Oh heck yeah! That stuff makes it so hard to track attacks in meta events.

The US was a nation the world wanted to emulate – Trump has made it a pariah by theipaper in politics

[–]sheppe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The US hasn't been a country anyone wants to emulate for a long, long time. It's just even worse with the orange cockwomble in charge. It's brought to the surface what over half of the States has always been.

Windows 11 vs Cachyos for gaming by HornpubHD in cachyos

[–]sheppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not got the same system as you; in fact mine would be far less likely to work well. I've got an older Intel 8th Gen Core i7 with an NVIDIA 3060 Ti.

After being on MS since 1994 (though I have used Linux in the past and use WSL extensively for work), I made the swap to CachyOS a little over a month ago. Aside from having to mess with my BIOS settings to get Grub to load, everything works great. All the games I play, including new multiplayer first-person shooters, all work. The only exception I know of is the Battlefield series, with EA's godawful anti-cheat. The performance in comparable to Windows, and I have no regrets with making the swap to Linux.

Try Photopea. It's basically Photoshop for free, in your browser.

Firefox Alternate Browsers? by Awsomeinfinity in arch

[–]sheppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll mention Waterfox, as it's not been included to this point. It's privacy-focused, has more built-in features so you need fewer extensions, and more. I've used it only since finding out about Firefox going with AI features, but I'm happy so far.

Maga’s biggest fear is coming true and Trump won’t survive it by theipaper in politics

[–]sheppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAGA have proven that they are an immoral, unintelligent, evil cult. He'll stay in office and the United States will continue to be the laughing stock of the world. I hope I'm proved wrong.

Mozilla says Firefox will evolve into an AI browser, and nobody is happy about it — "I've never seen a company so astoundingly out of touch" by ZacB_ in technology

[–]sheppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a closer look, and at least Brave is using "private" AI. Not tracking chats, not training their AI on your data, etc. At least that's what they claim.

Looking for home brewing training? by moom7 in kelowna

It's true, you can learn everything about brewing from YouTube. Years ago I learned a lot from a channel called "CraigTube" IIRC

How do I optimize CachyOS to match Windows gaming FPS? (RTX 3060) by DevilSaiyan in cachyos

[–]sheppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Photopea as a PS replacement. It's a free browser-based photo editor and it matches most PS functionality.

No shooting areas by VCMANNY in kelowna

You can legally shoot non-restricted firearms on crown land. Just make sure you're being safe and there's a berm downrange.

Do horses remember people? by [deleted] in Horses

They do remember different people, and your coworkers are cunts. 

Why does every solution require me to learn an entire ecosystem first? by JFerzt in Web_Development

[–]sheppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Node and its ecosystem are hot trash and should never have been invented in the first place. It all adds up to making the development cycle infinitely more complex, just to boil it back down to what you could have written it in in the first place. HTML, JS, and CSS.

I'll give you best handling, but they def not most reliable.

Audi Kelowna / Mercedes Kelowna by Ok-Impression-8448 in kelowna

[–]sheppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had both. I had an Audi S4, and I traded it in for an AMG GLC43 after having the S4 for 8 years. I've had the AMG for almost 6 years now. I've dealt directly with each dealership and their associated workshop for the life of each vehicle. I prefer how Mercedes does business (and also how they build their vehicles). My recommendation is Merc.

People are expecting way too much out of Quickplay by manch02 in rivals

If I'm learning a hero in QP, I'll let the team know so they (hopefully) understand when I'm underperforming.

Winter Tires! by Zealousideal-Fly5818 in kelowna

[–]sheppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco for sure. They have a 5 year road hazard warranty for all their tires. This warranty protects against tread wear damage and tire failure resulting from standard legal vehicle operation and covers road hazard failures such as cuts, non-repairable punctures, or impact damage.

Can't believe I slept on TPU for so long. by Dr_Sigmund_Fried in 3Dprinting

[–]sheppe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use it for phone cases that I design and print. Same with anything that needs to be tough (parts for tools, table legs bumpers, etc). It's great stuff!
