Democrats were literally rolling on a much needed win this past week and then yesterday 8 of "them" decided "nah fam, we can't let that momentum to continue to roll"
Christ on a cracker someone check their bank accounts and/or driveways for new cars. And of course Fetterman is one of them.
for me they're a "last ditch effort". If I can't get something working correctly on NixOS then i'll just settle for the flatpak but it's not often that happens. for example I only have 3 flatpaks on my system one of which is discord simply because I found the voice comms work better with the flatpak than the native package.
I might end up switching to appimages though to see if they're any better.
the ONLY thing I can think of is sometimes, at least for me, on wayland it will switch the naming on my second monitor between either DP-1 or HDMI-A-1 randomly for whatever reason. bit of a very minor pain if I'm using a WM where I have to go in and edit the config to switch it but on KDE it's not an issue. that's literally the only thing I can think of.
Loved the first game. I still have my Max Payne mouse pad that came with it. Second one was alright. I don't think I ever finished the third.

you hit the nail on the head. Americans believe the book still works. you can go in various threads be it on lemmy, piefed, reddit, etc and still the rhetoric "remember people, vote them out in the midterms!" is still being posted. Meanwhile a Democratic Rep from Arizona who DID win is STILL waiting to be sworn in. So the Republican Party/Current Dictatorship is clearly showing the American people that voting doesn't matter. that they can simply block people who did win via votes from doing their jobs. Americans still don't understand that. They still firmly believe that they'll win the midterms by a landslide but...what then? the republican party can simply and president can simply say "nah, we're good" and just stay in power. whose to stop them? and the current administration is hedging on that bet.
I'm not an American but I can kinda understand why. Gotta tow that line. A good chunk of Americans are on the verge of homelessness and all their healthcare is tied directly to their employment. So rioting, looting grocery stores, etc runs a risk of not only being arrested or killed but also losing their jobs and thus losing their healthcare. The US Government has done a brilliant job over the decades of establishing a system preventing people from revolting.
Now one can argue that other countries would revolt and they'd also lose said things mentioned above because how can you get healthcare if you're actively fighting the system that provides it? But Americans don't know that. They've been conditioned to, again, tow the line.
Add to the fact there's zero leadership for said revolt. Literally none. This isn't like Black Lives Matter where there was an organization rallying everyone. I mean the proof is in the pudding just look at the No Kings protests. when do those happen? on the weekend, on a Saturday, when the vast majority are off work.
Now if those protests happened at 11am on a Tuesday I'd be impressed, but as it stands right now? that ain't happening any time soon. They need leadership, they have none.
just upgraded my instance. pretty good, very smooth and yay animated profile avatars!
ugh I know. In hindsight I would have never bought it.
yeah it works flawlessly on Wayland, that wasn't what I was saying. I'm saying on x11 it doesn't work for gaming because of the setup. Say I want to use I3 or Herbstfluftwm. If I open a game and ONLY stay on that game it's fine. but if I navigate away from it to look at a web browser or check discord and then toggle back to the game it results in a black screen or simply shows the desktop and the game is unresponsive. And from what I was able to find online the consensus seems to be it's because x11 doesn't play well with integrated and discrete dual GPUs.
