This has to be my favorite thing about Jeff Geerling vs other YouTube channels, he’ll make an accompanying blog post to go with each of his main channel videos that is effectively an annotated text version of the video with appropriately embedded images and links.

OP’s post is about fortnite, the top commenter of this comment chain added on a link about Twitter. Both are about a supposedly popular thing being overwhelmingly just full of bots. What’s not to get?

This story is from May 30th. Is this a repost?

Good point

Nextdoor is an absolute black hole social media site, it absorbs the worst of humanity so we don’t have to see them anywhere else.

Seems like you can drill a hole in the bottom to make it drain more effectively and reduce the chance of mold buildup

Personally I just installed Mint instead of Windows. If you back up your important files to an external drive, then what’s the harm? Even if you need to go back to Windows, that’s just another USB flash drive setup.

And also like, used at all.

They tried. They really, really tried.

Furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed these people suck

We have them in written language, though?

FYI, it would almost certainly cause no damage. 91% isopropyl alcohol evaporates extremely fast and with no electricity flowing it couldn’t short anything.

DXVK is not “Proton’s fixes”. It exists as a separate entity whose development Valve has helped fund and who Valve devs have directly contributed to.

Proton’s fixes are out-of-tree tweaks to DXVK, Wine and VKD3D that, put together, make games work much more seamlessly and smoothly than they otherwise would.

I used to use Lutris, but I found Heroic more consistent and convenient for filling the same purpose. It’s quite good at downloading just the diff needed for GoG game updates these days, for instance, which is key for big games like Baldur’s Gate 3.

Agreed. Proton is important as a bit of an “iPhone moment” where all this tech comes together in a way where non-techies “get it” in the sense where they understand why it’s useful, even if they’ll never bother to learn the details of why or how.

Proton is Wine plus DXVK and VKD3D, as well as a big pile of little tweaks and out of tree changes that Valve maintains to specifically maximize game compatibility and performance.

Proton uses Wine, which is a Windows system call API translation layer for Linux. In other words, it translates commands for the Windows kernel into calls for the Linux kernel.

So it’s kind of an emulator and kind of not, but regardless the metaphor of a translator is fine. As a lightweight translator, you might say it’s like using Google Translate on your phone to translate back and forth quickly and automatically, rather than having a person in the middle who needs to think about it.

Look into Lenire. First FDA-approved treatment

For browsers, in general, flatpak and snap are worse than native packages.
