Antiperspirant tends to be the stuff that contains concerning heavy metals. You’re supposed to be able to sweat, it’s just the stinky part that sucks haha.

Secondhand stuff can still be scrounged, but yeah, it ain’t great right now.

This too, shall pass. Somehow.

“This data center is powered entirely on streamers’ bottled used bathwater.”

Ah! Right! I completely forgot about that.

I was always of the “In remembrance of Me” interpretation. Catholicism gets pretty metal sometimes. Lol

OH YEAAAAH…I’ll admit I completely forgot about that.

I was always of the “In remembrance of Me” interpretation.

literally

Literally tho?

That would be super rad but I don’t think something like that exists yet. (Would be COOL to be wrong though!) The best I would think would be how many headsets let you look through the infrared cams.

I’d guess Steam Frame might be the best bet right now just because it’s Linux-first and open, and I think it offers an upgrade for color passthrough cameras.

“Microsoft Windows: Why wait? We broke it for you.”

then if you do fix it a damn update breaks it again!

Just fixed a fairly common issue with Windows Update on my wife’s W11 machine. Stuck at 99% forever. All you need to do is terminate the Windows Update process and try it again, or delete a cache somewhere.

Want Windows’ “official” advice if you’re “having trouble”?

Try reinstalling Windows . 😂 ROFL

Plus the bloat and spyware, ick.

I was also quite unnerved when the “location data” task item came up on startup, and listed Windows Explorer as using it for a second. Sorry what? Wtf does Explorer need location data for?

So happy to go back to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I want to convert some family members’ computers too when I finally get a chance for it.

That’s my holdout too! But then Windows forcibly removed support for WMR to paperweight those anyway, so…

What headset do you use? They just ported the Oasis driver to Linux for WMR devices (I have a Sumsung Odyssey+) and I can’t wait to try that!

There’s also the “Envision” project that streamlines getting all the drivers and builds and stuff going for various headset software on Linux. Some have better results than others. :)

Some really good guides here, and there’s also a (hrk 🤢) Discord called “Linux Vr Adventures”

Yeaaah, I know exactly what you mean. As someone who works in a public library, I realize despite lofty ideals you can’t just give the masses something awesome and expect them to take care of it. Not with modern attitudes anyway.

It’s a TON of work, expense, and management to deal with misanthropic abuse so others can enjoy it. I hope we can start to see a cultural shift where people actually see shared privileges as a shared responsibility…

For a while Gigabyte boards used this as a selling feature and I thought it was genius! Never had to use it, thankfully, but it brought some piece of mind.

That’s actually pretty reassuring! I was under the impression it was a huge flex haha. I’m curious how much practicsl speed you gain from compiling everything to your specific architecture. 🤔

“As I’ve taken to calling it”

Now I just wanna know whether GNU is Guh-noo or Juh-noo or Gee-en-yoo

Still buffering, give it a minute. It’s gotta squeeze through the tubes.

Honestly as a not-used-Gentoo person recklessly throwing around my opinion on the internet…

It sounds like either it can be “Really optimized and crazy performant if you know what you’re doing.”

Or “It’s a fun hobby because you think operating systems are fun.”

Personally it seems cool except I think I’d start to burn out fast if every package install means having to read compilation instructions and edit configs.

Maybe because my experience compiling stuff is always like “What’s your problem this time?! Okay where do I find that package version?!”

I like making mine look like “XP if I got to make it do what I want and have things like dark mode.”

I just miss the era :)
