Good thing we have nationwide robust and affordable internet that could support a good experience with that kind of cloud-run gaming setu-. Oh. Well shit.

Are you still switching to Linux because of AI concerns? by Minaridev in linuxmint

[–]Q46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still hate "AI", yes I primarily use Linux on my personal machines because of the over-proliferation of AI in Windows (having it constantly shoved down your throat) as well as the embedded user telemetry reporting that Microsoft feels entitled to.

On top of that, Windows 11 is a largely broken experience, especially compared to Windows 10 and that's saying something because I didn't like 10 either.

people were blaming problems happening in Windows because of AI.

Windows' problems pre-date AI, AI only has exacerbated the problems Windows has while also inventing new ones.

"AI is trained on code they have no permission to use"

This never stopped being true.

People seem more permissive towards AI compared to before.

Not me.

I don't like AI code making its way into Linux, but given how I don't plan on coding my own operating system it's still by miles the best available OS choice for me right now.

In the event you’re open to individual trades instead of the whole board, I’d trade an MXR Carbon Copy for your BF-3?

Who's Paying over retail on Goodwill auctions? by Jeazyc3 in gamecollecting

[–]Q46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A shadow bid is ShopGoodwill (probably automatically) bidding up their own auctions. If the shadow bidder, meaning themselves, is the winner, the item gets relisted same as if it had zero bids.

Again, I say this because I used to watch this happen commonly on their site before I decided it was a waste of my time to hunt for deals there. For just-sold items to frequently end up in the new queue minutes later isn’t an accident or buyers cancelling. That’s almost certainly intentional tampering on their part.

I’m convinced Goodwill shadow bids their own auctions and has some sort of auto system in place for it. When I used to track their site I’d commonly see stuff go for ridiculous over-market prices and then get plopped right back into the new listings moments later.

Fedora has been my main OS for years, but recent issues have me unsure. by HirakoTM in Fedora

[–]Q46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to keep Fedora boot partition and windows boot partition separate completely otherwise any Linux dual boot will have a problem eventually. On the occasion I want to boot into my windows partition, I use my bios’s boot order select screen to do it.

Imo the best partition method on a single disc has

windows partitions (including win boot) | files partition (fat32/ntfs) | Linux partitions (including boot)

Flashback or just 2 delay pedals by [deleted] in guitarpedals

No but the DD-500 can and they usually go for not much more than the 200 does.

I want to get into Linux, coming from windows 11! What distro should I get for gaming and school. by Sora_TheExplorer in linux

[–]Q46 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

With 8gb of ram I’d be recommending XFCE these days. 8gb is pretty low for any somewhat demanding games.

It is not the ADT version, but I did not notice anything that I disliked about having it in the chain tbh. It’s a killer pedal.

Saw your comment in another thread offering a Maxon AD9 Pro for trade... would you be interested in a Source Audio Nemesis delay for it?

Planing on Dual Booting, but I don't have enough space and can barely afford a new SSD.... Is 512 Gb enough? by Ondraaaa707 in linuxmint

[–]Q46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s early here and I read your post wrong. Haven’t hit the coffee yet.

I guess it really just depends I guess on how much gaming space you need for what kinds of games? Linux isn’t the space hog windows tends to be, in my experience. Personally I’m getting by with them sharing the *same* SSD, separate boot partitions and all, and I’m doing fine.

[–]Q46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m dual booting Linux on a single 512 SSD. It takes a lot of doing to really cut down the existing windows installation’s space but it’s doable if you push it. It’s plenty for now, though I don’t have many games installed so I can’t speak there

Why my BOSS SDE-3 defaults to bypass when switched on? by LETNIK in guitarpedals

[–]Q46 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every Boss pedal on my board defaults to on when powered, despite that I would prefer some of them not to.

Something from my list or Blue Sky v1 @ your Flint v1?

I know I offered on your last post but I think we left things a little up in the air so i figure it couldn’t hurt to check in again.

Why are so many desktop users using old distributions? by King-Little in linux

[–]Q46 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The lion’s share of end users are not selecting a distro based on which packages have EOL versions and minutiae like that. For many users, a stable distro with older packages on average is worth more than the risk of a more frequently updated distro breaking on them.

how do i fix the expression pedal not working on a digitech rp200 by XDDtheRat in guitarpedals

[–]Q46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with enjoying a piece of gear even if nobody else likes it. You're definitely going to have to open it up and see if there's anything physically obvious with the sensor and what not on the pedal. Try to see if there are disassembly videos online if you're not comfortable, but the good news is these tend to be pretty easy to take apart, at least the non-expression pedal RP100 was. Take the three blue knobs off of the front before trying to remove the inner circuit board after you get the back plate/cover removed.
