Not a 1 day read but reasonably short (I normally read it in about 2-3 days of non-dedicated reading) is the Scorpio races by Maggie stiefvater. It's a lovely read that focuses pretty heavily on the two man characters which is what draws me in every time. I read this book 14 times one year in high school and I continue to read it once a year
I don't think about it much anymore but I cried at the end, which is a rare occurrence for me
Private trackers. I think common ones. If you search them with "tracker" you'll probably find them.
Lots of support already but I made it switch in December last year and no regrets. There's a bit of a learning curve getting used to a new environment but the computer actually becomes a tool you can shape to your needs rather than changing how you work so your computer will do it.
Idk if I noticed that explicitly but I would believe it. The grenade throws early game are also disgusting. Pixel perfect hit your whole team lol
I've been immensely impressed with DOS2 AI. If an enemy is sleeping, another enemy will use part of its turn to hit the enemy to wake it up. There were several instances where I paused and just stared awestruck
Time to shill CrossCode again :)
I think the characters are phenomenally written and the plot is fun and has excellent ups and downs.
Good to know! I'll add it to the ever growing list
Is the rest of the series good? I read the first one and thought it was pretty good but a reasonably well wrapped up story by the end
Book 4 is a bit slow but it picks up a lot after that.
That said don't feel obligated to read something that Doesn't interest you of course
On Fedora 39 I installed libunity to get notification badges on Discord but on upgrading to Fedora 40 I seem to have lost them. I still have libunity installed and I tried removing it and reinstalling it and it still dosen't work.
I'm using the native package on the KDE spin if that changes anything.
Would love to see if you guys have any ideas! Thanks
From my understanding, a lot of people appreciate the vibe. It's also designed in such a way that you kind of need to use different tools to complete different sections and you need to be methodical as compared to DS1/3 where you can get by blitzing past every enemy.
I think another issue I had was that once I cleared one branch, since you can do them in Sorta any order, you end up being over leveled IMO.
My issues with DS2 stem from the enemy spam, the low boss quality, the overall floatiness (slow HP regen even from estus, movement, etc), the areas don't feel like Anything special.
I think the vibe and the ideas behind the game are cool and I think to myself every once in awhile "maybe I should revisit the game" then I see a vid of gameplay and realize that's not for me lol.
The fact that the areas to visit are also just the branching paths from your hub also feels kinda bad. That said Majula is incredible and they Completely knocked that out of the park.
I did finish DS2 but gave up during the DLC since those areas are so unfun IMO.
I think it's a skippable entry if free time is a huge luxury but if you like dark souls this is Definitely still dark souls.
Pain to me is not really that important a metric. Figure out where you think it'll bring you the most joy. Most of mine are reasonably visible and I'm very glad for it. Tattoos are much less stigmatized than before.
As for durability, as long as you take good care of it while it heals and you wear sun screen after, most places other than hands and feet will likely do well. Less sun the better but that makes them hard to look at most of the time.
I use semimak mainly but use qwerty often and I feel like there's no problem with using both at all. This is just my experience though. When I first learned Dvorak and dropped qwerty I completely lost qwerty but it came back really easily later when I started using it more
Reading "suck it in and smile" in French to try to get some vocab back after letting my French rust in a ditch for a few years. Enjoying reading French and seeing the spellings of words I used regularly.
That said the story is quite underwhelming with some key points that aren't much of Anything new. Its very short though and easy enough to read despite the language so I'll finish it up soon and move on to a more interesting story
My issue with the silo trilogy is the end kinda drags on a little bit and you're just waiting for it to come. Otherwise I really like those books. There's also a show Thats Apparently really good too!
The Kensington expert looks huge! I'm not sure I can justify getting one lol. Good to know this exists though if I decide to go down this route
How does using a trackball feel? Ive been thinking about maybe getting one but I mostly like my mouse.
Does it feel more ergonomic or is it mostly just less distance to the mouse?
I have 2 different resolution monitors (2560x1440 and 1920x1080) and I dislike that my mouse gets stuck at the transition where the smaller display is not aligned with the bigger one. I use cursr to fix that but I can't find an alternative that works on wayland and that's pretty well the only thing stopping me from making the full transition.
Thanks in advance to any recommendations!
