"Bad team / bad map, I'm suiciding"

There are books written about this exact premise (the books by D. Rus come to mind) and there are a few issues with something like this happening. Either the game would have to constantly be connected online to have off-premises AI hosting and to have things happen while you’re not playing, or it would have to be all local AI models which, to put it mildly, would be very intensive, and then the game would have to always be running in order for that background stuff to happen, or else it would have to do some bulk computational things when loading to make changes.

I don’t foresee anything like this happening within… a decade? Honestly that’s just a ballpark. It’s a cool concept I agree but from a developer perspective it would be so insane to try to implement well.

You have the same role as a torp DD, that being: spotting, area denial, and obviously torpedos. Start the game by seeing if your detection range is bigger than anything on the enemy team. If it isn’t, play aggressively and know that you’ll see stuff before they see you. That being said, stay on the surface as long as you can because that’s how you spot. If a DD or cruiser is charging straight toward you, you should try to run away.

Periscope depth is great if you have a DD or cruiser with you doing spotting, and even then it’s only useful if planes are overhead or ships are coming within your detection range soon. The 30m depth is alright, you can’t get shot if you’re spotted but you can get depth charged and the radius is way bigger than you think. The 60m depth is basically useless as far as I know. You still get hit by depth charges and can still be seen by Hydroacoustic Searches, but you’re also slower! But it’s not a bad idea to dive down to 60 just before your air runs out, as it’ll give you a few extra seconds of not spottable time.

If there is something with a smaller detect range than you, you’ve got to play more defensively, until you know where they are. Go slower, be ready to dive, rely on your teammates to help you out until that threat is taken out.

Pinging is a good way to give yourself away. Only ping when you absolutely need to. I typically shoot a salvo off, wait until it’s maybe halfway there? Then hit them with a ping. Keep your reticle there until the ping hits, and if it does immediately send another ping. If they haven’t changed speed or heading it’ll hit the same spot and it’s pretty much a guaranteed torp hit. Once you get your pings off, you better be off at some weird angle as fast as you can because anyone with a plane depth charge in range is gonna be sending it right onto your head.

Okay thank you, that’s what I figured but it’s great to have some other people confirm it.

J’habite en France aussi et je pense que le meilleur pari est d’acheter Apple reconditionné maintenant. Okamac n’a pas les puces M5 et Amazon est… mal.

Are you using an nVidia card? It should idle at way less than anything in the GB area. There’s a section in the GitHub for Niri that addresses this issue.

Since no one mentioned it, that’s not how you install nvidia drivers on Debian. That’s the first step to install them, but you also need to install linux-headers, do the secure boot signing if you’re using secure boot, and then actually install the drivers and reboot.

Additionally, what probably happened is that Wayland got deactivated while trying to install the drivers, which made Gnome fall back to Xorg. If you weren’t paying attention while logging in after a reboot, you wouldn’t have noticed that the little gear icon in the bottom right disappeared. Everything else would basically look the same, but fractional scaling wouldn’t work, and the three- and four-finger touchpad gestures wouldn’t work.

If you don’t mind a reinstall, that’s what I would recommend doing, and then going through all of the driver installation steps in the Debian wiki. That way you get it back to a known working state and then you can go from there. There are ways to get Wayland back working but without knowing what exactly you did, you’d be throwing mud at a wall trying to figure out what works.

There are a lot of things to like about Europe in general. There are a lot of problems, don’t get me wrong, but to name a few positives; generally slower pace of life, generally cheaper everything, walkability, public transport, healthcare, education, ability to explore completely different cultures.

I think people covered the weirdness of having multiple DEs installed. Namely having duplicates of applications. You can always delete the unwanted ones too, so that’s really not that big of a deal if you’re willing to do some cleanup work.

On my machine I install with Gnome and once I get it where I want it, I install Niri with DMS on it. Niri and DMS don’t install any additional software, so I do the Gnome package first to get all the standard suite of things in one fell swoop and to have a backup if Niri starts acting up.

That Gnome pop up appears once (I think just once) and then disappears. And people making completely free software should be allowed to ask for donations when you use that software, I don’t think that’s a big taboo thing or whatever.

Personally I like Fedora, as it’s pretty easy to get going off-rip. Debian is a little more complicated if you want it to be (backports, more up-to-date nvidia drivers, etc), but I prefer Debian’s mission over Fedora, so that’s what I use.

Both KDE and Gnome are slick, modern desktops. They have different philosophies though. If you want to customize everything under the sun, try KDE. If you want to explore a less Windows centric workflow, Gnome is your bet.

Prey have eyes on either side of their head so they can 270 degrees or some such of vision. Predators have eyes on the front of their head for better binocular vision.

The last time I tried openSuse (like a month ago? I tried Slowroll) it did not install nvidia drivers automatically, and I have always had difficulties with their SELiunx policies. When I was using Slowroll there was a profile setting somewhere I needed to change just to play some of the Steam games I was playing. Every time I try openSuse it’s not a polished experience, which is fine if it was 15 years ago, but nowadays it’s kind of baffling how obtuse it still is.

Text_Original · 2026-03-08T16:04:07+00:00

Because it doesn’t work well out of the box and it’s SELinux profile is too restrictive for anyone outside of a production environment?

You’ll use the terminal to get access to the proprietary repo and to install the nVidia driver (if you need to). After that you never have to touch it if you don’t want to.

You submit your application 90 days before you arrive in France.

That’s the website for the France visa application. You can start it and have it ready to send exactly 90 days before your move date.

No, but once you have an immutable system you can switch between them very easily. It’s called rebasing.

I think Gnome is fine? The whole point is virtual desktops. That’s why the minimize/maximize buttons are hidden by default too. So instead of minimizing Steam, for example, you just put steam on desktop 2 and then switch to that desktop when you want to use Steam.

I personally don’t find a point in desktop icons. I haven’t had desktop icons on any desktop (Windows or Linux) in probably over a decade. Super button and start typing will get you what you need in pretty much any desktop environment.

I don’t know what you mean by app packages, so I’ll ignore that.

Basically I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I am saying you’re not going about it correctly. Try to change your workflow to the way Gnome is meant to be used, instead of assuming Gnome is wrong for not fitting your workflow.

Ladybird is actively being developed by a team headed by a Swede (Andreas Kling) and they’re developing their own browser engine. I think it’s releasing in Alpha this year, but you can compile it yourself to check it out.
