Just make sure you have a chud mask on and you’re golden apparently.

I don’t know about iPhone, but I’ve notice a cool trick that my Android uses is, immediately upon unpausing a video, it will play and jump the video to the point it will need to be to sync the audio, so while you may skip back a few frames initially, you do receive immediate visual feedback rather than seeing a frozen frame while waiting for the audio delay.

Your video player “can” account for latency if you configure it correctly which I imagine the majority of people don’t do.

Windows and Android do this automatically out of the box, don’t know about other platforms.

Ditto with your music playback always lagging 1-2 seconds behind your control inputs.

Since music isn’t an interactive medium, this doesn’t really matter much (also the latency is more like 100 to 500 ms depending on a variety of factors)

It also matters for music production, and makes life a lot more pleasant for audio/video editing

Well of course, if you’re doing that A) this is not an application for wireless audio solutions so…uh…duh and B) you’re probably not on a phone if you take video or music production seriously 😅

Unless you’re using them for gaming or some other interactive medium, latency doesn’t really matter though. For music, latency is irrelevant and for video, your device will take care of syncing the audio and video playback so it’s a non issue. Audio quality is an entirely different matter of course.

For me, I’ve been throwing distros on a spare SSD so I could test run in a proper install, but I’m sure a thumbdrive would be fine. Just keep in mind that you might get some hangs and things will be slower due to the speed of the drive, rather than the inefficiencies of the OS you end up on. If you want to test out specific programs or games or something, you can always do what I did and put them on a separate faster storage drive (I’m on SATA SSD for my OS right now, but am putting other things on NVME).

As I mentioned elsewhere, I still have my Windows on another drive so I can boot to it if I need to, but I honestly haven’t needed to even once since switching, so I’ll probably end up just switching to VM only for anything that requires Windows fairly soon here.

The transition has been much simpler and smoother than I ever had imagined.

All-in - you’ve put in everything you have.
Call - You match the current bet.
Folding - exiting the hand, forfeiting the money you’ve bet so far.

Folding after being all-in is pointless, because you have nothing left to lose and I don’t even think you can technically do it, but you’re a complete and utter moron if you do it and should probably not be playing poker for money.

Just switched over to EndeavourOS from Win 10, expected an Arch-based nightmare. My main issue was Discord not working with mouse-based push to talks, so I bound my forward button on my mouse to the non-existant F24 and it’s fine. That’s it. That’s the most difficult hacky thing I’ve had to do (tried a few different packages to manage mouse input stuff and mucked around in some config files that were easy enough to understand).

Everything else has been seamless, updating is easy (so far), and I’m chillin playing games on Steam. 10/10.

I don’t really, but I enjoy that I can almost say btw I use Arch. Maybe someday.

Plus these days you can just use AI to scan your entire system in detail and explain where everything is while sending that data back to their creator.

Oh wait, sorry, that’s Windows, my bad.

Poser, everyone knows you smoke cube.

I think this is missing the key ingredient: is the victim white and attractive?

Absolutely agree, edited post. Was meant as a joke, clearly wasn’t in good taste and I apologize. It’s pretty solid, just not for me.

I don’t think they’re saying it as a problem or trying to argue with you, just stating reality 😅

Right now, I still have Windows as dual boot in case things go sideways or I run into road blocks with work, but my plan is to move all of that to a VM in the near future (and ideally an actual work supplied machine with a KVM eventually). At that point, I could see myself falling back onto something like Pop!_OS as a stable side install if/when my main OS is having issues and I just want to play a game and not bash my head against a console for 5 hours.

Sorry to be so seemingly unfair to Pop OS, what it does it does do quite well, just not for me as a main driver.

You just have to install steam, haha. I got CS2 up and running in 10 minutes 😝

Honestly, it seems really stable and works great, I just hate how…hand holdy it felt for me personally. I think the emoji was a little over the top. My apologies, haha. It’s totally fine for what it is, and if it works for you, that’s fantastic!

Non-fascists mostly

Considering said Wikipedia entry did not exist 5 years ago, when I mentioned the prior requirements of mine that were met at the time, that wouldn’t have helped me much at the time. Seems pretty convenient for current prospective buyers as of the article’s publishing, 3 years ago.

Regardless, to reiterate, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but I’m sure you’ve never consumed a product from a company that’s committed any form of fraud or other unethical act.

Having said all of this, please do not take what I’m saying here as support for Tesla, Elon, or unethical corporate practices in general. There is no way in hell I would buy a Tesla as of now, and I do indeed try to limit my consumption from companies I disagree with on moral and ethical grounds.

Call me ignorant at the time of purchase, if you want, I suppose.

Im being hyperbolic on the timeline, yes, but the end result is the same, and it’s sad as hell imo. Don’t get me wrong, Im not some AI luddite, I think it has it’s uses, but I fear how it will take the human element out of our art and stories, something that is fundamentally so human.

Until a few years from now, when someone can just describe the exact game they want and it’s just poofed into existence with no human intervention and everyone is just playing their own isolated AI generated slop.
