I appreciate the concern (getting squeezed like that is a major phobia of mine), but that door is flimsy and doesn't even close properly anyhow (which is how he got in in the first place), so he's safe :3

Thanks :)

I blame the couplet on Nirvana. Gets stuck in my head every spring.

You might know him as Lawrence. Notoriously happy fellow.

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler But in all seriousness :::

I love what Valve have done for GNU/Linux, but you have to admit that the Steam software itself is a bit of a janky mess.

He is a libertarian/conservative type, which means that tolerant people wish eternal torment upon him.

Thankfully I foiled his Generalplan Desk. He occupied the chair for a while, but I drove him out with a counteroffensive (threatening to sit on him).

That's a nice solution. In my case putting the couch by the window was a good upgrade, as I can lay there for ages looking up at the mountains, so my boy here actually boosted the Feng Shui of this particular room :D

Good eye!

It's planted on an isolated patch of garden pretty far from wild woodland, and this lil moron has thankfully gone eight years without an expensive taste test. I appreciate the concern, though :)

Distros are a red herring. I used debian 12 (first gnome, then xfce) for more than a year with no problems, and the current version of Bazzite is also problem-free for me when it comes to nvidia prime (apart from a KDE-specific memory leak). Basically, this should be easily fixable without a fresh install.

I don't know what distro you're on atm, but set up prime-run and try running programs with that. I also recommend going onto the uefi and disabling secure boot. You can get it to work with proprietary nvidia drivers, but it's a bit of a process and unless you really need it you might as well leave it off for now.

GNU+Linux is currently being used to kill civilians in several wars, but we don't feel the need to point that out every time somebody says they use Arch btw.

Good tech can be used by bad people without everybody having to distance themselves from the tech itself.

That's not to say that BTC is good tech, but it's a decent proof of concept to free digital transactions from monopolists and tyrants.

Are you using Wayland or X11? (find out by entering "echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" into a terminal)

I suspect you're on Wayland, because that's what I'm using and I also can't click anything when using a non-native resolution. I used to be able to get around this by editing the executable but as you can see that's been broken since October. For all the good Valve have done for Linux gaming, they sure don't seem too bothered by their flagship being busted.

This is where I've just given up and switched to native res (as I want to keep using Wayland) but you might be able to make it work by switching to an X11 session. What distribution are you running?

What a beautiful photo!

I've recently fallen in love the Liberation fonts. For some reason I would always scroll past them in font lists and I don't know why. I guess I just saw Liberation Serif as a Times New Roman knockoff and dismissed them all because of that, when they're so much more.

I've applied them across the board (including websites) and wow.. I was straining my eyes for so long thinking my vision was going, when it turns out it was just bad hinting and kerning all along.

Man, I sure do love to DoorDash™ some Dunkin'™!

Part of me hopes the original post was intentional marketing, because I'm still not ready to accept that people speak in brands now.

Wow, what a miraculous recovery!

"I ordered some donuts"

"Put the tissue in the bin/trash"

"Clean up a spill"

"You bing your search"

What on earth is "to shamwow"? I had to Google™ (read: look up) what that meant!

Can't believe it's broken on X11 too lol

I guess it's in Valve's hands, then.. unluko

edit: does the problem persist if you change your desktop res to 4:3 before launching the game?

Yeah, the USSR most certainly is the odd one out here.

The competing patriarchal nations sure are!
