I would like to second that. It’s genuinely painful for me as well.

theshatterstone54,

Modern games have been getting shittier, and with Denuvo claiming that many publishers don’t renew beyond that 6-month period, it really doesn’t change anything. The best period to buy (or pirate) a game seems to be 6 months to a year after release, when all the bugs that shouldn’t be there in a finished product have been fixed, and Denuvo is not there either (or the game has been cracked anyways), it seems to me that the best time to play a game for anyone involved, is 6 months to a year after release. Also, for paying customers, the game would have likely gone down in value significantly and you might be able to pick it up second-hand for a significant discount, while also ensuring you don’t support greedy publishers releasing half-baked, incomplete products. Problem solved.

None of the above applies to indie games, which I would feel more inclined to pay for, and genuinely find more fun nowadays.

But all of that is just my opinion on the matter.

theshatterstone54,

And also the Arch community isn’t as big as Debian, for example.

theshatterstone54,

How do you find Alpine? Was it as easy as Arch to set up post install? Do you have any complaints related to it, especially on the Wayland and tiling front?

theshatterstone54,

I wish you were right. Look at Bulgaria. A year of peaceful protest, and the ones who were supposed to save us from the corrupt government made a coalition with them and thus rehabilitated the mafia government. I hope that I get proven wrong, and Kennedy is correct, but only time will tell.

theshatterstone54,

Thank you for understanding basic statistics and data analysis (some people here do not). It’s all about the trends shown by the data, rather than the raw numbers.

theshatterstone54,

Nice to see another River user. It’s just so underappreciated. It is pne of the best options for a tiling Wayland compositor, alongside Sway for a manual, and Hyprland for a dynamic.

theshatterstone54,

Sorry to disappoint you but it does. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo if you check out the Browser section, it literally says DDG browser is using Blink, which is the Chromium engine.

theshatterstone54,

Yeah. It might put me on a watchlist or something but, I've went on the Dark Web. I've never purchased anything or went too deep into it, but the only things I found are:

some privacy services,

some crypto "cleaning" (whatever the phrase is) services,

some Tor mirrors of regular websites,

a Luke-Smith-esque (only taken even further to the extreme) privacy related blog,

a porn website (all of it legal, and it was all just indexed from clearnet porn sites, not even pirated, funnily enough)

And there seemed to be a lot of drug websites. When I say a lot, I mean a LOT. Like, all of the websites listed above (can we even call them websites if they're not on the worldwide web?) times 2 would be a lower number than the websites related to drugs that were listed on the various versions of the Hidden Wiki. And all of that by just using a page that acts as an indexer of the more popular pages. I didn't even use a dark web search engine. So, yeah. Who knows what else might be hiding there? Some guys on YouTube go on the dark web, like this guy, John Hammond, and find some fun stuff there, like ransomware gangs. That is to say there is more serious stuff on there, but I haven't looked for it.

theshatterstone54,

And this place isn't going away any time soon. Also, is it Dread or Dredd because I always thought it's the latter?

theshatterstone54,

Still accurate. Although something Techlore said in a recent video really stuck with me: everyone is praising Debian right now, because it's new. But in a year or so, maybe 2, Debian will still be where it is now, with the only exception being security updates. It isn't a viable desktop for your regular user that wants to play games or use the latest technology, for example.

theshatterstone54,

I don't think mbw is saying that Debian isn't great for servers. What they're saying is that what distro your server is running is becoming less and less important over time.

Any tips for creating memes using FOSS. I made this in Impress, then copy-pasted it into gimp, and it reduced the quality a lot. (i.ibb.co)

In PowerPoint, you can just select everything, then right-click -> save as image, and it saves whatever you have selected rather than the whole slide. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that in Impress, but I realised you could copy-paste into Gimp and that would copy the objects as an image, so I've been making memes that...

theshatterstone54,

Why not try Mint, then?

theshatterstone54,

Honestly, about 4 months, and it was Arch. I've been using Linux for over a year now. Currently I'm on NixOS trying to make things work the way I want them to, but there's still some minor issues that are difficult to deal with.

theshatterstone54,

I used Infinity but now I don't even use Reddit at all.

theshatterstone54,

I also have the typing bug, so it's not specific to you. In fact, it happened now, while writing this comment.

theshatterstone54,

As others have said, it's a mixture of being very early in development, wild differences in underlying system components, lack of funding and lack of support from manufacturers. If a large corporation wirh ties to amartphone manufacturers stood behind mobile Linux and threw enough money at the problem, it could become as good as, if not better than Android in a few years time. Not that it would happen, I'm just saying.

What's your opinion about Manjaro? (lemmy.world)

I've seen a lot of people who quite dislike Manjaro, and I'm not really sure why. I'm myself am not a Manjaro user, but I did use it for quite a while and enjoyed my experienced, as it felt almost ready out of the box. I'm not here to judge, just wanted to hear the opinion of the community on the matter. Thanks!

theshatterstone54,

It does, it just has an extra repo that contains some more packages. IIRC, most of these packages, both on EndeavourOS and ArcoLinux, are packages compiled from the AUR to make it easier to install them (Although ArcoLinux has some of its own packages as well).

theshatterstone54,

That's really good! 2 questions: What were your compile times like for AwesomeWM, and what terminal emulator are you using that can diplay pictures in it?

theshatterstone54,

That's what I was thinking. I'm using kitty myself, I was just wondering whether or not there are any other terminal emulators that support it

theshatterstone54,

While cool, nearly the same thing can be done with NixOS, skipping the compilation times.

theshatterstone54,

If you're concerned about package availability, you can check here: https://voidlinux.org/packages/ to see if all the packages you need are supported.

theshatterstone54,

Nice and minimal, yet modern, and not bloated. It's great!
