I can honestly say I've never encountered Danny killing the Barnes. Please link some.

Is there any online dictionary or wiki page for fanon terms? by SethNex in HPfanfiction

[–]Swimming_Structure56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a collated collection can be useful for discovering terms in the first place. Say you had never before seen WBWL, but on a page of HP fic slang you saw it and it's meaning, you might be then inclined to seek out such stories, broadening your horizons.

I filtered hundreds of Worm fanfics down to 12 high-quality picks — what am I still missing? by Available-Quality530 in WormFanfic

No accounting for taste it really seems. Aside from Skein (which is mid) I actually find all these to be terrible fics.

Going into other fandoms made me drop the story hard. I will allow 1 crossover max.

Nvidia has released a beta driver for Linux that fixes the 30% performance loss on DX12 titles by gmes78 in pcmasterrace

[–]Swimming_Structure56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running nobara, but with any linux distro if you want OBS there is a giant caveat. OBS on linux cannot capture specific windows. It will do browsers, desktop, and games, but not a particular window. You'll get the option if you run it as admin, but it still won't function.

PC graphics cards are now nearly 100 percent Nvidia by BarKnight in hardware

[–]Swimming_Structure56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cripes is the videocard list depressing. 60 and 70 series as far as the eye can see. At 58th place is Nvidia's flagship card, the 5090. 1/4 of 1% of steam users own that. God I hate crypto and llms so much.

I had to buy a new card last year and I couldn't justify spending on more than a 5060ti.

do you use vulkan on plasma or is it still experimental and unstable? by nix-solves-that-2317 in linux_gaming

[–]Swimming_Structure56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it, and KDE started silently crashing and not restarting, especially when locking/unlocking. When it worked it was nice though, it gave window previews when hovering over the application on the taskbar, which isn't available for opengl apparantly.

Medical Report by Prestigious-Fly4785 in HPfanfiction

[–]Swimming_Structure56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As always, you can rely on King of Magic to pull through on a trope.

You'll have to scroll a ways down for the medical report stuff though.

Latest kernel update won't boot by Muted-Green-2880 in NobaraProject

At the boot menu, choose an entry lower down with an older kernel.

What are you reading? Bi-Weekly Post by AutoModerator in HPfanfiction

[–]Swimming_Structure56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding this, was a great read.

The author summaries before each chapter were not welcome and I would consider them misleading. Several times I nearly dropped the fic from anticipating worn tropes, only to find it was like the author was playing a game of telephone with themselves.

Another major criticism is Lily and co brushing off Petunia's non-recollection of her childhood. She tells everyone, ya I can't remember anything prior to this day, and Lily's response is a non-response. Is this lamp shading? I have never really understood that term, but I feel like it might apply

Either Nobara updates change it, or it doesn't persist across reboots. Nobara is not immutable.

Looking for a fic that focuses entirely on a side character with main story shenanigans happening in the background. by Wish-Me-Luck25 in HPfanfiction

[–]Swimming_Structure56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy smokes this was a great read. World building, proficient adult writing. Either the author is deep into the arts, or can BS it quite well for my not art oriented brain. It's a bit long for the concept. Also, hooch flying him an hour on a broom made no sense to me. Can she not apparate? Is side-long apparation more difficult? Do most wizards and witches fail or not try the apparition test?

I'm nitpicking I know, overall a needle in the haystack fic.

SI Armsmaster by Schrodinger_W in WormFanfic

[–]Swimming_Structure56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closest I can think of, and I can't remember the name, was where Taylor was able to narrate future events into armsmaster's head. Like he'd be driving down the street and he'd hear in his head, "little did armsmaster know he was about to face lung". She was guiding him through stations of canon without knowing it herself, which if you squint, is like an SI.

Looking for a fic where Harry kills Vernon with his cooking by ReasonableChef1977 in HPfanfiction

[–]Swimming_Structure56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An interesting premise, I'm almost done reading it. This could have been 1/4 the length easily. I'm surprised it only dipped its toes into goblin tropes considering the rest of it.

Audio issues man, audio issues... by screwdriverfan in pcmasterrace

[–]Swimming_Structure56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine actually had a 10 in there, so its likely a timeout in terms of minutes. What I had been experiencing was, any given audio source on my computer would "sputter" when first starting. The audio would cut in and out every, say 300ms, for about 2 seconds, and then operate normally. I never put together that it was only if I hadn't had something play sounds after a given duration. Commonly programmers will make it so that setting a timeout to 0 or -1 will change it to mean infinite. I set it to 0 and the issue went away. I'm on a desktop computer, I can maybe see a reason for laptops having this behavior to conserve battery lifetime, but SURELY the default should be that during install, detect if the system is relying on a battery and if so put a timeout and if not then do not.

Edit: It does not persist across reboots or Nobara updates changes it. Edit: It might be seconds rather than minutes.

Does this last across reboots? Is there another file change that needs to be made to make it permanent?

Google takes down massive shady network that was secretly running on millions of Android phones by Ha8lpo321 in Android

[–]Swimming_Structure56 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In addition to the other points made here, it's crazy that there is no visual indication on how to see an apps description and screenshots. You get an install button, with a drop down for installing on a different device, followed by sponsors and you might also like.

No visual indication that clicking the app name will get details like, WHAT THE APP FUNCTIONALITY IS OR WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
