How about normal steel forks and such? They should be fine.

Check the podcast episode “A Problem Squared - 121 = Bi-annuals and Diagonals”. In it, Matt and Beck discuss what these terms even mean, and propose a solution.

Hydrogen, helium or hot air?

I mean, if there’s an airplane mode, so why not. I wonder if there’s also a bicycle mode… should be.

Oh, but a USB condom really is a thing though. It just passes through power but no data, as those pins are missing.

Yeah, that post was getting way too long, so I made some cuts here and there. The issue was in the way SE2 detects hardware… or more like doesn’t detect my GPU at all, throws an error about it and refuses to start. Under Bazzite it starts the game first 🎉, then complains that my hardware might not be good enough to run this game 🤯, but the beautiful graphics say otherwise. It’s still in early access, so I guess this kind of strange behavior will be ironed out sooner or later.

I got tired of researching this issue in Debian, so once I got it up and running in Bazzite, I stopped reading about it. Honestly, I have no idea what’s the key difference here. Is it the driver version, Proton-GE or something else? Who knows.

Anyway, I would recommend trying Bazzite. It has some pre-configured tricks that seem to handle weird cases like this.

It was Space Engineers 2. Even made a post about the journey.

All the other games were just fine though. If you don’t stumble upon one of these edge cases, there’s no reason to switch.

That’s the same philosophy I’ve applied for a long time. Recently, I found out that gaming is an exception to the rule, though. While older versions are just fine for the most part, there are edge cases where that no longer applies. I also found out that I care about one of them. Until you hit that brick wall, there’s no reason to switch. Just keep on using Debian for everything.

Took me a while to realise that I was spending way too much time figuring out workarounds instead of actually gaming. I ended up using Bazzite in my gaming rig because it works so well for that purpose.

It’s convenient if hour is the only time unit you need. However, many situations require different time units, and that’s when you run into conversion problems.

Oh wow! That’s amazing.

Groundhog (Gr), a unit of uncertainty in weather predictions. The value of 1 Gr means the prediction is as good as pulling it out of a hat.

You gotta have some standards. If you use a different rodent every year, you can’t realistically compare the results with one another. Who knows how wildly the measurement error varies from species to species?

Can confirm. There are lots of “boring” videos on Loops. Like, check this out. Yes, it’s an entire channel dedicated to chickens. I mean, it’s nice and relaxing, but nowhere near as addicting and engaging as tiktok or instagram videos. I’ll still count that as a win.

Regardless, @billinkc still rocks.

Before the app was released, I noticed that suddenly there were many new users. Previously, making an account wasn’t open to everyone, but apparently that has changed too.

No shortage of trash, but that’s true for all platforms.

I just used the customize button on the top right corner and moved politics and a bunch of other junk to the “hide” column. This way, the home feed has a chance of containing things worth watching. Mostly though, I just use Odysee for watching the few channels I care about. Incidentally, I arranged the “followed” section to the top of the list.

As a result, I don’t see any conspiracy or MAGA nonsense at all.

Peertube for long tech videos. You’ll find lots of linux people here. Sure, there’s pretty much everything else too, but that’s what I use Peertube for.

Odysee for a wide range of videos in general. Many youtubers have backed up their videos here.

Loops for short videos… more like a tiktok clone really.

It’s the trivial proof.

I’d rather put in the effort for an OS that knows what consent is and respects me as a user.

This is the primary reason why I prefer to use Linux. With most FOSS projects, it’s clear that the user is respected, and that’s the way it should be.

Yeah, that title is just awful. When they have nothing interesting to write about, they use the title to intentionally mislead the readers. There should be laws against that.
