Bluetooth mic is currently broken for everyone that uses wireplumber and libwireplumber.

Which is basically everyone using the up to date version of those packages.

This affects everyone. If you turn on your Bluetooth mic on it the system hard crashes.

Yes. I’m using it right now. There are many ridiculous broken things like the one mentioned above. I can give you a few more that affect everyone if you want.

I really feel like I’m being gaslit by people here on Lemmy saying that their system doesn’t randomly breaks. When major functions just break out of nowhere for everyone and stay broken for arbitrary number of weeks or months.

Indeed. I think you just have to accept a half broken system if you use Linux.

If you accept that’s the trade off for less spyware you won’t be disappointed.

Most popular games still don’t work.

And stuff randomly breaks. Most recently turning on a Bluetooth mic crashes gnome.

Apparently there’s a fix coming but insane that stuff like this can be broken for a whole month.

I tried to like Krita. I’ve used it extensively for a few years. But it’s just not good. For all the reasons mentioned in this thread.

It’s both really.

When I was publishing my first paper after sending it in to a professor for review a few times he called me in and went line through line of the whole paper for about 4 hours explaining to me what I needed to fix and why.

A lot of it were things that came down to experience and that no book education could have given me.

People that believe they can make significant contributions need to go through the proper process. But ridiculing them before they even attempt is not the way to go.

A good point that Angela made in her video from what. I remember. I watched it a while ago was that these crackpots always have grand theories. It’s never a small contribution. In that sense. A good filter is just asking them to show why we should listen to them before putting effort into it.

You think you found a way to make warp drives work ? Show us a prototype.

Edit. I did live in the midst of academia for a while. But from my experiences. Reaching out to people in other universities. They had no real way of verifying a priori that I was who i said I was. And.no one ever told me to fuck off and very few people ignored me. From memory no one did. So it does make me wonder what kind of insane message that person is sending and to whom.

Last epoch is a steam game. And on protondb it’s platinum apparently.

Never had a good experience with it on Linux though. Buggy as hell.

[–] shapis@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago (3 children)

The two I tried recently that were problematic were wow and last epoch.

Allegedly they both work fine. They don’t though.

Mostly Debian and arch. But I’ve tried bazzite too at one point.

Experiences range from 5 years ago to like. Today.

And all my hardware is amd as well.

I’ve read people saying this here on lemmy often.

But it really hasn’t been my experience at all with very few exceptions.

I read people online saying this often. But I’ve neve been able to play things without hiccups on Linux before.

With very very few exceptions.

I just wish games worked fine on Linux.

Oh wtf u did not just say that. It's a great song.

 

Basically the title. Wondering how to deal with duplicate forums from different instances.

 

I've been coding for years in a multitude of languages, but other than one c class I had in college I mostly learned through osmosis, or learned new things as they were needed.

So my knowledge is honestly all over the place and with a ton of gaps.

I'm trying to learn rust and starting going through The Rust Book and afterwards I plan on going on Rust by Example and trying to code my stuff as strictly following best practices as possible.

Is that a waste of time? I mean rawdogging it has been working for me for a decade now. Should I just yolo and write what I wanna write in Rust and learn as I go?

 

Since Lemmy is federated, and the admins of each instance choose what’s allowed and what’s not in their own instance.

How do you feel about what’s allowed and what’s not in your current instance ?

I’ll start: I’ve read people complaining about my instance admins, but I haven’t experienced nor seen anything I specifically disagree with.

And I’ve read things they wrote that I absolutely agree with, like not federating with Meta under any circumstances.

So for now, I’m happy with it. If I get banned randomly, I don’t think I’d go to a different instance, though. I’d probably just stop visiting Lemmy altogether.

 

I love the idea of trying Debian but every time I try to ditch Arch for it I end up just giving up after not being able to find all the packages I need in the repos.

How do you guys deal with that? I’m not even talking about them being out of date. I’m talking about them missing altogether.
