Sleeping Dogs is such an unrated game in my opinion. I very rarely complete games nowadays since they take soooooo much time with all the unnecessary bloat and terrible writing, but I did finish the main storyline for Sleeping Dogs and enjoyed thoroughly.

The gritty tone and grime and filth felt so visceral, the decisions carried so much weight. Compared to the utter slop that is modern AAA games that tries to make everyone feel included and everything just has to be rainbows and unicorns.

DEI, fucking important IRL. In games, I really don't need HR to be in my sidecar writing me up everytime I choose renegade.

If only they were to remake Sleeping Dogs. I'll play the hell out of that one.

I have deleted every single social media account I had with the sole exception of Reddit (and Beehaw of course) in the past few years as part of my deciding-to-be-better clean-up act.

Even after blocking and removing a metric fuck ton of toxic subs I always still feel worse than when I start casually browsing it. Something about confidently incorrect people, trolls, assholes, bots and AI slop get under my skin no matter how much I try to ignore them.

So I'm going to reduce my Reddit activity even further.

The world is probably always on fire right now and life is always hard. But I empathize with all of you that haven't had things go your way this week, and I celebrate all your little small wins and victories.

Jail. Right away.

Unfortunately not, that doesn't meet the needs for either a different user, or a completely different use case. For example, I want to completely separate my work profile with a set of extensions, and my personal profile with a completely different theme and set of extensions. In most other browsers you simply click on your profile picture and choose "Switch Profiles" or something. Not Firefox nor its derivatives.

One of the few remaining browsers in 2024 that does not support profile switching (and no, a debug about:profiles page does not count as supporting profile switching), and sure, AI is absolutely what it needs right now to become relevant. /s

Its a lost cause, I've wasted several weeks in August and September trying to make Nvidia and Wayland and hardware video decoding work on every distro imaginable, GNOME or KDE. I would have bought a card from Team Red outright if I knew how deep the rabbit hole went.

Fuck ads, don't normalize this. I left Reddit because of enshittification, and putting ads on lemmy is just another first step towards that inevitable end. I'll just spin my own instance back up. I had one running but I took it down to avoid the influx of CSAM on some instances.

F**king hell if this was an R we'd be slaughtering him like a chicken in KFC. Have some standards D and get rid of this shitstain ASAP.

I'm a simple man. I do simple things. I replace df, ls and top with more modern alternatives. Courtesy of this list.

alias df="duf"
alias ls="eza --group-directories-first --long --group --sort=ext --icons --all"
alias top="btm"

I had to scroll way too far down to find this.

Also Republicans:

Folks, let me tell you, Jesus was a great guy, the best. When he started preaching, the people loved him. Tremendous crowds. Nobody got crowds like Jesus. Sadly, the fake news media of the time didn't want to cover him. They said he was a radical. Can you believe it?

When Pontius Pilate, not a good guy, said he found no guilt in Jesus, the crowd went crazy. They wanted Barabbas released instead, a real criminal. Total loser. Pilate should have stood up to them. Weak! In the end, they crucified our Lord and Savior. A total witch hunt. It was a perfect resurrection, many are saying the best. Many people are still talking about it.

Can you believe the apostles? Losers, everyone said. But they went out and started this little religion. Now, two thousand years later, it's the biggest deal in the world. Paul went all over spreading the word. A real worker. They didn't have planes back then, can you believe it? He walked everywhere.

The Bible folks, it's a great book, the best. People are always asking me, they say, "Sir, what's your favorite book?" And I say the Bible. It's got the best stories, the best morals. Nobody knows the Bible like me. I know it better than anybody.

I'll leave it at that. The New Testament, it's something very special. I'm proud to be a Christian.

Hey, beautiful people of Linux, I need some advice. I've been tinkering for the past several weeks on flavours of Plasma DE on Arch and Tumbleweed on my Nvidia/Alder Lake setup. Suffice to say the experience was nothing short of getting waterboarded in Guantanamo by Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity high-fiving each other while Laura Ingraham supervises.

While X11 is mostly working, I've basically given up on getting VA-API and Wayland to work. I'm considering getting a Beelink Mini PC with 7940HS and 780M to finally be able to daily drive a setup without compromises. Bonus points if Hyprland actually works without sketchy black market patches that you buy off a guy in the back alley behind Wendy's.

Looking for any advice or experience anyone might have.

  1. Does VA-API and AV1/VP9/HEVC HW decoding in browser actually work? Any browser at all.
  2. Does Wayland actually work without glitches on the 780M?
  3. Does Hyprland work out-of-the-box, if ever?
