Power Francers - Pompo nelle Casse

It's a very stupid song with lyrics that make no sense and are kinda hedonistic, and I hated it when it came out in 2010 because I felt that it somehow "promoted" that lifestyle, but it eventually grew on me and it brings me back to simpler times, now I get the irony of that song.

As much as I dislike Microsoft, back in 2015 I used Windows Phone 8.1 for about 6 months and I absolutely loved it, the UI was so smooth and polished, even on low end phones, until WP10 came out and it ran like trash and I went back to LineageOS.

Talos 2 is very promising in terms of gameplay, the first one is one of my favorite games and I played through it many times, and I've already played this demo 3 times.

This one is more ambitious, the environments are bigger, there's more content, the art style is fantastic, BUT... I can't help but feel a deep sense of technical jank that is shared by many players. The game is a constant state of desperately loading stuff and stuttering due to shader compilation, and you can feel all of it every time you turn around or walk in a new area. Even on ultra with native upscaling, the game only looks good if you stay still, as soon as you move you get smears from every object, the grass stops moving, you can clearly see problems with lighting like shimmering and bleeding, the water and vegetation have no physics whatsoever (the first one at least had water ripples), and despite using raytraced AO they're still using those horrible screenspace reflections (the first one had actual reflections). To top it all off, settings don't always apply correctly until you restart the game, and sometimes the game reverts them to whatever it feels more appropriate for your hardware with no indication whatsoever that it's happened. I've yet to see an UE5 game that doesn't have these issues, that engine just... doesn't look good in motion. To quote AVGN, it feels like driving an old beat up car, you're always afraid it's going to break down.

Also, one of the developers said they don't want to support Linux, not even through Proton, then another one said they'll try to get it to work. Get your shit together, the first one had a native port!

This is based on my experience with a 5800x, and a 6900xt, in 1440p, so your mileage may vary and I know they're hard at work to improve the situation.

So yeah, respect for croteam for making what it's undoubtedly going to be a great puzzle game, but shame on them if they release it in this state.

I like EDM and electronic music so I just leave the radio on with Tomorrowland One World Radio while I work. I also browse sites like beatport and look at their charts and if I find something I like I check out other people are buying, sometimes I pirate, sometimes I buy if I want to support a small label or a lesser known artist.

Got myself an Eaton as many of you suggested. The fan is noisy af but I can probably replace it, other than that it's perfect.

It's always sad to see users being mistreated like this but what never ceases to amuse me is the amount of time that Windows users are willing to waste in order to remove all this trash from their systems and have a usable experience, only for it to be ruined again with something worse with the next update. At this point, they either don't know that alternatives exist or they have Stockhom syndrome or something.

I used to do that A LOT and you can still find all my old guides on my website as a testament to that, they were soooo long, it took hours to do a "clean install", they took days to write, and even then I would run into so many issues because of Windows Update... One day I realized that I was doing more work to make Windows usable than the average Arch user and I just gave up. Linux wasn't ready for gaming yet so I had to dual boot for a while, but thankfully that's not a problem anymore. I couldn't be happier.

I got it in May 2022 after going to the dentist. Symptoms came after 2 days, similar to a cold. I just took something for the fever and I was back in action in about 2 days. The flu I got last year was way worse than covid.

I like wearing my wetsuit when I'm alone, sometimes I even sleep in it. I like the look and feel of neoprene.

It's doable, just follow the installation guide meticulously and read the page about nvidia drivers first. The wiki is excellent.

If you're worried that you might end up with a broken system, try installing it in a VM first until you're familiar witht the whole process, or try an intermediate distro like manjaro or endeavouros that have an automatic installer and will sort out driver issues for you.

Yeah, kind of. I doubt they analyze what you say on it but they could do it, technically.

I would recommend using a self-hosted instance if you can, it's very easy to set up with docker.

From neutral to ground there seems to be just some noise and a bit of DC.

Yes, I tried different outlets, doesn't make a difference. I checked the wiring inside the plug too, the connection seems solid.

I tested live to ground, live to neutral, both in and out of the UPS, and I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

The input signal isn't a clean sine wave but it's not dirty either, I'd say it's sine with some extra harmonics and a little bit of noise. There were no sudden peaks or meaningful variations even while the UPS was switching furiously.

I don't have CFL bulbs, only LEDs. I can't think of anything else that could be causing interference. I'll try contacting the power company as suggested by @glimse@lemmy.world

Thanks for all the replies.

If you're serious about gaming on linux then yes, the AMD situation is a lot better than nvidia's, you'll have better compatibility and better support in general. I would suggest something better than a 6700xt though, you can get good deals on used 6000 series cards and even new ones in some countries.

I'd say I'm above average but not a genius, IQ professionally tested at 117.

I have decent logic skills, spatial awareness, but I really think I lack social skills, I have a very hard time picking up social cues and that kind of stuff. That's something an IQ test can't measure and it's my weakest spot.

In 2018, I had an infection and I basically couldn't eat or drink almost anything without throwing up, even a sip od water would make me sick for hours. The antibiotics made it even worse.

I lost over 15kg in 2 weeks, I legit thought I was going to die. It took almost 2 years before I could eat normally again.

Good to know, I'll keep an eye on it. Too bad they don't have a proper fdroid repo yet

I use both Mull and Mulch, the latter being a chromium based browser considered the successor to Bromite, which hasn't been updated in a while. I can recommend both honestly, I just use both for different things.

Mull can delete all data when closed which is better for privacy so that's the one I use the most, but Mulch provides a webview for the entire system through a magisk module which improves the entire system.

Fitgirl installers usually work on linux, some of them crash but it can be worked around with WINE_HEAP_DELAY_FREE=1 (assuming you're using a wine build based on valve's tree). This also fixes a lot of old games crashing due to memory management issues and race conditions between threads.

It depends on the group. Some release directly to major torrent sites, others release them on a certain counter strike russian forum, some release them on usenet and then they are redistributed by the users.

I may be weird but I use both Ark (default archiver in KDE) and 7-zip in wine. The reason is that 7-zip has better compatibility with some file formats but most importantly, Ark can't extract files with unicode file names from some archive formats (including tar!). This problem has been known for years and affect many other linux archivers, it's a pain in the ass.
