If I would not have DX11 & DX12 games, I would only use #linuxmint desktop on my PC, and left Windows 11 behind. Approximately Steam library one fifth runs on #linux as well. Soon it will be better n better as having alternates: Vulkan, OpenGL. This is the only disadvantage remains for me. Every app has alternate or web PWA or whatever solution.
@75watt@iamdtms@gamingonlinux yeah with proton most games run. Only ones that have trouble are online games with invasive anti-cheat, and they are actively working on solving that issue.
Apple has come under fire because its iPad Pro “Crush” ad depicts the destruction of items used by artists. Now folks are saying it's unoriginal too. X user Andy Allen pointed out that it bears a striking resemblance to a 2008 commercial for LG's Renoir KC910. Here's more from @9to5Mac.
@CultureDesk@9to5Mac meh the ad wasn't that bad. But pretty funny that it's been done before. Apple is starting to lose their edge in marketing and has been for a while.
Jumped through the hoops to get #Steam family sharing set up so I can share games with my husband (and someday the kids). Looking like I will soon be seeing if I can get Death Stranding working on #Ubuntu. 🤔😁
Welp, guess I should get out of bed. I have to walk down to the auto parts store to get a rear wheel bearing & hub assembly for my car. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to install. Removing the old one took several hours though. I wish manufacturers would put a little grease on mating surfaces where rust occurs over time. And stupid auto parts stores these days have far too many choices of parts. I don't know which is good & which isn't. I'd go to the dealership but it's too far to walk.
@noellemitchell in this instance it is because different mastodon instances are fetching the page description for the link and likely not real people visiting
I have an ask for my technologically adept fedi friends. I am trying to set up a local development environment on my computer. the catch is that I'm #blind and sort of a newbie at this. I got all excited when I heard about XAMPP only to find out it is a giant pile of shit for accessibility. I even tried WAMP only for it to tel me I needed some other things, which I didn't quite understand and haven't had a chance to investigate. I am getting frustrated and would like some advice. Do I really need the kind of local environment that wamp would provide? I will probably need sql and php, but if that's all I need how do I set this up? I've never worked with php before and only recently taken a tutorial on sql. Any help would be great. #blind#developer#webdev#accessibility#sql#php
