  • I’d been using linux for work for a couple years and it was going fine. I had a pretty crappy laptop at home with limited storage and I was constantly wrestling with Windows storing update stuff, installing adware during updates, etc.

    I’d heard of proton and about how well it was going with it, so I had an idea linux gaming was possible.

    Eventually something happened during a windows update that required I reinstall the OS and I just pulled out the flash drive I used to install linux on my work machine and tried it out. Eventually I did have to dual boot (on a bigger drive) for some games, but nowadays I’m all linux everywhere.

    Thanks for waiving that little snafu, I appreciate it, sincerely.

    As far as I’m concerned, social democracy is center left. Maybe there’s a difference between European and NA perspectives. I live in a social democratic country and I have to say life is pretty good.

    This is what I mean by that depiction of the spectrum not being reasonable. I don’t see how someone can say that on equal distance from the center you have social democracy and genocide.

    You see it as fascism (the far right) and reasonability (the far left). I don’t really have anything to say to that other than, that is not reasonable. I come from a formerly communist country. I won’t entertain that bullshit.

    Edit:

    Like if one side said let’s not do slavery, and one side says let’s do slavery, a centralist compromised means being okay with some slavery.

    This is completely batshit crazy, what the fuck. I’m a few more drinks in right now and don’t have the same filter, but “not slavery” is not what the far left is.

    Edit 2: Yeah I probably could’ve phrased it better or just not answered. Sorry about that, shouldn’t have called you batshit crazy. If I were to phrase it better, I don’t believe that is a reasonable depiction of what the spectrum looks like. The far left isn’t a rainbow land of inclusion, acceptance, and happiness. I don’t really care to debate with communists the failings of communism, I’m not going to change my opinion on my experience and they won’t change their world view because of some random comment on lemmy.

    It’s probably a bad idea to reply in the first place because I don’t really want to argue… at all, let alone about politics and what label I or someone else has, but fuck it.

    I’m more confused about what you’re trying to say than what I think about Gaza. I don’t really care about Biden, I’m not an American. There’s nothing I can do about what he says or does. I can’t tell you whether he’s a centrist or not, frankly I don’t care.

    Naturally, I don’t agree with any support whatsoever, financial, military, or otherwise of what Israel is doing in Gaza. The same applies for the vast majority of armed conflict… ever. It might apply to all of it, I don’t care to do a quick run through all of human history and make a judgement call on each and every one but… get this. War bad. Subscribe for more hot takes.

    As to what I’m doing about it, I’m not protesting or arguing with faceless text online. I don’t have the time, inclination, or energy for it. I have a lot of things to worry about that are a lot closer to me. Elections happened, and are coming up, and I’m gonna vote according to my interests which happen to include not supporting Israel.

    Having said all that, I’m not even sure how disagreeing with killing innocent people and supplying weapons for killing innocent people is a political alignment factor. Shit’s crazy, what the fuck.

    As far as I’m concerned, both the far left and the far right have completely insane dealbreaker things I never want to see happen (again). The reason I think I’m centrist is that there are ideas on both sides that are a lot tamer that I think could help us all live fulfilling, comfortable lives. When I think about compromising with either side, it’s about trading between these tamer ideas. I think it’s strategically worthwhile to not get everything you want from those tamer ideas immediately so you can at least get some of them.

    Surely I won’t regret typing this out.


  • Deskmat under the keyboard

    Tape and/or foam mods in the case (will change the pitch of the sound, which might disturb less)

    O-rings, but these will change how they keyboard feels. I didn’t like them

    Foam inserts for keycaps - like o-rings but foam. never tried them

    Lubricating the stabilizers - should mitigate some space and enter key rattle

    If your keyboard supports hotswap, new switches are a more expensive option.

    Edit: The person who invented markdown WYSIWYG text editors is on my shit list






  • Romania is easily explained with the fact that a lot of it is rural and basically everyone living in a village has a cat. There are also stray city cats that people feed that they might consider as theirs.

    Turkey and Greece are a bit more surprising to me. I guess people don’t consider stray cats theirs even if they feed them.

    Yup. I know exactly what you mean. I bought Nobody Wants to Die, which is rated platinum on protondb, and it just crashes within 1 second of startup for me. 3h of fucking around with proton versions, launch arguments, even tried lutris, nothing. The only error I could see took me to a stackoverflow thread about vga to dvi adapter issues and the fix was not relevant. My protontricks is apparently also broken which I have no idea why or when it broke.

    I got it refunded, it is what it is. I’ll look into fixing my protontricks when I have more time…


  • I just beat this guy. Walked in with a colossal hammer and pancaked him. Took two tries because the first time I didn’t realize he didn’t turn into the fat one, but it was a summon instead.

    I don’t really have much advice, really. Run sideways towards him when he spams projectiles, dodge into the big projectile, ignore his summons since your big hammer will hit them too anyway.



  • I really believe that this has nothing to do with kids. “For the kids” has made me suspicious of intentions for a long time. It makes it difficult to argue against it because it implies that you’re a pedo or are doing something illegal otherwise. You implement general monitoring “for the kids”, and then you add some anti piracy stuff to it, then you add some hate group detection, some anti government group detection, etc. Now you have everything you need to get ahead of any danger to the government. If the people can’t organize, you can do whatever you want.
