If you have to know… Mostly Skyrim as of late . Been thinking of doing some questionable content at some point with a few friends

This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!

I have 2 PCs

my main one is full AMD running hyprland -5800X, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, etc.

My second PC is solely used for streaming and is running an old GTX 1070 for encoding purposes.

From what I can see, I’ve not really had any issues running hyprland on it. Though I will admit it doesn’t do much beyond running Carla, OBS, Qpwgraph, Firefox, discord and jack_mixer on specially designated workspaces. And it streams soley via EVGA Xr1 Lite capture devices. It does have desktop-portal-hyprland, just in case I want to capture my stream PCs desktop, but I don’t really use it much. It’s connected as a second input to my secondary monitor, and has a mirrored display on a small touch screen so I don’t have to swap monitor inputs too often, and can trigger scene changes with just a touch. The hardest part was getting the monitors to play nicely, as the touchscreen sits upside down.

Full specs of my second PC, as it’s quite old - Intel Core i5-4690, ASRock H97M pro4, 16GB Ram, EVGA GTX 1070, Intel 120GB SSD, 1TB WD Green 5400rpm HDD.

We don’t, but our government seems to think we do. Seriously if we were any further up America’s ass, we’d be licking the back of America’s throat.

That said, sometimes I feel like we’re the rope in a tug of war between America and China. Though the majority of time America’s winning.

Conversely, failing to quick save us the bane of our existence.

Honestly, considering how much of a meme Trump’s presidency seemed to be (at least as an Australian that’s what it appeared to be - I wouldn’t be surprised if people voted for him for the meme at the time), having someone named “literally anybody else” on the ballot seems like a great way to get votes if only for the meme.

Going through some of those parts, chances are some of them are probably unsealed - though I suspect google maps will always generally try to pick the sealed roads.

As for petrol stations… Yeah keep a few Jerrys with you, just in case, as well as a spare full size tire or two (space savers are a bad idea in the outback) as well as a toolbox, with basic tools, hose clamps, etc. and plenty of drinking water/snacks. Maybe even a few packed lunches.

The nullaboar (Latin for “no tree”) plains along the coast of south/western Australia are well known for having the one long, straight, featureless Eyre highway with a whole lot of space Between petrol stations. The most dangerous thing about those roads is fatigue from looking at the constant unchanging scenery for hours at a time. The second is running out of fuel or breaking down - where you gotta hope you’ve got the shit to fix stuff, because it’s highly unlikely you’ll see a friend on the road for at least an hour or two, if not longer.

It’s so long that there are three designated airstrips on the highway designed for emergency landings and air ambulances (royal flying doctor service FTW - seriously, those guys deserve all the praise, true heros)

God I swear the American Christians are fucking insane.

I’ve never heard such BS before. At least not from any church I know here in Australia.

Interesting, if it’s a native Wayland app, I’d guess the issue is just gnome problems then - from what I hear gnome is one of the poorest DEs for Wayland use, mainly because they refuse to support things the same way that everyone else agrees to, if at all. And they take a fair amount longer to deliberate and agree how to implement anything they do decide to support.

I’d think of looking at KDE, which is very functional at this point, or a wlroots based Compositor/WM, - hyprland seems like one of the more well supported window managers out of the ones using wlroots.

Let me guess… You’re running an X.Org based WM/DE?

X11 Doesn’t support fractional scaling properly . So some DEs will simulate it by scaling the apps the same way you scale a rasterized image like a PNG or JPEG, and as a result everything looks blurry. You’ll generally also have the same issue with XWayland apps on a Wayland display.

The best way to combat this? Try to use Wayland native apps as much as possible.

2nd best? Use non fractional values for scaling (x1 or x2 instead of x1.25)

Our class party’s were always “bring a plate” type parties - parents would give the kids a plate of something to contribute

It was the best.

The world shall be… Rusty.

I guess I need a second set of shoes so when I send my old ones off to the shoe repairer I still have something to wear.

That’s my problem now, Ive only got one good-ish pair, and they ain’t leather

Not only that, but aside from fossil fuels, what’s the next worst culprit of greenhouse gas emissions? Fashion. Our practices in producing cheap, poorly made replaceable clothes and not making the effort into at least splashing out into clothes that last longer and maybe even repairing what we’ve got is a huge problem.

Most pairs of shoes I buy often don’t last longer than 3 months. And when I do finally get one that lasts longer I wear them till the soles fall out of them. My current pair I’ve had for at least 2-3 years.

Just use dishwashing powder and laundry powder/liquid.

Dishwasher pods kinda suck anyway. And most dishwashers have a spot for powder during the prewash, which it’s highly recommended to use. (Look up technology connections videos on the topic)

At least untill someone sneaks a tab in your spaced code, and you don’t know how to make your code editor show the difference, or it doesn’t support showing the difference.

Ever wanted to be somewhere inbetween java and JavaScript?

Yeah, that’s Groovy. Only it’s the wrong groove

imma decline this. My town is in the midst of a heatwave. It’s too fuckin’ hot.

Also the only bike in the family is a rusty piece with flat tires and the gears perpetually need adjusting. The chain is probably in awful need of lubrication.

Doesn’t mean it won’t either - most people won’t realise the computer is still usable, either by workarounds or installing a different OS - they’ll either trash the PC, recycle or sell it. Or keep using it not caring that its complaining constantly that it’s out of support. (And when they do, it’s “how can I get rid of this annoying error” not “how can I update this?” - they probably didn’t even read the error - and god forbid you manage to do the update, they won’t like it if you do)

Hell most people don’t even know Linux even exists, and a lot of them couldn’t even tell me what their operating system name is.

I’ve had relatives that try to ask what’s going on and say “I have 11” without elaborating that it’s windows 11. I remember years ago my aunt said I have version 97. Referring to, at the time the totally unrelated fact that she had Office 97 installed on her winXP machine. Took me ages to work out what she actually meant.
