yeah all the data is out there for why its better for you, the planet, and the animals that live on it, and i find it strange to not find veganism "modest" enough. going vegan was the easiest major lifestyle change i've ever made, and beans are cheaper than meat.
the only time i have problems being vegan is when someone else makes it a problem, and for some reason people really like to respond to any mention of veganism with hostility. but also those same people love animals and hate animal abuse.
factorio is one of the best automation games ever, and also has just about any quality of life feature you could think to add to a game.
i'm in my first ever modded playthrough with space exploration and i'm blown away by the increase in complexity. the vanilla game is great but the mods are definitely worth trying if you want an exponential jump in complexity.
they really love doing that. around when i went vegan someone i know was asking me about it and then stopped talking to me entirely because i "bring up veganism too much" after like 2 conversations that i did not initiate.
meanwhile you literally cannot escape meat eaters either talking about how much they love meat or condemning imaginary people who are trying to make them eat bugs or something and conflating that with veganism, yet vegans are annoying.
really wish i wasn't using discord, but i keep in contact with a good number of people on there and less than half of them would even consider switching services/software.
i think many pc games would be relatively lenient with this as long as you can reasonably demonstrate there are no beneficial differences with proton, especially lower on the leaderboard.
honestly i hadn't given leaderboard verification much thought, but yeah currently i just speedrun for fun and just keep the times/videos for myself.
i would guess that asking somewhere like here dedicated to linux would yield better results than speedrunning-specific communities because everyone uses livesplit. i also like asking this type of question on lemmy/reddit/etc because then someone else can find this if it gets an answer via search engine :)
honestly my frustration might actually be stemming from the monolithic nature of speedrun timers currently. livesplit is the best by a wide margin and does pretty much anything you could want it to do, so reasonably there are few competitors. livesplit also happens to not support linux, which is a little disappointing considering it is basically the de facto free and open timer software.
i don't see why they wouldn't be allowed provided you could demonstrate the game runs the same as windows, but also i'm not exactly at the level where i need to worry about the leaderboard cred lol.
yeah i've basically never had an issue that wasn't my fault for tinkering with something that is either unstable or that i didn't understand well enough.
i will say that rolling releases like arch can introduce system-breaking issues (it happened to me like twice in the 3 years i've been running arch, but man it sucks when it happens) so users who aren't so into tweaking and messing with their systems should probably opt for something more stable.
unfortunately, this person actually works for a different company so i don't see this being effective - it's a joint project contract type deal. i could see this advice being more reasonable in a traditional single-employer working environment though
just beat a difficult game about climbing and i loved it! it's the only other game in the genre that has risen to the heights of getting over it in terms of gameplay mechanics and level design.
if anyone reading this knows about a community for these types of games (foddian? getting over it-likes?), please send it my way. i love these games to bits and have so much to say about them but to my knowledge basically no one cares about these games outside of watching people on twitch get angry at them.
looking forward to playing return of the obra dinn, then i'll probably start speedrunning the climbing game until baby steps releases lol
been battling impostor syndrome for my whole career, and today i learned that one of the new (not new to the field) people on my team doesn't know how to use excel, the thing i spend like 50% of my working hours using.
worrying for my team and maybe the industry, but very comforting personally lol
i upgraded last night! and when i booted up this morning, i was unable to log into any accounts in the login screen lol. if anyone else has a similar issue where the only option login screen gives you is wayland and that doesnt work for you or you want to use x11, what fixed it for me was installing plasma-meta as for whatever reason that wasn't on my system at the time. this allowed me to select x11 again from the login screen and my system is working as normal.
i know we're still in early days of plasma 6, but does anyone know any good calendar/weather/time widgets that i can replace this one with? https://store.kde.org/p/998901/ haven't found another good calendar widget yet.
well, different strokes for different folks. could just be i like different kinds of games now - it has been a long time and my tastes have definitely changed. most of the appeal of skyrim for me is just that i love games you can mod the shit out of lol
me too! i stuck with mine quite a bit longer, but it ended up in the box all the same. there are very few good vr games that don't have that tech demo-y format lots of early titles had. and valve's promises of linux support were quite exaggerated, which made playing the couple games i kept coming back to even less convenient or just a worse experience. i stopped playing half life alyx halfway through, and came back and i couldn't get it to run on my linux pc anymore - like, thats the single game/hardware combo valve promised would 100% work on linux.
its kinda sad because i really believed in consumer vr back then, but seeing how the industry has stagnated has shown that either it isn't possible or we aren't ready for cheap, good, open vr. nobody is making good vr games because there are no users and there are no users because its too expensive to get a good vr rig and there are no games.
