Counter Strike Source and other old school LAN games.

Then invite friends over and pass the drive around so they can all install games and you can have a LAN party.

I don’t understand this.

If I put on something with video I want to absorb it. There’s more video content in existence than I could ever watch, I always want to watch something worth watching. If it’s something I’ve seen before them I’m rewatching because it was entertaining enough that I want to watch it again. Even if I try to ignore it, it’s good enough that it’ll rope me in.

Put something on and not watch it? Is it boring enough that it’s not pulling you in? It’s just background noise? Then why isn’t it a podcast or something?

If you’re ignoring it then why turn it on? Do you turn on lights in rooms you’re not in? It feels… like something just above brainrot. Like it’s not rotting you, but either it’s not engaging or it’s just background noise (with an unused visual component)

IMO, everything has to do with piracy.

Ever since the r4 for the DS spring boarded Nintendo piracy, every single console they’ve released since then has been ripped open and has had very easy-to-use tools developed for it to make it really, really, easy to put pirated games on. You can buy a flashcard from amazon with DS games on it. You can mod a 3ds in 15 minutes. You can play switch games on the steam deck.

They hate this. They want to do everything they can to lock down their systems and prevent this.

On the Wii (or maybe it was 3ds or Wii U) when updating, you used to get a notification “…this update will also check for unauthorized material and remove it.” Now they’re simply saying it there’s unauthorized stuff they’re not going to account for it and let things break (or force it to break)

Now they’re locking down the usb-c port, again making it harder to crack the console. They failed with every console this far, so now they’re trying something different.

In the long run it may get cracked eventually. But for now, like denuvo, it delays piracy.

Shutout to Thunder, another great client.

Ahh, the old Lemmy switcheroo.

How can I fix the multi monitor thing?? Whenever I connect my TV screen everything freezes unless I unplug one of my desktop monitors.

What if you had OBS create a “camera” of your screen, and then use that through video chat?

Ok, my comment didn’t age well.

They won’t as long as he doesn’t take off his helmet.

Senpai noticed me!!

For a cowboy from a place with no atmosphere you understand atmosphere pretty well… sus…

Ok!

Photopea is great, but after a certain point it begins to chug. Once you have a dozen or so groups and begin to stack adjustment layers peefomance suffers. A dedicated desktop app just has more power to swing around.

It’s going to take some time to get as proficient in krita or GIMP.

Photoshop and stable nvidia drivers.

I like how Vesktop updates in the background. Discord proper has to close, download the .deb, install, and relaunch.

On Lemmy you feel like your voice is heard more because it’s smaller, IMO.

Alright, I think I may have found my solution.

• The crash only occurs on desktop environments that use x11, it does not occur on DEs that use Wayland.
• The only DE that uses Wayland that Pop officially supports (that I can tell at least) is “Pop (on Wayland),” which is GNOME.
• GNOME doesn’t look or feel familiar to me, Cinnamon does. I really like Cinnamon. But today I realized GNOME extensions can be used to make GNOME feel different, and are (at least so far) remarkably stable.
• By installing the extension manager, and then adding the extensions “Dash to Panel” and “ArcMenu” and tweaking them I’ve been able to achieve the look and feel that I was going for with Cinnamon, on a DE that doesn’t crash on suspend. (Note for anyone else that tries this: I had to disable the “Cosmic Dock” and “Pop COSMIC” extensions so things would play nice with the new extensions.)

So it’s a workaround. It’s essentially finding a way to make the “new” stuff feel like the old stuff, but as an added benefit, I get all the functionality that the new stuff offers.

So after installing it I see: nvidia-driver-550 is already the newest version (560.35.03-1pop0~1729800494~22.04~4a3cad6)

So 550 is there, but it’s using 560. I assume that means I need to purge all traces of 560 and 550 and then reinstall 550, unless I can specify somewhere to use 550.

However in software and updates there is no 550, only 560.

This is getting deep and complicated.

So I tried using the command in the snippet, and made sure that CC was capitalized, but the error log still says “You are using: cc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0”

Going to the post that talks about changing your version of GCC it looks like my gcc might be pointing to the “11.4.0 cc”?

But when I run: sudo apt-get install gcc-4.3 gcc-4.4 g+±4.3 g+±4.4

I can’t find those packages. And when I run:

sudo update-alternatives --remove-all gcc sudo update-alternatives --remove-all g++

I find no alternatives. Sheesh. When I go this many layers deep I get worried that I’m going to potentially break something that will make bugtesting for other future things harder.

Finally got around to this. I tried installing while logged in, then realized I should Ctrl+Alt+F2 (or something) and stop gdm before installing.

I got an error message, there was an error while building kernel modules. Checking /var/log/nvidia-installer.log I think this is the culprit:

warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel The kernel was built by: x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12 (Ubuntu 12.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 12.3.0 You are using: cc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0

Warning: Compiler version check failed:

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12 (Ubuntu 12.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 12.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.38

does not match the compiler used here:

To skip the test and silence this warning message, set the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH environment variable to “1”. However, mixing compiler versions between the kernel and kernel modules can result in subtle bugs that are difficult to diagnose.

So I’m using 11.4.0 instead of 12.3.0? Not sure what that number is. Both kernels are based on Ubuntu 22.04. I’m starting to think if I really want cinnamon I should use a distro that was made for cinnamon, like Mint.
