    As you've mentioned in your nitpicks, I HIGHLY recommend advanced users learn to use Nix for packages unavailable in their distro's repos. I have foundational libs and apps from my distro's packages, any proprietary or electron garbage in flatpak (although I use native steam and jetbrains toolbox, bc they work better for me that way), and anything else is through nix-env or nix-shell. There is SO MUCH available through the Nix repos and the tooling is incredible.

    I audibly gasped when I first found out how old most of the libraries are in the discord client. they were updated in canary for better wayland support like 6 months ago and I've heard nothing since. With steam dropping 32bit support hopefully those of us with native steam can offload those libraries soonTM









  • You've reminding me of an exchange I'd almost forgotten. Some months ago I joined an empty bf1 server to complete one of the easter eggs and a chinese guy joined and asked to practice his english. I don't remember exactly what we chatted about - video games other hobbies I think. It really made my day. Unfortunately the competitive nature of most games with voip hampers this kind of connection along with most of the same games lacking community server support.

    As others have said, you're not the first to feel this way. I logged on yesterday for the first time in several months after thinking the same and I was pleasantly surprised at the level of activity. I've had mixed feelings about federation but feel like it paid off, though I mostly keep my feed to 'local'. Hell, 2024 might even be the year I finally make a post.


  • One of the most nonsensical articles I have ever read. The paper is a random physicist saying "uhhh if you can represent something will less information that's better. like computer compression. nature does this" and idealists start slobbering all over themselves. Not to mention this site in particular is almost entirely AI generated, and they sell t shirts with sonnenrads on them!
