Do you have an example of apps designed for creating bootable media switching to a paid model?

Thanks for explaining. I didn’t know it went unmaintained for a while. I thought programs like balenaEtcher and Rufus might have other issues I was unaware of like certain OSs not flashing correctly

I find a lot of admins forget or neglect bridges which can be frustrating

There’s a few open source front ends for Twitch that I’ve tried but I’ve had the occasional issue with video playback either stopping and being unable to reload or if I’m watching a VOD it won’t consistently remember my position so I’d say I prefer the official app.

Normally I use open source ones when possible such as NewPipe or Invidious for YouTube for example.

I carry a 40 pin connector adapter as well

Honestly USB C adapters. If you EDC a portable power bank it’s worth looking into a USB C to micro and thunderbolt adapter. It’s a lot easier than carrying around multiple cords and an easy way to help out friends and coworkers.

I think I got mine for a few dollars on Ali Express

I could be wrong but I think there are Lutris install scripts that help with that

One other website I’d check out if you are getting into any obscure/older games that might not have a lot of comments on ProtonDB is the PCGamingWiki. Lots of fixes are listed there

I think it was a lot of shortsightedness on behalf of Redditors. I feel like there is a lot less tiptoeing around here

Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.

Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It’s typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you’ll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.

Thanks. I think dbzer0 will be fine.

The instance owner seems really on the ball when it comes to things like defederation and updates and like they have plans to keep the instance alive in the long term even with the influx of users. I might create a FMHY account and check to see how things are going.

I have a similar story where I originally went with FMHY up until it went down. I decided to go with dbzer0 because they have a similar stance for discussing piracy.

That said, as far as I know, they have the same rule as /r/piracy when it comes to requesting or linking to content which I don’t personally like. I enjoyed helping people find music and TV shows on FMHY. They also want to keep things SFW which I don’t personally have strong feelings about one way or the other but I’d prefer an instance with an indifferent approach.

Yeah it’s federation.

A different domain (ex. .TV, .us., .gov, etc.) doesn’t always mean it’s the same site. I couldn’t find any notable cases (or court cases) but an example could be mylocalbusiness.de versuses mylocalbusiness.pt

In that situation I can create a website for my local business in Germany and not have to worry about an identically named business in Portugal potentially.

It is important to keep this in mind though because spoofing one website for malicious purposes is a real hazard.

What makes NixOS standout?

Have you run into many issues specifically around Manjaro?

Several years ago when I was using Manjaro ARM they let their SSL certificates expire a couple times and it was enough to cause me to jump ship.

Kbin? If it’s federated they are all going to have a bit of the same content it really just depends on what the focus is.

I’d be interested in hearing people’s moderately unpopular or neutral opinions on tech and games. A lot of popular opinion-based posts on Reddit seemed to have strong diehard opinions in one direction and people who disagreed were downvoted.

It gets a bit tiring to see. I like seeing discussions with moderate opinions where people acknowledge the good and bad regardless of whether they agree with them. If I’m in a PS3 community trying to get an Xbox 360 controller to work with PS3XPAD or if I’m in a Fallout community and I say I like Fallout 4 more than New Vegas because it felt less baron that should be fine. It’s just chatting. The reason I mention tech and games specifically is because I know how slippery of a slope it can be to discuss online.

I hope that kind of makes sense.

Is Briar kind of similar to Manyverse? I feel like from what I recall it can use LAN networks, Bluetooth, and the internet.

I’d recommend Kiwi. You can use it combined with Wikipedia’s ZIM files to have access to just about all of Wikipedia offline.

I would recommend installing all of Libre Office’s programs for work purposes. It’s free and open source so you won’t have to deal with licenses and unwanted updates.

Calibre would be a good tool to have for reading ebooks and converting files.

There’s also apps like RedditOffline so if you have an intermittent connection you can browse threads offline. I imagine similar services exist for other platforms.

Staying up late on the weekends? A little bit.

If you are referring to the food no. That doesn’t really effect me besides being hungry when I wake up
