Not surprising considering there’s little to no competition in that price range. Pretty much every not-bad PC headset is $1000+, and heavy hitters like Valve Index haven’t had a hardware refresh in years.

Whew, I was getting worried we were one day into 2024 and nobody said this yet.

I’m not going to say using a different distro will fix all your problems but yeah, your experience is not normal. A lot of this is because Ubuntu is not highly recommended. It’s just popular, but there are a bunch of terrible decisions it makes that barely anybody recommends it.

Of course Ubuntu just threw out the old installer for debian files, and didn’t replace it yet. Wouldn’t want a user to just be able to easily install files!

Checks out. Ubuntu is also one of the only modern distros that doesn’t come with Flatpak, which is a massive store of applications that’s quite easy to use and has a huge store of applications.

May I recommend something like PopOS instead? It’s based on Ubuntu so everything from there will work on it, including .deb files. It’s basically Ubuntu but with way, WAY saner defaults and a better beginner experience. I think your experience will be a lot better on a nicer distro.

There was also one string of Tweets in which many seniors from the Overwatch crew blamed Kotick for sabotaging the franchise and ruining Overwatch 2 with terrible decisions from higher up getting in the way of development. I really felt that one since I used to be an OW fan.

Everyone knew something was off when the game director which was extremely passionate (Jeff Kaplan) just straight up left the team after OW2 was announced. Really sucks, but at least we got some context.

Posts like this are so reassuring because it means mods are doing their jobs well :)

Despite looking childish, Snakebird is actually a really good puzzle game that gets very difficult. I played it on my phone and would recommend picking it up.

It would be kind of ironic to have an isitdown community on Lemmy itself. If an instance it down nobody from there would be able to post, and if the instance the community is made on is down then then none of the posts would federate

Were they though? After they fixed the drivers and used proper transition layers for directX they’re really decent entry-level cards.

I know reading is hard but you realize this quote was reason #5 of the many reasons listed… I’m not going to copy-paste the article, it’s all relevant info.

Honestly you should just stick to Fedora.

Why?

Seems like a cool project, but with such weak specs what can one actually do with this?

Dall-E 3 is the easiest to use and usually understand prompts the best. You can use it for free via Bing Image Editor.

May I recommend No-one has to die? It’s a bite-sized webgame that I thought was really good, you can finish it in under an hour.

Also if you’re going to play steins;gate I would recommend skipping the sequel (steins;gate 0). It’s not good.

This one is insane. The police response really does feel like it’s straight out of an action movie.

On 7 November at 9:30 am, Operation Magician was under way, commanded by Detective Superintendent Jon Shatford of the Metropolitan Police. A total of two hundred officers were involved in the operation, of which forty were from the Specialist Firearms Command (SCO19). A further sixty armed Flying Squad officers were stationed around the Thames, and twenty on the river itself to hamper any escape attempts. Surveillance officers were disguised as Dome employees. The Millennium Dome’s CCTV room was used by the police as a control room.

People probably said the same thing when Apple dropped PowerPC for x86, there’s going to be an awkward transition period but when it becomes a standard you’ll feel differently.

Who said anything about Linux becoming Windows?

Dunno, but I suppose you can use piped: https://piped.video/watch?v=98kFh3JpIXk

The game does look pretty good but I agree with the sentiment, nothing about this looks like Prince of Persia. It feels like they were working on a 2D metroidvania and decided to add the prince of persia name to it. I guess it does take place in a desert setting, but that’s about it.

The origin of the name is actually told in Lemmy’s GitHub page, it’s not just the Motorhead singer and Lemmings:

Why’s it called Lemmy?

• Lead singer from Motörhead.
• The old school video game.
• The Koopa from Super Mario.
• The furry rodents.

So basically the name came from an amalgam of things the lead dev liked.

This is probably in response to the dam being built in the Nile river that might limit the amount of water Egypt recieves.
