  • I've decided I want one, just because NO ONE will question whatever mods I choose to make to it. The questions about why I bought it in the first place will never cease, but why make it as close to a DeLorean time machine as a fucking "truck" can look? Not a peep.

    ... having come up with the BTF thing just for this comment, I've realized: Backwards, its actually a good fit. Shame about what it would do to road visibility.

  • On the contrary, its too much stuff I'm not interested in, and/or actively disinterested in, and not enough of the rest. OTOH, I don't even remember the exact topic of this community or instance.

    Seems techy and not full of absolute garbage, and that's more than enough for me.

  • Me too. Wish my wife would understand, when I'm being productive and ... crotchety, its basically never because she's done anything wrong, and forcing me to calm down is going to leave us all disappointed.

  • I burn a lot of gas checking local stores before I'll break-down and buy what I need from Amazon.

    My wife jokes that its a delaying tactic and I waste the energy I would otherwise use getting stuff done, and she's not entirely wrong, but still, if I find the thing and run out of steam, getting to continue the task tomorrow is still quicker than Amazon shipping, particularly for niche items.

  • If every single local tells you to gtfo and applauds the arsonists, its time to go. You're an anti-gun corporation, not a heavilly armed black family with a right to live wherever they please ... and I'm only not telling that family they should listen to anyone about anything because its not my place.

    That's right, the gun thing's a red herring for once, but the strongly-worded advice stands.

  • Not that hard to stop wayland or xorg at the launch of a given application and restart it at that application's exit. Of course, I only did it on the Raspberry Pi because the hardware lagged horribly running such apps with a gui/compositer/desktop the app wasn't using in the background, but it wasn't hard for me to get working, and its exactly how we did things with DOS apps and even some Windows games back in the WFWG 3.11 days.

    Basically, there's no technical reason the host operating system should have to be providing say X, KDE, Plasma, Gnome, Gk, Wayland, whatever, to a flatpack app that needs those things. Yes, the result is a larger flatpack, but that's why flatpack's do dependency consolidation.

    Unless ... Unless, you just really want to to run your games windowed with smooth window-resizing, minimization, maximization, etc.

  • Individual apps, particularly full-screen games, shouldn't need "Wayland support"(quotes because what that means will vary between implimentations).

    Now, if you have to install xorg on a system that doesn't have it in order to play a game? Yeah that would suck, although games are on my personal shortlist of application categories that should always be run from a flat-pack/equivalent and/or containerized wherever possible.

    Now I think about it, why don't (anti-cheat)games just run their own VM's and "calibrate" those versus any weird system variables? Seems like a better anti-cheat than hacking-my-kernel-to-make-sure-I'm-not-hacking-the-game...

  • I liked it well enough. I will definitely watch more movies in this version of the story and characters, year after year, or every few years. That was true of all previous versions as well though.

  • Imagine thinking this stuff takes only a couple years to fully impliment, let alone start paying dividends. Hell, did Intel even fully install and test their new chiller at the Ohio fab yet? Getting shit right takes time...
