No chance they will block out the entire EU market. They will probably just do the same as everyone else and make a specific EU policy.

Actually I think Meta Threads is still not available in EU for the same reasons.

But muh POSIX

I just have pack and extract functions in my shell RC files that look at file extensions and use the proper tool with proper arguments.

Wrote them 10 years ago and they’ve worked flawlessly ever since!

Compared to almost all other distros, Arch is advanced in the way that it’s the simplest of them all. Nothing except the very basics are set up for you, so it’s tough to start with.

Proton is just Valve’s fork of Wine. It had a lot of game-specific patches, to make all the Steam games work better.

Wine isn’t meant specifically for games - you can run most Windows applications in it. It’s just translations of Windows syscalls to Linux equivalents, to put it simply.

Proton and Wine are largely the same thing. Proton just has DXVK built in as well as a bunch of Valve-made patches.

Valve had greatly accelerated Wine development. I still run many games off pure Wine with manually added DXVK.

I used to just check WineHQ and if it has Gold or above, you can definitely make it run

Steam version of BG2 EE worked flawlessly for me. It’s been discounted down to like 3€ a few times

It’s not that great tbh. I spent maybe 6 hours in it and didn’t get hooked. With BG3 however, I’m at 60 hours and I can’t put it down

Bo Burnham? Masterpiece? He made some funny songs 15 years ago

Show me some proof of any significant performance gain from these configuration changes, then. You also forgot to mention running Zen kernel as well, which might actually provide some benefits.

Nvidia are notorious for releasing broken Linux drivers… You probably won’t notice this unless you actually update frequently. Arch is bleeding edge so they often fly right through without much testing.

I upgraded my 2600K to a 6600K and it felt like a 5x increase across the board. Same when I upgraded that to Ryzen 7 5800X

All in all, a whopping 1-2% increase. Yay!

I’ve been using Arch for over a decade, and I would advise you to be careful when upgrading nvidia drivers. They just break every so often. Just do not delete your pacman cache and you should be able to easily downgrade

Instead of aliases, I just have lots of symlinks in my homedir.

I do have .. and ... aliases though.

Mostly if I’m gonna work with files I just use ranger, or FZF from my shell to find stuff.

I was never really on Digg, even though I was on the Internet since the early 00’s, but yeah, everything dies eventually.

Can’t think of anything aside from some obscure message boards that still exist today.

Reddit could suffer a 50% user drop and still make bank, but that won’t happen within the decade.

Boost for Lemmy is coming though

No, I don’t think there is a “not insignificant” number of people who would jump ship. We’re literally just a few nerds who dislike the monolithic corporate structure and care about privacy. Stop pretending the whole world is in the same boat. It’s turning into a weird tinfoil conspiracy.

It’s fine that we like it here, and I’m glad that we have an alternative, but people need to wake up and realize this isn’t some huge activist movement where we’re pwning “the man”. They don’t give two shits about these dumbass protests. They will do whatever necessary to continue growing and earning money. So stop giving a shit about them, stop talking about reddit, and just be happy users have the power with Lemmy.

Stop kidding yourselves… Reddit isn’t dying. It’s growing.

0.5% of users turned to Lemmy while the rest bent over.

Only played the first one which was pretty good. It’s super big on character customization as it has a million race/class combinations. A bit more extreme than the rest
