What!? Why on earth would that matter?

A shithole.

How dare you not pledge your undying allegiance to the spot of dirt that you were born on!??!?!?

And from what I’ve heard, they can ONLY impact it negatively.

Updated drivers

Are you sure that you’re using the proprietary Nvidia drivers and not nouveau? Check if nouveau is blacklisted in /etc/default/grub and see if it’s running with inxi -Fxz in the “Graphics” section.

I already use it, but thanks for recommending it. It’s really great. Here on Lemmy, I think the number of Linux users is in the thousands, not dozens.

I do the exact same, but I also buy multiplayer and VR games on Steam, because I run Linux, and GOG Galaxy isn’t out on Linux (yet). I really don’t want to faff about getting all of that working on each individual game. I bought Rain World and FTL on GOG, but Star Wars: Battlefront 2 on Steam.

I smell a ten-figure fine cooking in the kitchen of the EU.

Poor Gestapo, they’ll have to scrape Facebook for their Orwellian products instead of getting the data spoon-fed to them ;(

But once you stop running from it and embrace it, you will become truly free.

They were always collected when not in use. We don’t get personal devices, we either go to the computer room, where every screen can be seen by the teacher at once a la panopticon, or we get a trolley full of laptops that we hand in at the end of the lesson. You can also BYOD that isn’t a smartphone, so long as you don’t use it during lesson time when the teacher doesn’t permit it.

At my middle school, we also banned smartphones throughout the whole building. You were meant to either leave yours at home or put it in your locker when you got there. It’s a lot easier to chat with people during the breaks when they’re not face-down in their phone screen.

“Just following orders…”

mining in games

What do they mine? Is it just farming progress to sell accounts later or something else?

Kerbal Space Program 2 as an Early Access game on Steam. Take Two poached developers those that worked on KSP 1 and then laid off the entirety of Intercept Games, the studio that they made for KSP 2. Even though it’s not being worked on anymore, you can still get it on Steam for an eye-watering €50, which was exactly what I paid (before the layoff happened, on day 2 of Early Access). This was after I had great experiences with other Early Access games like ULTRAKILL and Satifactory, so I thought that a company like Take Two wouldn’t fuck the pooch that hard. It’s playable, the graphics are neat, the music is very nice, and they did manage to add the science mode before it all went to shit, but I’m sad that the promised two other solar systems, planet colonization, resource extraction, automation and multiplayer will probably never be added. That is, unless someone else buys up the project and actually finishes it.

They’ll immediately switch to English.

Talking out of your AIss*
Or just great satire, what’s even the difference between that and reality these days?

How else am I supposed to see the green shells behind me?

The awful lighting on this photo makes Linus look older than Bill!

Damn, do we use the same computer?
