  • Paccache helps, but sometimes a nuke is needed to clean up pkg.

  • What animated TV series would you like to see being made in the future?

    Jump

  • A movie or show based off of Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk RED.

  • If you were born with a disease that made you blind, complete loss of hearing by 20, have seizures, require a feeding tube, colostomy bag, wheelchair and have sleep apnea. Would you want to live?

    Jump

  • Part 1: No, that's worse than death.

    Part 2: Not my choice. It would be up to my kid. If they're in a state where they cannot make a choice, then I would put them out of their misery, because the alternative would be worse for them.

  • Tech bosses spend millions more on personal security

  • Just without the cool tech

  • how is linux for gamers?

    Jump

  • Pretty good. Some games have issues on Linux, especially some that don't have native controls for DualShock 4 controllers and not using Steam Input. Even the ones that do sometimes dont work without Steam Input on (which shows XBOX buttons).

    I've only had actual crashes with Forza Horizon 4 and 5 on Linux. Everything else works fine.

    Distro is Arch Linux (BTW).

    As to why I swapped, I get better performance on Linux than on Windows.

  • in what way do you prefer using Lemmy over Reddit?

    Jump

  • No karma means being able to post in any sub without having to have 100+ karma.

  • If you had 1 dollar and 24 hours what would you do?

    Jump

  • Cut it in half. Now I have two dollars.

  • What are some tech opinions that divide people the most but are actually pointless either side?

    Jump

  • Arch vs Nix.

  • The GameStop stapler that punctured a Switch 2 screen on launch day is being auctioned off for charity

  • This is that duct tape banana all over again.

  • For people who want to play their favorite games but are unable to, what are you currently doing?

    Jump

  • When I was in a situation where I couldn't play any games I wanted, I would watch no commentary, 100% playthroughs of my games so I could see all the content they have.

    Yes, it's not the same as actually playing it, but it's better than not ever seeing what the game is about.

  • What's the worst you ever hurt yourself as a kid?

    Jump

  • Let's see...

    • Accidentally stapled my thumb before school. Had to remove it before I left.
    • Twisted my ankle from jumping off the swings and not landing correctly.
    • Braked too hard on a wet, wooden surface on my bike and flew off it (I do mean flew, it was quite a few feet horizontally, and about 2 feet vertically in the air.)
    • Playing catch with my father and got hit about an inch from my testicles. Thankfully no damage to them, but it hurt about as bad as you can imagine.

    Surprisingly, no bones were broken, and I wasn't an outdoorsy kid either.

  • What was your biggest waste of money?

    Jump

  • $1000 x86-64 Linux tablet. Turns out, I didn't really need it, and it's too techy to sell to anyone in my neighbourhood, so it's just collecting dust.

  • What's your perfect hotdog with toppings?

    Jump

  • No toppings. I like them plain.

  • Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?

    Jump

  • At least you didn't use the em dash (—)

  • If you could have any vision-related superpower, what would it be?

    Jump

  • Some sort of HUD. Would really help navigation and other useful things.

  • Better alternative to GitHub with good git speeds?

    Jump

  • Is there a big cost with self-hosting, like bandwidth or storage, or is it generally fine?
