I'd rather games compile shaders on first run vs trying to do it during actual gameplay and stuttering like crazy tbh

Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's a second language thing.

The initial comment was saying a netflix app on a computer monitor is completely useless since the whole point of a computer monitor is to plug in a computer, which if the user wants can easily play stuff off netflix through a browser or app. Not comparing a PC with Netflix, just saying it's stupid to put apps on a computer monitor (I agree).

Honestly...I'd take it if it set me up for life. Realistically, 99.9% of the people who can't see past the moniker would never have mattered to me anyway and as for the stuff about your life being distilled to just that, who gives a flying fuck as long as you make sure you're good with the life you lived and do right by the people you actually care about and that care about you. Besides "for life" in 2024 means "a year of being inactive, max".

With that being said, someone in this thread said this is a symptom of a diseased society and I think they're onto something.

Genuinely curious because I have no clue: what's wrong with BMWs and Audis?

Was gonna say this. As long as you run dnf update before you upgrade and make sure there aren't any left (you know, like their upgrade dpcs explicitly tell you to), you're chilling.

Only issues I've had with fedora upgrades so far are plasma incompatibilities (not a fedora issue) and nvidia bullshit (not a fedora issue).

Do they also pull the "fair use" bullshit out their asses like our ISPs?

~~Can I ask what country so I can avoid it like the plague?~~
Ah yes, good ol' US of A. Why am I not surprised?

My ISP recently introduced data caps on unlimited (they throttle you to 4Mbit if you go past ~300GB or 500, not sure). I already wanted to leave but that's really lighting a fire under me to move the fuck out of here.

I recently bought a 5TB hard drive. It's funny how that sounds like a lot of space until you fill it up and find yourself eyeing another.

Can confirm, it's comparatively (sometimes even without comparing) a shithole in every other way out here, but it's not NEARLY as bad for gender equality. Still pretty bad don't get me wrong, but at least the government isn't actively trying to dismantle institutions formed to combat gender inequality 🤷‍♂️

Damn, I knew about X-Files and Twin Peaks, but I had no idea about the others. It's honestly a rabbit hole I'd love to go down if I ever get the time. Adulting sucks :(

Right?! I can't run it at the moment so I'll need to upgrade first, but damn literally every frame I've see of Alan Wake 2 is just peak Remedy goodness. The not being able to run it part actually kinda works out for me though because I wanna buy it once it hits Steam (although they seem to be taking their sweet ass time, it's like they hate money or something).

Remedy's one of the last handfull of studios still making actually good AAA games that aren't compromised for monetization's sake, or to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I went Control -> Control: Foundation DLC -> Alan Wake and now I'm a thurd of the way through Control AWE DLC. Can confirm, what a ride.

Plus both games have amazing soundtracks. Got multiple songs from both on my regular rotation.
