  • There is also TempleOS, with a fork of C called Holy C built specifically for better integration with it

  • What are your hobbies?

    Jump

  • Warning - do not make your creative/fun hobby the one that also makes you money. I've met several people who were into woodworking as a hobby, started doing it on commission for family, friends, referrals, etc, and it quickly became a job rather than a fun hobby. The timelines and demands that come with doing commissions killed it for them, they still occasionally do woodworking as gifts/favors, but very explicitly just for family and close friends without timelines, and only charge for materials

  • systemd is all you need

  • Emacs, but I only use 'M-x butterfly C-M-c`

  • What are some powerful open source projects everyone should know?

  • I haven't seen anything bad about them (haven't been looking though). I've been using the futo keyboard and like it so far, the swipe isn't great but they're crowdsourcing the training so I have high hopes

  • Having to use windows at work makes me appreciate my desktop Linux experience at home.

  • My company already did - it was a shitshow and my laptop sucks even more now.

  • Games that restore faith in the industry?

  • I love indie games - here's my favorites list!

    TerrariaDeep rock galacticFactorioDwarf FortressCataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (free and open source - check it out!)Stardew ValleyStarboundRimworld (I much prefer dwarf fortress, but I found this first and got a few hundred hours in it too)Battlebit remastered

  • What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?

  • It sounds like a barebones beef stroganoff

  • Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42

    Jump

  • I got the game and some small ship bundle a year or two ago for like $20. It was a pretty fun game for the cost, but I honestly wouldn't pay more than $30 for it. It's buggy, runs like hot garbage even on my 3080 ti, and it's very much a mile wide inch deep content wise from what I remember

  • Jack Black is what happens when the class clown doesn't become depressed and instead becomes even more of a clown

    Jump

  • Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's not too long before committing suicide. There's really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?

    Jump

  • Nope, haven't done anything harder than ibuprofen tbh, never had a desire to try. I do dream visually though

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?

    Jump

  • I have complete aphantasia, I can't even visualize a ball or table, or anything else - never have been able to, I see absolutely nothing when I close my eyes and can't visualize or see things in my head at all except when dresming. Same for my Dad. He can apparently visualize an extremely tiny amount (like the night sky but just black + stars, etc) when he's high on thc gummies. I've never been high so idk if it works for me.

    It took me 24 years to realize that people actually can actually see images in their head when they think about something or intentionally imagine it. I always thought that phrases like "picture it in your head" or "see in your head what it will look like" were just phrases, not that people actually can see things when they think about it.

  • The main limitation of Nvidia gpu's is you can't use Wayland on most WM's (you can on Ubuntu, but then you're using Ubuntu)

  • Oh... I don't think there's a word for it...

    Jump

  • The phrase taking it up the ass isn't homophobia, it means you're getting fucked by them and not in a good way just like everyone else.

    Everyone has a butthole in which to get fucked without lube by canonical, but at least they don't wrap it in sandpaper like Apple or use a nail-ridden baseball bat like Microsoft. Arch and nix go slow and use plenty of lube, embrace gently butt stuff from your os.

  • Have you ever purchased the full-sized version of a free sample you received?

  • Just a warning, the big factorio 2.0 update and space age dlc are coming out on October 21st. My supervisor is taking the whole week off for it

    What purchases have been the best for your mental health?

    Jump

  • I've always been a sucker for Terraria and Starbound when I want to build, factorio for automation, dwarf fortress for planning/management, and cataclysm dark days ahead for survival (not sure if it counts since it's free and open source - do NOT buy it on steam).

    I greatly prefer games with a lot of mechanics that I can get lost in over ones that look really good with minimal functionality which is too common nowadays imo... I also like art styles of these games a lot

  • I tried switching to Gmail for Android and noped out immediately

    Jump

  • I switched to proton mail about 3 months ago since I was already using proton VPN and pass and I'm very happy with it so far. If you use pass + mail you can easily create website-specific aliases (automatically or with a few button presses) so you don't expose your own email, and if you start getting spam you'll know exactly who sold your email.

    Primary downside is that since all of your mail is encrypted, on mobile you can only use the official proton mail app, not any third party apps. On desktop there is a bridge app that lets you use others though (I personally use thunderbird)

  • Almost nine gigabytes in size: Windows update 24H2 creates an undeletable cache file

    Jump

  • Multi monitor issues are purely on your distro - and are pretty easy to fix. At least for me on arch and bspwm (I haven't touched a Debian based install or full DE in years), setup was as easy as making my randr script run when my WM starts up, I imagine it's even easier with a full DE.

    For 2.5 gb/s internet... I've never run into any problems or even had to configure anything. Fresh barebones arch install with lan, 2.5 gb/s out of the box. If you're getting less (my guess is 1 gb/s?) it's almost certainly a hardware issue (motherboard/network card is only 1 gb/s, port on router and/or switch is 1 gb/s, etc)

    If you're having trouble with something, I highly recommend searching for the problem after checking a relevant wiki (archwiki is an awesome resource if you're on arch). If you're having issues you can't find problems to, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll try to help you out. I'm no expert, but I've been exclusively on Linux for 3 years (since I graduated and no longer was required to be on windows at all) and haven't run into any issues that I didn't find a relatively easy fix for)

    Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

    Jump

  • Lutris is awesome.Open source games, games with their own launcher, games on steam, gog, etc are all in it. Can pick to run things natively on Linux, use proton (pick your version or just use latest), wine, or choose from others, and it does it seamlessly. For games you already have installed on steam, you don't need to reinstall them, it finds them and makes them runnable from within lutris once you connect your steam account, you can also install games that you own on any of your connected launchers, and browse/download your undownloaded games from them

    Examples for some of the stuff I have all in it now:Catacyslm: DDA catapult launcher (free and open source game - highly recommend you try it out. Takes some getting used to, but there isn't much you can't do. Also, make sure you get cataclysm-tiles or use a launcher. ASCII is pure, but hard to get used to. Also, DO NOT buy it on steam.)All of my installed steam gamesCyberpunk 2077 and the witcher 3 via gogFFXIV (the official launcher, not steam)Vintage story (open source but not free - highly recommend if you like open world survival crafting games with a big emphasis on survival)
