My commute; this is a fun way to show how car centric America is lol

Can I get a summary of what’s going on in Chinese Linux land? That seems pretty interesting; I always wonder what programs the East uses vs the West

I get ai being an existential threat to most of the denizens of lemmy (overwhelmingly techy and left leaning) but ai vastly simplified the Linux install process for me. I took a c++ class 10 years ago that I failed and that was about the extent of my programming knowledge so without AI it would’ve been a nightmare trying to get everything set up. Gemini remembered what distro I was installing, my drives and their /dev/ name or whatever, how I should insert those into fstab, why grub wasn’t picking up my nobara install, etc. AI might be useless in other situations but computer commands and troubleshooting I think it’s the one place it excels.

Wish they were more widespread. Closest to me is… 800 miles away? Was nice when I was near one.

Thanks for the response, definitely helpful! My follow up to that would be I’m still not sure how updating would work if I run the command you posted. Once I run that in the terminal, how do I know when there is an update for firefox? Will firefox just tell me like in windows, and update itself? Do I need to run a specific command in the terminal to prompt updates?

While I have you here too, I’ve just found one more bug that’s been bothering me… In the application launcher, when I try to use the scroll bar the cursor won’t select the bar itself, instead just defaulting to resizing the window. Any ideas on that? It’s kind of a pain but I could live with it. Googling again didn’t really bring up anything conclusive. Here’s a clip to see what I’m talking about. Thank you again!

I’m in KDE 6.3.4, but I think maybe just the flatpak version I have was bad? Using the executable from mozilla themselves doesn’t seem to replicate the issue…

Thanks for helping!

I’m on KDE Plasma 6.3.4 with Wayland, using an Nvidia GPU, 4080 super. Checking that about page, it says it’s using wayland as well. I’m using flatpak firefox version 138.0.4.

I really can’t peg what causes it. I have two monitors, and my non primary one seems worse than the other. My primary display will only do it occasionally, but scrolling through youtube on the other will basically always cause the issue. Like I said, I’ve only seen it happen with firefox so it has to be something weird with the install. Is there a different way to install firefox other than a flatpak? Googling that…

Ok, I’m not sure why I didn’t try this, but I downloaded just the linux …exe? Program? from the firefox website and it seems like the glitch is nonexistent on that version. My next question would be how different is that from the flatpak? What’s the difference? Do I need to do something else for updates?

Thanks for the response, no dice though.

Like where?

“No officer, this fully assembled PC with no boxes or receipts was definitely brought from America, the country I am now returning to.”

Incredibly so, so much that it kinda makes me doubt it. What causes foldable phones to be such a success in Asia? All my time in NA/EU and I’ve seen like 5 in the wild.

Literally me lol. I built a brand new Nvidia machine last year, tried a few distros and just had nonstop issues with games. Which became me googling reddit forums for fix actions and advice, which would just be try a new a distro or run these commands that breaks something else so another thing works. I love foss and what it represents, but I’m not a software guy nor do I have time to waste hours googling why kingdom come is playing at 5 fps on my 4080.

Lol I kinda liked lockpicking in kcd1. Has it changed?

Were you a big dragon age beforehand? From what I can tell, it seems like old fans actually did like the game but newcomers (who I’m sure were the reason the game morphed so much) had a much colder reception. I loved dao, hated da2, and liked dai but still haven’t taken the plunge on this one.

Any diehard pillars fans who have played it? For the most part it doesn’t seem super well received but I wonder how much of a bump it gets for being in the pillars franchise. I loved the first two and would love to continue my time in eora. Haven’t dived in yet mostly because of the price tag, waiting for it to get to at least $60

Cilantro is a Spanish word and Mexican dishes are probably where most Americans are exposed to the food.

Just waiting for gog… Hold the line…

Wow, that’s pretty perfect. Avoid all the launch bugs but still get to play somewhat early on to join in the launch hype. Maybe even a 10% launch discount…?

Thank god this nightmare is over. I can only wonder who next will be the one to squander some of the most talented players in the league

Fuck you jerry

It’s probably almost been like 20 years from when I last played it, but I don’t think the game was that bad honestly. From what I remember it was more like a who wants to be a millionaire crossover with mario party. Answer who did Cain violently kill in the first pages of the bible and then play like a minigame with go karts or something. But since I had fusion frenzy, believe it or not the bible game did not see much game time in my xbox lol
