The more time you spend glued to your screen the less you notice slow changes. I assume this is part of why user retention is so important…

An extension of uBlock Origin. It does the same thing but also clicks on every ad before it removes it.

My dad has been talking about wanting something like AdNauseam for years, i was very happy when i found it. The extra mile would probably be to expand it with a VPN and constantly spam clicks, clear cache, switch IP and obfuscate data. Now we just wait for someone with enough time to build it…

Happy I got AdNauseam after uBlock Origin. Deleted my facebook a year ago, shit is an AI slopfest built upon the greed and manipulation of every part of the chain. Defcon 31 has a good talk that brings this up. “Disenshittify or die” by Cory Doctrow, cann recommend to watch.

Idle games

Big thanks for the Photoshop repo! Works perfectly, I didn’t think Ps on Linux was really possible but it seems we are living in the future!

Thanks for recommending Vesktop! It works better than my previous alternative. Still doesn’t seem to be able to really do 60fps streams though…

I do use Krita aswell, works way better with my tablet.

Got a new M.2 drive and installed Linux on it, still run windows on my old disk (no dual boot, only go to bios when I need windows).

Experience has been amazing so far, biggest issues for me are the following

1. Had to get used to Gimp instead of my very legally acquired version of Photoshop
2. Discord screen share does not have audio and is laggy as hell (an alternative discord-screenshare application exists but gives my voice a 1-2 second delay which upsets my gf when we’re in voice, although it can stream entire desktop with audio which is amazing for watching shows together)
3. Some games with anti-cheat don’t work, so if I want to play those I still have to jump on windows.
4. No HDR (but it looks to be coming to KDE and Cosmic soon)

Apart from this the experience has been amazing. I’m using Nobara and mostly gaming. As a dev terminal, scripts and ssh to my raspberry pi:s is just such a seamless and nice experience.

I think this is the best outcome that could currently happen. If they got a ruling it’s very possible that Nintendo would win. That would probably cascade through the entire emulation scene and bring down countless other projects.

Edit: just realized they had to take everything down aswell, that very much sucks.

As someone who helped friends/family build PC gaming rigs multiple times last year (2023) I understand what you’re coming from W11 installer is pure dogshit.

Tbh tho, my dad always hated new Windows versions because he didn’t want to learn a new UI/UX, which I fine, but the windows experience isnt that hard to learn, even if it is different. Same thing with Linux, if you use GNOME/KDE/i3/hyprland/sway/<insert any DE/WM here> for the first time it won’t be easy to find all of the settings either.

But the W11 installer in particular sucks ass. There is so many restrictions that try to prevent you from even installing it. The one rescue for me was downloading the Rufus USB ISO tool and letting it download the W11 installer itself and apply patches which removed all the ridiculous restrictions.

I mean, you can even rub that shit in Virtual box if you want. My GF is literally running it on “unsupported hardware” according to Microsoft but windows updates and everything post-install is completely functional.

Only reason Mictorsoft Philips wants the restrictions is to have a tighter grip on the ecosystem and limit end consumers from installing it themselves and pushing that part to other companies or retailers which they can buy finished products (laptops etc) from instead of licenses.

As a new programmer who actively treads carefully in date-data-dabbling territories it is amusing to see how shit commercially available code is, especially in the e-commerce world.

I started my first programming job 2 years ago working with building Magento 2 sites. I already knew Magento was a horrible mess to begin with, but I took whatever I could get. After witnessing the publishers, developers and code of 99% of the plugins available (which is btw quality certified on Adobes marketplace) I can safely say that there is so much shit code squirted out every second be self-taught developers working in shitty small companies with CEOs trying to earn a quick buck.

It is actually insane how bad the code was, I can not with words describe how bad it was. Every time I felt impostor syndrome i would just open up vendor and look at a random plugin to confirm that I am at least not a Magento plugin developer.

If you’re running Magento, change, preferably 10 years ago, but change.

Fuck the jeans, why him ball so big

Update on this, devs have “kinda” found a fix but need to do large scale testing. They have said that they will release a separate beta branch on steam to opt-in to if you want to try the fixed fps issues.

You know, I think this is one of those “some people just want to get scammed” moments.

Typical Nintendo move. So sad to see Yuzu possibly going down this way. Even looks like Nintendo might win this one. I’m just gonna download the entire source from GitHub just in case.

I wish this would just go full hydra mode if it goes down though. Start popping up new anonymous accounts releasing the source code everywhere.

I played Minecraft with my gf before but she didn’t really enjoy it. The only game I’ve seen her play a lot of is Civ 6.

This time on Minecraft I started a server with some friends and she’s having a blast. She made a cute little house and she has built a “girl-cave” where she and her friend shares cake. It’s so wholesome.

In case you she’s new you could probably play a LAN world on peaceful. That’s what I did back when I started.

Big this.

I am still interested in the mentioned tech, programming ad linux communities but the biggest issue is definitely smaller communities lacking in numbers. But I see more and more users and conversations on here over time. It has definitely increased since I joined. Hopefully we’ll see the smaller communities grow as well.

I’m 100% sure I’ve seen video game AI drive better than at least 40% of people on the roads, no way they’re not NPCs
