Thanks!

I have no idea. I just dipped my toes into KDE again this weekend. This isn’t going to sound good for Gnome but a gdm3 update on debian sid broke it. Needed a desktop so i tried KDE again. Everything i can find seems to indicate I should be able to switch desktops by holding super and scrolling or hitting a number but i can’t. I can get to workspaces if i move cursor to top left. Though those might be something called “activites” since they are sandboxes from each other.

Other than that I have KDE on steamdeck and “steam machine” connected to tv and its fine because i rarely use it for anything other than web browsing anything else I need to do on those are more easily done via ssh. I’ve never attempted to use workspaces on either since they are more gaming/video devices for me.

I have no idea, all i know is gnome i can scroll through by holding super and scrolling or swiping with 3 fingers i can’t. Sway i can press super and a number and get to a workspace. KDE i can only get to by approaching the corner. Which would be fine if it didn’t sandbox apps to the workspace. I like being able to click terminal and go to terminal workspace or firefox and go to firefox workspace but that doesn’t seem to be how things work in KDE. I’m sure theres a setting but I can’t be arsed to deal with it.

For me KDE6 has broken workspaces and thag is unacceptable. Gnome just works (after installing 20 extensions)

But we need to use cameras to document the ICE Nazis, just dont point them at the protestors.

I just put my desktop on pika, its nice. Maybe a little better performance than stock Debian in games, but i could be imagining things.

I like the bird sounds it uses as system sounds. Drives my dog crazy looking for whats making tge sound.

Punk, not metal but NoFX uses bassoon in their song “Thr Decline.” Its a 20 minute ode to how fucked up America is. Was relevant when written 25 years ago, still relevant today.

I couldn’t get into the first book, but hearing that story will motivate me to give it another shot. Well at least put it back on the list.

100%. I think I did college every possible way (except ivy league). First two years at a small liberal arts college, left because tution went way up and scholarship stayed the same. Three yeara at a big univeraity, where i switched majors and graduated with a bunch of useless paper in time for the 2009 financial crisis. Never found a career and went back to community college for a focused degree. All had good and bad aspects but community college i thought was the best learning experience.

Part of that may have been due to already being loaded up on gen ed credits, so i could focus on just the degree classes. It was also the fact that the teachers were real people who had experience in the field rather than career academics.

Yeah if I were in her shoes I’d save the footage for court. Don’t want the court of public opinion influencing jurors ahead of time.

That is of course assuming he gets charged as he should.

That would be epic.

Didn’t consider that. I could not in good conscience do that. I’d go as far as a Punisher tatoo, they love that shit too.

Yeah that was one of my fears. Not the courts necessarily, I think you could put together a good defense if you worked with a reputable reporter to leak. Its more I would feel so ashamed if someone I knew saw me suited up on the news. Even if I wasn’t the one busting skulls.

I thought we fired people for repeating Kirk’s own words. Now those same people are slandering an average American citizen.

I kinda want to sign up for ICE just to record and leak everything that goes on. I don’t think I’d be able to stomach a second of being around these Nazis though.

Hey i played on steam from at least 5 PCs last month. Doing my part.

Just a suggestion but for the two htpcs I’d recommend using bazzite or steamos. Both are stable and hard to break and booting into a console likr interface is great. Use anything else for the rest of your machines. They lock both down a bit too much to be practical every day machines.

I think I’m literally dying. The dog is investigating me with great worry. I have tears rolling down my face and I can barely catch my breath.

Yeah but only Sega has Mega power and blast processing.

Maybe look into a BC-250 build. Basically a binned PS5 chip but you can overclock it to make back some of the performance.

That or i got a fairly recent office PC that had an AMD 8700G and 32 GB of DDR5 on ebay for 400 bucks. Slapped in a 9060xt and its a sub 800 dollar build. Didn’t do enough research though and found out the 8700 only has 8 PCIE lanes even though bios and specs list x16. Oh well, it performs well enough for now.
