It hit in my area early Friday morning and luckily I got away with no damage. Some of my neighbors weren't so lucky. A house down the street from me was struck by a tree and partially collapsed. We're still largely without power and finding fuel becoming difficult. I suspect it will be several more days at minimum without power.

What's marked as "castle" probably became Lumbridge, if I had to guess.

Hey Discord, give us the ability to stream audio when sharing our screen on Linux ffs.

There are a not insignificant number of people in the Linux community who feel that the more user friendly focused distros are for "beginners" and the distros that less so are for "experts" and there is a lot of elitism and gatekeeping that goes along with that sentiment. In reality they're all running the Linux kernel so they're all equally valid options. Use what works best for you and ignore the chuds who try to tell you otherwise.

I've been using screenfetch.

This is the first I've heard of the MIG. Seems like a good solution for making backups of games for safe keeping on my PC. I attempted to hack my switch a while back in order to dump my games for that exact reason but could never get it to work properly. Thanks for making me aware of this device, Nintendo!

It's literally not though. For anyone dipping their toes into Linux for the first time Ubuntu is by far and large the best place for them to start. Cononical has made a continuous concerted effort over all these years to make Linux more accessible to the layperson and it certainly shows in Ubuntu's user friendly-ness. It might not be the right choice for someone with more knowledge of the inner-workings of Linux, or maybe not the right choice for someone who is concerned with the issues around SNAP, but the average user and especially a new Linux user does not care about these things.

I cannot imagine the pain of your fucking skull disintegrating.

The only way I could think to make it work would be to run along the cliff edge to the swinger's left and then jump in order to get the rope taught. Only issue there is you better be damn sure you leg go at the right time or it will be sending you back toward the (presumably) shallow rocky water at the cliff base.

Def not my cup of tea... It looks awful. But if they're happy with it, that's all that matters I suppose.

IDK man, I've been using it exclusively on my main desktop at home and I've been getting along just fine with those "not particularly good" applications.

Honestly, it's way more convoluted and frustrating than it has any right to be. The only tools I found were cursor-toolbox which allows you to convert SVG templates to the correct set of PNGs and xcursorgen which converts the PNGs to actual cursor files. It took me several tries just get a working cursor set. Then I spent much much longer actually drawing and tweaking my theme using inkscape. It was certainly rewarding to get it working though. Now I smile every time I see the little "busy" animation.

This popped up on my work laptop yesterday. Very annoying.

 

Just recently switched back to Linux after more than a decade away. (I'm currently running Mint Cinnamon if anyone is curious) On Windows I was using the free version of Davinci Resolve for all of my video editing. I quickly discovered that the free version of Resolve for Linux doesn't support H.264/H.265 so after trying every Linux video editor I could find (even Blender) I've settled on using Kdenlive. I've been having a good time getting everything dialed in and learning Kdenlive. I was able to get hardware acceleration working with my Nvidia GPU, and I really appreciated that it could natively utilize the proxy clips that my DJI Action 3 generates when recording. I've been reading all kinds of tips and tricks articles but most of it is just basic stuff. Anyone using Kdenlive have more advanced tips to share? Particularly anything around title generation and animation as I've found Kdenlive's system to be a little clunky. Let's talk!
