I use Linux Mint, so no Wayland, but Sunshine/Moonlight works on both X11 and Wayland, generally speaking.

In that price range the best you can get is probably something with a Ryzen 5500U. If you were to go up to ~350 then you could get a significantly faster 5800H

Hm, sounds like you got unlucky and the display cable died on you

Question about whether I should switch systems for Cyberpunk genre game?

I am currently in a group playing Cyberpunk: RED and, while I am enjoying the GM’s play style and plot, I feel like we’re not utilizing the system to its full extent. Particularly, we have dropped initiative, the XP system, and the very, very detailed way it handles “damage to body parts.” What might be a good system to...

Just dropping by to recommend Sprawlrunners. It has everything you need for Shadowrun in SWADE, but you can toss the fantasy elements/races and you’ll have Cyberpunk for SWADE, no problemo.

My group switched from Shadowrun 2e to Sprawlrunners and it was so damn fun

Sure, yeah, there’s other ways. I was just thinking in terms of “casting from the web browser”

Agreed. This year’s spike is due to the banning of sulfur-based emissions from shipping vessels in the pacific. Sulfur emissions only last about 2 weeks in the atmosphere before being rained out, but they contribute significantly to the aerosol cooling effect.

Right, you just said the same thing as me but with more detail. Your earlier comment said Chromebooks are essentially tablets. I was saying they’re not like tablets because they have a more traditional desktop/window management paradigm.

Be which way? I honestly don’t know what you mean. I just said why I still have the ideals/preferences that I do despite the problems you pointed out with an ancient cliché.

Y’know, just having different preferences, like I said.

Southeastern PA. I have 1000 down/1000 up fiber to the home for $90 a month. Seeing people get these speeds for under $20 makes me both envious, hopeful that things can be improved, and depressed at the state of the regional monopolies here in the US.

Here’s hoping we can make municipal fiber viable going forward.

It’s my industry too.

I wasn’t asking if right-wingers love crypto, but about what you were arguing about the FOSS community having “their platforms … getting cracked down on and [their having] adopted cryptocurrency”, which sounds an awful lot like a specific claim or two.

I literally still have no idea which events you’re referring to, unless you’re just saying “but crypto exists”. I mean, we’re on a FOSS platform right now.

Nice strawman, though. Honestly pretty ironic that you’re implicitly accusing me of arguing in bad faith when you’ve misrepresented my question so entirely.

I asked you to establish the truth value of your claims about the FOSS community 1) adopting crypto and 2) being cracked down on. That’s not sealioning. I genuinely had no idea what you were talking about and I’m in the FOSS community.

Even with this correction I think you’re maybe referring to RedHat being shitty with regards to going corporate, which is a bit silly since they’ve always been the corporate-friendly for-profit Linux company. I mean it is worse than it had been but it’s hardly indicative of a trend across the entire community.

I honestly still have no idea what you’re alluding to WRT the FOSS community adopting crypto, though. Blockchain stuff I get, it was a trendy technology and IPFS is neat and all, but I’ve seen no trend towards cryptocurrency in the general FOSS community. Like what, did Apache mint some NFTs? Tell me what you’re alluding to so I can Google it, even, if you’re too lazy to send me a link.

Your strawman (from my perspective) was the reframing of my request as needing proof that “right-wingers love crypto projects” which was not what I was asking about at all. You decided that I was sealioning because I called bullshit on your claims about trends in the FOSS community, from my perspective. That seemed to me an awful lot like misrepresenting my argument in order to dismiss it out of hand, so, y’know, a strawman.

It is possible. My childhood wasn’t without trauma, but I’ve never had PTSD. My parents taught me to question rules and edicts from on-high. When I would do so with my parents, they were almost always able to articulate reasons why we did things one way and not another. When I did so with friends’ parents, some teachers, and most other adults, I got abusive bullshit spewed at me till I submitted to their defacto authority.

My parents were safe, but authority figures in general could not and should not be trusted.

Is the phone the best information king during a zombie apocalypse

If it's a zombie apocalypse, then I would assume the grid is down. Critics would say that the battery and the durability is a problem, but I don't think it's a problem in this time and age. So is the phone really the best source of knowledge during a zombie apocalypse?

Ideally you’d want an android tablet with an e-ink screen and expandable microSD storage loaded up with textbooks.

Something like this

Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS. IMO it’s fine for gaming since you can use Liquorix or an Ubuntu OEM kernel plus the kisak-mesa PPA to keep more up-to-date, but seeing as how OP wants to be close-ish to the latest and greatest, only upgrading wvery 2 years is probably too slow for them.

Mint is based off of Ubuntu LTS, which in turn is based off Debian. Likewise LMDE is based directly of Debian.

Both are probably too slow to update for OP.

I say this as someone whose main rig runs Mint 21.2 with a 6.1 OEM kernel and kisak-mesa drivers

Too late, we all are. Lovecraft was wrong, it’s not fish people, but plastic people we have to worry about

Italy investigates Placebo singer for calling far-right PM ‘racist’ and ‘fascist’ (www.theguardian.com)

Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

voyager.app is the more updated version, just FYI

Looking for anime suggestions that don't use super deformed art style

Hey guys, So I know I’m being a little picky here but I’m looking for suggestions. I wanna watch some more shows that don’t, or barely use (looking at you Berserk with Puck), super deformed art style. Most often I see it used in animes of heavier stories that want a way to break the tension. It works, but I hate it. Demon...

@entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I’ve watched maybe 3 episodes of it? I was put off by the first episode, the art style change, and the setting change.

Will have to give it another chance

I first dual-booted Linux back in 2008 because I’m a musician and at the time I was a broke highschooler trying to use Ubuntu Studio to record and mix songs without dropping $500 on a Pro Tools license. After that I’d generally always have a dual boot system because I like using Linux for its flexibility.

Back in December I switched to 100% Linux Mint on my main gaming PC because my Windows 10 install was starting to die in all kinds of ways and I was gonna have to reinstall, so I just formatted the partition and went all Linux.

I also self-host a bunch of little servers for various stuff on like 5 different little single-board-computers (Pi 4, M1 Mac Mini, etc), and they all run various flavors of Linux, mostly Debian and Ubuntu but also Asahi on the Mac.

In general I find it waaaay easier to maintain, update, repair, and modify. Package managers should be available for every OS by default, not as an ugly hack like on Windows or MacOS.

Mostly battery drain has less to do with your distro so much as your CPU governor settings and other power management settings, at least IMO
