I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven’t bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.

That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of “broken” that I just don’t bother anymore.

I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.

When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever “flat” themes that I could find were my favorites.

Circles, the thing I hit accidentally when blocking a corporate account

fr! I’ll start calling it “X” when he calls his daughter Vivian

All the NMS comparisons that I’ve heard are also making me want to play it again too, lol

In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they’re adding).

Librewolf is open and doesn’t contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it’s the best option

They do. sorta. It’s definitely possible to put something like Starfield on a dual layer BDROM, probably even uncompressed! But then load times would be fucking crazy because BD is an order of magnitude slower than an SSD.

Distributing install files for a day 1 version of a game and using the disc as an auth key, (which is what they did last gen iirc) is still possible.

The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.

I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.

I don’t think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.

At least, that’s why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.

You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.

I have both. I haven’t tried emulating Switch games on the Steam Deck yet. I use my Switch for Nintendo exclusives and local multiplayer games since it’s less of a pita to set up

I disagree. I think it’s mostly a combination of baby duck syndrome and the perceived difficulty of gaming (unless you’re a kid who “needs” to play the flavor of the month over-monetized multiplayer trash)

Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.

For those who don’t want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital

It’s a combination of Nvidia not supporting mixed refresh rates and mixed DPIs until like really recently and the open source driver not being nearly as performant as the closed one.

I’ve been switching between Arch and Debian for the past 5ish years. I don’t really notice much of a difference, other than Arch has updates much more often than Debian Testing usually does. I like how meta-packages in Arch are more minimal than the ones in Debian, but that’s a very minor thing.

They were, but the porn wasn’t popular until after Fallout 3 and is mostly based on their Fallout 3 and 4 models.

I’ve been using Android phones for a decade now. My Pixel 6 is the best experience I’ve had with Android in those 10 years. I’ve had an OG Moto X, a Galaxy S9, a Pixel 3a, and now this 6. (I also had a brief stint with an iPhone in 2016)

The 6 and 3a have been the only ones that I’ve had without a manufacturer skin or carrier bloatware and it’s been pretty great. The Pixel 6 is the only phone I’ve had matches that iPhone I had in terms of polish and reliability.

Listing only things that haven’t been listed

• Seal: video downloader that lives in the “share” menu
• Aegis: TOTP/Google Authenticator clone that’s open source
• personalDNSfilter: an in device vpn that lets you block websites (mostly ads) (blocks in app ads too for quite a few apps!)

The plight of the adult gamer with an amount of disposable income. Too many games to play and not enough time.

I get stuck with those problems most of the time I open my Steam library. Too many games that I haven’t started. Too many that I haven’t finished. Yet I still find myself rotating between the same 2 or 3.

I’m not a streamer; I feel that people watching me play would be waaaaay too much stres.

I’ve seen both AntennaPod and PocketCasts mentioned; I’ve used both over the years. I liked AntennaPod; the only reason that I stopped using it was because I switched to Spotify since that let me pick up listening from where I left off on my desktop. I moved to PocketCasts afterwards because I’ve been slowly trying to get off of Spotify (and because they open-sourced their mobile apps). I don’t like that they require premium to have it sync with the webplayer, but it works.
