The last part seldom is an issue for me, since i like my lyrics understandable, even if a substantial number of them might exceed the length of a telenovela-script lol

There are a few exceptions, but even those are more on the understandable side compared to how i expect a band named “Mating Wolverines” sounds - it IS an awesome bandname tho!

After reading the article, i had long lost count of how many people she had killed, poisoned, accused of witchcraft, accused of conspiracy, exiled, forced to commit suicide and so on - and that was BEFORE she became officially empress, which led to her cranking it up to 11 with a secret police that did not fuck around and installation of postboxes where people could denounce each other. Other rulers for sure learnt a thing or two from her.

This gatekeeping shit has always annoyed me while i was active in the goth and metal scene (which was and probably still is pretty small here, so the two tend to mix a lot).

I do only care about what shirt you wear as a global cue what style of music you might like or i like the design and artwork. The rest is really not that important.

I like a few bands where i would be hard pressed to name songs, because i only know them from streaming recommendations, which i only use while on the road; I might mark the band as a favorite, and some months later i go through my faves, check if they are still to my liking, and if they are, i make them available offline - that’s the point where i start learning album/track names.

“piss up a rope” is an expression i haven’t heard yet, it’s mine now :-)

calm down, cartman

That’s what i was thinking - the dense atmosphere might even allow for platforms which are permanently suspended in the air like an inverse submarine, offsetting a large amount of needed fuel for a space launch

The whine about removing X11 is pretty annoying. Fedora has done the same, and the impact of doing so seems to be pretty small; Xwayland provides the compatibility layer needed, and Nvidia driver issues have been pretty much eliminated.

The sudo change is a design choice and from an accessibility point of view a positive thing - people having problems with typing on a keyboard will probably welcome the change to make it visible when they properly hit a key.

But i can get behind the rest of the critique - an LTS release shouldn’t have feature incomplete and standard-ignoring core utils, and the audio dependency on snap is bordering on publicly taunting snap opponents. Also, an LTS probably shouldn’t opt for a bleeding edge kernel. And what is the reason for the (for a linux distribution) pretty high RAM requirements?

If someone asks me for an recommendation for linux newbies, i will probably go with fedora (or nobara if they game much). It’s been rock solid for me, easy to use for a newbie, and still gives you all the freedom you want if you are an advanced user.

Well, you do you. The Hypervisor releases are not Linux-compatible, since they depend on some Powershell-scripts for installation - which understandably fails under Linux. I also wouldn’t touch this stuff even with a stick because of the severe risk of bad actors getting low level access on my PC - a cracked game is one thing, but this actually awful from a security perspective. (Although i read that the newest iteration does not even requi

I simply set up Syncthing to synchronize the directory which contains the Wine-Prefixes for games, making the synchronization of Saves something I do not have to think about; this works for any game regardless of source, including itch.io, GoG and other games. I do like Steams Cloud saves, but my solution works even without internet connection. Btrfs deduplication keeps the storage requirements low.

I keep “Backups” of a lot of Games I own legally, just to make sure I am not dependent on some external service if I want to play them. And if push comes to shove, I have about 20 TB highly compressed game installers and Console Isos, which will last me until the day i die.

I also ditched google a while ago, switching to Metager - I do not miss Google at all, i can understand you completely in that regard.

Funny thing is that the Hypervisor workarounds do NOT work under Linux lol

Regarding finding cracked games, just google “free media heck yeah” to find trusted sources.

And making them run under Linux is - for the most part - as easy as clicking “Run installer” when adding them manually in Heroic Launcher.

That’s why i won’t touch any of those Hypervisor workarounds. Cracked games are fine - those don’t have my admin password and are running inside of Wine - but giving some unknown rando low level access to my PC is a big no-no, in addition to me having to install windows again, which will probably never happen for the rest of my life.

Well the Video - if authentic - definitely shows more than 1GB VRAM usage less during the same scenes with the same settings. Obfuscation techniques can increase RAM usage, but why the VRAM usage went up too i can’t really explain - except for bad implementation by Capcom, because it is NOT in their interest reducing video performance. System Ram i can understand, VRam can only be explained by the people who integrated Denuvo at Capcom.

Empress was a reason to buy games instead of pirating them lol

Many are better, but there are even worse outliers in the indie scene, for example Chucklefish, who fucked over everyone during development of Starbound.

Yeah, how bad Denuvo is performancewise definitely depends on the specific integration - there have been titles where Denuvo just tanks the performance because it checks a ton of values per second, and others where it really doesn’t matter - I would say Hogwarts Legacy falls in the second category, where checks have been intelligently stuffed into loading sequences and scene transitions. Capcom normally falls into the first category.

I misread that, but it seems i am not the only one :-) We can agree on Electron being a lazy way of providing a program - I’ll excuse it if it’s a small game from a single dev, but everyone else should do it the right way.

There is the question if the birthrates just dropped because the market now expects both people in a relationship to be working, making it impossible for the parents to care for their kids by reducing hours and childcare costs being more or close to what one person earns, especially in lower paying jobs. The effects on lifetime income for a mother are still devastating, and domestic work is still VERY undervalued. Fix this, and I am sure that birth rates will go up. But that would mean that our corporate overlords will make less.

Maybe if the population numbers in the US crash hard there will be a rethinking of priorities. The combination of xenophobia and economic pressure to keep working without having kids will take care of that in the next decade or two.

Always that reflex against Wayland - as someone who has switched to Linux not so long ago i have a hard time with the mindset long time Linux users have against Wayland. I understand that it might be annoying if someone is used to his X-Server and that some tools that people are used to for a decade will get left behind. But as a new user I do not have anything negative to say about Wayland. It behaves nicely with my multi-monitor setup and VRR, has no issues with my Nvidia graphics card, and Xwayland covers tools that can’t or won’t migrate. Using Pipewire allows Steam Remote Play. In the year or so since i switched to Linux, the stability has changed from “it’s ok, but annoys me sometimes” to “rock-solid”.

Y’all have to recognize that there is a new generation of Linux Users around, which does not have nostalgic feelings towards X, and for those Wayland is simply the normal way things run. Whining will not change that.

I fully agree, but there are so many people out there conflating the two terms. Sexual abuse of children (and women) often has no connection to pedophilia at all - it’s awful people getting off on the power imbalance.

After getting burned by the Dead Space Remake shader stutter i am very wary of UE games and check the reviews.
