Loving Bazzite so far! I think I’ll make the switch on the desktop rig too

I bought an MX3 on a sale when leaving one job that wanted the mouse back and coming to one that didn’t offer one (or maybe I simply wasn’t patient enough?). The next job had an MX2S from a previous employee in the box with factory sealed cheapo mice. Easy choice to go for the used MX. Now I have two! But sometimes I get confused when they’re accidentally in the same place 😅 also love the three channels for pairing to different devices. Even comes in handy on the iPad once in a while.

An SUV-ish slightly outdated car and two small-ish outdated cars. Might as well throw in the Zoe. Well, they’re good used options but I get the OP about this being the start of small but good EVs. The Hyundai Inster seems pretty good too!

I had been wondering why the Asperger/ ASD communities on Lemmy are so quiet. Now I’m wondering if we just assume most Lemmy users are ND either way? Sure seems like it with this question.

Also OT: yes, when I was a kid but always brushed it off. Now that I’m recently diagnosed so many things are starting to make sense but I’m still new to this. I guess I’m high functioning and very good at masking.

Several layers of losses and very complicated infrastructure needs compared to electricity. Also, H2 will be needed for industrial uses that need burning flame levels of temperatures and it’s enough trouble to meet that demand.

The Logitech MX Master is the best productivity mouse ever. Apple apparently has no desire to compete with it.

They had huge profits and dividend payouts. This is not a necessity but a choice. Profits for the rich are more important to them than job safety for the masses.

Can’t we ever have software that just keeps working? Password managers are like the new RSS readers.

  1. search around for a good one
  2. find a nice one and start using it
  3. they add stuff you didn’t want and slowly make it worse
  4. they’re bought up/ abandoned/ otherwise become unviable

Interesting! I did not know any of this. Sort of confirms my impression which I should have framed differently: the other candidates are so niche that the rest of the world has no clue

This thread mostly shows how broken the democratic system in the US is, not that she did anything wrong. Try coming to a real democracy with many parties and coalitions being formed. They actually thrive on dissent, finding compromise and collaborating for the greater good ;)

I’d totally be fine with a rough “tier list” to start with. I know there are 2d games that are quite demanding, especially badly optimized indie games. And I think half life 2 can basically run on a potato despite still looking decent. So simply judging by how fancy it looks probably isn’t always going to work.

One of the reasons the tech nerd in me is against some of the fancy modern e-bikes like Cowboy. And the silly wireless shifter stuff. But the tech is cool!

The only thing I realize and accept I won’t repair myself are hydraulic brakes and wheel truing. At least I understand the mechanism, I just think someone with more experience should do it. Everything else on a bike should be simple enough to fix with the right (cheap-ish) tool, an hour or so of time and a good manual.

 

Is there a service or knowledge base somewhere that can help you find the highest rated games for your hardware?

Background: I don’t have much time for games and just installed Bazzite on a few years old ThinkPad. I would like to play some games on it but don’t know what I can expect to be playable. I see tons of “will it run on steam deck” info but honestly couldn’t even figure out where this computers performance lies compared to a steam deck. This should be easy. Just type in specs, maybe filter genre and say “sort by meta score” or “sort by steam rating”.

 

What are your thoughts on finding a good level of subscriptions for online services, such as storage, photo backup, music streaming, video streaming?

Personal situation: I don't want a ton of subscriptions. I take lots of photos. I listen to music quite a bit. I live in a household that has Android, iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Linux, ... and a Synology NAS that is already filling up with old music and video stuff from before streaming, phone photo backups as well as the photos from the big camera (manually copied so far). I currently pay for two cloud storage thingies and have to free ones, 3/4 are full :P We also have Spotify Family and cut down to only (HBO) Max and public service for video plus sometimes getting something specific for a month or two.

Any experiences or other observations welcome as well!

Where to start? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I don’t spend much time on my desktop computer but if I do I tend to game a bit. OW II, CS, Helldivers, Tabletop Simulator mostly. And of course need Discord.

I am considering a minor upgrade to the hardware and would need a fresh install (currently Win 10). I’ve been out of the distro game for a while and currently only have one old thinkpad running Debian and an X1 Carbon gen7 I want to use for experimentating/ distro hopping.

I want a daily driver OS that can play games. I also edit photos and might to the odd “flash a CFW to an old phone” or similar light tasks. Where do I start?

I hear PopOS because “it just works” but also CachyOS because “performance, muh”.

I have experience with Ubuntu (first was 6.06) and Fedora mostly but have played around with a lot that came with at least a barebones UI (crunchbang anyone?). My life has changed so I have less time to nerd out with this than I used to. But I feel the itch to experiment now and maybe use Linux on my main desktop again after some years with that mentioned upgrade soon.
