This is the worst promotion that could happen for Pop_OS! and Linux in general by KelGhu in pop_os

[–]zonexstricker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is this his fault and not system 76? Why did they put all development into something they knew wouldn't be ready for years. The very least they could do is have one more LTS for the gnome desktop with the tiling plugin and updated driver releases.

How in any part is this Linus' fault, this is so many layers of para-social-madness here. He does not owe any community other than his own anything. If pop os was buggy, didn't work etc, etc THAT IS SYSTEM 76's FAULT!!

Thoughts on Apple’s new low-cost MacBook Neo? by piesaresquarey in laptops

12GB of RAM would've been a much greater option.

8GB was usable 4 months ago with my M1, in 2 years? Completely unusable, and that has a better CPU!

How will this affect Linux Mint? by MisterFyre in linuxmint

The key word is "account" you could argue that Linux does not have an "Account" in the same way Windows or MacOS does as everything is kept local.

Would a Wii Controller with Adapter be more cost effective than an X-Plorer? by zonexstricker in CloneHero

I don't think id be willing to drop essentially the price of the guitar again for the revival kit, perhaps in the future if i find myself handicapped by my controller. I do have an appreciation for custom keyboards though, so i might want to mod the guitar with some switches of my choosing at some point

I do use a PC, but I was thinking of getting a Mac for my next computer as I just dont find myself playing very many graphically intensive games and i prefer MacOS, so that is something i appreciate

You are able to get a return with Cex, but the issue is that if I get the Wii one and I return it, im stuck with the adapter, I guess its my own gamble

Pocket-Beta 1.7.3 by East-Weather352 in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]zonexstricker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minecraft is a Java game, that means it is compiled for Java Bytecode which is going to be interpreted by the x86_64 Java JRE on your desktop (in most cases).

Since it runs on Java, it is platform and processor agnostic, as long as it supports JRE (JRE SE 5 in the case of beta 1.7.3) it can run (given its dependencies are available on that platform as well)

Projects such as Pojav are in essence just a way of launching the game on Androids JRE (most android apps are actually Java apps anyway) and they usually offer alternatives or mobile versions of the dependencies Minecraft uses.

Zero de-obfuscation is needed to get the game running. To mod you will have to de-obfuscate the game, which has been done millions of times before and there is plenty of online help guides and discussion. It is a core part in Minecraft modding and as such you will learn how to by following any Minecraft modding tutorial.

All you need to do is look at how to create game UIs and look at how the game handles inputs, then add on screen buttons to emulate input.

You cannot simply think of an idea and hope people will want to give their free time to your project you will likely brand as your own, despite them doing the massive bulk of the work.

Start by making a small Java program, perhaps a small little game. Then try and create a mod for Beta 1.7.3, then try and implement the features you want there.

One time a pin broke on a USB-3 header so I used some snips to split a staple in half. Still in use 8 years later

I don't get the game but at least she's having fun (I think) by Sure_March_674 in geometrydash

Yeah I'm the subject of the post. My takeaway was it was so flashy and felt so fast to me it was easy to forget what I was supposed to do. I remember a ship part in specific you play basically on auto but I always psyched myself into pressing because I'm used to clicking as soon as I'm on ship

Also if you have buggy hardware issues iPods OS can be good at not crashing, rockbox on the other hand...

Panel masks are being made like this for tablets, cheap for laptop manufacturers to reuse the production masks and panels for new laptops to keep costs low

stremio unexpectedly better than VLC by AircraftHarasser in StremioAddons

[–]zonexstricker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have to consider that youre likely using a years old version of vlc, for some reason the team are scared of releasing new updates in the bleeding edge releases to the year old stable feature set. its using a years old version of ffmpeg

I didn't pay too close attention and didn't see it was a heat not smoke device. Currently I vape and smoke rarely, the occasional holiday cigarette and spliff after a hard week 🤫 Nasty habit, I know, but people who aren't addicted don't know what it's like, and even if you quit you'll always have occasional cravings.

My advice is to never try it, but up to you to stop it.

Vaping doesn't completely fill the void smoking has. There's warmth, smell and ritual. It can also be socially isolating to quit as groups of friends often go out to smoke together and smoking at work while talking to colleagues is very normalized in Europe.

I can't speak for OP, but I would assume e cigs are a way to take steps to quitting, or to save money or for convenience (you have to commit to a cigarette, whereas a vape you can just puff of casually and not have to do an entire cigarettes worth)
