I’ve tried several lists over the years. The now defunct Thuldor’s Skyrim, and my current Tempus Maledictum list, both experienced the same issue. They get installed and run just fine, but i’m about 60% of the fps short, compared to Windows. I suspect it’s because of the vram overhead, and io bottlenecks in wine
The most likely answer is it’ll happen when he finally pisses off his own minions enough. He’s more likely to die, before he’ll see any kind of real punishment for anything.
Now that he’s about to rob several millions of people of basic needs being met, maybe things will start moving
We’re talking about a population, where a 1/3lbs burger was rejected for being smaller than the 1/4lbs. But even besides that, the fear-mongering, and the propaganda, have clearly worked
Blatant and unchecked invasion of privacy. This should be not just opt-in, but not even installed by default
No one’s stopping you from just downloading the app you want. They changed the default, not eliminated the option to have something elsr
Oh no… people will have less ads, without being bullied into paying… what would the billionaires even do. Don’t get avocado and coffee for a bit, i guess
This is a good example of what people consistently overlook/misunderstand, when it comes to Nix.
Obviously you can remount a /home, or just pull the dotfiles from a personal repo, but the strength of Nix is also in that I can re-create my entire config exactly how it is defined. If i were to setup a machine completely from scratch, with a mature enough config, it will get me from 0 to my exact desktop completely unattended.
But there are also many more advantages to it, at least in my eyes. Let’s take trying/tweaking new packages as an example. Yesterday I pulled an old repo for an Outer Wilds mod. The thing needs a dev environment, and a mod manager for the actual game. A nix shell got me both, I finished my work, and when I exit out of fish, both are gone, just as I wanted them to be.
Another good example would be partial os updates. I’ve used Arch for almost 9 years before switching to Nix, and pretty much a top3 Arch rule is not doing partial updates, or partial rollbacks. In case of a breakage, I would have to manually redownload an older version of a tarball, pacman -U the package, and then hope i’m not cooked. In the case of gcc incompatibilities, it can quickly become a massive pain in the ass. My nix flake would never experience this problem, because I already have two different scenarios available - either i build based on an older lockfile from my git repo, or I create an overlay for a specific input I need, so that it still pulls what it needs, and doesn’t interfere with the rest of my system
As much as everyone hates Nintendo, apparently, this means literally nothing for them. This does, however, make the used market a nightmare to deal with
Lawmakers are grappling with how to address …
Just a reminder that the government is actively voting against regulations on AI, because obviously a lot of these people are pocketing lobbyist money
Quite a disappointment, to be honest. I’m still running a 1080ti, and this card is more than capable today. Obviously it’s no 5090, but it runs everything I’ve wanted to play on it, par MHWIlds, which runs on newer systems just as poorly anyway
No one gets a third term, and that’s not negotiable. They can get the guillotine though
Aren’t these three distros mirrors of each other, for a lack of a better expression? I remember reading that one of them was started as a clone of CentOS, bugs included
I truly don’t understand the trend of games receiving an “enhanced” edition a year after launch. So what you’re saying is that you’ve released unfinished garbage originally, and now present this upgrade as something new, when that’s what it should have been right off the press
Snake oil salesmen are claiming their product is something it’s not, more at 11
Unsurprisingly so. The feedback has been overwhelmingly negative.
That being said, it’s still a matter of time until it happens
The proposal has been dropped
Doing the best for which use-case? The answers will be fundamentally different depending on the situation
Didn’t think it could get worse, and yet here we are. Not sure if it were an experiment, but for a while now my search results were always exactly 5 relevant videos, a block of shorts, and then just completely unrelated stuff.
I don’t really understand why we can’t have it, like it was before. If you’re subbed to a channel, you get the videos in your feed as they come in, and search just works as intended.
They are engineering solutions for problems that don’t need to exist
Something about channeling like 50 lightning strikes from a single skill just feels right
There are some lists that are designed specifically to run with Proton and/or on the Deck, claiming solid 40-60 fps on the Deck, so i’d take a look at what’s available in Wabbajack. In my case, i’ve definitely expected more framerate, but i can’t really complain here, because this list is really heavy in most aspects. 100% worth playing though
