Cheers - guess there will a 60fps patch for emu soon

Sad but unsurprising to see a bona fide member of the working class downvoted for pointing out that some of the popular rhetoric is pointlessly divisive and does nothing to help the working class.

Many of todays activists seem to be doing anything but actually helping the various communities they are oh so eager to bully people on behalf of.

I absolutely fail to see the utility of having a user called Bob and bob, or a dir called Downloads and downloads. Capitalisation makes sense in code - at a glance I can know I’m looking at a Class or a var, but for system administration it has only ever wasted time, and not once made anything easier.

Obligatory FUTO keyboard recommendation. I liked Swiftkey - but not enough to defend the idea of an online keyboard.

Lol thanks for saving me a click

Paywall. I tried archive.org but maybe I don’t know how to make it work

Okay this was great - thanks OP

I can see the use case, and that some people might find this useful (not to mention many agencies and ad companies). But enough was enough, for me at least. Linux Mint rocks. Can’t see myself going back to Windows.

After seeing this thread, and the Linux wallpaper engine repo, I think I’m gonna boot into Windows and record wallpapers I like as videos, then set them as backgrounds in linux. I’m gonna be on x11 until cinnamon updates to waylan

Recall

I wonder what the source of the RTS conventions was. Ctrl num for making groups. Double press to centre on group. X for scattering units. A to stop them. Pretty sure these predate C&C but the only one before that I can think of is dune.

Not exactly advanced, but I missed the super+P shortcut when switching from desk and monitor to sofa and TV. Made a couple of one line shell scripts that call Xrandr then bound them to keyboard shortcuts.

He was part of giant bomb - video game podcast, videos and website. He became the “blinking white guy” meme.

Seems like a cool guy - super chill and constantly curious.

It will never stop being weird seeing Drew in memes

I just finished doing this a few minutes ago and I had better luck. I left my drives plugged in. Booted to mint USB. Made sure I knew which drive was the empty one using the Disks app. Ran the installer and chose the option to erase disk instead of alongside. Set my BIOS to boot from new disk, and grub let’s me choose between windows and Linux.

My laptop on the other hand, was not a good time. It shipped using the raid controller, so mint couldn’t see the second drive. And windows freaked out at the change of disk controller and I couldn’t recover. 2 operating system installs for the price of one 🫠

Mint cinnamon 21, then upgraded to 22.

I wasnt thrilled about upgrading to win11 - it adds an irritating layer of stuff that I didnt want or need. The ads and telemetry bugged me too. I was probably going to reluctantly upgrade at some point though.

But then recall was announced and I realised how much worse it could get. Been really happy with the switch to Linux.
