@d0p3s4vitr @miamiautumn Nah, just determined gamers lol. If you want hackery vibes, try Kali linux and jump into the metasploit framework or the social engineering toolkit lol
@miamiautumn I'm not sure if this would work for you since OS X is based on BSD rather than linux... but I installed steam, enabled the "steam play" option for all games, set it to use proton version 5.0 (5.13 wasn't working for it) and then had to change some directory permissions.. and bam.. i was off and running lol
So, my laptop died the first week of February. I finally was able to get a new one this week! I've been losing my mind but I can finally write and process photos again.
However, I am finally transitioning away from windows 10 as my primary operating system. I got a little m.2 enclosure for my old SSD and can boot windows from it over USB-C when I have the itch to game or need to use it as a backup.
But, the main software I use, Microsoft Word and Adobe Lightroom, I already have linux alternatives for 😊
I was hoping to get to use Qubes OS as my new primary OS, but it doesn't like my Intel WiFi 6 chip ☹️ so I will probably have to go back to old faithful, Debian. Or maybe I can manage to get FreeBSD to play nice with my WiFi, but I don't have much hope of that either.
If anyone has gotten Qubes OS 4.1 alpha to play nice with Intel WiFi 6 200AX, please let me know. I've tried everything I can find online but will probably have to wait until 4.1 is out of alpha and properly released.
Loving the new laptop tho. 2TB nvme SSD, 64GB RAM, Ryzen 7 4800H, perfect for all the VMs I want to run in Qubes, and the on chip graphics are actually enough for me to game at even slightly better performance than my previous discreet GPU that was an evil nvidia GTX 965M.

@coldwave Bummer that you don't get to have some fun but you're right that it's good to be taking the situation seriously. Stay Safe
@NaiJi oof. Big feels as I'm about to do that.
@mathlover Thanks a ton. I appreciate any help I can get, especially in spreading it around. I normally hate asking for help but desperate times call for desperate measures.
@freemo that is way deeper into radio tech than I could ever get. Lol. Is this for bare metal or something on a computer using another device like the hak RF?
I always new about "top" since I first tried Linux in the late 90s. Now that I am getting more into it and want to switch to *nix full time, I'm learning more. Recently I learned about htop. I thought that was interesting. Then today I learned about bpytop. That one was a bit trickier to get. Turns out it's a python version of something called bash top. It's pretty interesting tho. Certainly a nice direction for CLI to move towards.
It's possible I just missed it in the plethora of eye-glazing information out there... but has anyone figured out a way to set names for workspaces in polybar... or make all your workspaces show in the par, even the empty ones?
Or, better yet, does anyone know of any better (not lemonbar please) alternatives to polybar? I would like something that is as simply elegant like the i3 bar but super customizable like polybar (mostly) is.
Anyone else experiencing mysteriously vanishing toots?
So, I somewhat recently posted a link to a friend's crowdfunding page as she seeks help getting a new computer for getting back to work. I diagnosed her problem with her current laptop tonight as actually being a short in the motherboard. That's what's messing with her I/O so badly. I went to update that toot tonight only to find it has vanished from my timeline, and I'd had it pinned.
@jump_spider I think there is a difference between justice and "cancel culture." Someone getting shutdown for inciting a riot, absolutely justice.
Someone getting banned from some software event (I can't remember if it was a GNU thing or a linux foundation thing or something else) just because they seemed to support Trump (and it disgusts me to say that because I hate Trump) is cancel culture.
Justice or vindication happens from someone facing consequences. "Cancel culture" is a bunch of ignorant ****** (have to censor myself because if I call them Karens I might get canceled) that will snap at you for blinking too loudly.
"Cancel culture" isn't about real issues that need to be worked on by real people. It's a plague of morons that eat tide pods, think vaccines cause autism, and think that freaking radio waves (5G) can somehow spread covid.
These are not people we want in charge of a shopping list let alone anything important. These are people that would have Darwin wondering what fucking planet he landed on.
I'm so sick of all this talk about "cancel culture." It's not a culture, it's a LACK of culture, and a lack of critical thinking skills. What happened to "I may hate what you say, but I will defend your right to say it" huh?
