The Sun provides us with life, skin cancer, and heatwaves. Nothing is perfect.

What, you didn't know you had to crank the power to high before microwaving your phone? Rookie mistake

Damn...I've been discovered

🤢

I once installed Bazzite on my PC. I am an sway user/addict. So thought about installing sway on Bazzite.

Below is my journey

Let me try to download and compile it.

Downloaded but it won't compile.

The libraries/dependancies are not installed. Here, try installing the packages via brew.

Nope, some of them are available and some are not on Brew.

Now what do I do? Okay, there is something called distrobox where I can install whatever I want.

Looks like I have to learn distrobox. Wait, sway is not a simple application, it's a full blown window manager. Even if it compiles, will it work?

Most of the people online (Discord) told me the process won't be very pretty.

Do I want to invest another week experimenting with distrobox?

Nope, installed Nobara the next day and I'm happy.

Disclaimer: Bazzite is a fantastic distro and it's powering my RoG Ally. Atomic distros are fantastic for the niche they fill.

this anti cheat is the most privacy invasive kind, controlling and monitoring everything on your computer

Avg gamer: Woah that's really bad.

Me: So you'll uninstall the game now, right?

Avg gamer: What? Heck no. I'm Diamond in Valorant. And all my friends are playing it

They will understand what you said. But changing habit is way harder on a mass scale. It's well known for years that Vanguard is a rootkit but the game is as popular as ever. If you tell this on any gaming community, you'll be responded with "Oh and switch to LinSux and play decade old games?"

Take 100 random gamers. How many of them will know what ring 0/kernel level anti-cheat even means? They don't care. They will happily accept whatever the publisher puts inside the game.

The only exception to this is Denuvo because it was affecting performance.

What's the XKCD code for this?

Obligatory https://lemmy.world/c/fuckcars

complete with some BS explanation

"For child safety!!!111"

"I understood that reference"

i didn't think I'll ever see those sequence of words

Scrolling this thread in office has been quite nerve-wracking

Development, I’m not sure about

This has been done by Github several times. But thankfully, all major distros are not primarily hosted by Github.

However, I am unsure how powerful sanctions are on distros if the US becomes relentless.

I had a brain fart. I completely forgot that Canonical is British.

I'm afraid a federated micro-blogging website using ActivityPub doesn't/can't exist ;_;

Doesn't matter at this point. He'll pay Trump another 1 million dollars and this news will simply vanish.

That's gonna be a no from me, dawg

tl;dr for others

A: "I have an Pink Unicorn inside the trunk of my car. It vanishes the moment you try to open the trunk or look at it."

B: "What? That's absurd"

A: "I know it exists. It's up to you to disprove it"

B: "But there is no way one can capture/observe/understand it with any sort of scientific instrument"

A: "Don't care. Skill issue"

I see you have read Dr. Toshio Bukkake's paper. Didn't expect to find a fellow man of culture over here.
