Ah yes that sounds like an incredibly safe idea.

Privacy isn't a binary choice. Obviously I would love for there to be an alternative to Google Pay but no such service exists.

The most private form of payment is to use cash but that's just hugely inconvenient in 2024. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to pay from my phone when I don't have my wallet on me but custom ROMs don't allow it.

Can we just ban them entirely? Horrible cars.

I'd have rather seen Google Pay support than Android Auto though I imagine it's a lot less feasible.

What can I say? I had a laptop with Vista pre-installed and it was fine.

Vista was fine. I never had any issues.

8 and 8.1 is a shame. Best versions if Windows we've ever had.

Flatpaks are a lot easier than appimages though I still default to my distros native packages if available.

I buy it for classics.

I usually go for incredibly inhumanly muscley male characters but occasionally play as a woman for variety.

PopOS and Manjaro are two I never liked.

For some reason I'm particularly keen on Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor at the moment. No idea why but it did just turn 20 years old.

 

Hi guys,

An interesting issue here that I wonder if anyone will have a solution to. I have quite a varied controller collection that I like to swap between somewhat regularly. My go to at the moment is the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro which is plug and play with no issues. Another controller that I occasionally like to use is the GameSir G7 and this controller doesn't work at all out of the box in Linux. To get the G7 to work I have to install xone, but in doing so the Flydigi stops working entirely.

Is there a happy medium in terms of controller drivers or am I better off just choosing one controller and sticking with it?

 

Hi guys.

I've finally returned to Linux gaming after a year hiatus back on Windows but currently have been unable to play anything due to Steam's shader caching. Trying to launch a game means I have to sit and leave my PC on for hours (I gave up after 2) just whilst the progress bar slowly goes up. I made sure background caching was on in the settings and even added a config file to enable more threads as I saw suggested online but after leaving Steam open overnight I'm still unable to play any games.

This wasn't an issue when I was dailying Linux a year ago so I'm assuming something in Proton must've changed?

 

I legitimately find it difficult to long term stay annoyed with people who have wronged me. I have close friends and family telling me how ridiculous it is I'm still in touch and friendly with people I used to consider friends but briefly cut them out after they treated me horribly. I can see the logic and feel as though I SHOULD hate certain people for how they've been in the past but I just don't feel any anger or resentment and am quite happy to just forget the past. Is this weird and/or unhealthy?
