Why? Fedora is an amazing distro, don’t be put off by the “tips fedora” memey-sounding name
- Comment on Microsoft is quietly installing the Copilot app on Windows PCs 1 month ago:
The de facto truth is that while Windows is installed, it’s not your PC, it’s theirs. Of course they’re going to add advertising. Of course they’re going to spy. Of course they’re going to use Copilot as a mechanism to do that.
If you don’t want that, your options are basically limited to installing an OS that doesn’t do that shit, or voting for parties that care about consumer rights, if one exists where you live.
- Comment on I used to be a frame rate snob but owning a Steam Deck has made me realise the error of my ways 1 month ago:
Yup.
And in the wider PC space, VRAM is a big issue as well.
Everybody keeps acting like every single big game that comes out is “unoptimised” because it uses more than 8GB of VRAM when playing at 1440p or above at ultra settings, and people with 8GB or lower GPUs are struggling.
Are all these games unoptimised? Or is it simply that they’re done targeting consoles with 8GB RAM, are now exclusively focusing on ones with 16GB, and because of Nvidia being notoriously stingy with VRAM, lots of people on PC are suddenly finding their cards falling short?
Thank fuck Valve had the sense to put 16GB of unified memory in the Deck. Could you imagine if they only went with 8GB, or even 12GB?

Yes I have 2500+ hours of playtime for Femboy Adventures: The Catboi Chronicles, but that’s just a joke, bro
- Comment on Plasma 6.0 has been released. Check out the new overview, improved colour management, a cleaner theme, more effects, better overall performance, and much more. 2 months ago:
Big news, but it’ll be a while before the deck gets this.
I’m on the beta channel for Deck updates, and we only recently updated to 5.27.5, which was released in early May, 2023.
Plasma 6 will probably take a comparatively longer time to be validated by Valve, because it’s such a huge update.

The story was alright but pretty forgettable. The combat was kinda fun although maybe repetitive if you just fall into using the same combos all the time.
It’s the set design that I find really good. The castle is large and filled with all kinds of little details.
To me it feels like the kinda game that would benefit from having a modding community that can add more stuff to do.

Imagine looking at the war on drugs, prohibition in the US, etc then thinking “I think we should ban this drug that’s already normalised and used by millions. Then nobody will use it and everything will be fine.”
It. Doesn’t. Work.
It especially wouldn’t for something as addictive as nicotine and so trivially purchasable abroad and easy to import.
Tobacco is already dying. Just let it continue to run its course.
