Picked up D2 a bit this week and holy shit are the sources of new good gear hidden behind like a million menus. The portal sounded like a good idea on paper! It's tons of UI between you and fun though.

Also I'm uninterested in a grind anyway so idk how much I can get into this again.

I do too! But like, I also have strong feelings about hot sauces. There can be lots.

They've finally managed to take the jobs of my kids trying to stall bedtime.

The second answer to all of these is that KDE, cinnamon, lxde or whatever it's on now, almost too many to name. Like, to no detriment to anything. Unless I'm missing some serious context here about the humor this is incomprehensible.

Anti gnome? How is anyone anti any desktop environment?

Damn that's the mildest statement I've ever seen get a block.

I think you're underestimating the masochism of the Destiny 2 player base.

I don't know what it would even look like I just saw their graphic designer on the nix convention channel and it was such a crazy silly idea but he had some really good version tracking reasons and stuff

I'm not joking they build the logos deterministically with Nix

Guess they hadn't nixified the logo generation yet

Biometric stuff is terrifying. I would only full stop want it IN ADDITION TO a password to make sure I'm the only one who can use it. And that's without the fifth amendment muddy waters we're in about biometrics in the US.

My Dunning-Krueger take is that a graphical wrapper of Nix the package manager/NixOS configs could be user friendly enough for literally anyone. Do an Omarchy curated config with the right DE and it could have the momentum of a "real" distro with none of the overhead.

I screwed myself over a bit ago with some buffer being full because I wasn't running collect garbage with sudo. The line where you auto collect anything older than a certain time nips that shit in the bud though.

Lol I don't get the hate it's so solid. I don't know what I fucked up adding random repos to ubuntu but I had to fresh install like a gazillion times. Been on the same nixos install for at least two years just editing configuration.nix and doing boring updates.

Really curious if it'll be out of beta in time for 26.05

I ran into this for either Nheko or Cinny today. Really cool stuff.

As a CAD user I have the fear of messing with scroll at the OS level

I wonder if all the immersion is just gone now that the stories I cared about are wrapped up.

I fired it up out of curiosity with the altars of sorrow and it loaded me into the edge of fate campaign and I did not really enjoy playing at all. I don't know what changed about my brain. I started looking at all the things it wanted me to do and after short bit it was too much for me.

If I was going to roll my own feed the mastodon crosspost thing would get filtered so hard.

I'm thinking of jumping back in just to see. I really can't believe they bit off so much they killed their only game, but that's sure what it looks like.

Samsung’s triple-folding phone could be my display-loving dream, but it all hinges on one key feature

How exactly will the Galaxy Z Tri-Fold fold?

Been waiting for the folding phone people to get to something that can expand to a full tablet for a while now. I’m really curious to see how useful people find it.

Like just say goodbye to hdmi and DisplayPort and just carry one of those little guys for any size laptop and dock/display setup. Power and bandwidth to be future proof until we quit using 2d displays.

I’m honestly bummed that they didn’t take the opportunity to make a bigger reversible connector with higher throughput and current capacity and have it replace all the bigger ports. All the crazy stuff in thunderbolt and usb with the variable voltage in a connector with type a footprint? 😍

My wife got me to pick up The Heavenly Table a few weeks ago and it’s unbelievably good. It’s got some real weird characters and they do some crazy stuff. I just never pick up a book when I’m not traveling so I still haven’t finished it.

I haven’t played since they made me kill my boy the echo of navigation and you just made me check my vault to see if I kept one lol.
