Do Linux distros and BSDs recommend using the command line to set up bootable USBs because most machines should be able to do it without additional software?
  • validating the integrity of the installation

    The ISO file should be validated, and many installation medias check hashes.

    it can be disastrous if you don't pay attention to what you type in

    Valid point, even I get nervous when entering dd.

    I don't think that dd alone should be used as a backup

    Absolutely it shouldn't. I said primitive backups, which are not a replacement for things like snapshots. DD backups are space-inefficient, easily corruptible, and often result in broken systems.

  • Wear OS
  • I bought a wear os watch deliberately because I thought I would enjoy modifying and customizing it like a regular android phone. In reality, I don't use it much more than for fitness tracking. I'm going to buy a garmin instinct and not change for the next 4 years.

  • Hackers take control of robot vacuums in multiple US cities and abuse owners, yells racist slurs
  • The "smart"ification of stuff has got to stop. Nobody asked for wireless connected robots that don't let you connect to your own server even. Maybe if these worked with home assistant this wouldnt have happened, because home assistant devs are more competent that big corporations.

  • What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?
  • I only play a certain part of games, I don't care for rpgs or top-down games as much as I like first person shooters, racing games, or simulation games.

    With that being said, here's my list.

    • Red Dead Redemption 2: The best game I have ever played, hands-down. It's story and gameplay are both perfection.
    • Trepang2: A less heard of game, but a really fun first-person shooter which is like a mix of Crysis and Doom.
    • Mafia 1 and 2: A great series with solid stories and gameplay, these are very enjoyable to play. Just don't buy Mafia 3. It's like if Ubisoft made a Mafia game.
    • Arma III: A classic military simulation game which I spent hours on hours in. I love exploring the maps while engaging in realistic shootouts, especially with mods like ACE which make it even more realistic and immersive.
  • Google must crack open Android for third-party stores, rules Epic judge
  • I hope google gets fucked up the ass with this, because the play store is a cancerous app store thats giving android as a whole a bad name. I trust F-droid about 50x as much as I trust the play store just because of it promoting honesty and transparency from app developers. At this point, if I want an app that's not on f droid, I usually just won't get it.

  • Microsoft Is Discontinuing HoloLens 2 As Production Ends
  • Hear me out... Hololens runs "Windows Holographic System," which is based on regular Windows. Would it be possible to run GNU/Linux on the glasses? If so, that would be fucking awesome, though I'd imagine the hardware support would be lackluster.

    Libre Tactical shooter

    Anyone know of some libre tactical shooters? I really can't find anything, just wanted to ask the community if they knew of anything. Closest i've found is either Unvanquished or Assaultcube. At this point of my search, I'm ready to accept that there might not be a game.

    Is this an accurate diagram?

    Edit: It is! I got the WiFi replaced and functional.

    I need a confirmation that this is an accurate diagram, I have a A+E-key WiFi adapter, and I need to use it to replace a E-key WiFi adapter. I cannot find much information about compatibility, and need some confirmation before I stick my adapter in a type-e slot.

    KDE menu doesnt work...

    So... I just set my keyboard in KDE settings to Dell Latitude(i have a dell latitude) and now i can press the volume keys and they work, and pressing fn lets me press F* keys. But, my menu doesn't open. I've set it to alt+f1, alt+volume mute, and meta+a, but no luck. I am on plasma 5.24.7, using trisquel gnu/linux(triskel variant). I am using X11.

    thanks for the help!

    Somehow snapchat for web doesn't support firefox 🤦

    I know I can spoof my useragent, it's just ridiculous that such a massive app doesn't support an equally massive browser.

    Older intel mac won't power on at all

    I've got a pretty old macbook pro, I would assume it's intel. I'd installed refind and debian on it then just left it for a while. No damage that I know of, but I did move houses. Now, I plug it in and the power cord shows green, and the battery indicator shows blinking fully bars. I have tried all the keyboard things to reset, but no luck. Is this thing fucked, or are there any possible solutions? Thanks for the help guys!

    Help me find info about a specific CMF watch issue

    So I distinctly recall reading a reddit thread where someone woke up with someone else's photo on their cmf watch's custom watch face. I remember a few other people saying they had the same issue, and that's about it. I have tried pretty exhaustively to find that thread, or even any information about the issue, but I just can't seem to find anything. Does anybody remember this, or have any more info? Thanks a lot!

    Just Cause 4 only runs well with Lutris

    As the title says, I want to play the Epic Games version of Just Cause 4. I have got the same version of wine as the version Lutris uses - wine-ge-8.26 - and I've copied the wine prefix to get the same files exactly. I run Just Cause 4, and on Lutris is runs at an easy 60fps on High, but from the CLI it runs at about 20fps on Low. Anyone have an idea for why this happens?
