Same here, only I use a few different browsers between work and home. I’ve never once had to skip over to a different browser because Firefox couldn’t do it. Only thing that ever stops a website from working for me is uBlock Origin, and that just means it’s usually doing its job.
Brave is reskinned Chrome with a whole lot of baggage.
To be honest, I’m not tech illiterate and still struggle with Mastodon. I struggle to search/find stuff to follow outside of my local server. I know it’s there and doable, but it should be obvious on how to find what I want to follow. If I struggle even a little bit with this, the average casual user, which these platforms will need for long term success, won’t even bother.
Fair assessment. Though I’m not all the way through yet, I do know there is a massive amount of lore in the game, and a lot I’ve already personally read through in game. One big place a lot of people seem to miss with Souls games as far as the lore is item descriptions. Each item has a basic description, then a way more detailed description on a separate menu (PS5 you hit the square button to get the detailed description). The items you get along the way are a huge part of the lore.
Between that and talking to Gideon and a few others, I feel like I have a good baseline. I expect a lot more to come in the areas I’m about to tackle.
All that said: I’m a huge RPG fan and love a story-driven game. But that is not at all my motivation for playing any Souls game. It’s all about the gameplay; that super rewarding game loop that they have mastered.
Also doing Elden Ring, but I’ve also done every souls game up to it. This game is Dark Souls through and through, but with the open world and a few slight mechanical additions. Otherwise it’s the same.
The thing with souls games is the world kind of tells the story, and gives you bits and pieces to puzzle together along the way. The idea is to just do the damn thing and soak it all in along the way.
I’m about 60hrs in and also don’t totally know what’s going on, but can see more pieces coming together. But remember, souls games are very much journey over destination.
If you want to see a master class in environmental storytelling, though; play Bloodborne.
Wonder how DeSantis or his successor will spin things when the only option left is to make a government run single payer system for anyone to have coverage.
I don’t even eat ham but in this scanario I would give that sandwich my unwavering support.
The UI or DE (desktop environment) is actually interchangeable no matter what diatro you’re on. But KDE is kind of moving ahead as the favorite it seems. The you have Gnome, which is what vanilla Ubuntu comes with… And that has spinoffs like cinnamon that come with Mint.
A few distros have really made the user experience pretty damn simple. I personally love EndeavourOS as it seems to be the best of all worlds for me personally. But for any of my non techy friends, I suggest or personally set them up with Mint more often than not Mint is a far better experience overall than Ubuntu in my opinion. But I greatly prefer the package manager (yay) in EndeavourOS.
That’s about as good a reason for deleting an account as I’ve ever seen.
Hopefully we start seeing the lemmy community really kick off once training camp and preseason get underway
Not in my experience. They don’t know how to use the terminal and downloading anything shady online won’t install. No auto-updates, no bloat, nothing but what I put there. How would that not work?
Honestly Darktable works pretty damn well after you adjust to the work flow differences. I would still prefer Lightroom but after switching jobs and no longer using a company subscription for Adobe, Darktable is perfectly fine for my hobby photography.
Linux is perfect for grandparents or non tech savvy family if you set it up for them. Once it’s up and running, there isn’t much of anything they can do to break it.
This has been me as well. I switched to daily driving Linux after a week on windows 11. It hasn’t been 100% perfect but answers were so easy to find and implement. My shit works, and works well. More importantly it works exactly how I want it to.
I went with EndeavourOS
I really hope he’s able to migrate his app to Lemmy and continue to make a living. I would happily pay again.
We need to bring it back. The internet was way note fun during the surfing era.
We have switched to donating to Habitat for Humanity. Seems like the best of the convenient options.
Certainly a good solution, but the vast, vast majority of people would not even begin to understand what you said here in any level, much less implement any of it themselves.
Brave absolutely spies on you. In fact it may be one of the worst offenders.
