Thanks to this one comment alone I stayed up a few hours last night to switch to Bazzite.

I had a few oddities with Pop OS and I wanted to turn off the fans and do stuff. The fact that Bazzite had it all rolled in is impressive. The keyboard worked immediately. I don’t think I read the instructions well enough but I figured out I was supposed to use bazzite as the pw to get in.

This is what I think I was looking for, at least from what I see so far!

Thanks so much!

hmm, I still think I want to use my laptop for media and gaming and general stuff … I’m leaving next week so I may try a safer OS in the mean time. I think when I get back I definitely want to delve deeper into Bazzite. I think I wanna see if Bazzite would be a good match for my friend. He was thinking about an XBOX Asus ROG Ally X and I was saying that it’s quite pricey if you’re not going to use the handheld component. He said he just wanted a console-like experience so he can just turn it on and play and that he has a Mac for his other stuff. I’m reading the Bazzite github repo and it says: “Directly boots to Game mode matching SteamOS’s behavior.” for the Home Theatre PCs which is what seems to match for him.

Pika OS is looking pretty good. The website is saying all the things that I like!

The laptop has an RTX 4000 card so it looks like I’ll need the specific OS, but I think it was the same as Pop OS. I had to download a specific Nvidia distro version as well, so it’s very similar here. I’ll give it a spin shortly!

I use Amethyst on Mac and it’s quite good but it is a fancy repositioning system because it bugs out a few times a day and I need to force a refresh.

I mean … you don’t have to tell me that my opinion isn’t popular, it’s demonstrable. My opinion is statistically insignificant.

There’s a plethora of other things I’d give up like have a slighter bigger phone or a worse camera or wireless charging… I’d also trade those for an SD card slot but no one agrees with me and it’s just something I need to live with.

I was just hoping a phone like fairphone would give me the option to buy a small module or something to let me do it.

Yes, yes there’s adapters … yes, yes, you don’t need to use it … I understand. I just want it.

What’s going on with your keyboard? I’m curious, what’s your native language?

I don’t think I really understood the compilation portion.

Compiling in the web world can also include … type checking which I think is good, minifying code which is good, bundling code which is good. I understand that in this article that they allude to the fact that those can be bad things because devs just abuse it like expecting JavaScript to tree shake and since they don’t understand how tree-shaking works, they will just assume it does and accidentally bloat their output.

Also some static site generators could do things that authors and stuff don’t think about like accessibility and all that.

DO IT.

People should have dumped Reddit already. Force more users off!

I think you can do const thing = ... as constto lock down the mutation?

I know!!

I really wish it wouldn’t benefit Lex Luthor. If it makes waves, hopefully other similar types of cars will come along by the time my civic needs to be replaced.

I thought it was further along that a pipe dream with the demos and videos I’ve seen. I think I’m cautiously optimistic until it officially comes out and I see reviews.

It has the modularity I like at a reasonable price… We’ll have to see if it can deliver.

Sounds a bit like the Slate truck to me.

I remember when I graduated and went to New York for an internship. I went to the fridge and took a big swig of Coke and was like, whats going on with my teeth and mouth? It feels weird.

Then a few people told me and I was like, why’s Coke so popular in the US if it tastes like this? How come this Mexican Coke everyone is talking about isn’t more popular?

I gave up sugary soft drinks for the most part now. I do have it occasionally but it’s like once a week or two weeks at most.

lol he’s the DCEU superman actor as well as for the Netflix The Witcher series, The Tudors, Man from UNCLE, Mission Impossible: Fallout.

I don’t think it’s relevant to this specific meme though. He’s just handsome as all hell.

Amy [Adams] said, “Whenever I looked into his eyes, I started giggling because he has this effect on you. I think most women feel the same way about Henry. He’s dreamy.”

I bought a Pixel Pro Fold 9 because all these tech influencers were talking about how once you get one you can’t go back.

Yes, I can. I rarely unfold it.

It’s really expensive and I don’t see the value. I thought I’d use it most on a plane and it’s “kinda” more useful on a flight. Balatro plays better. However, I just wish I got a thinner phone that’s easier to carry for my runs.

I think I just want a smaller phone with a good battery life and a headphone jack.

If you do wind up getting a Pro Fold and have smaller hands like me. Get a Sinjimoru or something so you can grip it better. The “spine” of the phone is exposed and I dropped it after like a few weeks and guess where it scratched?

balkanization

For uninformed people like myself:

Balkanization is the process of a country or region fragmenting into smaller, often hostile units, typically driven by ethnic, cultural, religious, or geopolitical differences. The term originates from the Balkan Peninsula, a region that has experienced significant fragmentation throughout history, and the term is now used more broadly to describe similar processes elsewhere.

lol yes I understand I know I sound silly. My home/end aren’t typical on my keyboard. It’s like function and stuff, which breaks my flow for something I do so often.

I really want to root for Nintendo but they make it hard.

Opening up my steam library from a console was such a big WTF moment and then being able to suspend games was so mind-blowing.

It’s still not that beefy for triple-A but I’m considering getting GeForce Now running on it.
