I do stuff

  • Running games through Proton is as simple as clicking install and then play on Steam. You might need to enable Steam Play or such but I haven't had setup or config troubles with games in years now

  • Don't you know that GUIs are super double duper against the unix philosophies of old? Mr Linux Torbald rolling in his grave just thinking of it

  • For the first one, try Lutris

  • DSP recently got localized small distribution drones, you can convert any storage box into a tiny logistics station now. It's pretty sweet, really reduces the spaghetti early on in recent playthroughs

  • I switch between this and Shutter on a regular basis depending on what I feel like using that day.

  • I'm sorry, my goal wasn't to be a bother. My initial comment was intended to be friendly and funny - I'm not trying to patronize or be antagonistic. I learned a couple of years ago that I have autism, so I should have learned my lesson by now and stopped trying to be funny; It never pans out the way I mean for it to.

    Hope I wasn't too much of a drag on your day, and I hope it gets better for you.

    With that said, a genuine question with no jokes: Can you help me understand how 2016 counts as recent, given the context? It was almost a decade ago, and I'm having trouble comprehending how it counts at all as recent since in tech "recent" usually means "in the last 2-3 years" unless you're comparing to something from a much longer time ago like the 90s.

  • It was a lighthearted jab at calling 8 years ago recent; Not a political statement about Apple or operating systems.

    8 years is a ton of time in tech, CPUs from 2016 are ancient. Single-core CPU performance has doubled in Intel's laptop chips since then, and modern laptop CPUs from Intel are often 12-core, versus the top end 2016 MacBook Pro having 4 cores.

    Not trying to start any fights, was just poking fun at the choice to call 2016 recent

  • I can read, and a 2016 MacBook pro is not even a bit recent; It's from 8 years ago :-)

    Just a bit of light-hearted leg pulling, nothing to get worked up over

  • I hate to break it to you friendo, but 8 year old hardware isn't recent. It may still be usable, but that doesn't make it recent. It's ok though grandpa, let's get you back to bed

  • The dual GPU problem has actually for the most part also been solved; Optimus rarely poses a problem these days

  • Group policy lets you basically configure anything on any machine in the active directory domain; Installed programs, installed updates, basically any settings, schedules, services, automatically adding (and limiting by users if you want) network devices like printers and storage... It's pretty powerful, and does way more than just filesystem permissions.

  • I'm already autistic, what's it gonna do, give me a software update?

  • Just here in the comments as a top level comment, as an explanation of the image

  • Your mom's lol

  • I printed and assembled one myself for about $90 for all parts, so I can somewhat understand some of the the prices... But whew that's expensive

  • If just telling her what you want isn't enough for you to feel like you're communicating effectively, try asking her if you could add to it by telling her how you want it, and then maybe expand to how you're desiring to feel about it.

    E.g. not just "I would like oral" but instead, "I would like oral, and I'd love to hear that you're enjoying it, however you want to express it." <- This is a request that is direct and specific but doesn't feel robotic or unceremonious IMHO.

    I have ASD and my wife doesn't, so we've established that it often makes the most sense when we just explicitly just ask one another, "what can I do for you tonight?" Which leads to very specific answers about what we're wanting to get out of it and how we can best achieve that together. "I've been thinking about you in this way" or "I'd like to know what it looks/feels/tastes/sounds like when you ..." Followed by describing whatever action would best fulfill the desire, followed by any specifics and how we're feeling about it now. "Now that we've talked about it I'm definitely excited to see that" and such.

    Dunno if that's helpful but there might be ways to make it feel more special while still being explicit and direct! Just talk about the how and why and how you feel about it.

  • Honestly this thing solved a very specific problem for me: My car has no good way to mount a phone for car usage so I've always kept it in the center console. Car Thing just put a remote on my dash for that with buttons for presets and easy song skipping.

    I only got it for $10 though, and that was two years ago. It has convinced me to get a new head unit with Android Auto support on it for sure

  • They didn't ask permission before pushing Copilot, why would they ask permission for this?

  • Most of the complaining I see is that they're not going open source, they're going "source available"

  • And all day and all night

    And everything he sees is just 🥶

    Like him, inside and outside
