  • What's your favourite?

    Jump

  • A few years ago I went on one of those sites that just lists a shitton of them and one of them was like "the tides are just god pissing his pants when he sees chuck norris", which conjured this image of chuck norris flying around the earth while god repeatedly pisses his pants and sucks the piss back up his dick twice a day like a straw. I have never seen a chuck norris joke land the way it's supposed to lol.

  • Ubisoft shuts down any possibility of Rainbow Six Siege becoming playable on Steam Deck

  • How many of your friends you game with are non-linux users? That sometimes happens, but rarely. Usually they'll still play these titles when I'm not around. In fact the most common thing I've seen is they've already bought/downloaded the game and they'll ask if I'm willing to join, to which I'll say it doesn't run. Everyone I've met tries to accomodate for that particular play session, but they don't extend that as far as their purchasing habits.

  • it's just the worst

  • There can be a ton of reasons, albeit I personally also just stick with default (for me zsh). In typical linux user fashion I also must tell you that bash and zsh are shells, not terminals.

    The two main reasons you'd choose a particular shell is because you prefer it's configurability or syntax. Zsh has a bunch of features that you can enable and you can configure it to behave basically however you want, like adding spelling correction or multiline editing, but it's defaults absolutely suck unless your distro comes with a sensible config. Fish, which another guy here's raved about, goes in basically the opposite direction and is really nice to use out of the box (I haven't used it though). I hear it's technically not a valid /bin/sh substitute like zsh or bash because of syntactic differences, but that'd be a whole other rabbit hole if true.

    One other reason can be performance concerns because bash is pretty slow when treated as a programming language, but I'd argue you shouldn't organize your workflow so that bash is a performance bottleneck.

  • Help me choose a controller

    Jump

  • Over Christmas I got an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless controller because I found a GitHub gist page that showed it'd just take a udev rule to get all the features (gyro & extra buttons) working... only to find out that's a different controller than the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth. Something to keep in mind. Additionally, now that I have the latter too I will note that I could only get those features working when it's paired through bluetooth, not wired or using the WiFi dongle.

  • Can I finally start using Wayland in 2026?

    Jump

  • If your argument for Wayland is "stop using thousands of dollars in hardware to get it working", then that's not going to convince anyone. He doesn't address that as a solution because that's obviously a last resort.

  • I mean, it is a fantasy setting. The realism is already out with the "I magic 3Tbsp. of precum into your butt" line

  • Don't crucify me

    Jump

  • Go to anyone who mainly game either on consoles or a non-hand-built computer this. They won't do it, because it requires they spend a couple dozen hours researching not only parts but also distros, which is something they know they already don't care about. I think you might be underestimating the expertise you have in this subject by having it as a hobby if you think that's easy.

    yet another proprietary box like a console that affects repairability and how much of it you actually “own” it just because it has linux on it

    Even if I assume the steam hardware is as proprietary as any other random piece of hardware (don't think that's true), the reality is that I easily trust Valve 2-10x more in this regard than a Sony / Nintendo / whatever prebuilt to actually deliver a product that doesn't ship my data off to an advertiser and let's me replace the ssd without hardlocking itself. The Steam Deck has already done a better on this.

  • Jeopardy wall calendar pretending that the coastline paradox doesn't exist

    Jump

  • Limits can resolve to infinity. The coastline paradox is just the observation that the (semi-reasonable) assumption that landmasses are fractal shaped implies the coastline tends towards infinity with smaller yardsticks.

  • Looking for an Itch Recommendation?

    Jump

  • Speaking of PICO-8, there's also TIC-80 which is pretty similar (albeit with a smaller, less polished library of games). I'm a fan of Shadow Over 12 Lands, but I don't know if a JRPG like that is too close to what OP considers a "traditional RPG".

  • Has bad branding ever turned you off from software, FOSS or not?

    Jump

  • has a topic related name

    "wallwiz" is also pretty closely related to the topic. As OP states it also sounds less juvenile.

    unique new logo

    using a penguin as a mascot in foss is hardly unique.

    uses ai in a useful way

    we're on lemmy so there's almost certainly going to be a couple other replies that hammer on this specific point. But for my part: use of AI, to me, communicates a lack of effort. If they had commissioned someone who could be more familiar with the actual project to do the branding, that would tell me it's a project they gave a shit about.

    expresses art

    I don't consider "ai art" to actually be art. This is a whole debate we could have but I'll leave it at that.

    Unless you're talking about the functionality of the program, but that's separate from the branding issue OP is complaining about.

    provides stuff to theme your distro

    Yeah that's just what the program does. OP has no issues there.

    has a unique branding

    The branding is ai generated, which is to say: it looks like any other github repo with a filled out README.md

    is inclusive

    What do you mean by this? Feels like a random adjective to throw out there.

  • I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteries

  • Disposable sure, but it sounds like they're describing using rechargeable ones?

  • We have a algorithim at home

    Jump

  • I like the idea of scaled; boosting posts from smaller communities seems like it'd be a great way to find the niches I'm into.

    The problem I run into is that it goes so far that not being upvoted at all is enough to put a post on the front page. That'd be fine if it was pulling from a variety of sources, but testing it out just now I saw 5 posts in a row from the portugal comm, all with a +1 -0 score. Is it supposed to work like that or am I missing something?

    edit: 6 actually lol

  • Whenever some tabloid interviews some 112 year old lady, without fail she'll attribute her longevity to some random habit like having a lot of chocolate. Maybe this is what she meant...

  • Shoot your shot

    Jump

  • It's got an N shape in my experience. Stuff someone recorded just because the're horny sucks. When they know how to operate a camera then it'll be the most genuine fulfllment of whatever specific thing you're into. When they're being payed to do it you can tell everything's kinda stilted and it sucks. When they have enough budget and acting skills to make it theater quality then it's good again (though I've rarely seen that for whatever reason).

  • Locked

    Sometimes people like to complain about windows and iOS

    Jump

  • The reaction to "I'm not your fucking therapist" being "Do you believe there is truly not a single valid reason to use windows whatsoever" is just as absurd IMO (though some of these threads show that, yeah, some people think that).

    The scenario described by OP is they're just complaining about something about Windows/iOS/whatever just to vent and these people come in thinking they're being helpful by mentioning an alternative. I've come to find that there's 2 (relevant) personality types; people who complain because it's cathartic, and people who complain because they want their problem solved. Linux users are overwhelmingly the latter. So, from their perspective, they see someone who is complaining yet expects people to just sit there and listen, hence the "I'm not your therapist" comment.

    I don't think any of that is new, except for maybe the OS part. As a kid I remember seeing a bunch of interactions like this and it's always been much more a personality than a culture thing.

  • Here in the US I've gotten a lot of pickled herring over the years, and "mild" is NOT how I'd describe it. It's super sour and sweet (and creamy if you get ones with sour cream, which I usually do) One of my favorite foods, but now I'm worried that I've been eating something else lol.

    incidentally had some in my fridge for reference

  • Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server"

    Jump

  • I posted a negative review of kithack model club over this exact issue and got 50/50 clown to other awards on it. When I also talked a bit about it on the steam forums, I noticed there's a guy who clearly isn't working for the dev and goes to every post to tell them to go to the discord. I'd be fine with that if he didn't also argue with anyone who doesn't think that's good. Some people man.
