I did it from scratch following a guide from Linux Magazine from a few months ago. I had to do some modifying and it was a lot of work, but it runs pretty seamlessly now, so the effort was worth it. I’ll see if I can find it and tell you which month’s issue it was in.

Every night at bed time - “I’m huuuungry”

Glorious

Computer Mormon is my new favorite thing to say

Hahaha nice

That’s awesome. My Asus uses a bit more I think but I never measured it. The MacBook air used to die in one day in sleep mode and now it’ll last almost two days, so progress!

I use asahi on a MacBook air, and love it. The battery life on sleep mode has been improving but it’s nowhere near the voodoo Apple does to MacOs. I recently installed Linux on my Asus machine and found the process and community to be really helpful, so maybe that’s an option for you. Check out https://asus-linux.org/

Dumb question, but are you using a monitor that supports HDR? And is set to display in HDR?

I’m not sure how KDE handles HDR but if you’re looking at the SDR and HDR side by side, one of them is either displaying incorrectly or being converted on the fly to display in the other dynamic range.

That was actually a really cool read, thanks for sharing

Exactly. They are not affordable for most people right now.

I did not view Bush at all like Trump. Really disliked his political takes on most things and thought he was embarrassingly dumb some times but it never ever even crossed my mind that he was a threat to the republic. And actually admired his composure and leadership after 9/11. They’re not even remotely comparable.

That’s not what HDR10 means at all, it’s just a different data encoding standard. Like Blu rays vs HDDVDs. A properly encoded HDR10 looks just as bright/dark in a proper monitor

Can you describe how you are enabling it? In-game? Are you adjusting it in game after enabling it? Is your deck itself set to full brightness (you obviously won’t get the full 1000 nits if not)

I use lightsail exactly for that purpose. I’ve had my firewall using wireguard connected to lightsail for over 2 years now. Will rarely run into a block or glitched captcha loop but it does happen. I also pay for express VPN as a backup and have that on my phone, and surprisingly that is virtually never blocked. Performance with wireguard / lightsail is more consistent for all day use though

Just to add to the Asahi Linux chorus - I’m self hosting a bunch of things, not on VMs but installed on the actual OS, and it’s been incredibly fast and reliable. I do have thorough offsite backups happening because one should, but loving it so far.

I’m actually ok with this. Would love to see better premium games and more variety in the app ecosystem.

If anyone stumbles upon this and was confused like me, I found this link to be a super clear explanation of OCI Linux delivery- https://universal-blue.org/introduction/

That’s how punitive damages are supposed to work, according to John Grisham

Talk about too little too fucking late!

Ha, we were there at the same time! I worked at big thunder mountain railroad. Never had anyone poop in line but this guy did poop on his pants in the ride, and we have him plastic bag boots so he could walk to the bathroom and get into a different set of clothes!
