  • 1$ = 10 points only works for dollars, here's the german version for example, you still need a calculator.The moment you can buy more shit with the same amount of money it derides the 1 dollar = 10 points. Btw if you buy the more expensive packs you can forego physical items for more poe vbucks.

  • They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?

  • I played it and had a great time a few years ago and I'm certainly no 13yo or edgelord. Vtmb has a very unique setting, good writing and a great soundtrack. The gameplay is probably the worst part about it though, it's also quite unfinished in the later parts. Don't open it.

  • Most people aren't buying their virtual currency 1:1 in the path of exile shop, they buy it through FOMO bundles which distorts its value just the same. For example right now you can buy into the early access, but here's the kicker at 30$ it also comes with 300 points, so what's the value of the early access or the points?

    Path of exile has other positives aspects going for it, you can finish it without spending any money and it's not P2W, although there's a pay for convenience buy-in that costs about the same as a regular game. But its micro transactions and virtual currencies are as predatory as everyone else with overpriced items, rotating sales and gambling boxes.

  • Not sure if I'm a fan of this

  • Let's put things into perspective, it's a biyearly notification that sustains the entire gnome ecosystem, I'll remind you that the GNOME foundation pays for the hosting costs, the paperwork and sometimes even development for the GNOME project that includes dozens of apps, libraries and GTK.

    This is just the first implementation that will get ironed out in the next few years, like making sure it doesn't pop up in full screen windows and if you read through the issue there will also be an opt out in the settings.

  • I looked into it and the reason this is happening is because GNOME sets the notification to critical, and here is a design team member requesting that the notification be made urgent, as for why i can only guess.

  • It's easy to test with notify-send test, and yeah GNOME does block notifications while fullscreen applications are open. I wonder how that notification went through, maybe gamescope isn't properly registering the fullscreen application or it's x11 wine being the problem.

  • GNOME lets you block notifications on a per application basis.

  • Parents fail all the time, that's when the government needs to step in and take action, in this case by making sure kids can safely play the game. And I disagree, Roblox's entire business revolves around children, they make money off them at every step and they even pay kids to make content for their platform; they should be and they are rightfully being held accountable for what happens on their platform.

  • I don't know what "deck mode" is. I'm using gnome with proton-ge, wine-wayland and it works out of the box if that helps.

    Path of exile 2 just works though? It even has a vulkan renderer.

    missing HDR, vrr

    That depends on the compositor you're using, support is still relatively new but it works just fine on GNOME and KDE.

  • Pop!_OS 24.04 Beta Along With COSMIC Desktop Beta In Late September

    Jump

  • From what I remember they were using GNOME for pop os with some custom addons they had made (for example a tiling addon). GNOME updates will sometimes break addons and I think the pop os people got tired of this.

    That's barely a footnote compared to the development time that writing an entire DE requires, not to mention that now they can't piggyback off GNOME's development anymore and they'll have to do everything themselves. There's a reason Ubuntu eventually abandoned Unity and came crawling back to GNOME.

    rust implies performance and security

    Rust implies only 1 thing, and that's no memory leaks, assuming you don't use "unsafe" code. It's still very much vulnerable to logic bugs and has the same performance as c (GNOME) and c++ (KDE).

  • Looking to make the switch - Advice?

  • I agree that Ubuntu is a solid distro and would recommend it before Mint, it's just not at the top of the list anymore. But if you're happy with what you have, that's all that matters.

  • I wonder if I missed a memo.

    Ubuntu isn't really made for regular users, canonical doesn't care about you, they're in it for the server / enterprise money; they'll regularly take decisions that go against your best interest like pushing snaps and adding ads to the terminal.

    These days you don't need .deb files with how ubiquitous flatpaks are becoming so there's no real reason to stick to ubuntu anymore. If you like the ubuntu release model, fedora should be the closest alternative. It's still sponsored by a corporation, but they have a loose hand over the distribution.

  • If you really gotta stick with windows, you upgrade to windows 11. ESU is fine for a bit, but everyone will start dropping support for windows 10 in the next couple of years, starting with nvidia in 2026. LTSC is not for regular users.

  • Watched a video about Debian and now I am not sure is the best for me.

  • https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable

    Debian Unstable (also known by its codename "Sid") is not a release, but rather the development version of the Debian distribution containing the latest packages that have been introduced into Debian. It is not a "rolling release", as no release-like quality assurance and integration testing is done on it.

    You need some amount of testing because packages do break, the 2 week testing window on arch is really important in making sure your pc can at least boot.

  • Debian unstable and Debian testing aren't meant for daily use, I'm not sure why you're even bringing them up.
