Is there a community where a take like this would be considered and welcome? Asking because I would like to follow that community…

I’m so far behind the MCI—like a dozen films and a half dozen series. I’m not watching any new films until I’ve caught up, so…

Also, I only found out this WAS a film a few days before it came out.

I’m about a week off coming back to Windows from Linux.

Some things that chased me off:

• Alan Wake 2 used too new of GPU features
• Once after playing a game, my cursor was just gone—not invisible, just not there. Only keyboard.
• A few times after quitting games, something was broken about the desktop experience and I had to reboot the machine to get things working again
• Discord crashed any time the machine went to sleep (or woke up? Hard to tell which)
• Several games only worked if I manually put in Proton launch options
• No support for DLSS framegen
• Cyberpunk had to be given a fake driver version to support ray reconstruction
• No support for GamePass games still, which is how I’d been playing Starfield and Lies if P, and planning on Cities: Skylines 2.
• No native support for middle-click scrolling without pasting (I don’t count editing low-level X config files)
• [edit] Also Lords if the Fallen thought I was using a modified game and wouldn’t let me online—solo play only, thanks to EAC

I keep feeling like Linux is just a year or two away from being good enough for common folks to switch over, and I guess if all you need if Firefox, it’s probably there. But the experience is just so subtly, but consistently, bad year after year.

For reference, I was on Pop!_OS (whatever their latest stable was, I think based on Ubuntu 22?). I had read that Pop!_OS was one of the better distorts for games.

Can you tell me more about this? I’m running a synapse server at the moment, but if there’s about to be a smoother Rust option, I’m interested!

Weirdly, I read this as “Reddit doesn’t think it needs search engines,” and was confused about seeing everyone discussing Google specifically. That’s a bit stupid to try to block only the one search engine.

I became a Nitro subscriber pretty early specifically because I hope it helps them not enshittify their product… :(

Literally what I thought when I first saw the headline.

Literally making Twitter more tolerable every time he locks some feature behind logins/paywalls.

Gosh, if they’d offered this 10 years ago, I’d have been MUCH more interested. As-is, I haven’t really used Facebook in a year or two because of the awful timeline, not the ads. So cool idea, but too little (well, too much cost, I guess) and too late for me to care.

I really need to try them and see how many searches I actually use. Even their higher paid tiers seem like way too few searches to me. But I have no actual idea.

I’d happily take “fully co-op Elden Ring” (keep meaning to try the mod, tbf), and “Dwarf Fortress, but in 3D and you can play/explore/participate like Minecraft.

For some definitions of “play”, absolutely!
