.
It will be nice for Steam Deck and desktop Linux gamers. Discord will never fix their Linux game audio capture, and using OBS for this might be too complex for some people (and has its own issues on Wayland).
I just saw their Big Time video! Glad those guys have the guts to do that.
If hallucinogens are illegal, the sovereignty of your mind has already been undermined =o
Beware that points like this suggest that messaging platforms should be monitoring all communications sent between users. If that's the world you want to live in, ok, fine... But in this case the guy that committed the crime is the one who has been punished. Isn't that the correct result?
Donut - how? All the giga-sponsors they take lately?
Brushless motors should be able to work even when under water. These must be some seriously shitty motors.
My wife asked me to help her with her Windows laptop one day. She was stuck at the bitlocker prompt and of course didn't remember enabling it or being given a password. I was like, WTF, they're just randomly turning this on by surprise now? LOL
Luckily she was able to eventually get it unlocked by calling MS support.
Remember how it took several years for EA to figure out how to let you put more than one item in your shopping cart? LOL
Huh. I didn't think to check this cause it's never worked for me... D=
The problem is they're already talking about needing trillions of dollars worth of hardware to make it happen. It's absurd.
All data centers use lots of water for cooling.
Things like this always make me think, ok, there are some hoodlums disturbing the peace and they are trying to crack down. But wait, isn't whatever crime they are committing already illegal? We already have laws in place so why bring e-bikes into this?

This is the coolest corpse/refuse disposal system I've built yet. A couple stockpiles collect the garbage, and the mine cart pulls from those. When it's full, a citizen pushes it down the track to be dumped in a nearby lava lake!
A script that takes the game you're playing on steam and displays it on discord - JustTemmie/steam-presence
I just found this cool utility a couple days ago and have found that it's a great solution to sandboxed versions of Discord being unable to provide rich presence. It's a Python script that queries the Steam web API to get info to forward to Discord's API. The "installer" sets up a systemd service that will auto-run the script for you.
It requires you to get your own Steam API key which was a trivial, though slightly buggy, process for me. You can optionally use your own Discord app ID, or just use the one owned by the guy that created this script.
RIP James Randi who died before anyone could claim the his prize for playing RB1 over the board against Levy.
Sorry for the messy work bench but that's how it is with my DIY projects. 🙂 This is the Build Kit Boards Duo kit with a custom battery setup.
The battery enclosure is one from their site that is on fire sale due to being left over from their previous kit version. It doesn't exactly fit so I did a little work on it with a hacksaw. It is bound to the board via 8 thumb screws that attach to steel threaded inserts that I installed on the deck. I do have to remove all the screws to take the batteries out and charge them... I'd like to come up with a better solution but no good ideas so far.
For batteries I'm running three 5000mAh 4S LiPo batteries in series, so effectively a 12 cell. There is room in the enclosure for three more of these so I can have two 12 cell packs in parallel. I'm hoping for a 25 mile range from that setup.
I commuted to work on this this morning and had a blast! Electric skateboards kick ass.
This song popped up on Sirius XM this past weekend and I loved it. It's like a blend of Dimmu and Wilderun.
I’m saying goodbye to another set of friends who are leaving Dodge City and moving on to greener pastures outside of Kansas.
I've been gaming on Kubuntu for over 2 years now but recently have been getting interested in Garuda. I've booted into the live Dragonized Gaming iso and was really impressed with the out of the box gaming-centric setup.
I've also been looking for more reasons to switch away from Ubuntu, and have been hit with the EOL countdown for plasma in 23.04, so the time is right for a distro hop. With the latest Garuda release they added an official Hyprland variant which looks really cool too.
Does anyone use Garuda? What are your impressions/thoughts/experiences? What should I expect from switching to an Arch base? Same questions for Hyprland too.
I have 16 gigs of ram, an Intel i7 something and an nVidia 2080.
Edit: I booted into the Hyprland live iso last night and I must say, Hyprland is cool af. Really a breath of fresh air and very intuitive. I'm going to run with the install this weekend.
Inherited from my Opa whose memorial service I'm attending today. Has kind of an old man vibe to it, but I think it looks really sharp.
It was absolutely filthy when I got it. I spent about two hours de-gunking it, and what I assume is gold plating on the bracelet has almost entirely worn off. But I've enjoyed wearing it the last couple days. 🙂
I nominate I-80 in Illinois or I-70 in eastern Colorado. Crossing the border from Kansas to Colorado is like "holy f- OW I BIT MY TONGUE"
On some farmland in southeast MO. Big weekend with friends we do every year. We were the first ones in and last ones out.
Serious question. I had a friend born and raised near Seattle who I invited to come on a float trip in southeast Missouri. Her mind was blown that this is a thing people do - drinking and making a ruckus while floating down a river.
In MO, this is just a thing that people do. At least in rural areas. I had no idea it was regional. So, how far across this region does the concept of float trips go?
