No shade to my Ace friends intended. Totally possible to be horny for art or rock collecting or whatever. Doesn’t have to be a sexy thing. I’m horny for none of the above is totally valid.

The default should be “I’m horny” but unless I specify you have to guess who I’m horny for.

Debian + Containers is definitely the way. Literally so stable it’s boring.

Yeah this is one of those things where accessibility settings can probably get you 90% there but screenshots and machine learning can probably close the gap somewhat reliably (even if it’s much less efficient).

The more I learn about Valve culture the more I realize they definitely have teams just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. I bet there are some really wild prototypes that we never get to see.

Running games at 800p targeting 40fps is a lot more viable than I would have expected just looking at the numbers. It looks great for a display that size and 40fps feels like it’s a lot closer to 60fps than it really is.

I get why people using it as their primary gaming device would want more power but as a secondary device for me it’s stellar.

If it was free and I just had to pay the subscription I’d think “Can’t my phone already do all this?”

Bazzite works so well out of the box that I don’t even have to think about drivers.

Same here. I love DuckDNS but after the third DNS outage taking down all my services I migrated to Cloudflare and haven’t had a single problem since.

I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m trying with software known to be difficult.

I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I’d be in really good shape.

All guns make holes.

If you can run 4k at high frame rates then sure but the performance hit can be huge and a lot of displays can only do 4k at 30Hz anyway which isn’t worth it when 1440p is usually an option.

I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.

I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.

I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.

Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.

But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?

Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.

In their defense many people are exceptionally dumb.

People think that frame rate isn’t very noticeable until you give them access to a toggle that lets them double it.

I’ve had exactly this happen to me. It was my own fault but it took a bit of work figure out.

I don’t really engage with the online mechanics in Elden Ring… Maybe I should? I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game otherwise. I rate and leave messages but I’ve never summoned help for co-op or invaded people except for Varre’s quest where I always just get obliterated by people who are way better prepared than me.

Backups need to be reliable and I just can’t rely on a community of volunteers or the availability of family to help.

So yeah I pay for S3 and/or a VPS. I consider it one of the few things worth it to pay a larger hosting company for.
