Is it super bright there or is that a high exposure pic?

Sad spyware and adware noises

Oh, Grant Cardone? The fake-billionaire scientologist grifter who got his ass handed to him by T Mobile's CEO? The one whose inner circle reeks of fraud?

THAT Grant Cardone?

Wanna listen to that grifter get called out and embarrassed? (Video includes background info on who Grant Cardone is) https://www.youtube.com/live/L6qWUtTHhU8?si=cWgXvHDyYFaXJiSX

Is that not what KDE Discover and Gnome Software Center do? Or is this a new one for Gnome?

<insert diety here> was definitely looking out for us. I'll celebrate this weekend at <insert place of worship here> and with a month-long <insert label for religious adherence to diet, clothing, and activities>

You're right. I missed 2 zeroes.

When you have millions of players, .03% is 300 people per million. Consider the fact that the .03% of people in this figure are those who report this bug to Riot.

Perhaps not included in the .03% are people who lost their install and:

  • are not tech savvy enough to even file a report or recover their computer
  • gave up or quit trying
  • haven't yet recovered their PC to file a report the usual way
  • stuck to reporting issues and seeking help elsewhere, such as on Reddit, perhaps even PC subreddits
  • quit when they realized how insane the Vanguard saga is

Riot is has a colorful history and a future of misuing and abusing statistics across the board. It's practically their modus operandi.

I've had a lot of experience with Linux and I use Nobara currently. My only catch with Bazzite is that I didn't know the first thing to do. It somehow felt as if most of my experience in Linux was just useless.

Not saying it's a bad thing, I just decided I'd stick to Nobara for now and try learning Bazzite in the future to give it a fair shake.

I'm also a tweaker. I like to play with ZRam and add other things to the OS, like a custom kernel with BCacheFS-Git to support my gaming darastores. I suspect some of my creature comforts may be harder to get.

I wouldn't put swap on an SD card, no. Even if it had an NVME, it seems like putting up at least a double-digit percent would be more effective than 1%.

Also, since 6.1, swap has been a lot better, with MGLRU. ChromeOS gets away with paltry amounts of RAM due to swapping. So classic overcommitting seems fine as long as you don't run into situations where more RAM is active at once than is available by hardware.

I think the question is: if a person is going to make such a tiny swap, why even use swap?

Such a small swap is unlikely to save a system from memory problems and it's does not seem likely to make a noticeable difference in performance when it's only able to swap out small amounts of memory.

Why wouldn't one just put in larger ZRAM or a larger Swap with a reduced swapiness?

If I have a raspberry pi with 1 GB ram, I don't think a 2 MB swap is worth bothering with.

If they go from the resolution they used to native 4k, they waste a lot of battery life. If they go the other way, you have low res. I think they happened to pick within a golden DPI range. Not too high or low.

On KDE Wayland, I really don't really see any blurriness issues. I'm not even on KDE 6 yet.

Technology never ceases to amaze me. It's crazy to think about what ancient people must've had to do to get pants on

 

I don't know if this is true, but I've heard Visa and other card compabies can sometimes be expensive and difficult to small businesses. Is there something else one could use that's not cash that would be better?
