The sales were way better maybe like 10 years or so ago, but when they ended the “flash sales” to instead guarantee that the sale price of a game won’t change during the sale, they also kind of neutered the sales imo. They’re still alright, but they used to be consistently better.

I get why they ended the flash sales, and I’m not even sure if it’s related or just a separate choice that they made at the same time.

Can’t speak to the build quality of System76, but my FW is built like a goddamn tank.

Measles is (I believe) the most contagious virus we have ever encountered. It can remain for 2 hours after an infected person leaves an area.

How the fuck can anyone possibly think autism is worse than this?

That’s still insane though… I will sometimes hit caps lock once or twice on a password screen to make sure it’s not on.

I know pretty much nothing about iOS, but isn’t Safari actually considered a pretty decent browser? Can you not use ublock (or equivalent), and other privacy extensions, on Safari?

Fantastic game that does not get the love it deserves. I think it was on sale for a few bucks recently.

I have an urge once or twice a year to play through the game again and it makes me cry every time. Just played it last week actually. Still have some of the music stuck in my head.

I’ve been playing Keep Driving quite a bit. Fun game and great on deck.

I just recently learned this when I tried to take a Teams call (ugh) with my Bluetooth earbuds, only to find that the microphone worked, but I couldn’t hear anything.

Turned out, by default, it had set the input as headset mode, but the output as stereo headphone mode, so I couldn’t hear anything.

Because that makes sense.

You can also use it for everything else. It can be as easy to use as a PlayStation if that’s what you want it for.

Yeah when I see people say that gaming on Linux “isn’t there yet” I have to wonder how long it’s been since they’ve tried. And people who install Windows on their Steam Deck? Don’t get it.

Well for one, I’m not sure I consider it an “issue”… But yeah, it’s absolutely 100% on me lol…

It’s not always due to procrastination… Sometimes it’s not convenient to immediately do it. If it’s a long thing I’ll just take a short break and go for a walk or something…

Yup… I recently booted into an EndeavorOS live USB, just so I could use the partitioning tools that come pre-installed, before rebooting and reinstalling Bazzite, because I was really hating the methods the Bazzite installer has for it.

Unless they’re referring to different logs, “journalctl” is the command you want to use. Maybe read the man page on it first though as you may want to use “-b” or “-x” or some other option to make it easier to parse.

I’m sure it depends on what you need it for, but I’ve never used my work laptop for anything that would have ever needed a terminal.

Edit: I looked at this comment again after reading the reply, and not sure why I said it as my work laptop uses Windows… Maybe I meant that, if my work were to transition to Linux, then I still wouldn’t need it? I dunno.

What year is it? Terminal is pretty much optional these days, especially if we’re talking enterprise with dedicated IT staff.

Depends on the settings your IT has set up… Mine will let you put it off, but after a couple times you’re left with no choice but to let it run.

NES games cost $60-$70 nearly 40 years ago. That would be like $150 if adjusted for inflation.

And if anything, the scale and cost of developing video games has skyrocketed since then…

Just something to consider…

Ah ok, guess I forgot about that
