My 2¢:

I think it’s gamer discourse bleeding out into other fields. Gamers need the newest libraries and the newest drivers or their stuff might not run as well as it possibly could, because gaming is a relatively young but aggressively growing field with the Linux ecosystem in general. Sure games have always been around, but it’s never been the focus.

Now that gamers are switching more frequently, and that the average user is likely to play a game occasionally, it’s becoming relatively important that packages be up to date for desktop workloads.

GTKMM is also GTK–

GTK is the GIMP Tool Kit

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program

GNU is GNU’s Not UNIX

UNIX is UNiplexed Information Computing System

Ergo: GTKMM stands for G(NU’s Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System Image Manipulation Program Toolkit Minus Minus.

GNU is a recursive acronym representing GNU’s Not UNIX.

UNIX is a modified acronym representing UNiplexed Information Computing System (UNICS)

G(NU’s Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System

Wait I need a copy of that one on unexpected wobbling in non-wobbling systems, I need to up my ksp game

And if I carry a modern dumb phone designed for privacy and listen to my music on an mp3 nugget?

Plus it’s not just about privacy, thats just a big thing.

Consider this scenario: every time you want to listen to a song, you have a to grab your record from next to the cocaine, take it over to the record player next to the heroin, and do your best not to shoot up or rip a line while you get everything set up. That’s what using a smartphone is like for a lot of people. There’s nothing wrong with the device itself but the way they’re used as insidious addiction peddlers with the ticky-tocks and the instant-reels and the infinite-scrolling endless stream of mid content and ragebait.

Some people are actively trying to pull out of using their phones for everything. A phone is a phone, its for communicating. If you have a smartphone, sure use it as a PDA. It isn’t for anything else and won’t offer the best experience without concessions, nowadays those concessions often being privacy.

How is the audio quality on those? I’ve got the sp and was considering setting it up as an mp3 player for when I’m off grid but I don’t have the spoons to do if it’s gonna suck.

Hi, former optician here, your glasses are probably fine quality wise but you should consider updating your Rx more often, at least every 2 years. Eyes change more than people tend to think they do, and since our lenses can be adjuated with muscles we often don’t notice when our vision begins to deteriorate.

I have a total correction of about -3d in each eye, but if I dont put my glasses on in the morning I don’t need them and can go through my day normally. As soon as I put them on and am hit with the strain relief though I’m unable to go back to not wearing them for the rest of the day.

Edit: for clarity, I was an Optician, a lens technician. Not an optometrist/ophthalmologist, my experience with eyes is purely through being in the field where people get equipment from, NOT from actual medical experience.

Liking objectively bad media doesn’t make you wrong.

This kills the alpm

Because 1 is less than 3 and their alphanumeric sort isn’t robust enough to handle the number 10. I see it all the time, though I’m a bit surprised to be seeing it in a professional product.

Yes, hence the advanced stupid.

It can be if they’ve already tricked you into using their VPN, but I think you might have to he advanced stupid to fall for that AND the text

Your meme about displays got me to go fix the 4k60 output on my PC. I use a TV as my screen and the EDID it reports us borked and leaves it off so I had to make a custom EDID and inject it at boot.

10/10 way easier than it sounds, annoyed I had to use a popular windows program to do it though because the first copy I found of the app I needed had a Trojan (thanks VirusTotal for confirming I’m not crazy for checking every exe no matter how official looking).

Why tf do we not have an EDID editor?

Re: only on streaming

In my experience it’s pretty cheap to get bootleg dvds imported. I’ve used eBay and walmart’s online store for getting 100% legit DVDs of things that definitely got physical editions.

I got Andor 1 and 2, as well as Fallout this way, mostly because fuck The Mouse and Beef Jesus.

Edit: pretty sure there’s official physical copies of those now, there wasn’t when I bought them.

In your settings, first deselect Google as default so you can delete it.

Then go follow this guide

GPS apps, GPS head units. We’re talking SatNav here, not the literal service that is GPS.

I crashed out once and DMd someone who had downvoted a couple of my comments because I overreacted and thought I was being targeted. I’m not a particularly stable individual.

Felt terrible, they were a good sport about it though.
