He's starting to lose his (orange) glow it seems.

Due to budget cuts the heat shield for re-entry was cut. Thanks to these budget cuts we gave everybody in the lower echelons of your company a big fat bonus.

We hope you have a pleasant stay in space.

Look there's a concept of a plan alright!?

A tech billionaire responsible for creating the laws his own companies run under? What could go wrong.

I looked into that at one point, but 15$/month is quite steep just for that ( imo )

What could go wrong when you let an ad company dictate the browser standards/rules.

I know we have Firefox and some forks like librewolf, but percentage wise it feels like a lost battle ( even if I am on Firefox ).

If only people switched en masse to Firefox for the ad blocker. Wouldn't that be something... One big collective FU to Google.

Oh well. One can dream I guess.

Is anybody here playing cs2? The game runs natively on Linux, but its more laggy than it was on windows for me. If i run cs2 in proton it works better than natively on Linux, but I'm unable to play competitive that way.

My issue is the following: the game just hangs/freezes occasionally. The duration is random. Could be 3-5 seconds, could be 10. Could be that I'd have to restart the game.

This occurs sometimes in the warm up before a match or when the bomb explodes.

It happens most consistently when i press the escape button in-game.

I'm running it on nobara/KDE. I've got the latest graphics drivers, tried validating the game files.

The game is set to run full screen ( as windowed fullscreen caps the framerate to 60, while the screen supports 144 ).

I can add more hardware info if required. The PC is 4 years old so its not ancient, but also not latest and greatest ( amd CPU+nvidia rtx 2080ti ).

Anybody else ran into this behaviour and ( hopefully) found a solution for it? Googling only left me with sites telling me to upgrade my gfx drivers on windows or 6 year old threads of CS:GO on windows.

Switching between wayland and x11 didn't really seem to make a lot of difference. It feels a little bit better on x11, but negligible.

There isnt really anything running on the backgroudn except discord.

Thanks!

How the US does not read this as: "I was bribed by the CEO of < company > to enact policies that benefit them" is beyond me.

Be better America.

Hello fellow Linux gamers!

I've recently switched to nobara for gaming. I've had no real issues so far and it's all running smoothly! Queue my Xbox controller.

A year or two ago I bought an Xbox wireless control ( 2020 version according to the order ). Now I wanted to use the controller, but it is not being detected. The light keeps blinking. On nobara itself it looks like it mounted the dongle as a USB Stick.

That would explain why the controller isn't connecting.

How would I best go at tackling this? Any tips? I've already ran the following command:

nobara-controller-config

This installed some drivers and required a reboot ( which I did ).

Thanks in advance for any guidance or tips!

Lets get one thing straight.

This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.

I've had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.

So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.

It enticed me to start gaming on Linux. So its definitely doing some enticing

Legitimate interest is just bullshit.

Can I have your:

  • wallet
  • emails received
  • telephone number
  • pin code
  • visa card numbers
  • browser history
  • home address
  • dates you won't be home
  • alarm code

I too am legitimately interested in this data.

Can we boycot the companies that do this already. I get the AC IP is nice, I've certainly enjoyed my fair share of their games.

But the ad industry is completely getting derailed. What's next ? Watch a 15s promo video every time you want to open te fridge? Watch a promo video before you can open the door?

Have your walls randomly show you ads?

Stop buying their shit. Regardless of how decent the game is. Punish them for the predatory practices. Demand refunds.

But no. People will likely be outraged, and then next game angry and then the next game they'll suck it all up and complain about the good all days.
