This seems very unhealthy. Maybe go take a stroll around the block?

Edit: I’m referring to OP or whoever it was that made this image

Idk, I always wear deodorant so I don’t have enough data to compare.

Maybe you lack the body odor gene and that makes you sweaty when you use deodorant? Or maybe it’s a reaction to the specific brand you use?

We already have the technology for AI waifus. I bet we'll be able to print AI body pillows before the end of next year.

Or my grandfather.

I want to sponsor an act called like MURDER DEFENSELESS CHILDREN AND BANISH THEIR SOULS TO HELL ACT, but it’s just a tax cut for rich people.

If you’re doing a new build and aren’t scared of following (very) complicated tutorials, you should look for a motherboard/CPU combo that supports something called “IOMMU”. Not all hardware supports it, and it isn’t really advertised.

Basically, that lets you run Windows in a VM with full GPU passthrough. Combined something like WinApps, and you have the ultimate PC that can run basically anything.

Depends on how you installed it, but most tutorials have you use the system package manager, so yes doing the typical pacman/apt/dnf/whatever update should do it.

You can check your current driver version by running ‘nvidia-smi’ in a terminal.

I think you misinterpreted my comment. Starfield is currently broken, and we need to wait for a fix from Nvidia.

If you train on AI generated art, you get bad results.

Lutris is good for that. It can be confusing at first if you don’t know how Wine works, but it’s very easy to use and doesn’t require Steam.

Nvidia drivers work fine, they always have (I’m using a 4090 on my fedora workstation). This is a common misconception.

Nvidia’s drivers are a problem because they are not open source. This creates headaches for developers and the community at large. But for end users, they work just fine. Nvidia doesn’t just dump untested code on the internet and call it a day, they have full time staff dedicated to building and testing linux drivers.

One recent problem is that the current latest driver is not compatible with Starfield. This is a common occurrence even on windows, and is why Nvidia and AMD regularly release “game ready” drivers before a major game launch. On Windows, Starfield crashed with the latest AMD driver for the same reason.

Since it isn’t open source, our only option is to wait for Nvidia to release a new version. If it was open source, the community could fix the issue immediately without having to wait.

The problem with Linux as a desktop is that all the money and investment goes into server use cases. There really aren’t many companies investing into the desktop. I think Valve might he the only big company with a major interest in it, but they’re mostly focusing on their own closed ecosystem. It’s the classic chicken and egg problem.

So if magically we see desktop usage go up, investment will go up, and we’ll see much more momentum.

Regarding viability though, I think that’s not going to be solved with more investment. The problem is the millions of people making trillions of documents in MS Office. Microsoft goes out of their way to make it extremely difficult for competitors to achieve 100% compatibility. Unless that changes through regulation or something (since it’s clearly anticompetitive), I don’t think the hypothetical linux desktop wave will survive very long.

Adobe, Autodesk, and a few others are also at fault for not supporting linux, but that’s a different issue. They’ll go where the money is, and if Linux usage goes up, they’ll have to support it or risk losing their strong market positions.

It’s all an annoying chicken and egg problem.

Found it! It was by a dev named Zachary Simone, but it appears to have been taken down from the app store at some point. Interesting that it still works for you, as it seems to be using a blocklist, and I doubt that gets updated anymore.

God is a brony confirmed

Interesting, thanks for the suggestion. I found Hush but sure about Freedom. I found one with that name, but it’s a screen time app/site blocker. Is that it?

I suggested waking up earlier because I don’t know anything about your life/schedule. You’re the one who knows it best, and the one who knows where to find 15-30 minutes to do some exercises. Working two jobs is tough, but people do it all the time while still managing to fit exercise into their life.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to tell you what to do or shame you into working out. It’s your life and if you don’t want to work out, then that’s fine.

I just want to point out that when someone thinks they “dont have time” for working out, they’re wrong. It’s never about time. It’s like if someone told you they don’t have time to brush their teeth and shower every day because they work two jobs, need to walk their dog, and have a bad elbow. Would you take that justification seriously? Exercise is just another routine.

Wake up earlier and do it in the morning when you’re not tired, and don’t do knee exercises until it heals.

Exercise only works if you make it a routine/lifestyle, like brushing your teeth. It’s one of the few things in life that is all positives with zero downsides.

Weight lifting 3x per week. It feels good, and I’m too lazy for cardio.

I think ui/ux has the opposite problem where there are not enough programmers. Idk if there is a shortage of ux people, but I do know that it takes a significant amount of work to implement and maintain ui projects.

If you are interested in helping out though, you should join the discussion forums for a project like KDE or Gnome. I doubt the Gnome people will give you the time of day, but there are many KDE projects that would appreciate volunteer work from someone like you. Browse the discussions at htltps://discuss.kde.org and see if you can find a project to latch on to, or find a project you think you can improve, and proactively reach out to the maintainer(s) with a proposal.

Just be mindful that it may take a while before your changes are implemented, since everyone is a volunteer with other jobs and responsibilities.

Sublime Text is where it’s at
