New fear unlocked

I can’t be bothered to learn how to build and maintain a kernel though, hence why I stay away from Arch. My “dummy-friendly” distro of choice for KDE Plasma is OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It has been rock solid for a year now except for that one time a few weeks ago when NVidia dropped the ball and fucked up their driver update. It was fixed a few days later. My only other complaint is that I wish they didn’t wait for NVidia to put the new 560 drivers in the production branch to trickle it down to us because for some reason that’s what gets supported in tumbleweed. EVERYONE who needs those drivers are impatiently waiting for just that because pre-555 drivers don’t play well with Wayland.

Fedora Plasma Spin is probably another solid choice but for some reason on my computer it just instantly bricked itself upon first update.

It’s good enough to work, but that’s pretty much all you’ll get. In many aspects each monitor isn’t treated separately by the DE. For example you only have one task bar and each screen gets an exact copy of it. Any minimized window will appear on all the task bars on all your screens no matter what screen that window was from. Right there it’s a big turnoff for me. I don’t remember the details but just getting a different desktop background for each screen needed a workaround solution as well. They clearly didn’t allocate any resources for the multiple display user experience. And now that I’ve gotten a taste of the insane customizability of KDE Plasma I don’t think I’ll be able to go back. 6.2 added a layer of polish to the experience that made it perfect for my uses. Which is a shame because Mint was pretty solid otherwise.

I haven’t tried xfce and mate on a multi display setup so I don’t know. But these seemed to be simpler, being made to be lightweight for less powerful setups so I wouldn’t expect them to be as advanced as Plasma for that.

If Mint ever supported KDE plasma 6.2 I’d consider switching back to Mint. I just can’t stand how Cinnamon doesn’t give a crap about multi display users and gives them a “There. Good enough. Fuck you.” solution.

Seriously though. Fuck Nvidia.

6’1" is also lower than the other side of the curve, which suggests people just like to round up or down to 6’.

Because them saying they’re “worth” that is just mental gymnastics to make themselves feel better about abusing the position of power to leech as much money from as many people as possible for themselves.

You tell that to his delivery drivers who can’t even scratch their nose while driving or that 1984-dystopia-esque automated surveillance system he puts in their vehicles flags it as “distracted driving” and punishes them.

Oh and they don’t even make enough to raise a family.

And might be sued by Valve shortly

And 2 months later he returned to PVP mode because he got bored.

I’m looking for the lighter squares for more innovative-sounding ones. Like Trump Goblin and Scum Wit

Can you explain how a car accident lead to this?

That’s a lot. They make money off of people having their app running on their phone. That’s why they push their app.

I never really cared for the planning myself but Vegas ruined it for my by introducing that stupid cover system to make it like Gears of War which was popular at the time. They completely removed the ability to lean. You couldn’t properly peek around a corner to take a shot without almost fully exposing yourself anymore. This meant you couldn’t avoid absorbing bullets all the time. This made the game unplayable so to counterbalance that, they’ve added regenerating health. But then it became too easy so they kept putting you in tactically completely unfair positions against hordes of extremely aggressive enemies that can see you and shoot you through walls. They also had a lot of visually busy environments where the enemies are difficult to spot even when they’re shooting at you because the sound mixing was so botched up that often you couldn’t even tell when you were being shot at.

They turned it into a mindless arcade shooter where you constantly absorb bullets like it’s normal and fight a whole army on your own. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of this is because some Corporate dipshit forced the inclusion of that cover system because Gears of War made money.

The old RainbowSix games (pre-Vegas) were absolutely brutal in difficulty. Enemies died in one or two shots, depending on what part you hit. Even a non-mortal wound would cripple them permanently. But the same rules applied to you.

Never had that issue

I used to be annoyed by this. I’m running GrapheneOS so I denied Google Photos access to the network but it didn’t stop it from asking every few times I started the app. Sometimes it even ignored my response and tried to connect to the network anyway.

I just uninstalled it and installed Fossify Gallery instead from F-droid. Haven’t looked back since.

Carefully dremel a slot in the screw head and use a flat head screwdriver.

Make sure you don’t get any dust into the electronics.

I saw it years before deepfakes were a thing. I wish I had saved the video now. I would have loved to take a more critical look at it.
