  • "Listening to a song ironically"? Who is doing that? And why?

  • Same here. Is there a way to spoof a more generic fingerprint or something?

  • Early Mormon church history is about as bizzarre and dramatic as it gets. I think a well-produced & historically accurate dramaticization of the weird beginnings of the Mormon church would make for a good miniseries.

  • One of these:

    • Diablo 1: The Hell 2 mod
    • The original Diablo 2 (unmodded)
  • Wait... Processing....

    So... a lamp in a video game is also a lamp in real life?

  • THIS EXACTLY!!!!! YES!!!

    I'm not the only one!!??? I feel so vindicated...

  • Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but I don't think OP's claims are extraordinary. I think he's only saying "I've noticed Linux can outperform Windows on programs that are optimized for Windows. Kinda unexpected, but here are the benchmarks."

    OP is not claiming that this is true in 100% of cases. For example, in this thread he points out that Windows outperformed Linux on Doom.

  • You seem to be really ruffling feathers with these comparison tests. Who'd have thought they'd be so controversial?

    Thanks a lot for posting! I find them interesting!

  • I've known two people who are extremely quiet and shy sober but become loud, social, and "larger than life" when they drink. Like a massive personality change.

    Always wondered whether their drunk selves were closer to their "true" selves, but they suppress it in daily life?

  • Ha ha... Yeah... I've noticed this too. Human psychology is weird.

  • I don't think you need to worry about this...

  • I've never noticed sluggishness on Mull or Fennec. Are you talking about the app's refresh rate to the screen? I'm confused.

  • Personally, I've used many trackers over the years. I currently use Loop Habit tracker but only for recording the information day-to-day. I periodically export my data in .csv format and merge it with my "long term storage" in a big spreadsheet which contains >10 years of data. I like doing it this way because I like to do statistics on it, plot it, etc. and that's very easy in .csv format on a computer (I'm a nerd).

    Because my "long term storage" is just a simple .csv I don't need to worry about compatibility between apps. Also, if I lose my phone it's not a big deal because I'd lose, at the most, a few months.

  • Here are a couple of ideas:

    • Loop Habit has the ability to save a full backup. Maybe try setting up your habits, add some fake data, and generate the backup. Open the backup file in a text editor and see whether you can infer the structure. If so, just reformat your old data to match that structure and then import that "hacked" backup file back into Loop.
    • Loop Habit says it can import backup files from Tickmate, Habitbull, and Rewire as well. Similar to the above idea, if you can reformat your saved data to match one of those formats you should be able to import it into Loop.
  • That's great!! Glad to hear it!

    Since you mention it, I'll add that teams-for-linux works better for me than the official MS Teams in the browser. And for MS Office I haven't had any trouble using LibreOffice as a replacement.

  • https://www.protondb.com/ is an excellent resource. Before you commit to Linux, look up your favorite games there to double check that they'll work.

    My personal experience is basically all games work on Linux. To the point I don't even look games up on protondb before I buy. The exceptions seem to be multiplayer FPS games which use anti-cheat (but I don't play those kinds of games).

  • What's the "Bandcamp situation"?

  • ...and we can be sure Amazon finds ways to monetize user data as well (they see your book purchases, downloads, reading habits, etc)
