  • I think I tried emudeck and it wouldn’t install. But that wasn’t their issue (turned out to be a regression upstream).

    I think I had stuttering sound in audio too. But that’s via HDMI.

    Spdif no issue

    I also used another gaming distro though so might be confusing them

    They should absolutely keep developing it. It will only get better, and I’m a unique case because I’ve been using Linux probably since 1998 or so.

    But I feel they make things a bit more custom, and it will only get better. It has a lot of potential, and is probably the best option already for many people





  • I disagree… The problem actually is that Wayland is optional, and still is.

    So everyone was dragging their heels (and some still are). If all the major distro’s set a cut off date, then things would speed up. The biggest reason for delay was Nvidia imho, so now that they’re sorted, it seems things are falling into place faster.

    X11 still hasn’t solved any of their real issues, and its still a security nightmare (which can’t be fixed). Furthermore, most of the developers have moved off it.

    What exactly do you like about X11?

    And the biggest badasses I know also drive some of the crappiest cars and such too.

    When more hilariously, here in Australia, I do a lot of hiking and such, and the badasses these days tend to be women. There’s a lot of macho guys who talk big, but I’ve done some scary hikes with elderly women and a woman with Parkinson’s.

    The guys and women i.know who do the most crazy stuff also tend to be the most friendly people

    This was one of those toxic questions designed to cause people to argue. That’s really its ONLY purpose. It really only has 2 answers, and both can be interpreted as toxic.

    My 2 cents though, here in Australia, you’ll occasionally get a question about staying safe when hiking as women.

    You’ll have a huge majority of women saying its safe to hike in Australia, and then 1 or 2 women encouraging women to bring knives or weapons. The ones who claim this then get a huge negative response by both women and guys pointing out it makes things more dangerous for everyone and that nobody needs them.

    As a male guide also, I’ve actually found it difficult to find other guys to hike with, but it is incredibly trivial for me to find women to join me (in fact, doing one this upcoming weekend).

    So, interpret that as you will, but, honestly, the people who are incredibly invested in either of these answers, in my opinion, nobody would want to hike with regardless (bears, other women or men), so the answer doesn’t affect them.



  • You can’t think of it a single massive project. It’s actually lots of small components.

    We could argue the linux kernel is bloated too. The reality is though, provided the project is designed to be modular (as SystemD is), it actually makes sense to keep it together, to ensure there is a standard base and all the components are synchronised fully with their API’s.

    It also saves distro’s a lot of effort.




  • It’s a worse issue though. Don’t forget that companies like Sony have put literal rootkits onto their audio CD’s as part of protection. And lots of owners have gotten screwed by updated protection schemes on legitimate hardware (which is why companies like Dune HD seemed to give up)

    You’re not only giving them permission to play back a movie, but, on BluRays, you give them permission to run code too on your player.

    The house always wins with BluRays. They’re not cheap, they can fail prematurely, and you can’t back them up. And a lot of the companies have screwed us for decades now. It’s absolutely insane

    Unless you’re buying from small companies, otherwise companies like Disney simply get more power

    Except it’s not.

    Here in Australia we have preferential voting which is much better, but Biden and Trump are not the same.

    Honestly, this is just the current strategy that right wingers seem to have switched to

    Trump is a total psychopath who only cares about himself. He’s a criminal. The fact they’re trying hard to indict Biden, have for months but have found nothing should be a strong indicator he’s not (his son might be, but that has nothing to do with Biden, since unlike Trump’s kids, he wasn’t part of government).

    Trump made it clear he would cause a insurrection months before it happened, and now he’s backed into a corner, what do you think will happen if he becomes president? He’s made it clear that he will act like a dictator

    Seriously, if you guys vote Trump, it will f*** everyone. They’re not the same

    I wonder how many adults here saw porn as a kid? If we’re being honest, probably the majority. Kids don’t find youporn unless they’re looking for it.

    There is a highly effective way of preventing kids accessing porn, by being a parent and watching them (ie, put the computer in a public area) and also installing porn blockers in parallel. That’s the solution.

    The problem with laws like this, is that they’re easy to abuse and they’re created by people who don’t understand technology either (so they’re happy to make tech less useful, or they’d even ban some of it entirely if they could be to level the playing field).

    It’s more important to keep kids away from unsolicited porn specifically and creeps, and that can be some simply by requiring a site warning and monitoring them online

    You’re still buying Nintendo hardware.

    Honestly, I stopped using Nintendo because of all the joycon issues, the fact they’ve been mainly just remaking the same games for 30 years and they screwed Wii u customers. You need to re buy the same games again.

    On Wii u, not sure if this changed, but if you broke the main controller, you basically couldn’t replace it.

    They have a better rep than Microsoft and Sony , but I’m not convinced they deserve it

    No idea why anyone would buy anything except a steamdeck these days
