Linux on the desktop breaks 4% for the first time on Statcounter
  • There is a MAS solution for windows that activates it on GitHub. I had to use it when the key I purchased a decade ago didn't work when I upgraded my hardware. I didn't want to pay a second time for an OS that was going to push Cortana, OneDrive, and ads at me.

  • Linux on the desktop breaks 4% for the first time on Statcounter
  • I used to greatly prefer MacOS until I switched my desktop from Windows to Linux and got comfortable there troubleshooting and installing things. Now I feel exactly the same as you with MacOS. Trapped.

  • Here lies the internet, murdered by generative AI | Corruption everywhere, even in YouTube's kids content
  • I regularly have YouTube channels on in the background as I work. After a few auto play recommendations that I wasn't paying attention to, I ran into a couple about astronomy and I got excited for a second, because it was talking about the discovery of Planet X and other stuff... But as I paid attention to it, I recognised some blatant falsehoods, and it began to repeat itself with different verbage. It was really weird stuff too because I enjoy watching/listening to conspiracy and paranormal stuff.

    I looked at the channel description and found out it was an entirely AI content generated account/channel. I was flabbergasted.

  • So... I'm being judge because the instance I choose?
  • Same. I got brigaded in my first 24 hours because I corrected someone on a RUS/UKR disinfo comment they made. Nearly made me leave. I've blocked both instances in my client but I still occasionally see them pop up for some reason regardless of the alt account I'm on.

  • So... I'm being judge because the instance I choose?
  • That was my assumption too. My main account was on lemmy.ml and it was almost three months before I found out the ".ml" part apparently stood for "Marxist-Leninist". This came as a surprise, as I hadn't seen anything in the server espousing that, and Lemmygrad and Hexbear were seemed to attract the lion's share of Leftists.

  • Year of Linux on the Desktop
  • I'm sure you're probably aware, but the Heroic Game Launcher has compatibility built in to install and launch both Gog and Epic games. Makes it almost as easy as steam to set up and get going. I can't speak to any multiplayer/FPS games with anti-cheat shit though, probably SOL there

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was asked by Verge why there is no support for the Steam Deck for Fortnite
  • Install sunshine/moonlight on a PC and deck pair, and you should be able to play Epic Games from the heroic launcher. I didn't get much into it at the time, but you can shortcut games in the moonlight client so everything starts when it's selected. Without setup, you can already stream desktop mode, open Heroic and start there.

    I don't use the deck, but I do stream to a micro Linux box connected to my TV and an Xbox controller.

  • (solved) I can't get my linux system to run properly
  • My brother and a friend built his computer and couldn't figure this out. He called me a couple days later to vent some frustration and I said exactly the same thing.

    "I know this is a stupid question, but is your Dport plugged into the mobo or the dedicated graphics card?"

    "..."

    🤦‍♂️

  • Two games free on Epic Games - GigaBash and Predecessor
  • I just picked up Cyberpunk, Jedi Survivor, and a few others on Steam's Cyber Monday sale. Cyberpunk 2077 like playing a movie. It is incredible. I'm trying to finish up BG3 before I start into it, but it's difficult not to

  • Requesting advice on converting a Laptop Keyboard from QWERTY to Colemak-dh
  • I learned Dvorak. It was a painful four months going from chicken pecking a few words per minute to touch-typing. I would echo this advice. DO NOT pop the keys off and replace them. There are too many things baked into the BIOS or when you reinstall the OS, and you need to find the right key on a QWERTY layout.

    I know it's painful, but learn to type without looking at the keyboard. Print off a paper guide and place it below the monitor, and reference THAT when key hunting. Being able to touch-type is a serious superpower you will thank yourself for learning in the future.

  • Automakers must build cheaper, smaller EVs to spur adoption, report says
  • That's a good point, and you're probably right. With how expensive it is to survive, not to mention American healthcare, I don't think I mind the tradeoff. I'd rather die immediately than have lifelong injuries I can't pay for nor work off.
