So I actually did it and wiped my Windows PC, nothing on there I needed to keep.
Set up Fedora and added the Nvidia Drivers.
Shut down for a few days and in my next boot I downloaded CoolerControl. Then my networking died and I’m at a loss as to what happened.
And people said it was just the same as using windows, yet me a massive nerd, software developer was stuck without ever having attempted to play games.
Cross picket lines? /s
I am not American, but I believe the reason a felon can run is that the founding fathers didn’t want peoples political rivals to be able to bring charges to stop someone being president.
Thanks for sharing your experience in this world.
Do you have any idea what changed over that time to make the game evolve to lose that sense of community?
Is it a numbers thing in that it got so large it became more difficult to build longstanding communities? Or something else.
I’m just very interested in this now.
That was sad, heartwarming, and inspiring.
I’ve never been into RPGs and didn’t really understand the appeal. I now regret missing out on the communities that these games can seemingly foster. I was more into Minecraft on my own, which allowed me to escape but the loneliness was probably made worse and thus any low mood that followed.
Really glad I went against my initial instinct that I wouldn’t enjoy this programme as it was really well made.
ChatGPT spat this out.
It all began with two children on Earth, both eyes squeezed shut, hands folded tightly in prayer. One was Lucy, a ten-year-old with a sharp tongue and an encyclopedic knowledge of words. The other was Max, a quiet but determined boy who practiced his spelling with such focus that every letter felt like a victory.
Each child prayed the same thing: Please, God, let me win the spelling bee.
And God heard. But not just God—Archangels Gabriel and Michael did, too.
“Lucy’s the one,” Gabriel said, convinced. “She’s got skill, and she practices every day. Max’s heart is good, but Lucy deserves the win.”
Michael shook his head, wings bristling. “Max has worked twice as hard. He might not have Lucy’s natural talent, but his devotion should be rewarded.”
God sighed. “Then perhaps both should win,” He suggested gently.
Gabriel and Michael looked horrified.
“There can only be one winner,” Gabriel insisted. “Lucy!”
“Max!” countered Michael.
The disagreement escalated, and soon the pearly gates rang with the clash of heaven’s most loyal warriors. Thunder crackled, stars tilted in their orbits, and halos slipped crookedly from heads. An entire chorus of angels divided into factions: Team Lucy versus Team Max.
As the battle waged on, God watched from His throne, bemused, until He decided enough was enough.
He raised one hand, and instantly the clouds of battle cleared, silence swept across the heavens, and every angel dropped their weapon, ashamed.
“Whoever wins,” God said, “will do so by their own merit. Do not wage war over spelling bees.”
And so, peace returned to Heaven, and on Earth, Lucy and Max faced off at the spelling bee.
In the end, neither won. They both missed a letter and went home with heads high but humbled. And in Heaven, a truce was called—but Gabriel and Michael couldn’t help but exchange a final glance.
“Next time,” Michael whispered, “I’m praying to win.”
Edit: If you downvote this, tell me why.
I noticed this more as I worked the Genius Bar for a couple of years (UK) and the pricing was outrageous and coverage for some things refused, for example liquid damage on Apple Watch which was advertised as water resistant.
Frequently priced very close to just getting a new one on many accessories like Watch, AirPods, lore end iPads.
I don’t have figures but used to work for Apple. They sold a lot.
I would also like to clarify we were never instructed or had the desire to upsell, in fact I and I assume everybody else would downsell. If you come in for the top of the line and you tell me you’re watching YouTube then I’m down selling you.
Me when I discovered Ren a couple of days ago listening to his music constantly for two days.
You will not be disappointed if you check him out.
Disclaimer: I’m all about the lyrics, so you need to listen to it all. This guy has everything though.
Thanks. I will do.
Fair enough.
For what it’s worth if you’re happy with anti-cheat at the kernel level then crack on. If I don’t trust corporations with that level of access then that’s also fine.
This isn’t something I would ever install in my system and the two games I play Minecraft and Factorio both don’t have this issue so I’m not missing out by not playing COD 8928384 or whatever popular games use this.
You care enough to reply again.
Thanks for this.
This is something!
Maybe it’s just the Package Manager Console inside Visual Studio Professional as “add-migration” or “update-database” don’t work unless capitalised.
What distro would you recommend, I’m prepared to try over the weekend.
How does it work with GPU drivers for a GeForce RTX 4080?
Anything else I need to be aware of
What are you writing code for?
I literally can’t think of an example where ssh’ing into a terminal is going to give good workflow. Just using Nano or Vi?
Like no IDE.
Makes sense for sysadmin or something but little sense for developers and engineers writing code to build enterprise software.
Not enough observation to read this room aye.
Which isn’t specifically about sleep or anything.
I believe it means God willing.
Mashallah is similar and means something like God willed it (made it happen).
