The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

Looks pretty good except for the obnoxiously placed

LMAO spot on!

Looks ready to me /s

Boromir didn’t grow up in the kingdom of Jondor.

I don’t have any issue with it myself, I think it’s a great idea.

These acronyms I’ve never seen before and have never been used by the bot:

a11y

i18n

l10n

Yep, all I have ever seen from that website is articles making grand statements based on protondb statistics that don’t support them. At least now they have a list of disclaimers at the top that let you know reading the rest of the article is pointless.

Even their disclaimers are biased though like “This may not be completely representative of all Linux gamers either.”. Ooh, “may not be”, you don’t say… I would guesstimate that not even 20% of Linux gamers make reports on protondb.

Also, ignoring all the misuse and misunderstanding of statistics, who cares what distro is supposedly most popular. Use what works for you.

Cool story bro.

Conjecture (and largely unfounded at that) isn’t evidence. I’d bet money that you don’t even have the ability to evaluate the project to determine if it’s being vibe-coded (as it seems is the case for everyone raging about this).

Lol, I’m not a court of law, I’m a person.

Get lost with this deflection crap. You’re the one who was making a definitive statement (“The project is being taken over by vibe coders, yay.”) about a widely respected figure responsible for creating one of the most used pieces of software ever (not to mention Samba too) who IMO deserves the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

I merely asked you to provide evidence to back up your statement and clearly you’re unable to do that. Don’t try to push it back onto me trying to make me seem unreasonable for asking.

Avowed

I’m about 20hrs in now and still early in the second zone. I’m a big fan of the combat (playing as a wizard). The world is beautiful, NPC design is great, scenery is gorgeous. I’m not sure about the story so far (not that it’s bad). The one definite downside so far is the performance. I had to use Optiscaler to force FSR4 upscaling (I have a RX9070) and FSR4 frame gen just to get over 100FPS.

So no evidence at all then, gotcha.

No idea lol

I just wanted a rename utility and Arch didn’t have the GUI one I used on Mint so I gradually pieced some of this stuff together. If there’s one source online that lays it all out I haven’t found it yet!

If you’d like me to explain the one here I’ll do my best ;)

Edit: nvm, I edited the original comment to explain everything

Ahh, mine are definitely not noise cancelling. I’m not putting up with much noise at night, it’s just the slightest sound from neighbours (which most people wouldn’t even hear) will stop me sleeping. Fortunately it’s usually silent here at night and I only need them sometimes!

Tested this with perl-rename and it seems to work fine:

perl-rename -n 's/.* (\d{1,2}).* (\d{1,2})/sprintf "S%02dE%02d",$1,$2/e' *

-n does a test-run and shows you the results, remove it to do the actual rename

‘s/ text to find / text to replace it with / modifier’ is the format used

. represents any single character

‘*’ matches the previous character 1 or more times

'.* ’ matches any series of characters before a space

() encloses something you want to keep

\ is the escape character

d represents any number

{1,2} means the number will be 1 or 2 digits

In the sprintf, %02d is to format each number with 2 digits.

$1 and $2 pass the first and second values enclosed in parentheses from the first argument into the 2 d’s in the “S%02dE%02d” of the second argument.

This link has a better explanation of the /e modifier than I could give you xD

Works for me too (on Mullvad - Brussels).

The project is being taken over by vibe coders, yay.

Evidence?

they actually let you own the game

Let’s be clear. Both Steam and GoG sell you the same licence for a game.

Steam comes with optional DRM that requires you to use the Steam client. Whether or not this DRM is present on a game is the publisher’s decision, not Steam’s.

Steam could certainly be criticised for providing the functionality but it’s not mandatory.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam for instance has no DRM and can be run without Steam. Even if a game has Steam DRM it’s usually trivial to bypass it.

They’re basically a headband with flat headphones inside so quite comfy even for side sleeping (as I do). Just search on Amazon or wherever for sleep headphones. I have an older version of these.

What I’ve learned is that headphones are my friend. I have them for the PC, the TV, for outside and even for sleeping. I’d go nuts without them.

While you’re listening to music or whatever on your headphones, play a youtube video of brown noise in the background too. That should help drown it out.

I completely agree. I just thought it important to be accurate with these criticisms.

Good on ya for the edit :)
