If we keep using the current version and it never gets any updates, will it keep running the whole Switch game library.

One of the first issues I had problems with was figuring out what was wrong with Street Fighter 6 giving ultra low frame rates in multiplayer, but working fine in single player. It needed disabling of split lock protections in the CPU.

A recent update in OpenSUSE made the computer fail to boot half the time and made the image on the right half of the screen garbled. I rolled back to before the update and am using it without updating for a few weeks to see if the GPU driver problem gets ironed out.

I installed VMware Horizon for my job’s remote work login and it fucked up my Steam big picture mode and controller detection. I didn’t bother trying to figure that out and just uninstalled VMware remote desktop.

I managed to install my printer driver, but manually finding the correct RPM file to install would not be tolerable for normies.

I still can’t get my Dualshock 3 controller to pair via Bluetooth despite instructions on the OpenSUSE wiki. I’ve stopped trying to troubleshoot that and use my 8BitDo controller instead.

I still can’t find a horizontal page scrolling PDF app.

Figuring out how to edit fstab to automount my secondary drives is not a process normies would be able to execute.

Plasma recently added monitor brightness controls to software and these seem to have disappeared for me now, and I can’t figure out why.

I can’t get CopyQ to launch minimised no matter what I do.

My KDE Plasma task bar widgets for monitoring CPU/GPU temp worked till I reinstalled OpenSUSE, and I can’t figure out why they’ve decided to not work on this fresh install. System monitor can see the temperature sensors just fine still. fixed

Flatpak Steam app wouldn’t pick up controllers for some reason. Minor issue, but unnecessary jankiness.

My laptop fingerprint reader plainly isn’t supported.

People do not tolerate this amount of jankiness. And this doesn’t include the discomfort with relearning minor design differences between OS’s when switching. Linux is a bit of a battle with relearning and troubleshooting things that would never be problematic on Windows.

I love Linux. I’m so glad I switched both my PC and laptop to OpenSUSE and got rid of dual boot Windows. Using Linux exclusively for months has really opened my eyes to the truth:

So far it seems like people develop around the ideas laid down by social media giants. Rather than replicating, it would be good to see incorporation of healthier options (e.g. time monitoring displayed in app, stopping endless scrolling and keeping to page by page scrolling, avoiding prioritising low effort content (by showing older posts in people’s feeds as well and displaying more that prompts comments rather than just upvotes, etc). Don’t know how they would design to minimise the hivemind…there’s still plenty of that.

What about ))-((

I don’t know anything about the situation. What should they be worried about?

The loading and buffering times in that app make it useless to me. I’d rather just listen on NewPipe or Freetube.

That’s a fantasy we all hold here because we don’t like Reddit. Reddit doesn’t care that nerds have gone and normies are left behind. People keep using the site and throwing money at “super upvotes”. They’ve floated on the stock market and are doing well. The site is nowhere near dying like Digg. Deep, cerebral, meaningful content might have suffered; but hardly anyone cares as long as they get to see recycled memes, making judgemental comments on other people’s relationships, porn and politics. Their main content is lowest common denominator shit, and it always has been. Facebook is far more shitty and is still going strong. I’m sure Reddit will be fine without us and with their ongoing enshitification, no matter how much we fantasise about their demise.

If ads were interesting and creative, I might have turned off my adblockers to watch them.

It’s on Plex on my Synology ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Find the communities you like. There will be communities based around wholesome memes and positivity if that’s what you want.

The other thing is to use filter lists extensively. I use Lemmy in the Boost Android app. My filter list is constantly being added to (Elon, Biden, Trump, Superbowl, Covid, etc). You’re in charge of making or finding the experience you want.

If the content is affecting you then find something else entirely. If detached from the live news cycle and watch science based YouTube channels, listen to podcasts of interest, read books and follow websites via RSS. If you don’t like it here then you don’t have to be here.

Stories like this have been posted every so often to reddit. I’ll believe this is possible when I see it available in consumer electronics (and not just lab conditions).

I wish to unsee this please.

The first step is normalising the idea of privacy so people can even see the point of paying for something they can easily get for free.

The next step would be to make products people can easily use without being tech savvy. A synology NAS has been great for me and I praise the setup to anyone who will listen, but even with something like Synology people will need some basic knowledge.

Fast forward half way and see if the woman is still there?

FIY For your information

i.g. For example

😆

I see the data you’ve linked, but find it fascinating what the parent comment is implying.

OP is asking: “guns have been around for so long, why are mass shootings more common only recently?”

Parent comment’s answer is “total murder rates used to be higher before, and the rate is now less than what it used to be before”

Even looking at your homocide data, what does that mean? Why have mass shootings increased?

And the further question that brings to my mind is: are people putting these 2 pieces of unrelated data together, to draw the conclusions that support their own bias? Great that overall murder rates are down compared to the 70s and 80s…but that doesn’t mean the country doesn’t have a gun problem, or that mass shootings aren’t unnecessary and avoidable deaths and a sign of some underlying unhealthiness in a community.

Their whole service is built to collect everything you type.

What direction are they heading in?

Many will be fine with Reddit and the direction it is going in. There will always be new people coming into Reddit who have no idea of how things had been. Some will be more than happy to become mods. Reddit is still going to be active. They’re going to refill the empty mod ranks and carry on as normal. The platform will happily carry on, we just jump ship from the shit show. So yeah people may well keep falling over themselves to engage with this new Reddit.
