It used to be this way and was one of my biggest complaints. It's no longer this way. Drivers for my Nvidia card works fine on my mint and arch setup.

Switorik ,

I used xorg on mint and wayland on arch. No issues related to drivers on either.

Dev says "false DMCA" from Microsoft got their sandbox game removed from Steam over apparent Minecraft copyright, all because of a screenshot of birch trees ( www.gamesradar.com )

Unomelon, the developer of Minecraft-inspired sandbox game Allumeria, says a DMCA from Microsoft, evidently related to Minecraft, got the game removed from Steam. ...

Wait until they figure out hytale released a similar looking game

Our goal of shipping all three products in the first half of the year has not changed. But we have work to do to land on concrete pricing and launch dates>

I had a co worker today say trump was the lesser evil between him and Kamala. Then proceeded to say he was better than Biden, Obama, and Bush. I've lost all respect for him.

Another one said there's no reason to worry about politics because you can't fix them. They also vote republican, 100% only because they supported the second amendment.

There's nothing you can say to change their mind. We're just fucked as a country because our average IQ seems to be in the single digits.

I don't really know where to post this so I'm hoping someone can point me to the proper community.

Ever since the first Pie feed update 2-3 months ago, lemmy sporadically works. It will load the initial "first" page of posts on both mobile and on the web (PC or phone). Posts seem to work fine when I use old.lemmy. On the phone, posts seem to work in "anonymous" mode. I don't know if this is specific to lemmy.zip or if the first piefeed update broke lemmy for me somehow. I've tried the usual, clear cache, delete files, and try new apps. I have the same issue on mint and arch. It will randomly just work for a day or two between the months. I don't know what to do anymore.

Switorik ,

I guess lemmy is dying. No one can fix the issue the piefeed update caused and no one cares.

Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney voices support for $900 million Steam lawsuit: 'Valve is the only major store still holding onto the payments tie and 30% junk fee' ( www.pcgamer.com )

Unsurprisingly, Epic Games CEO and frequent X poster Tim Sweeney has thoughts about the $900 million lawsuit against Valve in the UK, which recently got the go-ahead from a competition tribunal. Also unsurprisingly, given his competing store and past criticism of Steam, Sweeney approves of the action, and based on his related ...

Have you seen the prices of indie games coming out? Many are $5 to $20 and are far better than AAA games. What argument do they have that's preventing games lowering their prices?

If they dig into this, I'm sure they'll find greedy publishers to be the problem.

Switorik ,

I don't know how humble bundle works, but I get a fair amount of steam keys for much below the steam store price.

My first bidet was an electric Vovo one. It lasted just over a year until one day it randomly overheated and fried itself. The company wouldn't repair or replace it. With that being said, I no longer support electric bidets.

My second one and the one my wife and I still use is a Brondell.

It's simple. No electric. Front or back option with a knob. You really don't notice the cold. I'm debating buying a second one for my other bathroom.

I'm a steam and gog fan.

I use steam for the ability to plug in any controller I want and instantly be able to use it.
I can download controller maps from the community on the fly.
I can stream straight to my TV and play in any room with a TV in it with zero effort.
I can join my friends games with two clicks.
Remote play allows you to play games you don't even own with your friends.
Works on linux.
Integrated workshop. Easy modding.

I use gog for older games not on steam.
Works on linux. (Heroic at least)

I could go on with steam, but those are the key points stands alone games don't offer.

Switorik ,

I'm all for rulings against anti competition, but what does valve do that's actually anti-competitive? They're the most user focused storefront out there.

Are they stating AAA games have increased in cost because of this? I've noticed a lot of new games are $70 to $100+, but I've associated those with shitty companies being greedy.

Switorik ,

This is one of the main reasons people don't vote blue. They care a lot about their firearms. If the red start going after them, grab some popcorn because things will go down. Maybe this is whats needed to get them to open their eyes.

Switorik ,

I'm so sick of democrats doing absolutely nothing. We're fucked between these two shit parties.

Switorik ,

Different distros have different bells and whistles. Mint is a long term stable distro, but comes with a dated feel. Which is great for some. I've used it for about a year.

Switorik ,

Can we just give him Trump and call it even? He needs to go one way or another.

Switorik ,

Sold! Let's start this deal as soon as possible.

Switorik ,

I experience no worse fps than I would on windows. I have star citizen running better on linux then I did on the same windows machine. To each their own I guess.

Switorik ,

Can we start a go fund me to remove him from office since no one else with the power has the balls to do so?

Switorik ,

Why does pipewire suspend audio sources by default? This causes a popping sound everytime audio turns back on (~5 seconds).

