i just set up virtualbox so i could install windows on it and use some simulation programs i need for school projects. what an unbelievable fight it was. first i can’t download the .iso file because their website blocks me. fortunately i found an old w10 iso file on my external. got pissed when i realized i need to use edge to download firefox. takes like 2 hours to get everything adjusted the way i like and all crap out of my way. get MAS, damn thing killed windows boot somehow. start all over again. same thing again, only then i realized it was the activation that kills it. guess i have to use light mode. oh and setting up onedrive and office apps is a whole story for another day.

edit: it wasn’t MAS, it was just failed windows updates. booted up with low resolution enabled from safemode settings in repair menu…

everyone wants to be like apple

didn’t realize there is a pink pixel!

my fear is that openai is analyzing everything you do on the phone, not so much the chatbot. but then again i bet apple and google are already doing exactly that. all the forced AI stuff just irritates me like hell. and i live in EU area so sideloading is possible. i haven’t looked much into how much open source apps are available though.

one got confused and stopped in an intersection, then decided to perform system updates and got stuck in a bootloop. the rest are behind it.

well yeah but i have to admit, the pink color is awesome. if it didn’t have to get that damn chatgpt integration, i would ditch android. been on the edge for a while.

why would eu even care about them

i always found gnome somehow irritating to use, like the tray area popping up all of the system controls when i just want to change the sound device. or little stuff like trying to paste a file into a folder that is too full to scroll past the bottom. i can’t r-click to the background, can’t adjust the columns to get empty space on the side. i need to use the menu. or pause fiddling with my noodle and ctrl+v…

no shit

does gnome not have audio output switcher in the tray audio popup menu thingy?

making the world a better place would be aswesome, but making buttloads of money is awesomer. - sam altman, probably.

timeshift. then skip that update.

can i paint my house with that?

proton: in steam settings go to compatibility and check steam play. wine: download the installer, then depending on your desktop environment either double click it and install as you would on windows, or right click the background in the folder the example.exe is at, open terminal here, type: wine example.exe and follow the installer.

so it’s the same garbage as oura ring. it also causes rash to many users.

i never even liked w10 and then i got to experience w11 on our school machines, and realized i can’t go that way. saw so many people praising linux here so i split my ssd and tried to install linux on the other partition. fukked up and formatted the whole damn ssd, so i became a linux only user. soon i accidentally removed nvidia drivers so i went back to windows. not a month later i noticed my school logo on the start menu and they also seemed to control some windows settings, i freaked out and went back to linux. been like 1½ years now.

and i bet if most users would not put up with that, they would remove hdmi ports.

i use an lg oled tv as monitor too and was planning to get an amd gpu. i looked at these adapters, only a couple different ones available where i live but they had horrible reviews. what brand is yours?

if you need hdmi 2.1, nvidia. if not, amd.
