RE: https://mastodon.online/@9to5Mac/117293373468933663 This is just sad, why do people keep using Meta services? If you are going to use an AI chat agent, at least use one with some degree of dignity and moral compas. Like Claude or Mistral. I use Claude for work (as my employer demands, and pays for) and Mistral personally (through Kagi Assistant).

I'm seriously intrigued by the "new" :linux: distro #omachy. Considering installing it on one of my old #Thinkpads. Anyone using it? And if so, how is it for #LinuxGaming? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fe9pa8OeE

Are orange #watch straps still a thing, or is it yesterdays news? Because I found this really cool and comfy orange (I have to admit orange is one of my favorite colours in general) nylon strap for my #Garmin #Fenix7pro. But is it a bit cheesy to use these days?

@randahl@mastodon.social @anderspuck@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social But flodding Mastodon with videos will make it extremely more expensive to run small Mastodon instances. No, I prefer videos to stay on PeerTube, its just as easy to follow Peer Tube channels on Mastodon as any other fediverse account. Setting up a Peer Tube channel is done in minutes.

I've finally started my journey with #ResidentEvil 4 (remake) today. It's my first journey in this universe. I'm not very good aiming with controllers though, so not sure if this will become a game I play on the #LegionGoS, or if I'll just play it on my PC. It runs very well on the Legion Go S. I can get about 60fps, just have to adjust a lot of graphics settings to Low/Medium and turn off some stuff (none of it is very visible reductions on the small screen anyway). #SteamOS #LinuxGaming

Some (or a lot) of the motivation for this was to free myself from American #BigTech where I can. You could of course argue that Fedora with RedHat/IBM backing and SteamOS with Valve backing are both from the #US 🇺🇸 but with the open source nature of #Linux I feels it's still a relevant move to do my small part in moving the power balance in tech. It of course helps that Fedora is very much developed in Europe.

I have a #blog now! Self-hosted on #yunohost using WriteFreely.

I don't have a big plan for it, will probably use it for longer text posts than Mastodon allows 🙂

I stayed up late last night just tinkering with this installation and KDE Plasma is really growing on me. I still think Gnome gives a better user experience and looks better, at least on a laptop, but the flexibility in KDE Plasma is pretty awesome! Also installed a bunch of games, some that I struggled with on Pop!_OS and some that didn't run at all. On :fedora: :kde: they just run perfectly! #LinuxGaming

So my #linux-home now consists of:

  • Gaming PC: Fedora KDE Plasma :fedora:
  • Laptop: Fedora Workstation :fedora:
  • Handheld: SteamOS :steam:
  • Server: Yunohost :ubuntu:

I've build the gaming PC myself while all the other devices on this list are from #Lenovo (Thinkpad, Legion Go S and ThinkCenter).

I created a repo on #Codeberg today with my Fedora "gaming-script" (optimize Fedora for gaming) and guide for making the game Neverness to Everness to work with Steam on Linux.

More will probably be added to the repo later related to #LinuxGaming

Received a new #watchstrap for my #watch today. Not sure if I like it or not. The look is very rugged like I usually like it, but it feels a bit over the top, and its absolutely no flex in it at all, so not very comfortable to wear compared with the stretchy straps I usually wear. #watchstraps

So I've spent the last week installing, configuring and playing with #Bazzite :linux: on my #gaming PC.

It's been a few bumps in the road, but all in all it's been a great ride so far.

I've always had a Linux-based computer or two laying around at home to tinker with, but this is the first time I'm installing it on my main computer, the mothership... the Stormtrooper (yeah, it's what I named it).

Not sure I'll stick with Bazzite for the long run, but definitively NOT going back to Windows!

Almost two weeks later and I just got a push notification that the postal service have delivered the last half of this #mechanicalkeyboard in my mailbox at home.

The temptation to play hooky and go home to finish my build is real...

So I bought #VirtualCottage2 because it looked interesting and I haven't really tried so hard to understand the cozy game, zen game thingy... and I still don't understand what the point of this game is!?

It's OK fun to build my little cottage or apartment, but is there a goal? And what is the point of the ToDo list?

Is this game just a zen-thing combined with a very cool looking ToDo app?

Also, it's Linux native, but just crashes if I don't run it with Proton GE.

I have a peertube channel (that nobody watches), I never use the peertube app, the web interface is great on all surfaces, and I use Mastodon to follow my favorite "peertubers" anyway.

On our way home from easter vacation, we had to stop and take a picture of the bus the two teenaged boys drove into the a tunnel wall and devided Norway in two for a couple of days last weekend.

They made it out alive, but now risk financial ruin to pay for the damages.

I had totally forgotten how violent and grotesque #DaysGone are.

I picked it up again today after not having played it for a year. I remember everything.

Totally i've played the game over 90 hours, I think this is the game I've played the most, like ever.

First hour in: A bit disapointed in how it plays on the Legion Go S. It's forced 21:6 ratio makes almost 50% of the eight inch screen useless and everything is sooo tiny. On the 34 inch ultrawide in the basement... it's freakin' awesome 😍 One last note: with no FPS rate limit turned on, the game sucks up all the GPU it can get and turns my 4060Ti into a 🔥 Limiting the FPS to 60 and the GPU usage goes from 100% to 65%, and it's impossible to see or feel any difference. #LinuxGaming

I'm currently on Pop!_OS for complicated reasons, but struggle with mouse focus and dual screen.

I didn't have this problem with Bazzite, but dont want to go back there. After some investigation I think it's related to COSMIC vs KDE.

- Geforce RTX 4060Ti
- AMD Radeon 7
- 32GB RAM

So the question now is, what's next for me?

So, my impression of what happened with the shooting in Minneapolis:

Alex Pretti was beaten up by Trumps Sturmabteilung.

So like every brainwashed American, he decided he would be safer if he armed himself.

Then he was beaten up again, the Sturmabteilung discovered his gun and decided that was reason enough for an execution.

This is the moment Americans, this is the moment where you decide if you become a fascist state or if you stand up for democracy, humanity and freedom.
