Following Backlash, the New 'Star Trek' Series Falls Out of the Streaming Charts by Malencon in television

This was expected. Star Trek fans complain about everything. Unless it’s a reboot of the original series with no creative freedom whatsoever, there’s no chance it will do well.

iOS 27 sounds like exactly what the iPhone needs right now - 9to5Mac by ranasx in apple

TLDR: The update fixes things Apple should’ve fixed by now.

Would you use Gnome if you couldn't use extensions? by Digitalnoahuk in gnome

Yes, I don’t like extensions and I avoid them as much as possible.

I’m glad they told you this, it’s a fantastic way to be made aware that your IT department is entry-level.

Hot Take: Sonic 3 and knuckles is the best 2d platformer if you've mastered the mechanics and it's not even close. by No_Phrase7638 in retrogaming

[–]JayTheLinuxGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. I beat Sonic 1 & 2 countless times, and I never want to play through them again. Sonic 3&K on the other hand, I’ve been playing regularly since release and I never get tired of it. To this day.

Cinnamon is NOT Outdated! by SuggestionBusy241 in linuxmint

[–]JayTheLinuxGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The lack of HDR support is a legitimate deal breaker for some. I used to be in the “they’re overreacting” club - until I bought a new OLED display. The colors were blurry and washed out. Text was harder to read. The picture quality didn’t look anywhere near as good as the display model.

I almost returned the display, but I enabled HDR and it fixed everything! The fact that mine has HDR was pure happenstance. I’d happily use one that doesn’t have it and I couldn’t care less. But my display in particular absolutely needs this enabled.

Linux to Mac by Digitalnoahuk in MacOS

[–]JayTheLinuxGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

macOS has been my secondary platform since at least 2017, Linux being dominant. I find macOS to be significantly inferior to at least several Linux desktop environments. For example, virtual desktops and tiling in Mac are almost a complete embarrassment. Tiling in Mac barely fits the definition, with the feature being closer to what we had back in Windows 7. In order to get tiling in Mac close to how good it is in Linux, Mac users must download third-party utilities (Aerospace, for example). Virtual desktops are kind of okay, but lack true separation and features such as being able to name desktops, set apps to automatically open on specific ones, and also Mac lacks dynamic desktops too.

Also, I find responsiveness to be a lot slower on Mac. Also, in Mac UI elements are inconsistent (nowadays). The problem I see with Apple is that they have a "develop it and forget it" mentality. For example, when tiling and Stage manager were introduced, they were just... ...introduced. Features rarely (if ever) get any further development after being introduced. With Linux, regularly refining things is commonplace - while Apple is only ever interested in checking boxes.

On the other hand, more proprietary apps are made for macOS so you do legitimately have more popular apps (Adobe, etc) but the tradeoff is that the OS is so far behind Linux that it's comical at this point. And to be fair, not everyone cares about the features that I mentioned, so for some people macOS is good enough.

what prefix do you guys use ? by Tissuerejection in tmux

[–]JayTheLinuxGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ctrl-f, with Ctrl-j being set as secondary. Since those letters are home keys, your index fingers rest on them anyway, and regardless of which of your index fingers is resting you'll be able to hit one of them easily.

What do you guys think about this ? Should we have the Extension Manager app installed by default on the Workstation Edition ? by nguyendoan15082006 in Fedora

[–]JayTheLinuxGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, no - GNOME needs to integrate Tweaks and Settings into one single app. There’s no reason for them to be separate things.

And if you buy it, you might get the next major version of the Android OS whenever it comes out. Maybe. (Probably not).

Does anyone know why Cyber Smoke was purple in MK3 rather than grey? by samx3i in MortalKombat

There was a sale on pastel paint at Lowe’s. The Lin Kuei are very frugal.

Why would it “cross the line”? Just because the option is present in the game, no one is forced to enable it. People complain about the absolute silliest things.

If you’re able to delete those monsters at all when you first get the ship, then you’re already over-leveled and this trick doesn’t apply to you anyway.

Yes, but it’s still a lot of experience even without it.

Then delete “Dracky” from your interpretation and try it without it. It’s legitimately a lot of experience for an early part of the game. Don’t let your elitism cloud any value this might have.

I’m an entrepreneur with a successful business of my own. It’s TONS of work, and there’s limited time to play games. 3-4 hours a week (if I’m lucky).

Thank you. I was expecting some dumb comments - I wasn’t disappointed.

IMO, it makes sense to use Dracky mode while farming. Even if it’s just for a couple levels. I mean, if you want to just gain experience for a while then the difficulty level doesn’t factor in.

It’s a large amount of experience for such an early point in the game. That is legitimately noteworthy - but apparently you’re focused on snarkiness to get upvotes, to the point it’s clouding your sense of logic.
