man this states barely got electricity and internet up here and people be trying to get drone shows lmao.

It’ll be another 5-10 years before its mainstream here

To me the graphics are turn off for me, just judging by trailer you have very old style Graphics which are cool so like your town and your party is a rimworld style Graphics which I’m on board with and then you go out on the trail and suddenly you have full-on shadered water and an actual detailed scenery background, but your party is still in that old style graphics? I’m really hoping they ironed that out before launch because it looks absolutely horrible

Honestly I think instead of banning non-competes they should just make it a hard requirement that a non-compete must be X percentage(no smaller then 30 or 40%) of your salary per year for the non-compete. Which in my opinion is fair because the entire point of a non-compete because you know information that a competitor could use that would give them a financial advantage so it makes sense that they would have to pay for your silence that you’re not going to give that information away. If a company is saying they’re not willing to pay that money that means the information you know isn’t enough for them to care about so a non-compete shouldn’t be in place in the first place

Like I’ve seen it non-compete clauses for web designers, which I find absolutely fucking ridiculous because there is little nothing that a web developer should be able to learn about a company that would financially harm it by going elsewhere, it’s clear in those cases that those complete clauses are exclusively there as a trap to try to make it so their devs don’t leave. The arguments those companies use is that there’s financial incentive for that compromise. So a “well yeah you can do non-competes but they must be paid” will more or less blow their entire argument out of the water.

Personally I think if something similar like that gets implemented, you’ll see a lot of the jobs that currently have a non-compete as part of their onboarding process will magically lose that as a requirement

You are missing part of that definition the full definition is as follows

something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest

A clickbait does not have to have information that contains dubious value or interest, it just frequently does.

You could make it seem less click baity by removing the question part of the title, have the title be a statement instead of something that forces the reader to have to try to answer the question.

Please note that I’m referring exclusivley to what the title of this post is, the actual video linked seems to have a good title because it’s very clear going into it when it’s going to be about. The linked videos title is kind of clickbait but I think since it ends with rumors and speculations and it’s very clearly showing an opinionated background that is fine.

That being said, I liked the video, thank you for it.

I have attempted every solution I have found so far on remapping the channels for my headset including adding specific device profiles for it, none of worked so far. My current solution is patchwork that was supposed to split them by adding a device profile that knows how the device is to separate them(because it uses a dual channel layout, one stereo one mono iirc with one being chat and the other game), but it lacks the ability to handle/process those channels as a whole so I only can use one of the two channels at a time but since I at least have one channel that’s functional I have mostly given up on it. It’s just annoying cause that was the main reason for getting this headset, the ability to have a chat mixer to change voice call volume and game volume separately, it’s one of the few things that worked flawlessly on windows that I have been unable to get to work on the new system. I’m glad that you could find a solution that worked for you though, I have had no luck lol

that being said, if you know of a non-cli method of setting up pulseaudio custom profiles, I’m down to try that as well, maybe I just screwed my custom profiles up somewhere.

Yeah that’s my fault, I wasn’t clear with what type of support I was talking about, I should have put that line at the end of the paragraph that way it was clear I was talking about compatibility as the rest of that paragraph was and not software support.

But for the sake of responding to that comment, if we are talking about actual user support and not power user support, I think you’ll find it hard to do the exact same things you have listed there under any of the other distributions, especially if it’s using pulse audio or pipe wire as that’s actually one of the issues that I encountered switching off of windows, as my headset has a double Channel mixer on it that separates chat and game and nothing so far has been able to properly identify it as that and I had to actually go in and tell it that it had two channels and even then the current GUI programs available are not able to handle it, so if I change anything it resets it again

GTA 5 is one of the worst easily, as someone who really doesn’t give a shit about multiplayer, there really isn’t much for me to do in it lol

something similar happens with Debian 12 currently, it’s super obnoxious and has made me seriously reconcider using Firefox. It freezes all Firefox windows, you can close them but it no longer updates the icons as you hover, nor let’s you do anything in Firefox, and if left unchecked will eventually hard crash plasma

it may also look like the YouTube bell, not every app supports it though, usually it’s only apps that give you an ability to do something, but it’s not accessed by hold pressing it, you click the little arrow to the right of the notice and then it appears

an emote or shorthand message suffices fine for one off messages that don’t need to have an actual response I’ve found.

message: “I’m home now”

reply: 👍 or 👀 or even a “nice!”

