Given how fucking shitty that brand is in terms of quality, they must not contribute very much.

For the most part, it works better on Linux using GE-Proton than it did on Windows. But there are some weird issues with the Action Camera:

If you talk to an NPC with it active, you sometimes have to alt-tab to get it back, and if you have multiple monitors, sometimes your cursor will zip off to said monitor.

Other than that, it runs flawlessly!

Linux culture is about freedom of choice and movement. Any project can be forked, tweaked, expanded, or outright overhauled by anybody with the know-how in order to meet specific use cases. And those use cases are often the same as other's use cases. But in most cases, they are still rooted in the project they forked from. I.E, any guide that applies to Ubuntu is likely going to apply to Pop!_OS or Mint, since they're based on Ubuntu. So there's rarely a downside to niche distros, because you can have something that's close enough to a popular distro but that caters to your unique needs and wants.

For me, for example, I use Nobara. It's rather niche and in most cases, it either works beautifully for you, or it doesn't work at all, honestly. But it's based on Fedora, so any guide for Fedora is likely to apply to Nobara. I get all the benefits of being on Fedora with tweaks and patches that make my gaming experience much more stable. And quite frankly, Nobara has made my rig run the best it ever has.

The last straw for me was that Amazon drivers always seem to have some kind of problem finding my apartment. So even though instructions say "leave at my door," it always ends up in Parcel Pending on the other side of my complex.

NOBODY ELSE has an issue finding my apartment: UPS, USPS, Uber Eats, even fucking Door Dash! But I might as well be living in the Bermuda Triangle to Amazon, so WTF was I paying for Prime for?

And honestly, like so many others, I've found it not even the least bit tempting to go back. Ebay has been a reliable alternative.

I think I'm somewhat in the same boat. I've got one metamor that I talk to and is even in my Pathfinder game with my partners and seems to have taken an interest in me.

The others I get along with, but we don't talk too often.

Todoist. It's nothing to do with "productivity" per se, but that is a benefit I've reaped.

Instead of having to remember what feels like 100 things all the time and doing 2 of them, I just remember the app. And it's a hell of a lot less stressful. The sub-task function also helps simplify larger things and makes them simpler to tackle. It's a game changer as an AuDHD individual.

I would vastly prefer that gas cars be phased out. But I believe that this is a bit different:

Cigarettes don't offer any benefit beyond making you "feel good." And you don't need cigarettes to feel good, and, in fact, literally any other option is better for both you, and everyone around you, save for harder drugs.

Gasoline cars, while poisonous to the world around us, also offer us far greater benefits: supplies and logistics, we can carry goods further, wider, and faster than we ever could without them. And because of that, without them, sure we'd pollute a lot less, but then we'd have a far harder time carrying critical resources to more remote parts of the world where trains and planes can't reach, and people would starve or lack critical medicine.

As it stands, EVs are not a reliable substitute. They're getting there, I want them to get there, but I disagree with the notion that cars should be made illegal as things currently stand. I don't think it's nearly as cut and dry as cigarettes are. I can only hope to live long enough to see a world where gas powered cars could be outlawed without leaving hundreds of millions of people high and dry.

Surprised to see no one has said cigarettes yet. Not only are you poisoning yourself, it's harmful to everyone else around you that has to inhale that shit.

I heavily agree with this. If there's one thing I've learned about video games and gamers, it's that people who are happy with their games, are playing their games! The people who aren't happy, are going to Reddit and the forums to bitch and moan. The anti-"woke" crowd is fueled by outrage. And that's all it is: senseless outrage. There's no substance to it. Let them scream into the void until they tire themselves out.

Just another in an on-going series of "rich bastards figuring out that there's no more money to take."

Why does this guy look like Vauthry from FFXIV?

Forget not working. It's not even that I want to not work. I just want to not struggle to survive. I don't want to have to work a gruelling 40 hours every goddamn week. I want to have the time to pursue other means of work, to contribute to society as a whole, not just to one, single company! Yeah, being able to have more time off would be great, but I don't want to not work, I want to be able to contribute in my own ways too. And I can't do that when I'm working 40 hours and still living fucking paycheck to paycheck.
