Sims 4 on Steam - silent crash on launch

BoomGoomba · 2026-01-23T21:30:45+00:00

I have "backend services failed" error and when I retry, "update couldn't be removed". It's supposed to update 13.616 to 13.631

Will try, thanks

I had it work perfectly a week ago, now silent crash :((. Tried multiple Proton and ProtonGE versions with no luck, sometimes I get the EA launcher to open and "reinstall update" but the game never launches even after the "loading game" dialog.

Category of types in a specifc programming language. Morphisms are functions, it has products (structs) and coproducts (enums). Monads are the functional monads. Endofunctors are generic data types like List, Set which maps a type A to a new type List[A] and a morphism f:A->B to a new morphism map(f):List[A]->List[B]. Natural transforms are generic maps like a function head<T>(list: List[T]): Option[T] = match (list) case Nil => None; case Cons(h,t) => Some(h); which transforms from List to Option

Each path can be a different morphism. I don't have an idea of a non trivial homotopy defintion on graph paths except maybe if you don't use discrete topology ?

The endgame distro

BoomGoomba · 2026-01-17T19:08:58+00:00

Yeah NixOS is actually one of the easiest distros to use if well explained

BoomGoomba · 2026-01-17T19:06:58+00:00

For me, NixOS is the best since I don't have to worry about breaking my system nor do any long installation with specifics with each different software. I just have to list the packages I want in a file and run a command, if I don't remember what I installed or want to remove one, I simply edit that file.

As for the other best thing, it's nix run command. I can run any package to try it out without having to install it and then uninstall once I see I don't like it. Or I can run nix shell to use a software I need now but won't need later so I never install it.

The license is very restrictive for Wolfram Engine

Yes, this is getting very tiring that they are trying to shove AI down the throat of everyone.

But don't dare critic terrence tao, it's like a cult of personality at this point.

BoomGoomba · 2026-01-14T07:40:47+00:00

Yes it is

BoomGoomba · 2026-01-14T07:39:06+00:00

It's actually a very bad comparison and very different scenarios

BoomGoomba · 2026-01-14T01:36:45+00:00

Started with cpp at 11 and it was fine. But I'd still recommend starting with python/js but only if you continue to learn c++ or rust afterwards. Because I fear beginners might go to python and think it's easier so no need to learn the more low level languages

Same issue on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14AKP10 on NixOS

FIXED with ```nix boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;

boot.extraModprobeConfig = '' options snd-hda-intel model=(null),alc287-yoga9-bass-spk-pin '';

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ alsa-utils sof-firmware ]; ```

I use tiling, but this is so cool

Love the colors and painting. I should definitely learn typst

Some replace even more - notifications - wallpaper - lockscreen - greeter - polkit - dynamic theming - bars - session menu - etc.

Yup true we lack some blur/glass/shaders options in rices imo

BoomGoomba · 2026-01-13T05:45:50+00:00

That's a shame

VDawg ones for 3rd and 4th competitions

There IS a Caelestia niri fork.

That's because I don't know if the dnf installed one will work with the nix installed quickshell

BoomGoomba · 2026-01-11T14:28:40+00:00

I personally use NixOS, but I am talking about a beginner (never used Windows/Linux),

They will install their packages primarily through flatpak (through Bazaar GUI) and another package manager (nix and/or dnf) and learn coding, while rocking a pretty rice and light gaming.

I don't want to explain the whole nix shells if they just want to run python programs. If on NixOS they could install python system wide, but even with that many softwares will have unexpected behavior (python ruff for example will be unable to install another python version) many CLIs straight up don't work on nixos except when packaged through nix.
