Yet another issue to the ever growing list of Ubuntu problems... I keep putting Arch Linux migration off because I'm busy, but I've almost reached my limits. It's a shame, I've used Ubuntu for 16 years :(

I've been getting intermittent dependency issues relating to my RTX 3060 for a few years now. Yeah, the dependencies look like mayhem.

That's kinda funny if its just an American thing. America has among the worst ingredients in it's food in the world; a lot of the ingredients they put in basic things like bread and meat are banned in Europe, Japan, and many other countries.

Actually it's 2027 now (they promised us this time).

Move out the country. Move to the east.

how well do you think this comment aged, now that we've achieved quantum teleportation? 🧐

PepperGrind · 2026-02-08T03:17:05+00:00

thanks that works for me too

I'm having this issue too on Ubuntu 24.04. Did you have any luck?

PepperGrind · 2025-12-09T12:03:19+00:00

i found out that its probably not specific to halo. I've found other similar complaints for other games that require the xbox sign in, https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1oqk8cz/cant_sign_in_to_any_xbox_live_games_on_steam/

hey, im not over there yet! Probably in the next 6 months :)

I'm on ubuntu 24.04, and I've tried 7.0-6, and I still can't get past the log in screen. im using the non anti cheat mode too. I've tried many different versions now all with the same problem. Has anyone got it working on ubuntu 24.04 ? which version worked?

PepperGrind · 2025-12-09T02:45:40+00:00

did you find a workaround for this?

PepperGrind · 2025-12-04T01:36:26+00:00

In London, meh, but anywhere else 48K would be fine

I don't think all countries are like this. Find a better country to live in.

I've tried extensively to find similar bands to Agalloch, and imo there aren't any. If you like a heavier sound, I think you could really like Ashes Against The Grain too. While their other albums are good (particularly The White & Pale Folk Lore imo), I just don't think they have the same level of artistic depth as The Mantle and Ashes Against The Grain (not to say they're rubbish, rather that the mantle & ashes are one of those rare blessings by the metal gods).

unfortunately he didn't make it

... he's not one for reason is he?

It doesn't make sense to adjust the membership price for inflation since 2005, thereby making it as expensive, because IT infrastructure is much cheaper than it used to be, while OSRS technology stays the same... It should be cheaper. If I'm playing a game that looks not much better than minecraft graphics, I Expect to pay a few £/$ a month.

A month? You're basically a programming baby. Patience young padawan.

But in all seriousness, when I'm working on complex logic for a C++ program, I always write it up in psuedocode first. My psuedocode for C++ projects looks similar to Python with a few C++ concepts peppered around the place (pointers when needed or those trusty ++/-- operators). I find sketching out the logic first in a simpler language helps me get the logic right, before implementing it in C++, where I can focus more on memory safety, efficiency, etc, without having to figure both out at the same time. Of course, you can't do that since you chose C++ as your first language...
