Yeah some softwares are also just bad at handling this stuff on startup I guess. Visual studio fucks up the code window’s scaling all the time for me. UE4 used to literally never open a window with the correct scaling on my second (smaller) monitor window too but it got a lot better with UE5

That 2nd monitor window thing sounds like a DPI scaling issue, especially if your main screen has different scaling than the one causing issues. I get this a lot at work because of my setup and the software I use (on windows btw) and I got so used to manually moving the window and smashing it against the top of the screen to maximize it that I don’t really mind. But maybe the term can help you troubleshoot it further

Works pretty well on pop!_os (with X) barring some oddities that I’m not even sure are specific to Nvidia cards (like the compositor losing its shit when I try to pop out a video from my browser and put it over a game’s window)

(I’m generally not a fan of Cloudflare, because its man-in-the-middle position between users and services has grown to an unhealthy scale, making it ripe for dragnet surveillance and other abuses. But it would be even worse if it was actively helping these greedy, predatory corporations dodge the law.)

You cannot convince me that it’s not literally a NSA front at this point.

Seasoning my oven like the cast iron diehards season their skillets

The “without an MS account” is the hard part. Don’t you have to basically use a hidden debug feature to actually do that on install in windows 11 ? And then if it’s anything like windows 10, they might trick you into tying the OS to your account if you log into it for visual studio/office/Windows store or whatever, that happened to me on my laptop and it was a major pain in the ass to revert

Don’t assume even your own country is trustworthy in this.

My country is one of the world leaders in mass spying software development and even gave themselves the right to basically do deep packet inspections on everything going through it a long time ago, so…

Ah yes, thank you, it was indeed some American problem I was too European to understand

Wait what ? I thought the vast majority of dishwashers had internal heating to avoid exactly these kind of issues

<rant> It’s not actually that powerful, but it does work like this to some extent (and of course the “official” lore is pretty vague about it and sometimes contradicts itself).

The way I see it, they can’t just pick up a stick and turn it into a rifle by believing that it is one, but they have some inherent collective knowledge of mechanics that allows them to make the technology even though their intellect should definitely be a huge hurdle, and if they collectively believe hard enough that, for example, the (hand made) barrel of their gun that should be way off tolerance is actually a proper gun barrel, it will work as intended and only blow up after emptying 20 mags instead of instantly</rant>

I was lazy and went with pop!_os. Required minimal tweaking, and so far there are very few games I couldn’t run

I legit think this is the pivotal moment where everything started going downhill (at first, so slowly that we didn’t notice, but downhill still)

My riot song of choice is Refused - New Noise. But that’s mostly because I listened to RATM so much that it kinda “dulled” most of their songs for me.

Lai Lai Hei - Ensiferum is my go to these days.

I can’t listen to them for hours like I used to or I might get a migraine but god damn, I don’t care how cheesy it is, that chorus still gives me chills

It’s an unintended consequence of the original game’s design (DOTA), but yeah, by giving you 4 teammates who can all have a big impact on the outcome of the game, it makes it very easy for your brain to blame anyone but yourself when something goes wrong

As far as I know, right now the main problem with flying cars is that they are nowhere near as idiot-proof as a normal car, and don’t really solve any transportation problem since most countries’ air regulations agencies would require them to exclusively take off and land in airports… Where you can usually find tons of planes that can go much further (and are much more cost effective, as you pointed out)

simple and boring is perfect, as long as it tastes great.

As a Regina enjoyer I agree 100%

It’s not uncommon to see people expressing disdain for other distros. I feel like it’s tongue in cheek 99% of the time though

I think so, but most devs don’t enable it. I read somewhere else on Lemmy that it was actually enabled before the 1896 update and that they disabled it so I didn’t even try, but I guess I was just tired as fuck (very real possibility lately) OR someone was spreading misinformation on the Internet
