I’m sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I’m sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense.

I was recently thinking about buying a Switch since I wanted to play a couple Nintendo games, but after this most recent bit of bullshit they're pulling, in conjunction to all their other bullying, im not buying another Nintendo product again. Why would I support this shit company.
I have 2 drives in my machine. Linux right now is installed on 1/4 of the first drive and I am going to start moving parts of my 2nd drive, which is just games on Windows, to a 1/2 combo of NTFS and BTRFS. Essentially giving Linux more space as it replaces Windows as my gaming daily driver. With the eventual plan to move that...
I forced myself to go back a little to Reddit recently. Because while I endorse and love the existence of the Fediverse, I can't in good conscience, tolerate the instability of it. Any other time I go somewhere, I'm met with a page that says KBin is working on resolving issues, then I go somewhere else and it's fine....
I’ve just upgraded to Plasma 6 on EndeavourOS and X11 works, but booting on Wayland via SDDM gives me a blank screen. The display enters power saving mode and switching to a TTY doesn’t wake it up....
Same thing happened to me when I tried it, though I just assumed it was becuase I didn't actually have Wayland installed, are you sure you do if you've been using X11?
I regret installing it. Broke all the widgets I had since none of them are qt6 I guess. Plus some odd glitches. I should have just left well enough alone.
I guess I'm the only one that's stopped using a third party launcher.. After getting an S23 and being on One UI 6 I'm finding I'm not hating the stock launcher anymore. I was using Nova forever.
Scooter had the last of his teeth (besides the canines) pulled today. Poor little guy has stomatitis which means he’s allergic to his own tooth enamel.

Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew...
I'm in my 30s and with constant stress of life, I have no interest in really doing much of anything besides sitting on my couch playing video games and forgeting everything in my down time.
I used to go out and party every weekend and during the week, but that was my early 20s.

Hi all My kid will get a gaming pc soon. I can’t swallow the cost of a whole setup at the moment. I’m thinking of getting a good motherboard with a decent second hand graphics card (a colleague I trust can find me one). And over time upgrade where needed. For monitor I would be using my TV....
I used a TV for years. Didn't bother me at all and I gamed on it. Also tvs have built in speakers where as as far as I'm aware computer monitors don't. I suppose not all tvs are the same though so ymmv.

Having had to learn about ketoacidosis for my schooling, I was always confused how this keto diet was a good idea.. ketones = bad is what I was told. I'm assuming you're not going to the point of ketoacidosis, but having your body create ketones still doesn't sound like something I'd want.
1+ for Linux desktop and Steamdeck. I don’t touch my PC much anymore since getting my Steam Deck, I have no desire to sit at a desk. There's just some financial stuff I have to do on the desktop, but rarely.
Otherwise it's all mobile. I'd love to get a Linux phone, but as far as I'm aware they won't run the apps I need/want so I'm still using Android.

I honestly didn't even know you could. With just over 100 games I've never felt the need to though, I can wade through them pretty easily and remember what I have.
I did this; got my husband's kid a low end android phone on "pay as you go" since I knew he would either lose it or have it smashed within a few months. Was right on both accounts.
