My personal benchmark for 'maybe this function is too long' is when it doesn't fit on the page.

I've lost count of the times my buddy and I wanted to play coop, and I was forced to log in to my ms account for a split screen game. I remember back on the original xbox, and x360…

I remember windows 2000 being pretty rock solid. I used it as my gaming os for years while folks struggled with windows me and windows xp (IIRC, xp did eventually become pretty goo…

The ux for the settings and such are ...special, but it does what I need it to do and I haven't sought out other options

to be honest, I use the calibre ebook viewer without bothering with calibre itself (so far) and I find it to be good at what it does

I'm wondering this too. I also thought about setting up calibre as I own a ton of drm free books and while the calibre reader itself is nice (the viewer is all I mainly use), somet…

1. Their sample implementation was bad , I think it was just a demo app for car displays or some such. They should have ported over a simple wm. 2. Yeah, the major projects like gn…

>Arguably the problem isn't the display server No. If you tell users they should switch to a new display server, you shouldn't be surprised if no one takes you up on it if you don'…

Yeah I used x forwarding to access matlab from my uni lab from the comfort of my own home, while all the other students had to slog to the lab lol

It is absolutely not the DE/WM devs driving this, it's the wayland folks saying that xorg would no longer be maintained. They literally just dumped an Ikea box of protocols on the …

By the time wayland becomes the default in xfce, maybe the wayland team will have added window positioning to the protocol...

Question, does your monitor have a KVM? Cause I definitely notice this behavior, even on windows and os x with my monitor. I believe it was the same way on linux as well but it's b…

Depends on the game. Many shooters have always targeted 60 fps (COD / BF iirc). A single player game may well target 4k30hz unless the user selects 'performance mode'. In the PC ve…

When you say game streaming, is this the steam streaming stack?

My biggest problem with wayland was how it was basically forced on the community. It broke innumerable things for years , put all the responsibility for implementing things down on…

>give Bazzite a whirl I never really understood Bazzite's immutable fs thing. Can one install standard dev stuff (i.e. compilers, ides, etc) easily under bazzite? This use case is …

>Talk to console gamers and they still think the PC is sweaty and playing on the PC is like putting your hands in the toilet. Eh, as someone who owns and plays on both pc and conso…

>Kids today will newer know the feeling of unwrapping a fresh package of 10 floppies. Even as an elder millennial most of the floppies I used back then were formatted aol install d…

I'm trying really hard not to be judgemental about this... Until we invent some sort of matrixesq knowledge transfer, the printed word is hands down the best technology we have to …

That merely shows that a very basic education is more widespread. One thing that's always struck me, listening to letters read aloud in history shows, is the eloquence and mastery …

You're not reading the right news sources then. I find reuters, the AP and such still worthwhile.

It's funny, I signed up for tiktok when I was curious about the hype, explored a bit for the science / history / educational content I normally watch on youtube and found there was…

Huh, I bought a ps5 specifically so i could have a up to date playstation console with a 4k blu ray player. Planet earth / blue planet are achingly beautiful on a 4k oled. Sadly th…

A buddy of mine is pretty insistent on physical media, wherever possible, and honestly, at this point, he's been proven right again and again. Sad that most executable code (games,…