I mean if it ain’t broke don’t fix it lmao we manage oil maintenance on our vehicles the same way, we have a wooden board at the back of the garage and we use a Sharpie to draw on that wooden board the mileage of the last oil change for each vehicle

I have ADHD myself, so I understand how it is to struggle to concentrate, but I also respond to a message as soon as I read it, I find it super disrespectful for someone to not at least acknowledge that they have read the comment, even if it is a simple “hey I read it but I can’t reply right now”

In my eye communication is a two-way street and it’s a form of respect between both parties and if one end of the party isn’t going to respect the conversation enough to at least acknowledge it, then you start questioning if it’s worth engaging in the conversation in the first place.

Personally I would rather be told hey sorry I didn’t get your message till now, rather then learn that they had read the post, didn’t say anything and then forgot to reply later. It’s a slap to the face.

addition: It’s just a minor pet peeve of mine, it is also the reason why I try to avoid any platform that has read receipt notices, because in my opinion it just information that the sender really shouldn’t know in the first place because it opens them up to knowing it was read they just didn’t bother responding

It’s one of my pet peeves as well, I’m one of the people that if I read a post I try to reply to it as soon as possible, balanced communication is a form of respect between two parties. While this doesn’t mean you need to respond to the post immediately, reading the post and then choosing not to reply to it or delaying it till you forget to, in my opinion is disrespectful to the person who sent you the message

I never understood this, if you read the msg, why not just respond to the msg, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard this either, like “I read your text but forgot to reply”… ok so why not just reply to the text when you read it that way you can’t forget to later lmao

It saves us so much hassle for both parties in the long run

I agree with the waste of money, I like them but they are far too expensive to be worth it.

as for the environmental impact, I don’t really care, there are far worse things that people could be focusing on environmental wise instead of things that help bring joy in this already gloom world. I would prefer efforts be wasted on that then wasted on trying to ruin others fun.

wow imagine that, the walled garden stalling something that breaches it’s walls. Who woulda thought this outcome would happen.

Actually since their permanent non-removable drives, I would say wherever you want to place them, if they’re meant primarily for storing user-based data you can do like what I used to do which was store them in within the home directory just as specific names. Like my old setup before I went proxmox was /backups was my backup drive, /home was my home drive that stored most of my users /home/steam held all my game server drive and /home/storage held my long term cold storage drive.

Honestly, privacy and freedom of choice alone is why I switched back.

I will give windows credit, it’s definitely better than any other platform out there when it comes to support and it is really nice just having things “just work”. I went relatively 8 years having almost zero issues with gaming with the exception of my graphics driver which was a fault of AMD not necessarily Microsoft. All I would have to do is install a program maybe restart the computer and then run the program the way I went. With my current system I can’t even guarantee if the software I want to use will work because the ecosystem is geared towards Microsoft so every product out there is Microsoft first Unix if we get around to it.

My only reason for switching was the lack of choice I was getting. While I never had to restart for updates because it automatically updated nightly when I turned it off so it was very non-invasive, the fact that I I wasn’t trusted enough with my computer to be able to turn those updates completely off if I wanted to, on top of the fact that every major update seemed to hard push the office suite, and every update seemed to respect my privacy less and less was already putting me on the edge of switching every time that I had it happened to me.

But the recent rumor wave that was going through that Windows 10 when it reached end of life wasn’t going to be the same way that every other OS that they’ve had has been where they will release security updates past closing and instead they’re going to open the business only support tier to your Standard customer and offer Windows 10 at a subscription price instead, on top of the fact that Windows 11 wasn’t going to support how I wanted to set my computer up without having to reinstall it anyway, I just took the plunge and went back to Linux. Overall it has been enjoyable, but I really do miss the ease of being able to just install something and have it work that comes with being in the dominant ecosystem. That being said, It is nice not having to worry about what a mega company thinks I should run the computers that I paid for, built, and set up myself.

It all depends on your threat model, I own my Hardware as well but I’m still not going to use a software that is shown to me that they don’t take security seriously but I’m also more paranoid than most
