The past few years have been an absolute whirlwind for me.

Some of the stuff on that list is probably there because of review bombing. Torchlight III is worse than II, but it's definitely not one of the worst games on Steam.
Disable Search Indexing in options. It uses a buggy piece of garbage called Akonadi in the background and was causing one core of my CPU to stay at 100% for no reason.
Hmm. Maybe it's all a coincidence. When one of my CPU cores was stuck at 100%, I opened htop and configured it to show kernel threads too. I spotted MariaDB running in the background. I thought "I don't remember installing MariaDB". Went to uninstall it with pacman, which said it's a dependency of Akonadi. After googling, I turned off Search Indexing and CPU usage dropped to zero. I'll keep an eye on it to see if the problem comes back.
As of Linux kernel 6.2, any distro should theoretically be able to support M1 and M2. The problem is, most distros will probably have a slightly older kernel upon initial install. I'm personally going to wait for an Arch-based distribution that supports Mac.
PS5 Pro is expected late 2024, with the PS6 expected 2028. If Microsoft is to try to keep pace, as someone who doesn't have either console, it will be interesting to see if they also brand this as a mid-generation refresh or if they stick to their guns they've been touting for a while of being "beyond generations".
A reason I might buy a console used is because certain titles, like Nier Automata, were poorly ported to PC. I love that game, but the Steam version crashed a lot for me.
Without that fan patch, I wasn't able to play at all. But further into the game, it started crashing every 10 - 20 minutes. Think the particular Radeon card I had at the time was poor compatibility. nVidia users might have had more luck.
Destroyed apartments, burnt-out cars, lives upturned or extinguished altogether: Russia’s June 13 missile attack on the city of Kryvyi Rih was, in many ways, nothing out of the ordinary for wartime Ukraine.

I was an EVGA customer for many years. I'm looking to buy a new GPU soon to replace my 2080Ti. What brands would you consider when making a new GPU purchase and why?
My Radeon 290X gave me a lot of Linux problems before it died. Like freezing a while after resuming from sleep. Hate to admit the GTX 1660 Ti hasn't given me any problems on Linux.
That's good to hear. For the longest time I suspected my Ryzen 3 CPU was causing the freezes. But no, it was the Radeon's dynamic power management that I had to disable with GRUB to fix it.
In the latter case, I think it might be feasible to prevent upvotes from being counted multiple times if the username is identical on different instances, since upvotes are public. Is there already a mechanism to do this?...
Honestly, I'd be happy in a world without visible "Like" and "Dislike" counts. People with differing opinions always end up being punished by the current systems, encouraging group-think.
Depending on the board, for example, if I said I like using an Apple computer, I would get downvoted to oblivion by zealots. I mean, just because people don't like my preference doesn't mean what I said is invalid. Also, I use Mac, Windows & Linux depending on the task. Fanboys can't understand that.
There is a certain critical black mass of condensed human thoughts that, if reached, results in an intellectual entanglement possessing psychogravitational properties: capturing all nearby thoughts and transforming them to reinforce the averaged opinions of the mass, all while allowing each respective thinker to maintain the...
My family loved decorating the house right before Christmas. It was our tradition and we all were very excited about it. We had a lot of brilliant lights, smiling snowmen and even a huge Santa, that we’d bought over the years. I was glad this year my parents let me and my brother decorate it all by ourselves. I had no doubt we...

How does the fediverse handle upvotes on different instances? Does each instance have its own count or are upvotes summed up across multiple instances if the upvotes system (upvotes/boosts/likes) is similar enough?
