I use LibreWolf but tell most people to use Waterfox since it’s just Firefox without Mozilla’s crap.

I like to live life dangerously. It’s only bit me in the ass twice in 3 years.

EndeavourOS btw.

Am I the only weirdo who updates their system when they’re about to log off for the night?

Then again I also only update like once a week…sometimes every 2 weeks if I forget.

Same goes if you’re running Firefox.

I once had Hotmail take forever to get past the loading screen, then actually navigating my mail was hellishly slow. Switched my user agent to Edge and “magically” it loaded instantly and everything was snappy…

Had a few other sites do similar slowdowns but that and Youtube were the most unashamedly blatant.

I’m seeing double here, four Linus’s!

And Battlefield 1

At least EA let us keep 4…for now.

From personal experience…

I mainly got used games as a kid so I saw this screen far too much…

Also probably why I ran into a bunch of glitches, my earliest memories of playing racing games involved a lot of driving “off the map” before a new area loaded in. which sometimes it wouldn’t and just crash after a while. >.>

Kate & Micro >:3

It depends entirely on the game and yes some games work with EAC on Steamdeck but not on Linux desktop…for some reason.

Ironsight on Steam (before it shut down) didn’t work on Linux for the longest time, The devs eventually enabled EAC through proton for about a year before making it Steamdeck only during the final months the servers were online.

And even using Steamdeck=1 in the launch commands didn’t fix that game for me. >.>

I do it the other way around, If you can install Linux yourself I can probably help you without ripping both our hair out.

The other side of that ignorance is if you can do simple tasks they also assume you have the skills to be the next big-tech genius.

The amount of times I’ve been asked to make someone a website or app…

Being “good with computers” is always relative, and to most people computers are basically black magic.

Here’s some stuff I’ve seen other people do.

Had a coworker buy a whole new laptop because their Google account had signed out and they couldn’t remember the password. (obviously buying a new laptop didn’t help)

My mother couldn’t figure out how to hang up a MS Teams call so she just closed the lid on her laptop, which she still assumes turns the whole PC off even after explaining to her multiple times it doesn’t…

My former boss call me into work on a day off to “recover” the main software we used since it had disappeared from the computer. It was still there, an update had just changed the desktop icon.

And most recently a buddy installed multiple viruses on their computer after I told them to ‘backup their files’ before doing a clean Windows install. I had forgot to mention that backing up their files just meant coping them to another drive…they immediately started searching up shady “file backup” programs from random sites on the internet.

I posted another update. while the previous fix kinda worked, It couldn’t run the game with mods. (which most PD2 players these days do) and I didn’t really test that before logging off for the night.

Ended up being more an issue on my systems end than the game itself. >.>

Just tried on the same Proton version both with and without the wsock command and still nothing…

Only just found out about Omarchy the other day and it’s just a Hyperland config with a bunch of Ai shit pre-installed…

Why are people even talking about it?

Thought it was more a prison thing.

I use a DS4 and used a DS3 for years before that.

Using none Xbox controllers on PC used to be a pain, I remember the hoops I had to jump through to get my DS3 pad working with Windows 7. Now it’s easier than ever.

I actually didn’t like the DS4 controller for the longest time because of the thumb-sticks but found some replacements a while back that has the more comfy (to me) domed design of the earlier PS controllers.

Amazon Link, couldn’t find them sold anywhere else in the UK sadly…

This might have been just a me issue.

But I used to be a long time Total/Double Commander user on Windows Vista & 7. But sometime after I switched to Windows 10 it stopped letting me change the default file manager to anything other than explorer…

I use the split panel feature in dolphin a lot. the shortcut is F3 if you didn’t know already.

Started playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 again after being disappointed by the “remaster” which was just a THPS 3 and 4 map-pack without all the maps and a premium price tag…

Kinda did it backwards since I actually replayed THPS4 again after they announced the original single player mode wouldn’t be in 3+4 >.>
