QBitTorrent has a search built in. You have to add scripts for each torrent host, but once you add a bunch it makes it very easy to just search through that and find what you want. Finding a free stream you have to go through a bunch of shady sites trying to find one that works and is half decent quality.

As a Virginian, I hadn’t subscribed to a VPN until our legislators decided to pull this shit.

And people in the Netherlands call themselves Dutch…

Sadly, no one knows the plot of Caprica because we’re the only two people in the world who watched it. It’s impressive how well BSG was received and is remembered and most people don’t even know Caprica exists.

I love these comments. If you need to use the command line (the largest argument people have against Linux) why are people still arguing to stay on Windows? Hell, Linux you don’t even need the terminal if you don’t want to use it and choose the right distro.

(I recognize that for schools and offices, people don’t have a choice. These students were probably on a personal laptop though, so they could have a choice. The issue is Windows comes as default and no one actually makes a choice. They don’t choose Windows. They just have Windows.)

That’s not Linux doing that. It’s the demons in your hardware trying to escape. They normally don’t cause too many issues luckily, but if you don’t close the portals occasionally they can take over your system.

I’ve used both. I prefer Lutris. It gives you more control more easily. Usually you don’t need this control, but when you do it’s there.

Yes, they were saying that as a good thing. If it were run through an emulator it likely would be done on the CPU and not use your GPU. Wine/Proton will use it properly.

Generally the same people. I’m sure some changed over time. It started as them making levels for the next Serious Sam, but they turned out to be really good puzzles mechanics and levels and the decided to make a puzzle game instead.

It’s crazy that the people behind Serious Sam made The Talos Principle. A crazy action focused FPS to an intellectual puzzle game focused on exploring philosophy and what it means to be human.

And Bloodborne is actually worth playing.

There is something to say about how well the storage is integrated into the PS5 in particular. The latency is much lower than PC storage generally is, even for m.2 NVMe. That probably isn’t actually that large of an issue that the games using that couldn’t work on PC, especially if you have a lot of RAM, which is even faster.

I don’t think intent is required. Behead’s definition says “cut off the head of (someone), especially as a form of execution.” The especially part means it isn’t exclusive to that.

Both Be-head and De-capit(ate) = Off-head

Well, it will be slightly different. AMD releases open source drivers. That’s why it works so much better. Nvidia releases proprietary ones and let’s the community handle the open source ones. To the end user, there probably won’t be much difference eventually, but it does hurt progress so they’ll always be slightly behind where they could be.

Writing your own internet protocol is a good idea but you shouldn’t stop there. You need to run your own internet cables too to make sure it does what you want and isn’t controlled by someone else.

That’s what he said.

Even then, it’s not really accurate anyway. A cocktail is a bunch of ingredients mixes together. You can usually get them without the alcohol if you ask for it (obviously this doesn’t work for every drink). They list of cocktails is so large because there’s a lot of ways to combine a few ingredients to make different things. They don’t actually stock that many types of drinks or anything. They’re made on demends, and can usually be modified if you ask.

Both of those will have worse performance, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t work. Just whenever it needs to grab more data it’ll have to go to the USB to get it, which is slow. You could load the game that’s stored on the disk already (this will require more effort and knowledge than installing Steam and it installing it locally on your Linux drive), so that’d be better, but the system data will be slow. If you have a lot of RAM it’ll reduce how often data is grabbed, so it’ll reduce the issues after boot.

I want to add to this that Windows sometimes has its own ideas and decides it owns the disk. I had a dual boot with Windows and Linux and Windows updated and fucked up the file system. I was able to recover almost everything without that much issue, that it did require some extra tools and some knowledge. The boot partition I never recovered though. (I was able to fix it to get it to boot into the Linux install again, but not Windows no matter what I tried.)

This was about a year ago, maybe a bit more. The issue I had with Linux prior to this, which is why I was dual booting, was gaming. At this point gaming was perfectly fine for me to ditch windows, so I just grabbed all the files I needed to keep and set the drive up new with a fresh install.

This comment is good, but it’s very much the “scared of change” comment. It recommends the smallest amount of change possible, which might be good for some people but just diving in will probably be a better introduction.

You don’t learn how to swim by sitting in a bath tub. You have to get into the water. Maybe wear some safety gear (dual boot or other options), but if you’re reasonably confident and/or competent you’ll be fine getting into Linux as long as you’re using one of the major distros.

I assume almost everyone who has made it to Lemmy is competent enough with a computer to handle the transition to Linux. It really isn’t all that hard if you know how to use a search engine.
