I disagree. Black Mesa is Black Mesa. It is no Half Life 1. The atmosphere in one is completely lost with Black Mesa. Start with Half Life and play to Alyx. Go back to Mesa for a second way to view 1.

Yep, you gotta do what you gotta do. I could never blame anyone for that.

Then when you are your own boss you can do it your way!

It sure is a popular app regionally. Lots of people in different countries I know use it interchangeably at this point: when they say text, they mean whatsap. I get it.

But I will not support Meta, there is a line. I don’t need family or friends that cannot use open source alternative. Worse case, I just drop back to sms.

But work requires it? Or you happen to have work that needs to support many customers? I suppose I could see that, but work would then be a completely separate phone only for that purpose.

Life fair. It’s only trying to help you not have to use whatsapp.

Every single ununtu release since Warty has been trouble. Ubuntu breaks. Does wetid things. Makes weird choices. Upgrades often fail.

I am surprised it took you this long to run into issues.

No, it would be more like a poor craftsman who doesn’t recognize it when a tool is crappy. Ubuntu is always on the way to breaking, or is broken at the get go. I remember when they thought 4 was stable. It was not nearly compared to most anything else at the time.

Even recently I had to install Ubuntu for a project because that is what the vendor supported. Several things were broken post install. Default Ubuntu stuff that should have just worked. Par for the course. If you get past that, of course the mishmash of Snap management for feature incomplete software can be very trying for a new user, when other distros make it easy.

Most crashy breaky mainstream distro there is and always has been.

It’s barely tolerable.

But I did used to like the departure from blue themes like nearly everyone else.

I agree. But the last time I used ubuntu for a project recently I only tried to use built in functions, no modding. Never looks good when it throws errors trying to use built in features. Which always seems true with Ubuntu!

Ubuntu has never been remotely stable for me. Something stupid breaks or becomes difficult to get what I want out of it.

Been that way since it came out for me.

I find Arch much less hassle than Ubuntu ever was.

Just recently put Ubuntu on a machine for a work project. It was broken from the get go, throwing errors and being it’s usual shitty self.

I could never recommend it.

Fedora on the other hand has been on a spare laptop for about 6 months and I gotta say they really have put some polish in. Updates are frequent but reasonable and most everything works well. Some small issues but they are not show stoppers and Fedora is aware of them.

I ran Sid for years, I knew what it was named for and that was cool.

Lately though I have been wondering if they are going to run out of characters? Maybe it’s time to latch onto something else? I don’t know…

Why didn’t you take the laptop out while you were still inside the pub? And typically wouldn’t you use directions to get to the pub, and getting back is just going the way you came?

No osm and on Linux?

Its just open street map data. Use the routing tool on their web page.

Or make your own if you want to using gis.

Or use the beta organic maps flatpak.

Or KDE Marble has OSM routing as well.

Thunderbird. It’s great

I am not sure how to make it look shitty like Gmail, maybe you could theme it to wast a ton of space.

Seriously, do you want a useful email client or not?

Strawberry or Clementine. I mean 100K entries in a database is nothing. Even for SQLite. You can add multiple library locations, this is no problem.

You probably want Strawberry as it is newer and maintained, but I still like Clementine for the extra features that Strawberry doesn’t have yet. For you probably, not a big deal - things like podcast support, cloud support etc.

You misspelled Ubuntu.

At that point you might as well go with a steamdeck. Works with or without the mouse/keyboard/screen and can play games. The desktop environment is full kde and ready to go.

I am not a fan of emojis in online conversation, but this time it does change how I perceived what you wrote. You are not happy about this? I would be so pleased if my country got rid of the penny.

Guns don’t block a good chunk of the screen either.

But YOU do! That is why I do not like third person, I do not want to see me. All immersion is lost! \

But I started up my game, moused out to third person, and the gun sight didnt change at all. It is the same cross hairs based on gun accuracy either way.

That was two New Vegas and one VR title. Fallout 4 aiming doesn’t seem bad at all. You can manage with a sniper rifle as good as any other game. There is a slight chance that one of the mods I applied might have improved it, I havent looked through them, but it seems to me that FO4 was not nearly as bad as 3 and NV by default.

Interesting take. I very, very rarely use vats. My aim is much better, and certainly much faster.

Why do you have issues with the aiming system? I am making an assumption you are playing with a mouse and keyboard…
