I mostly play PS3 games on RPCS3. Very few newer games are my taste.

That's why HDMI needs to die and display port needs to take over. The TV industry is too big for that to happen of course. They make a shit ton of money off of HDMI

Hi all, Just wanted to update y’all about the move. Windows worked with zero issues, it just rebooted a couple of time and then took over the boot menu, and I couldn’t get to grub. Basically windows told grub to kick rocks and put itself at the top of the boot sequence. No big deal and fixed it real quick.

Grub did get messed up, it wasn’t there. A chroot from a live environment, and a couple of commands fixed it.

All good and running now. :) Thank you so much to all who replied and helped. Y’all are amazing <3

Hi all, I just bought a new motherboard and I’ll be buying a new CPU, too. The current one is a gigabyte 520i AC AM4 with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G on it currently. The new one is also gigabyte 550M AM4 and the new processor is Ryzen 7 5800xt. I currently dual boot Cachy OS and windows 11. Each has their own boot partition and I use grub. I’m going to bring everything over from the old mobo except the cpu that will stay on it since it’s going into another pc. Meaning, I’m bringing my SSDs and all that. Will I need to reinstall (please say no lol)? Will it be just plug and play or will I need to fiddle with a live environment to chroot?
Please let me know if you need more info. Thank you in advance.

I'm so glad he went with BazziteOS over a regular distro. Even though, I love CachyOS, but in this case we need to have more new users and we don't want them to deal with any potential issues.

If I had an open source program that is being used by fuckers like Google, who can afford to pay but don't, and then come in and demand shit. I'd just ignore them and pretend they don't exist and continue with my life. Let them bark until they're blue in the face. But first I'd put this as the first line in the README.md “if you're a big corporation and need help, come with money. Otherwise, please don't bother me”.

Yattee is a free and open source invidious/piped client for iOS and iPadOS. It’s great for those who want to watch YouTube without the ads garbage. It also supports sponsorblock. It’s a bit buggy, but it still works fine.

I’ve spun up a Debian server a couple of days ago and hosted my own invidious instance. It’s been great so far.

Just a little note, the app looks like it’s struggling with funding/contributions from what I saw on the GitHub and Patreon pages. So if you can code in swift and feel like helping the dev, I don’t think he’ll mind :)

I know, stupid AF that I can’t get it to work. For the life of me, I’m not able to play the game on the pc. Of course I can just play in the browser, but I wanted to install it on my Linux machine and fire it up whenever I wanted to. I haven’t tried for a while, but I remember trying a couple of months earlier and there was an app that installed and launched but my controller wouldn’t work with it. I know about super tux, but I wanted Mario. There is only snapcraft app to install called mari0, but I don’t use snaps. Could someone please help me get it installed without going through the whole retro arch thing? Thank you

And excellent, because being linux, drawing attention to issues increases the chances of them getting fixed, whereas that is hardly the case for Windows.

This is the most important part of this whole thing to me. Imagine Nvidia watching Steve shitting on them for having horrible drivers on Linux and millions of people seeing that.

[-] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 155 points 2 months ago

This is great. Honest people like Steve and Wendell are great for Linux. Let's make sure, as a community, we don't give them a hard time about their distro of choice. I think bazzite is an excellent choice to start until they get comfortable digging deeper into the system.

Genshin style in a sideview (if that is what it is called). Pretty fun game so far

Chapter 75 of the uncut version did it for me. It has messed with my emotions.
After all the horror, death, and chaos, it wasn’t the monsters or the battles that broke me. It was a little Christmas tree in the snow. It was Tom Cullen, holding presents wrapped in wedding paper, singing "The First Noel" off-key (I even searched the song on YouTube and listened to it while reading, and man, it hit), and Stu just quietly watching him with love.

No civilization. No gifts that cost money. No fancy tree. Just love, survival, and the echo of something human and sacred in a broken world.

No explosions. No evil. Just two broken people, surviving, caring for each other, and finding meaning in the smallest, most human things. Stephen King didn’t end the book with a "bang". He ended it with kindness. We all need that, especially nowadays.
I wasn’t ready for how emotional that final stretch would be. M-O-O-N, that spells tears, laws, yes. (My daughter is on the spectrum, and I was attached to this character the whole time ).

This was one of the harder books I’ve read (English is my second language). I’m thankful for technology, the press&hold dictionary feature is a godsend. Without it, getting through this would’ve been a lot harder. I also leaned on ChatGPT to explain all the “American” phrases, compound slang, cultural stuff, and King-exclusive American-English I didn’t understand (y'all certainly know what I am talking about, right?).
Such a great journey this has been. If you haven’t read The Stand yet, don’t miss out.

Hi all. This is probably silly, but how in the world do you change this circled image? Right-clicking on the whole thing then clicking "manage" can only set the one already there, not this empty one.

EDIT: I have failed to mention that this game isn't a steam game, it is a "non-steam game" that I added to steam.

EDIT2: Just found out that hovering over the game and keeping the cursor on it makes it go through a series of pictures, which leads me to believe that that is an "album" of several pictures for each game that gets downloaded with each game.

I'm a long time Linux user, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Linus is a dick. He insults people all the time, and people have normalized it. He's a fucking genius, but not a nice person. What's wrong with just saying "hey, your code has so and so issues. Please fix and resubmit"???

I dual boot with win 11, I do so for programming purposes, not gaming. I read online that the game straight up blocks Linux on all fronts (typical EA). So, I booted into win 11 and launched the beta. It still refused to start and complained that secure boot was "disabled". Booted into BIOS and it was enabled, but not active. I had to reset the keys to the windows default keys to be able to play this game. This is a no go for me. Not giving them my money until they stop this bullshit. Just wanted to let everyone know the situation so far.

[-] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

And not even a fucking "don't show again" option. Either "call" or "remind me later". So there is no escape. Either take the ad in the ass or it'll show up again. Fuck that

I've taken a break from nonfiction for a while (finished lotr and read a whole bunch of Stephen king). Now I want to go back to reading nonfiction, but I want something that will pull me in another world of facts I didn't know about. Be it political, sociology.... anything really. I don't know if "facts" is the word I'm looking for here (English is my second language). Can I say "discoveries"? Things you've found through the book that shocked you? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance

Edit: Thank you all for the great suggestions. I've saved this post and will go through the list. Much, much appreciated 🫶🏽

I smell something fishy going on. I've been using the AUR for a long time and I'm now just hearing of malware?

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but here it is.

Also Edit: this giveaway comes with several packs/DLCs and it's a platinum edition.

Nope, not a sell out. Just a person using the tools at hand. You can't just live in the past. You did it without Google back then because there was no Google and you had to use what you had to use. Now you use Google, because again, you have to use what you have to use. In the end, I personally only care about the outcome.

I just chose to use tools to make my life easier

If you don't then I'd call you stupid. Keep doing that, friend. That's the best way actually. You want your life easier so you can put out great work.

[-] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 41 points 5 months ago

They did it before the Internet was even a thing, my friend.

apt is a newer, more user-friendly front-end for apt-get and apt-cache.

apt = combines commands like install, remove, update, upgrade into one tool, with prettier output

#apt-get = older, lower-level, more script-friendly For normal use, just use apt now. For scripting where 100% backward compatibility matters, use apt-get.
