  • I think the discovery aspec would come from these:

    • links from your frequently visited sites, community
    • recommendations when you ask in more niche group, the frequent there usually can point you to a better youtuber/reviewer.
    • or some lazy effort when you just go to the default and search with keywords(while in a container tab) and navigate through the useless stuff.

    I complaint because now my youtube feed are filled with other pseudo-science and auto-generated stuff, youtube’s algorithm have failed me basically. Half are from my subs and another half are from people or program that are trying to exploit you with those “try this to improve …” shit and just paste some sounding scientist names.


  • the day this combo no longer works is the day I don’t visit youtube. Honestly if there are some alternative front end/extension that’s better please let me know. I visit youtube for times like game award announcement(so trailers and official release), search for review benchmark while I want to buy PC stuff, and the rest mostly just game educational stuff from Digital Foundry and channel like PBS Space Time. I am doing the upkeeping(so tagging channel as not interested or straight blocking them), but recent generated clips are flooding Youtube like crazy. I want to have a page/frontend that only my subscribed channels and whitelist keywords to show up.




  • like with any other health related stuff, prevention is a lot cheaper and stress free. We common plebs aren’t the targets of zero day attacks, and if you are secretly a multi-millionaire or with great inheritance incoming, well, maybe consider hiring comp sec firm that help you maintain and update your personal use computer AND don’t do any financial stuff on it.





  • I’ve done that very long time ago even custom build linux kernels and compile drivers, but the experience is not really good cause it’s basically a waiting game. You wait for updates and fixes and drivers etc cause no one owes you anything and even for gaming updates you might not be priority. (I used to pay money to a side fork of wine that has a paid member voting which game’s compatibility to work on first. I don’t have to pay/wait for anything just to have a game working on Windows. )





  • Is there a compatibility list and performance difference?

    I have games that are not from steam so they will need to be able to run as well.(and games that requires their launcher, like EA/Ubisoft. Oh and some of them have denuvo.)

    How about other driver functions(recording game clips, instant replay buffers) that was provided on windows drivers?

    I am planning a new build(so many new hardware’s) so if all above are possible and don’t need some arcane knowledge (like suddenly you need to upgrade your libc and install new kernels and fuck around with driver compatibility) then consider me in.

    What/where would be the guide and distro to start with?


  • t doesn’t say more people overall use ad blockers. It says people that were already using them are now switching between different extensions. Let’s wait and see if this increases Firefox’s market share. This could be the real good outcome of all this.

    That’s literally the first thing after I install any new system.

    • get firefox on a stick so I don’t have to open deprecated explorer or have to download Edge
    • install firefox, get ad blocker extension
    • then remove/turn off all the recommended shit that are now embedded to your start menu and task bar and lock screen. (I wish there is a github FOSS script that does this for new windows builds. )

    I will abandon windows when the games can all be played on Linux properly.





  • make sense, python really does not have a good ide for it and I don’t understand why, cause it’s so widely used. I wrote some python tools for Unreal Engine and I still use the old execute, check exception output method. (since UE’s python binding is kinda tacked on afterward so their modules and exposed functions are tied directly to their C++ counter part. compare to other more mature DCC tool(like Maya, Houdini) you can pretty much run things in python mode without opening the editor.
