  • Glad it works for ya. I know that some bugs seem to be distro-dependent, so i recognize its more stable on some... for me? Nightmare.

    "Autohide" n dodge window feature of taskbar broken for several different apps, but not all. Sometimes displaces the border of the windows offscreen trying to hide

    Start menu freezes regularly

    Dolphin freezes n hangs a lot in general. God it took me all of 3 secs to say " I NEEd to disable that stupid bouncing "LOADING" animation ASAFP"

    Sections of taskbar dead/unclickable suddenly... aka bluetooth quick acess or volume controll

    Worst is a giant mesh of graphical glitching and artifacts upon waking from sleep, have to close windows, sometimes restart. Seems its a known issue w video caching for nvidia gpus (fucking nvidia, of course)

    ... Not a complete list. Anyway, I have GNOME installed on exactly the same pc, same distro, none of this bug shit happens.

  • Kde is so ugly and buggy, requiring tons of setup n knowhow to fix. GNOME feels limiting and oversimplified, but honestly 9 out of 10 times its fine.... even if its setting menu infuriates on the regular.

    Im old and i dont having 100 hrs to rice shit anymore

  • Good plan. Hard to say where my immense nostalgia ends and quakes "greatness" begins, but the og campaign is still one of my happy places after decades... and the folks at id n nightdive etc have done a great job adding to it and updating it for modern times. Dimension of the Machine is fantastic!!

    If possible, transport yourself back to 1997 and get some friends to do a local multiplayer threewave or deathmatch... god, my brothers and i had so much fun.

    I love q1 mods... if you want one thats much more aesthetically quake, try arcane dimensions

  • GrapheneOS - break free from Google and Apple

    Jump

  • Wish i could find where i read that google was planning to eliminate bootloader access... they walked it back in the end after expected uproar. Ultimately, the pressure from 'verified by google' and the changes to AOSP are enough pressure to push out ROMS as it is...

    Anyway, listen. I LOVE graphene. Everyone should use it, BECAUSE google is demonstrably a band of fuckwits. Im not trying to dissuade but inform. I am excited for an announcement about who theyre working with when they say their future is a phone made in connjunction with a "major OEM" maker. https://www.androidheadlines.com/2025/10/grapheneos-may-break-pixel-exclusivity-with-a-new-phone-in-2026.html

  • GrapheneOS - break free from Google and Apple

    Jump

  • Im not trying to "spread fud." The state of 3rd party software on android is where it is. Google is introducing a high friction system for unverified apps that includes fees paid directly to google, and is not releasing to aosp in advance at all... this potentially means things like f droid and aurora cant operate. It doesnt mean that gos wont "allow" sideloading, but that you wont have alternatives to load. It also means you will have to increasingly be limited to sandboxed google play, with more barriers to overcome to make those apps work on non-android. https://www.androidauthority.com/android-changes-third-party-app-stores-3613409/

  • GrapheneOS - break free from Google and Apple

  • Unfortunately though they certainly do not all work, and some work only partially. Depends on the bank, the app and the feature. Wallet services are completely unavailable.

    Jump

  • Have never looked back since i switched to gos... just buy a refurbed pixel to avoid giving big G ya monry.

    Remember, though, in less than 200 days google kills all "sideloading." It seriously fucks with gos, and they have hinted they will eventually disable flashing custom roms

  • Bluetooth is SO FAR FROM GREAT. it is, in fact, terrible.

    Wont connect to the right'profile' Connects to wrong device, Misprioritizes devices, Confuses which audio sink you want Will not reliably remember preferences and settings. Connects as telephone whether you want it to or not. Connects automatically w/out asking making you fiddle with settings every time. Requires menus/screens and setting shit just to function...as opposed to, say 'just plug it in' Broadcasts an easily exploitable signal to everyo e nearby Constantly needs battery/charge Has to 'talk' to you to function Very little if any standardization for pairing/trusting across MFG companies... i mean stop me anytime to let me know how flippi g "great" it is. We traded dead simple, reliable, universal tech for this deeply flawed, frustrating garbage just so we could say "look, no cables!!"

  • Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan?

    Jump

  • Yes. Cast iron is best. It and high carbon steel are the only real "non stick" because thyre the only ones you can season. Dont use "nonstick" pans they are just pollutants and give you cancer. Seasoning cast iron is easy (really... Do less! Stop reaming it and scrubbing it to death... just get it really hot and wipe it). Cast iron last forever... these other things become garbage in 1-5 yrs

  • She loved fast cars, horseback riding, did her own stunts, was rumored to have had an affair with the president, and people love to speculate that the car crash that killed her was orchestrated to prevent her going public...she died at only 29... She was kinda marilyn before marilyn. Also shes just stunning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_La_Badie