Edit: this reddit post outlines my exact problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/wayland/comments/1bcnj6l/mouse_trapped_dual_monitor_with_different/
I installed GNOME on my KDE fedora install some time ago not realizing it would litter my install with gnome apps. Wondering if there's a safe and easy way to remove them. Everyone online seems to say that removing a DE risks uninstalling a lot of stuff and thought I should ask here to be sure.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Lately, when booting up my linux machine (Fedora 39 KDE), everything looks good until about 30s after I log in. Then both screens go black with no output, and shortly after that they light up as if there is a signal but I don't seen anything.
I've tried accessing a TTY but nothing changes on the displays. The only solution I can find is pressing the reset button on the PC, and then I have no problem on the following boot. I'm not really too sure where to start looking regarding solutions. Would really appreciate any input you guys have to solving this problem.
I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it's been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol. Fortunately I kept my /home on its own partition, so this shouldn't be too bad to get back up and running as desired.
So I've been wanting to try to move to linux for the past few months but have been waiting to be done school, so I could the MS office suite behind me. I'm mostly writing this to share my experience for people who are considering switching.
I finally wiped my laptop to use as a test environment and installing and using it went really well so I went straight to dual booting my main PC with windows (some games I play need to be on windows for now). I started with trying opensuse tumbleweed because I wanted to try to KDE since gnome didnt vibe as well with me in my experience with Ubuntu VMs. It worked great on my laptop but the experience felt quite laggy on my desktop (if anyone has any ideas as to why, I would love to hear them). After fiddling around with installing codecs for a few hours I decided to try out KDE fedora.
This has been working super duper well so far out of the box. No sluggishness, everything's been easy to install and whenever I need to change any settings a quick search gets me what I need. The main thing I have left to figure out is gaming performance. I've launched 1-2 games without too much difficulty but it does seem there maybe be a performance hit. Gotta test more before coming to any conclusions there. Hoping all the games work well so I can decidedly move to Linux without leaving too many games behind.
I've managed to set up a baikal server to sync my calendars and tasks instead of using a free cloud service provided by nextcloud. I'm able to reach it from beyond my local network, but this is all very new to me and I'm a little worried about what permanently leaving a port open for this.
I'm hoping to find some resources for securing this, before leaving it up all the time. I suppose as an alternative I can always only run it at home and only sync when I'm home but this seems less ideal.
Thanks a bunch for the help in advance. I really appreciate it.
There was a post on lemmy a couple of weeks ago about an old, hard, I think text based game. I wanted to look it up but forgot the name and I can't seem to find it anymore. Any help with this would be really appreciated.
Edit: I don't think it's on the list of text based games on Wikipedia. I've added a comment with some meagre details I can remember
The post referred to it being something they always went back to and it being a lightweight game (maybe from the 90s)
I found it!!! Nethack is what I was looking for. Not text based but ascii. Sorry for the super vague question. It was mentioned in passing on some forum talking about ascii/text-based games.
The post I was referring to: https://lemmy.world/post/1570921
God bless whoever made this community. I love this game so much and am very happy to see it here on lemmy :)
I was using some laptop stands/risers to test out whether I was interested in tenting my board or not and really really liked it so I went ahead with the magfrotto approach. I replaced the manfrotto tripods with these z-stands for the more possible angles and also because they're wayyy cheaper (20$ a piece).
Thanks to the person who came up with this idea. It's super solid, the keyboard doesn't move at all with the magsafe stickers. Highly recommended.
E: after many attempts I have successfully embedded image in post lol
I've decided to jump back into learning a new layout, specifically semimak JQ, from Dvorak. I've heard that as long as I practice both I should be able to maintain Dvorak while I learn semimak.
I was wondering if people here had any experience learning new layouts could share some insight for that?
Any other tips would be very appreciated. I'm sitting at somewhere around 26wpm on semimak atm, and 130-140 on Dvorak
The jerboa app does this, and it helps when searching for a community to see how many people use it, especially when there are multiple across different instances.
That said, I don't really know how accurate their number is so maybe it's not super viable
Specifically, I would like to move lemmy.world lower down the list as it's not my main instance. Not sure if this is something that can be done at present or not?
Basically just just the title. I thought I read somewhere I can do that, but I don't see the option to when I find the account in trying to follow. Thanks in advance for any answers
