with the general election around the corner it is imperative that we mobilize, the community is to be as a resource for finding leftist parties to support, candidates to vote and leftist news without the capitalist spin.

rules are lax and discussion is invited.

Solidarity comrades.

Ive got myself a DTU-1031X which is a graphical drawing tablet, it uses usb-B for input output, display. In my case I'm able to draw but beyond that there isn't an output to the tablet, I have install displaylink, and wacoms drivers. Any advice?

Focus on feature like line smoothing, palm rejection. Good amount of brushes extra points for custom brushes.

Something ive been wanting for a while is a highly portable linux device like a phone or small tablet but obviously running fully flegde linux.

I need a device that is x86, 5g/4g networking water resistant if possible, sliding kB would be great but thats a bye gone era.

I don't want to use android based systems as when they have linux support it is via a spersific distribution made for that device. Virtualization is also not for me.

Instagram is one place I can't avoid as most artists post there and I'm always in need of inspiration

So been moving around a lot with browsers, waterfox, librewolf and very recently degoogle chromium, figured id look at Firefox and holy theres less than half the option in setting then there were afew years back but I gotta say the biggest sin is that adding custom search engine is obfuscated, and the chooses of engines are google, bing, duckduckgo and fucking Amazon! Wtf is that about? But anyway all these search engines are pretty awful including duckduckgo but beyond that the browser scene is a joke, mullvad are about the only company I feel compatible with using now

Edit: instead of saying how easy it is to add custom search engines, I'd like to know why the "add search engine" feature in settings is gone?

So I've got cyberpunk phantom liberty 2.0 but to update to 2.1 heroic game launcher wants me to download the hole game again, gog galaxy through wine is not an option so I'm looking at xdelta3 and innoextract to manually patch game files. But I'm hitting a break wall and seems to fail with every attempt using xdelta3

Paste code to text file .sh extension and run script in the directory where jc141 are present, also install dialog

#!/bin/bash

# navigate to the directory containing the .sh files
cd "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")" || exit

# directory containing the game directories
games_dir="$PWD/"

# check if the games directory exists
if [ ! -d "$games_dir" ]; then
echo "error: The 'games' directory does not exist."
exit 1
fi

# initialize the dialog menu options
menu_options=()

# loop through subdirectories in the games directory
for game_dir in "$games_dir"/*/; do
if [ -d "$game_dir" ]; then
# extract the parent directory name as the game name
game_name=$(basename "$game_dir")
        
# check if any of the specified .sh files exist
if [ -f "$game_dir/start.w.sh" ] || [ -f "$game_dir/start.e-w.sh" ] || [ -f "$game_dir/start.sh" ] || [ -f "$game_dir/start.n.sh" ]; then
# add the game name to the menu options
menu_options+=("$game_name" "Run $game_name")
fi
fi
done

# use dialog to display the menu
choice=$(dialog --title "Select a game:" --menu "Games:" 30 30 15 "${menu_options[@]}" 2>&1 >/dev/tty)

# check if the user selected a game and execute it
if [ -n "$choice" ]; then
selected_game="${choice#* }" # extract the selected game name from the choice
selected_game_dir="$games_dir/$selected_game"

# determine which script exists and set the selected_game_script accordingly
if [ -f "$selected_game_dir/start.w.sh" ]; then
selected_game_script="$selected_game_dir/start.w.sh"
elif [ -f "$selected_game_dir/start.e-w.sh" ]; then
selected_game_script="$selected_game_dir/start.e-w.sh"

selected_game_script="$selected_game_dir/start.sh"
else
echo "error: this script must run with in the directory of jc141 downloads"
exit 1

chmod +x "$selected_game_script" # make the script executable

So I finish phantom liberty where v sides with songbird and puts them on the rocket after killing reed, I'm actually pretty happy with how it played out while also being somewhat sad but for me and my ending I think v dies in a slow burn with johny eventually gaining full control, unlike v though I agree with most of johnys actions. Great dlc cdpr! An emotional rollercoaster. When songbird confesses to lying all I had going through my head was "let's get this sociopath on the rocket"

I'll probs end the game with panam when I want an actual ending

With UK's new security bill that seems to more dismantle security rather than help. Am I still legally okay to use signal, VPN, tutanota, https, tor?

starfields theme song, skip 3/4 mins

True first person, not a floating head but legs arms.

Also respecting first person, so no cinematic cameras for docking and take off landings, ladders, chairs.

Helmets visible like the metro games.

Weapon sights, me choosing between red dot, iron or scope should not effect accuracy.

No weapon sounds in space, also there should be different sound profiles on different planets.

Manuel docking, take off and landing.

Ship building should be less tied down by level and skills, and more focused on budget, make bigger reactors general better parts more expensive rather than adding arbitrary milestones to meet, just confuses the process

Gravity on a space ship should be optional maybe with a module thats distinct purpose is for gravity.

Space walk, I'd love to exit my ship.

Less loading screens. Love starfield but honestly the one nagging issue is that everything takes so long with 6 or so loading screens an hour..

The sqeeky elevator door in neon. Just no

The awful night club music in neon. Sound design department were obviously having a bad day in neon. Not to say the ambiant music is bad as I really like the ambiant sound track in neon.

Anyway I'm about 100hs in and would like to see other thoughts for improvement and maybe see them one day through mods, updates, dlc..
