The world is built around the idea that people follow the rules. If you plug in an uncertified device, you are breaking the law. It’s as simple as that.

You realize you could fucking plug ANYTHING into electrical systems now? How many people make Widowmaker cords for generators and back feed the fucking grid during outages? This is not some new problem.

If you’re found fucking around, you find out with a big ass fine/jail. That’s how it works.

The certification on the product shows that it’s safe to use in grid-tie. What the fuck are you on about? Are you just being intentionally an obtuse pain in the ass?

I love Valve, but I don’t think this one is going away and I don’t think it SHOULD go away. F2P games with RNG loot boxes are a scourge and I don’t play games that have them for that very reason.

Oblivion Remaster: I loved Skyrim, but this game felt not as fun as Skyrim to me. Not sure what it was. Maybe it’s just nostalgia for Skyrim and I don’t have the patience for those kinds of games anymore.

Hollow Knight: The platforming always felt clunky and the constantly having to Google shit to figure out where I’m supposed to go next without spending 4 hours backtracking turned me off. I much prefer the Ori games to Hollow Knight.

I also was not a fan of Hollow Knight. My biggest problem was the constant backtracking and not knowing where to go to progress the story. And the platforming always felt…wrong. It felt like your character would go between having and not having lead tied to their shoes. It didn’t feel fluid.

If you want a great platformer in a similar vein to Hollow Knight that has a beautiful art style, snappy controls, and punchy gameplay, check out Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

No problem homie. LMK if you have any more questions.

Oh. To be fair, the PulseAudio days started off REALLY shit and JACK/ALSA had the limitations of “locking” an audio device to a specific process/application, so it used to be much rougher.

Ever since pipewire came along, it’s been really solid.

Newer kernel and drivers for graphics cards. Fedora runs a more close to bleeding edge kernel, mesa, etc. whereas Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Servicing) builds, so they don’t “rock the boat” as much with things like newer kernels as frequently.

Mint’s Cinnamon Desktop Environment also only supports the older X11 display server (Wayland is experimental right now) whereas GNOME and KDE desktops on Fedora default to Wayland. This translates to more modern and efficient window rendering.

Basically:

Mint: “Just works. Don’t rock the boat. This will be stable into the heat death of the universe”

Fedora: “Maximum speed and features at reasonable stability”

If you’re using your computer for web browsing, document editing, etc., Mint is a great choice.

If you are doing a lot of gaming, I’d suggest Fedora with either GNOME or the KDE spin.

I don’t think they existed then.

The dark days of fucking with xorg.conf files and ndiswrapper to get WiFi working are things I’m glad no longer exist.

The joke is they can’t hear them because their audio broke. You’re overthinking it. Lol.

I stopped playing completely when they broke anti-cheat on Linux. I was already waning on the game and that sealed the deal for me.

My Moto Edge has it. It’s so natural and I love it.

FYI they dropped the EUV naming. The new 2027 Bolt is just the SUV version now without the distinction.

Have data to prove that? Because existing wind turbines hardly kill any birds. That’s oil lobby shit leaking through.

A prosperity gospel church is still a church, unless you’re referring to WSL as the equivalent of “Linux”.

Linux Distro

Windows 11, macOS, and FreeBSD on the list

Wat

Charge cycles tend to improve as technology and processes improve. Other sodium ion batteries started out similarly limited in cycles and have since basically matched lithium ion.

Yeah Manjaro either needs to figure their shit out or everybody should stop using it.
