There’s a certain irony behind the source info being from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum website.

I’ll pitch that this is just the natural result of repealing the fairness doctrine by Reagan in 1985.

The fairness doctrine started out in 1949 as a policy to avoid having the top broadcaster’s of the time (NBC, ABC, and CBS) create a biased public agenda by leveraging their audience monopoly. They were required to provide multiple contrasting view points on issues of public importance.

When Reagan repealed the fairness doctrine, the influence on media outlets to pitch left or right leaning view points only, took off.

No doubt. It’s not much of a complaint, but rather an advisory. I still main duckduckgo of for no other reason than to avoid the mounting ads on Google

I hopped on board the duck duckgo train a short while ago ( 6 months ). I’ve had no real issues with it except for one thing. If some event occurs and gains popularity very quickly ( within the span of a couple days ), it doesn’t really show up at the forefront of the search results.

A decent example is when I was looking up the Willy’s Chocolate Factory event fiasco. I was specifically looking for images from the event to forward to my brother bc that entire event was hilarious. I had trouble with ducksuckgo. I fell back to Google image search for more ease of use.

Sorry. I think it was gnome I was thinking about. The display configuration for gnome allows for specifying layout and advanced profiles when it detects certain monitors are plugged in. Things like dpi, font size, etc. I have a computer hooked up to my TV that runs gnome and another that upstairs running kde

I’m away from my computer right now, so Im not 100% sure, but I think you can set display profiles. You should be able to set a display profile that will auto load on login and should set your display options that you want. Maybe this can work despite the colord issues?

I’ll verify if kde display profiles are a thing and if they can help your use case tomorrow.

Sorry for late reply. I just now noticed this.

The difference would be that a browser would likely have multiple web pages fighting for resources whereas the dedicated client would not have to fight over so many resources.

The OS has a dedicated task scheduler that alots cpu time to each process. Some processes get preferential treatment, but most processes started on user space ( i.e.double click UI icon) are just “normal” priority.

When a task scheduler hits on a process, that process can start executing whatever it needs to do. The problem with running discord in a browser is that the application is splitting its attention across multiple pages ( and probably other stuff ) instead of a single page.

Basically, it’s faster to focus on painting a single canvas than it is to painting 3 at the same time.

I’m not going to discuss shared memory and separate processes or forking. You can goggle search if you want to know more about that.

• Ubuntu
• Opensuse
• Linux Mint
• Fedora
• Manjaro
• Endeavour OS

I think the embryos are also thrown in the trash. Are these where dumpster babies come from?

I have a framework laptop and endeavour os with gnome de. I’ve had no problems with it. I mainly use it for dev work and web browsing. I enabled gnome muli-gesture (basically the same gestures on a Mac trackpad). I’ve had no problems with that either.

I’d recommend it.

I’m just waiting for us to go full circle where the majority are just listening to the radio for the broadcast about the game.

Valve with Proton also helped a lot. Playing games on Linux is easy as pushing play. If I have any problems, I just wait for a glorious egg roll to drop.

I dabbled in Linux for a while (since 2009, college). I did some distro hopping for a while ( Ubuntu, opensuse, mint, Debian). I finally mained Linux after windows 8 came out, ugh.

I mained Manjaro and then switched over to Endeavour. I couldn’t be happier. My opinion of Linux keeps getting better and better, but that’s probably because I have to fix my parents computers once in a while. They run windows 10 now. I hate it. Ads in the start menu?! Kill me now.

For real. The newest two are more in line with the Last of Us where it was story first, action second. The first games of God of War are a buffet of violence being propped up by a story. Don’t get me wrong, the story line is good, even now. But it was always button mashing, crazy boss fights, brutal kills first.

I’m on Linux and use Firefox with ghostery and AdBlock extensions. I’ve got hit with the “must watch ads to play video” thing on YouTube, but just end up activating a user agent extension and set it to report that I’m “running chrome on windows 10”. Voila. I can magically watch YouTube videos without ads again.

Exactly what I was wondering. I main Linux since 2019. A buddy of mine sent me a unity demo game that he made ( basically a hello world ). I just did wine hello-world.exe and it ran just fine ( auto downloaded .net runtimes and everything ).

I don’t expect everything to run flawlessly, but wine has come a long way. Especially with valve support and investment into proton for gaming.

I’m assuming this is a “dedicated app” (i.e. apt install discord). I was capable of streaming the video, but sound was a different beast. Audio streaming on discord was a no go. I was finally able to do it with pipewire and using discord-screenaudio

Anybody feel free to correct me. I’m going off memory here.

TL;DR

Adam Kovic (right, in video): sexual allegations. Many statements are more circumspect for Adam than Ryan.

Ryan Haywood (not in video): secretly slept with fans. One was 17, though he thought she was 18. So, more sexual allegations.

Both were fired around the same time. Both were already married.

LONGER ANSWER

Yeah, video aged like milk. It goes back to Ryan Haywood and Adam Kovic (guy to the right) getting booted from Roosterteeth (Ryan Haywood) and Fun Haus (Adam Kovic). I think Fun Haus is a subsidiary of Roosterteeth, but definitely owned in someway by that company.

Ryan Haywood slept around with fans, including an underage girl (17, he thought she was 18). He was already married btw.

Adam Kovic took nudes of himself in the office. The funhaus and Roosterteeth statements about him were more circumspect, so not much more was said. This left people guessing if he cheated on his wife with fans or released nude photos of her, etc. Whatever the case, he was let go.

I had a feature request come down the pipeline that said, “We need this computer to send a notification out to other nodes on the network in the event it loses power.”

I thought it was just a poorly worded health polling feature. I was wrong. They literally wanted a dead computer to send out a message.

It took me asking them to send me a text message after turning off their phones before they realized the issue.

I used to work with a guy that as soon as a slice was in my mouth, he’d ask, “you good? Want any more?”. Then he’d proceed to put all the remaining pizza in Ziploc bags and take them home.

He’s an asshole
