I use it for Starfield at the moment and it works okay. There's definitely some caveats though and it's still something that might require some tinkering / fixing. That said, the last time I tried Skyrim on Linux it also ran atrociously bad, the framerate was just not what I'd expect from my system and way worse than what I had on Windows with my previous system (which was much worse in). Similar experience when I tried Fallout NV. The performance dipped down into the low two digits and I didn't even really went into modding all sorts of stuff into either of them.

Starfield runs much better but I suspect it might still perform better in Windows. Not sure what it is but it seems that gamebryo just does not run well under Linux, or rather even worse than under Windows.

Maybe I try NV again at some point since I kinda want to play it before season 2 of the TV show. It's been a while since I tried so maybe there had been some fixes & improvements since then and I've seen some engine optimization mod too.

I'd still hope for a native mod manager for Linux though. R2Modman is kinda decent but does not support Bethesda games.

WW3 isn't going to wipe out humans, just the largest population & production centers and with that society as we know it. Or it will be underwhelming as fuck and nothing major happens before everyone sits back down.

DarkThoughts ,

Are they..?

DarkThoughts ,

I think this is this insufferable clickbaiting bullshitter that goes on endless rants without actually saying anything. Pretty sure I've seen another of her videos posted somewhere on Lemmy a while ago that was of equal quality.

DarkThoughts OP ,

Where did they announce it?
https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/threads/newest Does not show any threads regarding that.

DarkThoughts OP ,

Thanks. I kinda hate how every instance has their own hidden away news community.

DarkThoughts OP ,

I don't know but it clearly lacks the reach. Maybe at least have an easy to see link to the news communities within the sidebars, but that's more something for the actual software to do I think.

DarkThoughts OP ,

It's on the nose but I don't think it should be causing too much confusion within a community that's about the fediverse.

DarkThoughts OP ,

The moment Russia uses nukes in Ukraine is the moment they get completely fucked by NATO. It's been pretty clear that nuclear weapons are the reddest of red lines.

And in case of a Russian collapse I guess we'd need some form of UN intervention to secure certain nuclear sites. Really depends on how bad things would go there in such an event though.

DarkThoughts OP ,

I would suggest people who are really invested in a community to follow that community's instance meta/main community

You'd first have to even find / know about them.
Unfortunately I'd say 99% of the threads in that community are also completely irrelevant for me and a lot of them aren't even in English, so I'd rather not have that pollute my feed.

DarkThoughts OP ,

Aaaaaand this has just turned into a weird nuclear debate...

DarkThoughts ,

The whole principle of Twitch is to be a whore. Streamers whore their viewers for donations. Viewers whore for their streamers for attention. It's just cringe and a waste of time content wise, while eating up idiotic amounts of resources. The majority of people there are part of the bottom barrel of society and no amount of "small streamers" can convince me otherwise as most of those would become just as much of a sellout if they'd had a chance to become popular enough.

DarkThoughts ,

TicTok is a 99% low quality garbage too, on top of being a data hording machine for China.
YouTube isn't any better nowadays either, it's all just clickbait garbage and real life vlog type shit.

Frankly, the internet was better when it was mostly nerds filling it. But I suppose now that it is mainstream, it is just a mirror of society.

DarkThoughts ,

Nowadays, yes. Go back 10-15+ years and it was quite a different experience.

DarkThoughts ,

Nah. People uploaded content they thought was interesting or funny, simply things they wanted to share with others, they weren't thinking how to milk the most engagement out of you for monetary reasons.

DarkThoughts ,

504s ... :(

DarkThoughts ,

If OP walks there frequently then he could also start to befriend them.
Offer them some grass, give them some pets & head scratches. Cows are pretty social and usually friendly animals. So if you're nice to them, they'll be nice to you too, but most importantly learn that you're no threat to them.

DarkThoughts ,

That sentence and headline are completely wrong though. Tires already are one of the greatest emitters of particulate matter even with ICE cars in mind, because this is a general car issue and cannot really be directly resolved.
An improvement would be less weight. If cars were smaller and consequently lighter, then they'd pollute less. But unfortunately we are still going the opposite direction and cars are still getting fatter and fatter, just like the people driving them.

Good job?

DarkThoughts ,

Still too car centric.

DarkThoughts ,

Seriously dude? It doesn't even have bicycles.

DarkThoughts ,

And just like the fucking floating tabs they have excessively fat padding / gaps. And if you have this replacing the tabs at the top, then you might as well move the window buttons down one row and remove the top bar entirely.

DarkThoughts ,

I think one thread would've sufficed.

DarkThoughts ,

You can delete your own threads & comments yourself.

Nice to see that the M270 / Mars II are getting some action too.

DarkThoughts ,

How many children did they save though?

Firefox 127's private window handling angers users ( www.theregister.com )

There used to be an option called browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled, which ever since Firefox 106 back in October 2022 resulted in separate taskbar icons for normal and private Firefox windows. In version 127, this option has gone away, removed in this code change. Users complained on Mozilla's forums and on Reddit at the...

