I know these kinds of posts absolutely mummify me but I read them anyway…

I was puzzled at first because I thought they were frogs

man… sucks to be a tiny ostrich but lay big ostritch size eggs

I have a display with HDR and VRR but VRR is fucked on all same and older generation oled panels I found out later, and the brightness flickers at dumb times so I can’t use it regardless. There’s a very specific case in which it works iirc, but it would require consideration for every game.

But apart from me and one guy several tax brackets above me, everyone I know uses ~2016 basic model tvs and monitors from fbm or similar era gaming displays from friends that upgraded. Some of them have old HDR capable displays but I feel like oled without HDR beats lcd with HDR any day. The average gamer still uses pretty shit tier hardware and GPU is definitely a generally preferred upgrade over display when you can get old 1080p’s free or 4k for cheap used, lack of buzzwords be damned.

Yes that is my blind spot that I have created. I go into a store, I see g-sync is nvidia, and assume it won’t work. I have been avoiding stuff that I know doesn’t work or suspect won’t within the decade, for decades. I’ve been recommending friends and family avoid certain specific brands/tech buzzwords on the basis that it probably won’t work in a few years when the maker decides to drop support for version 1 and similar scenarios, or the ‘surprise’ real life case of windows really crossing the line on how shitty they can get away with and making people want to switch and coming to me to ask if this or that linux distro would work for them.

IDK where you find ‘normies’ that have any idea what vrr and hdr even mean and those types tend to not even notice when they are running 60hz on a 265hz monitor with the resolution set wrong. My users are a bit more advanced than that but I’ve had 7 more people ask me to help them switch to bazzite or arch based distros since should be built in apps like notepad started bugging out for them and apart from things like ‘how install repack?’ or helping with mods, which they would have asked me for regardless of os, I haven’t had to do any further actual work on their systems and the one that had an hdr display proudly told me about looking up how ge proton and one steam launch option/environment variable will enable it.

the part I always forget is that I almost instinctively avoid hardware with linux issues and never have hardware problems with any particular distro, leaving me to hate on gnome or the distro maintainers making corpo choices

Bazzite works on all but my mom’s computer which for some reason works with aurora. A lot of people seem to hate on atomic distros but thanks to them I haven’t done any bullshit idiot level tech support in so long and I can finally have panic attacks and anxiety over just work and current events

Family connect to my server with tv. If tv is in the same house everything is blocked and select things are whitelisted.

I need lidarr to support them

wait, it’s all butt stuff? 🌏👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

lol that gives me luigi in mario 64 vibes, but if someone went back in time with a romhack to ‘prove’ it

I know of aether mod but I don’t understand the mechanic here. Or is it just building the portal and not having the mod installed?

still doable but I’d rather just start over

the peak of humanity

at least forking is an option you can choose, and someone else with decent reputation in the foss community will probably also do it before you, instead of just accepting being fucked up the ass with no lube for the third time this week

seems to have been resolved 1 day ago, per the original reddit post.

I was sourcing between mangadex, weebcentral, comick, and batoto for most things with the odd entry from translator sites and I’m still not done migrating comick entries from my library. Weeb seems to have rips from official translations so I’m not counting on it sticking around if it doesn’t become like md and have a bunch of empty series. I might have to look into self download and hosting like I have for movies and music.

literally for real the manufacturer bloatware is one of your requirements?

followed by a cinematic sex scene wrapped up with a lamp cut and this guy flopping around it?
