Nvidia 4070 super.
I don’t remember the other details off the top of my head. Discord had me run sudo apt install linux-image-oem-24.04b and that fixed the Ethernet. They didn’t really explain details, though. Maybe there were more things to do, but I didn’t get more responses so I was on my own.
I think people over value emotions, but I realize I’m part of people too and it happens to me. Emotions are a fast heuristic but they’re not very inaccurate. They’re good for when speed is important, or when more information isn’t available. Neither is true on an async post about Linux. But yes, I can be dismissive of emotions but it’s something I’m working on.
I’ve seen too many people make strange, unhelpful, decisions because like “someone told me to do something and now I won’t” or “that guy was rude so I’m not going to listen”. That’s what your post felt like to me. (Note the emotional dimension there, heh)
Like, imagine a friend who always forgets their plans, is late, and double books themselves. You probably can’t just be like “use a calendar, dude”. You probably have to gently massage them and incept the idea. If you just tell them, they’ll feel bad, reject the idea, and continue having problems. (In real life, some months later the friend did come around to using a calendar, but only after uselessly wrestling with feeling bad)
So far this has been the smoothest installation of a Linux OS I have ever done.
Envy. I tried to install mint last night on a new computer, and it was a shit show.
I did learn you can tether your phone via USB, so I got Internet that way. That was cool.
But after I got Internet working, with help from discord, elden ring and Baldur’s gate 3 both failed to launch in different ways.
I gave up. Windows11 is horrible, but at least those things work.
I’m on Mint. It only offered up to version 550 and veilguard needed 565, if I recall
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=433321 was more or less my problem.
I could only find “beta” drivers that were new enough to run Veilguard, which was annoying. I had to add some other ppa thing. Not a big deal, but would scare off some users.
You did come off as someone who reacts only on emotion, since that’s all that was visible in your previous post.
Being put off by the delivery of information is not typically a good reason to dismiss it. If someone says to you “3 is a prime number you donkey” you’re hopefully not going to reject that because they were rude. I mean, we all do that to some extent, but it’s a pretty sloppy shortcut.
I switched to linux because Windows10 is going EoL, and my hardware is ineligible for Windows11. It’s been fine, once I got it set up. There wasn’t any single thing that pushed me over the edge. I just had a free weekend and I knew I had to do it eventually.
I really wanted the install to be smooth so I could tell everyone how great it was. It was not. Somehow it borked itself, and I couldn’t boot from the usb stick a 2nd time until after I manually edited a file on it. Then installer hung on the last step, and I couldn’t find any answers other than “Use the previous LTS”. At least that worked.
I always find it puzzling when adults act like “You told me to do a thing so now I don’t want to do it” or “You said a thing that’s true, but in a way that made me feel bad so I refuse to accept it”. What’s going on in there?
Related question, do you think in words or feelings? Some people have a whole inner monologue, and some people do not. Some people think in pictures, or just wordless impulses.
If there’s going to be fantasies about murder, can his whole posse go out?
Where would you lay the blame?
And how is that hypothetical response “intellectually dishonest”?
I thought we had all reached consensus that style is more important than realism. And you can do style without mega hardware.
On the other hand, the fidelity in bg3 I think added something to it. I don’t think it would have been the same experience if they were simple sprites like the original games. Is it worth all the hardware? Maybe.
I WANT SHORTER GAMES
Can I have my cake and eat it too? I want games with a short critical path, but satisfying ways to spend more time with it if it’s fun.
So like interesting NG+ stuff, boss rush modes, different builds, whatever.
They can be killed in their homes, too.
I had a shower thought the other day that if more CEOs were shot dead, there’d probably be less Return to Office.
People are sometimes like “oh but violence is bad!” but ignore all the casual harms inflicted on people by capitalism and friends.
I’m an outlier in that I buy music on Bandcamp. Renting music feels like a bad deal to me, but for some people it might work out.
I think I repeat listen to albums a lot more than I repeat watch stuff.
Still, I’d consider a service that was like “pay $10 for this movie and it’s yours, drm free, forever”. A quick search shows WandaVision on DVD is like $50, and you’d have to like rip and self host yourself to stream it.
I think the subscription model is often user hostile, but it’s very lucrative
People just want all their shit in one place for a reasonable fee.
One problem with this is that monopolies are bad.
I’m not sure what the ideal solution is. It’s not “12 different services each charging $12/month” though.
I don’t think regular capitalism can really solve this.
My work uses python and it hasn’t been bad for new code that has tests and types. Old code we inherited from contractors and “yolo startup” types is less good, but we’ve generally be improving that as we touch it.
Interesting. I’ve never felt a need for this, and as the other reply here said it was really unpopular in other languages.
I would have guessed you would have said something about how it’s annoying to type callable arguments, and how Protocol exists but doesn’t seem that widely known.
Why would you add two arrays like that? Because I want to combine two lists.
The is operator is for identity, not equality. Your example is just using it weirdly in a way that most people wouldn’t do.
No because I am not using Python to make a web app. That’s not the only thing people write you know… Most of what I’ve worked on has been webapps or services that support them :shrug:
Typescript and Python there’s absolutely no way I’d pick Python (unless it was for AI).
Agree to disagree then. We could argue all day but I think it’s mostly opinion about what warts and tradeoffs are worth it, and you don’t seem like you have no idea what you’re talking about. Sometimes I meet junior developers who have only ever used javascript, and it’s like (to borrow another contentious nerd topic) like meeting someone who’s only ever played D&D talking about game design.
I turn it off every night when I’m done. It boots quickly and I mostly just use it for the web browser and steam.
My work computer (Mac) I put to sleep because I don’t always want to open all the terminals and IDE and such every time.
