Unfortunately some old tech does just start becoming obsolete at some point. sure you can force old software on to it but unless its designed to just interact on its own or with some other equipment thats stuck in time, it usually ends up not being worth the trouble or time, especially when you can get pretty powerful (comparison wise) equipment for cheap. chrome books for example are dirt ass cheap and some times a better solution than trying to get a super old system running again.

while I agree… i dont see what this has to do with programming

feel’n a bit called out rn

I was thinking of picking up FF 7 remake cuz… idk, big sword look cool? also soul caliber 6 cuz its $8

uh, yeah probably just those I think. still dont know if I will commit to it cuz i already have such a back log.

I had to reset the whole app

idk. i have a huge list of links i’ve just been storing away but think im gonna finish reading Hells Paradise before starting any new series.

not to mention there are an ass load of games in my backlog.

I would say pop is for new users, arch is for users that know what they want and willing to put in the time, i wouldnt say its “for hackers”.

picking an arch based distros thats already built for you though is the easy way to go if you want a linux system for gaming. I tried using pop for a while. it was ok but ultimately a rolling release system was better.

Imma be real… Arch has been the most consistent system I’ve used to date.

I’ve been using linux off and on since like 2008. I jumped around from ubuntu, fedora, opensus, popOS, centOS, etc… I’ve had manjaro and now arch as my daily driver for probably 4 or more years now and Arch updates have only ever broke one thing, one time, and it was more of a audio pipewire issue than it was really archs fault.

arch updates do not deserve this slander, its been very reliable for me, more than probably any system i’ve ever used.

yeah, does seem a bit excessive. unless the goal was to retrieve like a black box for info, there is an entire ship down there, hardly seems like leaving one small tube makes a difference

I just dont get the point of putting your body down there. if most of what you’re seeing is through the digital displays anyway, why not just send a drone and watch remotely? seems like an awful massive risk and expense to try and actually dive down there for nothing more than looking out a window

Agreed. So many new phones are taller than they are wide and I dislike thst. The v10 and v30 I had were phat bois and I miss that.

I have the vo patch. Didn’t know there was any spite upgrades. I’ll probably just keep it as is though, I have no complaints on how it looks

Unfortunately, 100% parity will likely never happen, especially if people wont just use it regardless of less than perfect compatibility. Devs keep making games with functions that refuse to work on linux and/or refusing to support it or provided compatibility layers, and windows keeps breaking shit that old games rely on to work making linux compatibility with old titles better than windows.

just depends on what you’re trying to playing. personally I almost never play any multiplayer games any more and I dont feel like im missing out on anything. i’ve been daily driving linux for a few years now and leaving my reliace on windows in the past has been very nice.

just comes down to your priority, I suppose. my priority is my system first, games seconds. If your system is games first, system second, then linux may not be for you yet… but I would still recommend learning to use it, be familiar with it should the time come that microsoft does something that is an absolute deal breaker for you.

Legend of Heroes Trail in the Sky SC

its been a nice little game so far. its a pretty simple jrpg with a focus on story and characters. its fantasy of sorts but isnt quite so goofy or convoluted as square enix games like to be. I’ve been good so far

Rear power and volume buttons.

To this day my favorite phone remains the LG v10. It has nice metal rails on the side, a rubber removable back, sd card slot, aux port with a high end dac, wide(er) screen, and buttons on the back of the phones right where your indexed finger would rest when holding it.

Figure print sensor on the button didn’t work all that well, but worked better than this shit on screen reader. The buttons being on the back meant your could just grab the phone in anyway with out worrying if you’re gonna Power the phone off, turn the vol down, take a screenshot, etc. This also meant getting it knot phone holders was almost never an issue.

That was the closest an android phone got to perfection. After that they started trying to follow tends and phase out the good parts to the point of leaving the Android market entirely.

who… what?

I’ve never heard any one really complain about gas stations. is the questioned and response worded poorly? I think people hate paying high prices for gas but I’ve never heard any one say they hate gas stations before.

ISP’s tho, every one can agree that they can go gargle an entire warehouses of unwashed dicks

no and no. The tap where I live taste nasy, i think its safe to drink but its not very good so I dont use it.

Gnu Linux does have an actual lengthy license agreement.

It’s that license agreement that keeps it free and open and also ensures that people can’t just steal it, claim it as their own, and then open legal disputes against anyone who who tries to use it them selves (among other legal things in sure).

I just wish chrome wasnt so fucking useful by comparison. its integration into my android phone is equal to none. the firefox browser on android is ok but it does not integrate quite as well as the whole google platform. then there’s the performance on linux. I hate to say it but chrome feels so much smoother and nicer to use on linux than even firefox does. I’ve tried making the full switch to firefox several times, last time I daily drove it for probably almost 3 months but eventually found my way back to chrome, it was just a more enjoyable experience.

then there is the fact that every website builds their code to ensure it works with chrome, that is one advantage of chrome being the vast majority of the browser user pool, web devs can focus on making sure the one thing works really well.

that all said, just like wine and linux, it is important that we have a completely separate alternative so we’re not entirely reliant should the ship start to sink. I’ve already fully converted to linux and its been my daily driver for a few years now, not looking back. I know plenty of people are still on windows but with ever new release it feels like they’re doing more and more to punch holes in the SS.Windows ship and i’ll eventually be a sinking boat for enough people who see that an alternative exists. Same will need to be said for chrome vs firefox

magic is just physics we dont understand yet… think this could still work
