Yeah dude

Alacritty because I like how it handles bitmap fonts and I need bitmap fonts in my life.

Comrades, I sincerely apologize for any psychic damage taken from being exposed to my fellow countryman’s takes

imagine not knowing that the wrong side won the civil war

Mint is cool, linux is cool, and you are cool too. Enjoy

It does yeah, but not for applications running in XWayland. For example, I’m running a secondary 4k monitor with 1.5x scaling so it matches the other 1440p monitor. For native wayland applications, everything works just fine, but running an XWayland application on the 4k monitor will make it render at 1440p and become a blurry nasty mess. In KDE it will render in proper 4k (as if it was native a Wayland window), because they’ve somehow worked around that issue.

KDE’s VRR and XWayland fractional scaling implementations are pretty dope. Wlroots pls

I was at a wedding once and some random cool dude who sat next to me used the term “historical materialism” so that seemed pretty obvious.

I love arch and I’m incredibly biased, but here goes. I have used Arch exclusively for the past n years. All of the things you’ve mentioned will work great. The AUR absolutely rules. It’s rather similiar to Void in the sense that it’s a completely blank slate, so it’s going to be as unique an experience as you make it.

Arch is really stable and reliable as long as you don’t break it, really. Out of the handful of times I’ve fucked up my install, all of them have been my own fault. Fortunately Arch is (relatively) easy to fix: keep a live USB on hand and chroot into your physical drive with arch-chroot and unfuck whatever needs unfucking. I haven’t ever had to completely start over from scratch a single time. It’s a learning experience!

Go for it, I say. Try it in a VM beforehand if you gotta.

I wonder if he knows that the woman (Tove Jansson) who made the character in this ridiculous idiot’s avatar (Snusmumriken) was in an “intimate relationship” with another woman? Do you think he’d be upset if he knew that?

So far at my current job I’ve dealt with five different PMs.

The first one is really good. Used to be a dev. Big fuck-work-energy. They handle all the administrative bullshit that I don’t know or care about. They check in on the devs every now and then. Lots of constructive feedback and praise. They managed to make some kind of contract with the customer that pretty enabled me to do jack shit and get paid for it most of the time without anyone raising eyebrows.

The second one is good, pretty average PM. Used to be a dev themselves since the 90’s, so they understand the developer’s point of view. Easy to work with.

The third one is just kind of there. Handles the admin stuff and that’s it. The devs (i.e. I) do most of the interactions with the customer, since the PM doesn’t really know wtf the project is even about.

The fourth one isn’t even there. Sometimes I don’t even know if they’ve quit or what, because I never see or hear from them. The ultimate quiet quitter. Once they showed up to some friday afternoon function, said “sup?” chugged a beer and devoured a pizza in ten seconds (rolled it up and ate it like a burrito!!), and went home. My main inspiration, my number one career goal.

The fifth one was garbage though. Made all sorts of unrealistic promises to the customers and took it out on the devs when we couldn’t deliver in time. They quit at some point, and the project transfered to PM #1.

Remember! If you see someone shoplifting, you didn’t.

I’m not 100% sure but I think it was dropped a couple of years ago. Plenty of war memorials over here still have at least one swastika on them though

I’ve been fucking around a lot with this same stuff on a similar setup (6900XT, sway, M27QP, Arch 6.4 tkg-pds). I managed to make it work more or less flawlessly. Here’s how I did it:

• I use MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% in Steam to run my games.

• When Gamemode runs, it’s configured to enable adaptive_sync, start gpu-screen-recorder, and run a script that sets pp_power_profile_mode to 1 and power_dpm_force_performance_level to high. As @Atemu mentioned, there’s some kind of bug with amdgpu, so by default the power management will be all over the place.

• The built-in frame limiter in some games (e.g. Apex Legends, Risk of Rain 2) can cause stutter for some reason I don’t understand. V-Sync also had stutter and also caused noticeable input lag. The solution was to use MangoHud’s frame limiter with fps_limit=165 in MangoHud.conf.

• This patch fixes the mouse move VRR issue. There’s instructions on how to apply it if you scroll down a bit. If it still doesn’t work right, try launching sway with WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 sway. No need to disable direct scanout either.

Let me know if it works!

“Tuning” is a pretty good one really, since it’s also a car modding thing, right? (I’m not good with cars.)

Oh, shit, I never thought of that. Thanks for pointing it out

The final encounter has some absolute banger dialogue though, specifically

I am a large adult person and I legitimately hold these opinions. I understand it’s an extremely common reaction to immediately dismiss something as completely absurd nonsense when it contradicts your established world-view. I didn’t become a communist overnight because of spicy memes or to become edgy, but through years of educating myself on the matter. Communism as a concept has existed for a long time now, and it’s not going to go anywhere. I’d recommend you at least try to understand it, even though you’ll never agree with it.

I think it’s time to throw in the towel, comrade. Extremely good posting, though.

I’ve posted this same comment before I think, but I have to do it again: God damn do I wish I could go through life like this. Anything even remotely threatening to my world-view = bot, absolute drivel, automatic and instant disregard. A cozy little bubble where everything I believe is always good and right, and everything else is bots.
