let’s wait or help instead!

I feel like this is a trend on free software, where instead of enshitifying, software always starts being worse but slowly gets better overtime until it surpasses the commercial alternatives (libre office, blender, firefox, thunderbird, …). Unless the project dies of course, which happens when it doesn’t get enough support.

@kata1yst @aeronmelon i forgive Rebels because the gang is:
- A trained Jedi. Well, padawan senior, but trained unlike Rey.
- One of the best pilots of her time
- A mandalorian (who’s also force sensitive? It’s a retcon tho, so doesn’t really count)
- A giant bear-like alien
- Kid with plot armor who becomes a jedi with even more plot armor
- Chopper.

They are so fucking OP (and isolated from the rest of the rebelion) they shouldn’t realistically have problems with outer ring imperials

@Exusia right, I completely forgot that

@KingJalopy @PugJesus it’s very real and I’m fairly sure it has appeared the recent shows (in the background at least)

It also appears in a few games, I mostly remember it from the original (and better) Battlefront 2; this droids appeared in some maps and you could explode them for no reason

@RightHandOfIkaros @chronicledmonocle wait he gave Disney permission or he just gave permission to do that in general? Wouldn’t that make those dumb YT parodies ok? (at least for Vader’s character)

@deegeese @atomicpoet hi, this thread literally popped into my mastodon timeline. Only noticed this is not originally from mastodon because you mentioned it and because you don’t mention on replies by default. Hope it works as an answer for deeper integration

@Shatur any laptop with a fairly recent amd GPU should be just fine honestly. Even if nvidia cards are slightly better, they can fuck up your whole desktop environment in a random update (among other errors on that line), so imo it’s not worth the trouble.

@bunitor @eldavi yeah, why? This just shows that, if more hardware companies actively supported linux, there would be no issues left for non-tech end users, which would be awesome.

Please buy laptops and desktops from tuxedo, system76, framework, etc, and recommend them. They’re doing a great job and do deserve the support.

@ShortN0te @0x0 I mean the real problem here is that MS office is a mess but somehow still standardized, so “enforcing standards” would be as easy as showing MS the middle finger and using libre office. They’d save a lot of money and time, it’s a clear win-win scenario imho

@Dave well that’s a shame. To be fair, the only time i tried so use it over wifi was on the 2ds, which was pretty slow. It worked only with low resolution, so just a cool experiment, not really practical.

That said yeah if you replace the laptop I’d focus on the best wifi card possible and leave the power to the server. I’m actually planning to switch an old laptop to an orange pi for this reason.

@Dave @deadbeef for the gaming part you don’t even need the second pc connected to the tv. I’ve been trying sunshine and moonlight (a server and client for game streaming) and it’s been running really great in the same network. The client can even run on an old nintendo 2ds, so your laptop should do more than fine to try, that way you’d only have a media and a gaming clients on the laptop, everything else to the server in another room.
I’m currently using a similar setup but with Jellyfin instead of kodi, working great for a few months.