It took me a while to figure out how to fix this the first time and is a nuisance for anyone trying to learn linux.

Switorik ,

I have a wired Logitech x-540 setup with front left/right and a sub plugged into their respective ports on the mobo.

I have to remove the suspend node on my mint and endeavor setup.

Switorik , (edited )

For Mint, comment out -- load_script("suspend-node.lua") in /usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/90-enable-all.lua

For Arch, add

wireplumber.profiles = {
  main = {
    hooks.node.suspend = disabled
  }
}

in /usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf

adding to restart wireplumber
systemctl --user restart wireplumber in konsole

I'm not familiar with fedora but hopefully that helps you out.

This is what kills any articles on the web. The first three paragraphs repeat the question you're looking to get answered and the last paragraph vaguely answers it.

I feel like an old person now but I've started watching movies from the 90s/2000s and I can't believe how much worse movies have become over the years.

Switorik ,

At this point, he's just an embarrassment. We need to hold him accountable and the world needs to stop censoring what's really happening.

Switorik ,

I'm about a year in. I started with mint and I'm on endeavor now. It can be a bit fiddly to get setup. Once setup it behaves the same way, but less ads and copilot/edge aren't forced on you non stop.

The only issue we have is anticheat, and that only affects games like battlefield/cod. So not much of a loss there.

Switorik ,

Reddits enshitification.

Switorik ,

Dear dems,

Please don't stop here. Do more to stop this terrorist from performing a coup in the USA. Thank you.

Switorik ,

Good luck. They think by not caring, the country will fix itself and then justify not caring because everything's falling apart. Makes no sense.

Switorik ,

Did you mount the sink with glue?

Switorik ,

Maybe instead of sneering distrust, try doing your research and vote? 20% of genx registered to vote.

Switorik ,

OK? That's obvious, but we're still in this predicament due to US citizens, genx included, not voting.

Venezuela's government accuses US of attacking civilian, military installations in multiple states ( apnews.com )

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states. ...

Please remove the cheeto from office. He did not win either popular vote. He is wreaking havoc because no one holds him accountable.

Switorik ,

It's because of their massive investment into data centers. They're spending billions of dollars on them and they're expecting people to rejoice, not call them slop.

If we keep calling them slop, we might make their investors sweat a little. I think it's time to double down.

Switorik ,

It's not wrong. This is why prompt engineers was a thing.

Switorik ,

I'm only playing devils advocate. I'm not a fan of LLMs myself.

You need to know how to use the tool to get the correct output. In this case, it's giving you a literal answer. Craft your question in a way so that it will give you what you're looking for. Look up "prompt engineer" for a more thorough answer. It's how we thought LLMs were going to be to begin with.

Switorik ,

Different language models input prompts differently.

Other models will input your question, break it down internally, figure out what you're really asking and then spit out an answer. It still might not be right but it will give you a better answer than that.

We're ragging on a wish.com version of a model and it's response.

Switorik ,

Would you rather have a new counter strike or dota come out every year so you lose everything you earn?

They made half life Alyx so I'll count it as a third installment.

Switorik ,

No one holds him responsible for anything. Our "checks and balances" system is beyond broken and he still has too many brain dead supporters.

Switorik ,

All and local no longer work at all since the update. It looks like it's loading but doesn't load.

Switorik ,

There's no error message, just forever loading. Steps to reproduce would be open the app and click all or local. I'm on a Samsung 25 ultra.

Switorik ,

It seems to work fine when I switch to anonymous. It must be a lemmy.zip issue. I don't understand how all these things work.

Switorik , (edited )

The last update fixed the posts loading. Thanks for looking into it.

The app is starting to hang or lag now.

Edit:
8.6 fixed the app hanging up and being nearly unusable. Thank you

Switorik ,

It's ok, we'll just raise everyone's bills to pay for more power plants. What's the problem? /s

Switorik ,

It's ok, no one will do anything about it and the republican supporters will think it's justified somehow.

Switorik ,

In guessing the left is Proton but those icons are about as bad as googles.

Switorik ,

I'm experiencing the same problem.

Switorik OP , (edited )

Personally, I'm getting burnt out with lemmy. Every update creates more bugs and because the developers don't experience them, they don't get fixed.

Boost is still broke. I moved to thunder, the last update to thunder completely broke it but the developer isn't experiencing it so whatever.

Before this, I made two accounts and both of the instances stopped updating or closed causing complete loss of account.

Nothing works for more than a few months it seems.

I'm on a samsung s25 ultra, a current phone. It's not on my end.

Switorik OP ,

Whatever happened in the last day fixed the issue.
