All of them i’ve actually wanted to try out I was able to stream via the xbox game pass website in a browser. It is not a perfect experience, but it is “good enough” on a decent internet connection. I understand that if you physically have an xbox you can also run the game on that and stream it to your linux desktop for much better performance and latency, but I have not tried this myself.

That said, it is pretty rare. The only ones I’ve tried that with were fortnite (a friend wanted to play the lego game mode, but it was short lived - starved for content, lol) and starfield (it was free on game pass and I wasn’t sure I wanted to buy it).

I’m pretty sure it is literally a transcription of a trump speech…

Edit: oh fuck, I just noticed the name on the paper is also Donald Trump… Lol I guess I “ate the onion”.

Happy birthday .zip! I joined hear because I liked the name, I stayed here because it doesn’t suck. Thank you for being awesome!

They’ll probably come to the “logical conclusion” that storing the data locally on the machine poses “too much risk” and just move the storage to their servers “for your safety”…

Would have to do some swimming, the waters close to the coast are still under US law. You need to get 12 nautical miles to get to international waters and away from this lunacy.

That’s partly true, but I wouldn’t say the assault was “basically suicide” when they had an entire Star Destroyer full of storm troopers boarding a ship that fits in the docking bay. Even if they went 2 for 1 on losses, the Empire still wins with “minimal losses” comparatively. There just isn’t much screen time of them being exceptionally good soldiers.

I wasn’t suggesting we should see Vader telling them to miss, just thinking it would be nice to see more storm troopers being bad-asses throughout the films. It felt like most of the time the Empire won a fight throughout the entire original trilogy was by bringing overwhelming numbers and firepower more than the troops being especially good. The opening scenes even felt like to me.

I’m curious, could you skip a a DE and window manager and still run full screen graphical applications like games? Run it really like the DOS days when you just changed to the correct directory and ran the executable and then doom launches…?

Linux fanboys have ruined it’s image. Most of them take pride in doing simple things in an over complicated manner and wonder why people won’t switch. Even basic tasks like loading kernels or installing something is told in such a gatekeeping manner that scares new users into adapting it.

I think this hit close to home. As a community, we really need to strive to be better here. I typically don’t post much in any Linux forums. I feel like I am still too new to offer “the correct answer”, and keep quiet and leave it to the “experts”; like it isn’t my place to try to help. I guess I need to get over that and do my part from now on.

You’re not wrong but the movies did a crap job of it. It’s always better to show us something than tell us, and it told us they are good shots but showed us they suck. For basically all 3 movies.

It all basically reads like fan-fic already tbh. Or maybe like… How do I explain it… These look like documents Cosplaying as top-secret information. They are LARP-ing as top-secret documents. For an alternate timeline.

Instructions unclear. Boiled scrotum hurts. Send help.

Hobble at best.

That’s real?! TIL…

I can’t decide if that changes my answer or not… lol Seems like a cumbersome way to browse files, but maybe that’s because it isn’t how I’ve learned…

That “Unix” os from the og jurassic park movie.

Find a member of staff and ask where the “human bathrooms” are. Don’t let them leave until they explain. Bonus points if you piss your pants while they are trying to explain.

My install does use btrfs (but unfortunately since I reused the other drives they are still ntfs formatted) and it does regular snapshots, but to the same drive. It isn’t completely borked yet so I’m hopeful I can “clone” to a new drive and rma the bad one (10 months old so should still have mfr warranty). I’ve used clonezilla in the past but had read it doesn’t support btrfs, maybe that info is outdated? I did see some promising tools for doing basically the same job through btrfs though. I planned to work on salvaging what I can tonight. Worst case scenario, all my personal files are synced to a cloud storage service so I’d just be out installed programs and configs if I have to reinstall from fresh.

I hope so at some point. Drove a friend’s tesla and fuck that thing, even the speedometer was on the fucking center tablet… Fuckin why? I don’t want to hunt for my current speed in the bloated infotainment bs.

Can someone explain like I’m 5 searXNG?

Like, I vaguely understand the terms everyone uses to explain it but I don’t really understand what it does or how it does it. I’ve used a public instance of it that the maintainers of my Linux distro provide and is set as default search on a fresh install. The results weren’t terrible but did take some time to load, which is the main reason I tend to use other engines.

If I self host it do I get better performance? What about results? Are they different on different instances?

I’ve been 100% on Linux since July of last year. I thought I was currently having my first major Linux fucked up situation that I just could not figure out this weekend.

It has been very depressing, after trying to convince friends and family to give Linux a chance and keep an open mind for months, I was beginning to feel like a fraud and a liar.

But, after hours of software troubleshooting turning up nothing I’ve discovered I’m in the early stages of a dying ssd… My first major problem, and it’s hardware related. It sucks but it is also a relief in a weird way.

And I’m finding out about it way earlier than I likely would have in windows thanks to btrfs. But it’s also funny because if I had been having similar issues in windows I probably would have ran hardware diag much sooner, but because I’m still a bit of a Linux newbie I assumed I broke my OS and wasted hours troubleshooting software.

The rest of the internet ruined me today and thought you said you like to eat paste with milk in Finland…
