Linux Mint (I'd recomment Debian edition, LMDE) is basically what you want to try out. I've set up a PC with it for my stepfather that hasn't used Linux at all and he's happy with it. It's designed to be as newbie-friendly as possible. You won't have more issues with it than you'll already have using Windows.

Then if you feel unsatisfied with anything about it, you can go looking for other linux distributions (distros) because you have a general idea what's happening.

I hope the internet is prepared for when VPNs will be targeted. A LOT of free access to the internet nowadays hinges on the use of VPNs and I have been dreading the day when corpos and politicians finally catch up to that fact for some years now. Remember when credit card companies removed themselves from Pornhub as a payment method after just one article from about exploiative material on the platform?

Just think about the consequences when you will only be able to subscribe to VPNs through bitcoin. I know, subscribing with your credit card isn't the smartest move in regards to privacy, but it works for a lot of stuff that isn't that dramatic (e. g. circumventing geoblocking).

I don't think we're that far away from the endgame for the free internet. Enshittification is just the first step. When that eventually doesn't work out, they will come for VPNs and stuff like the fediverse.

Yeah it's gone full-circle like the whole situation with streaming services becoming cable. Funny how the world works so similarly in different places.

It would work thousands of years off of one drop of League of Legends solo queue.

Maybe look into Garuda as an additional alternative to EndeavousOS and Manjaro. I'm using it on a gaming rog and haven't had any significant issues regarding stability.

What I don't get is the sissy sub fascists nowadays. The dumb fucks generally want to wage war with everybody and now that there are legitimate threats to their precious Vaterlands they are pacifists all of a sudden. I get it, they a funded largely by russia and china etc, but do they really think they won't get shafted when the west collapses? Absolute omega farts.

Yeah Imma part with my Bionicles and Beyblades for the safety ranch.

 

What a weirdly wonderful magazine this is.

 

I hope you all are having a day as good as my coffee.

Greetings fellow summoners of the Fediverse. Imma try to contribute some content to the magazine regarding the upcoming jungle nerfs.

I've heard through that Riot is getting ready for a jungle nerf in the near future (phroxzon suppsedly posted some Xcrement on Musk's dumpster fire). What is the impression of jungle in your games and on which rank are you playing?

I'm in bronze and mained jungle the previous two seasons whereas I play sidelanes now (top atm but adc is fine as well). I get that jungle is very impactful by concept, but I feel like this doesn't transfer two low elo games directly. Here are my reasons:

  1. In general jungle is behind on exp and gold compared to solo lanes to offset the higher impact.
  2. So if you just afk farm, you will be behind solo lanes.
  3. You'll have to make some plays then. Making successful plays depends on your judgment of the map state and what happens next.
  4. Because you and everyone in the game is dumb and won't behave like they should if they'd understand the game, you can't rely on "proper decision making", even if you make the right call.
  5. This means it's very random if your calls will work or not.

So here's what I conclude: Your jungler will either play it safe and will be behind all game or he will try to get fed but he doesn't have the biggest agency about it if he's not a smurf that has a way better understanding of the game. So you'll just flip a coin and see if your jungler snowballs or the other.

If the upcoming jungle nerfs will target jungle economy again I'll suppose this will get worse. A better way to nerf jungle in regards to game health would be to reduce the skill ceiling in jungling; maybe it's a "Zeri problem" where better players are just too good for the role.

Don't ask me how to do this, though. Only thing I can contribute is that I've seen both sides of blaming jungle that I think the role is shit in low elo. I don't even jungle anymore but everytime our premade has a random jungler from the interwebs in our team I hear the poor guy playing just as bad as ourselves but of course he's the problem. If we win then of cooourse we carried like hell.

I love the whole macro aspect of jungling but I won't touch that toxic role anywhere soon. Toplane is so fun in comparison: You'll fight mano-a-mano and both of you are still reasonably fed after lane if someone didn't run it down completely. You'll get to play your first 15 mins in peace and then you'll join clown-fiesta and see how it goes lol.

Thanks for coming to my FedTalk

 

I hope I am not the only one with this "issue", but whenever I pick up my instrument (most of the time guitar) with a specific genre or style in mind, I struggle to write just something like that.

To give a little background info: I listen mostly to blues rock, hard rock, and alternative/garage rock I'd say. But for the longest time my music leaned more towards the blues rock side; slower (e. g. 80-100 bpm), very focused on the blues scale. These days, I want to create songs more in the vein of Guns N Roses, Van Halen, Motley Crue and the like but I struggle with the general feeling of those styles.

What are your tips regarding this? When I look up some actual songs, it's just I-III-IV power chord stuff or basic pentatonic scales again. So why do my powerchords not sound like that as well? Phrasing it that way makes it sound ridiculous, but I hope you get the point. It feels like I am missing the point that distinguishes let's say sleaze rock from classic heavy metal. Maybe I'm m overthinking it but it annoys me that my writing process seems to be very trial-and-error.

 

I'm getting started with my new band and as a recent reddfugee I was wondering if we could set up our web presence in the Fediverse. Now where would we do this? We'd like to upload songs, share news about concerts and stuff, and post pics from recent events.

 
 

So I want to edit all my posts and comments before the API changes drop but power delete suite doesn't get all comments and forgets a lot, maybe 50%? I have unchecked all boxes about filtering out subs or gilded comments and stuff.

Here's the message I want to leave behind, in case anyone is interested:

I had a reddit and I want it painted black
No comments anymore, I want them to turn to black
I see the subs scroll by forced open by the corp
I have to turn my head until my reddit goes

 

Heyo, does anybody play Street Fighter 6 on the deck in here? I'm having trouble with really heaving freezes that last roughly 1-2 seconds every few minutes that won't go away when I turn down graphic settings.

It happens during arcadeode offline as well as in menus and cutscenes. The deck just stops doing anything for a short period of time the everything goes back to normal. Performance in genera would be absolutely okay so I don't know what this could be.

 

Can someone do an edit of the infinity war video where all the fighters enter from the portals? But only with the subs that back the reddit blackout.

It cracks me up everytime I look at reddark to see stuff like amateurcumsluts next to animalcrossing and architecture.

I've read about several tools (e. g. redacted, power delete suite) that delete all your content, so what's the best thing to use? I've also already read that reddit is bringing back deleted content (fuck you spez), so what the best way to prevent this?
