Rarely entirely serious. Fond of otters and dogs, scarily obsessive about music and old videogames. Boosts absolutely are endorsements; it's why I boosted them. He/him.

I’m not sure that “person likes and admires the person they chose to marry” is all that much of a headline to be honest, but fine, whatever.

This is important. Musicians are on the bones of their collective arses, and the creation of new music is rapidly becoming the preserve of a few mega-artists and those with other incomes who can afford to do it as a hobby.

@TheMetalDog The metaphor may be stretched to breaking point, but what old Brucey is saying there makes a lot of sense!

Idea for a TV show: “Is it gak?” in which minor celebrities snort a variety of white powders, and try to determine which one is the Bolivian marching dust.

One of my hard drives reported a dead sector. After 10 years, it's time to replace it.

Zen Internet seems to have chosen today (of all days) for its network to have a little lie down? Any other #ZenInternet users out there having issues?

hedders,
@hedders@mas.to avatar

@falken I haven’t, because they’re unreachable for me. I have spoken to their support who have confirmed serious network issues nationwide. Not everyone is affected though. For me it manifests as some sites being inaccessible, but others working fine.

Advice needed from PC gamers who run Linux, please!

I’m thinking seriously about ditching Windows on my main PC. The only reason I haven’t done so years ago is gaming. I have a massive library on Steam and I really don’t want to kiss that goodbye.

I understand Linux gaming has got wildly better in recent years. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good primer on the subject? Debian or Debian-like focused preferably, as that’s what I’m most comfortable with.

@hedders@mas.to avatar

@sam thanks! Don’t suppose you’re aware of a good primer on Proton, by any chance? I know it exists, but that’s about it.

hedders,
@hedders@mas.to avatar

@sleepybisexual thanks. I’m pretty familiar with Linux Mint and have used it in other contexts, and it’s a strong contender. I guess what I’m looking for is guidance on getting games, especially Steam games, working. I’ve heard of Proton, but never used it. Is it hard to set up?

hedders,
@hedders@mas.to avatar

@sam Ah! That looks invaluable. Thank you!

hedders,
@hedders@mas.to avatar

@etchedpixels thank you! It’s entirely possible I’m over complicating it. I’ve never heard of Heroic Launcher and will def check it out.

I don’t play online games at all really, so hopefully the anti-cheat stuff won’t be a problem for me.

@hedders@mas.to avatar

@stfn thank you! I’d assumed it would be complicated. Perhaps not …

Bands Who Either Don't Have a Bassist or Don't Have a Guitarist
Not every band needs a guitarist or a bassist. These rock and metal band's certainly don't.

Given the antics of the likes of that Wragg twit, I wonder if we might be better served by banning the sale of smartphones to Tory MPs.

@mansr the latest polling suggests that a sizeable proportion of the country shares that view.

Here’s Bobdog, aka Dogbert. He’s a former Hungarian street dog. He’s a bit smelly, tends to bark at things like empty plastic bags or trees where he once saw a squirrel two years ago, and every so often he vanishes into the next county in pursuit of deer, but he’s very fluffy and soft, incredibly friendly and affectionate, can detect cheese at 500 paces, and will do anything for pizza.

@eclectech He does basically communicate by booping. Wants attention? Boop. Wants a pee? Boop. REALLY wants a pee? Boop boop BOOP. Little Timmy fallen down the well? Boop. The universe is a hologram, reality is an illusion, buy gold? Boop.

So much Pratchett love today ❤️

And there's so much to delight in the Discworld, but it is raining outside & when I am out in the rain I always think of Granny Weatherwax, refusing to hunch up & just moving through it.

I've never managed to avoid getting drenched without aid. Indeed, when dashing out to the bins in a downpour I will wear the umbrella hat we mysteriously own & deep down I think she would approve of the pragmatism of the decision.

#GNUTerryPratchett #sillyScribbles #rain

A wooden platform by a pond surrounded by green reeds. There are raindrops falling in the pond water. On the platform stands a simple figure in a long black dress, holding a broomstick and wearing a brightly coloured umbrella hat. There are some bees dotting about and sheltering under the hat with her.