DarkThoughts ,

The only reason people use Firefox is because of an icon in privacy mode? What?

Some days it'll be like that, take 2 ( sh.itjust.works )

I lost four spokes on my morning commute when the chain decided to jump off the big cog. Of course I don't have a spoke protector. (Who needs a dork disc? Bad things won't happen if you keep your bike maintained. /s) I was lucky to skid to a stop rather than crash when the rear wheel locked up....

DarkThoughts ,

Who needs a dork disc? Bad things won't happen if you keep your bike maintained. /s

When was the last time you indexed / adjusted your derailleur?

DarkThoughts ,

Yeah. I wasn't sure whether you're mocking people maintaining their bikes or yourself there. I think doing a quick tightening of your screws, oiling / waxing your chain and adjusting your derailleur are kinda the main things you want to do, especially if the bike was standing around for a while (even more so if stored outside where the temps fluctuate even more).

DarkThoughts ,

Ehhhh. A bit late considering that Germany tried to get other countries to contribute a while ago without success. But better late than never I guess.

DarkThoughts ,

You never know when the Canadians invade!

DarkThoughts ,

Germany gave up 1/3 of their Patriots for Ukraine, along Iris-T SLM, Iris-T SLS, Gepards and Skyrangers. And if "size" is so important to you (compensating?), support by GDP of Germany is about twice as much as that of the US. You're welcome.

DarkThoughts ,

US has 40k troops stationed within Germany to defend it against Russia for which Germany does not pay... and frankly, this is a Europe problem, not US, anyway.

The US has troops in Germany because they want to. If they want to defend Europe against Russia, they should maybe sent them to a country that borders Russia. But this is one of the many garbage talking points you people try make reality for several years now.

Germany has nothing to stand on right now. Merkel leadership go it cornered to where Germany was forced by its allies to get its act straight. You don't get praised for blundering and then half assing the job until 1-2 years into the war.

Merkel hasn't been chancellor for years. No idea what the rest of your incoherent babbling is supposed to mean.

Just STFU and deliver materiel, until then Germany's reputation and geopolitcal standing is tarnished as an unreliable ally who is willing to sacrifice European security for cheap Russian gas so it can profit.

We do, we're literally the largest supporter of Ukraine in Europe, by a long shot - to the point where they make the US look weak in comparison. And sorry to disappoint, but we haven't bought any Russian gas for like a year now. Speaking of unreliable ally... Who didn't sent any aid for half a year, supporting the Russian invasion with that move? Who forced Ukraine to give up their nukes and bombers for some half assed security agreements?

DarkThoughts ,

And burn even more than pure ICEs since they also carry the added weight from the electric stuff. At a time where we need much less cars overall, including EVs.

DarkThoughts ,

Cagers have this argument of "but what if I want to do this cross country trip to bumfucknowhere" ... Similar to when asked why they can't give up their car "what if I want to transport a washing machine" ... As if those people load up their cars with 5 tons of bulky cargo and be driving around the world on a daily basis and there not being any other ways to handle such edge cases.

DarkThoughts ,

I love how you completely ignored the context of my comment and thus completely missed the point.

Do those sex dolls have replacement genitals or do people just pay thousands of bucks for what's essentially a throwaway item?

DarkThoughts ,

Doesn't matter if you pay 50 or 5000 bucks. Male sex toys are suffering from wear & tear like crazy. Ask how many dildos a women managed to destroy in comparison.

DarkThoughts ,

How is that going to fix the tears? lol

DarkThoughts ,

They block VPNs there too, even with a longer text.

DarkThoughts ,

VPNs in general and for quite a long time now.
You can use LibRedirect to use a different frontend (please note that a lot of the alternative instances for other sites are pretty much broken).

DarkThoughts ,

Dumb projection after 40 seconds of brainfarting already. Who the fuck watches those imbecile vloggers? Who the fuck cares about those randos opinions about anything?

DarkThoughts ,

That sounds like the dumbest bullshit ever. What kinda of mouse are we talking about that does not work with generic mouse drivers?!

DarkThoughts ,

That would not work under Windows either, unless you install the extra proprietary app and he specifically talked about an out of the box experience. That implies basic functionality.

DarkThoughts ,

It's not.

If LGBTQ+ people serving to defend Ukraine don't receive better legal standing than they have right now, I would be opposed to letting Ukraine join the EU after the war.

It's kinda a requirement for them to join anyway.

DarkThoughts ,

All the hassle I had to go through to tweak, fix and constantly maintain Windows was one of the major reasons why I ultimately switched to Linux on my desktop. At some point it all just becomes way too much of a hassle, much more than the tinkering I might have to do on Linux every now and then.

People constantly shit on Linux for not being as user friendly, but are completely blind to all the garbage they have to do to keep their Windows system running.
