I need this for the nail salon. When is it hitting stores and for how much? (I didn’t see any mention of cost/availability in the article.)

I wish LibreOffice would do what OnlyOffice did and update their interface to something more modern. That, or I wish OnlyOffice would stop being so Russian.
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 2 days ago:
Yeah seriously; unless you’re an audiophile who spends extra on quality headphones, your Bluetooth buds are probably using the SBC codec, which cuts off frequencies at 16kHz and thus is hardly better than listening to a 128Kbps MP3. (In Android you can see what codec your headphones are using by going into the developer options.)
And to be honest, if you care enough about sound quality to spend extra on the high res tier in your streaming service of choice, you’re probably using wired headphones. Audiophiles don’t fuck with Bluetooth.

The easiest way to learn manual is to focus on one pedal at a time. Learn how to get the car moving using just the clutch pedal alone.
Seriously, don’t even touch the gas until you can accomplish this. Have someone in the passenger seat to operate the handbrake so that you don’t even have to worry about the brake pedal. Just operate the clutch and nothing else. If you can manage to get going from one pedal without stalling, you’re already 90% of the way there.
The next step is learning when to shift, but that comes naturally with practice. Eventually you’ll become in-tune with the sounds the engine is making, and then knowing when to shift becomes second nature.

Yeah no I just use the Steam app for authentication.

Since when do you have to link your phone number to your Steam account? I’ve had an account for as long as Steam has existed, and I’ve never been asked to provide my phone number.

You don’t? It is by far the best search engine for porn in existence, especially Bing Video.

This isn’t helpful at all.

As do I. Sorry, but KDE’s HDR support is trash; half implemented at best (and it doesn’t even support AutoHDR nor RTX HDR). Until that changes, I will continue to dual-boot Win11 and Arch.
Linux makes more sense for the GF than me, because her laptop has a basic 60Hz SDR display. It’s the perfect OS if you don’t have modern hardware.

She’s not stupid

How can I convince the GF to switch? She only plays The Sims and the occasional hentai game; her Skylake i5 and 1050ti are more than adequate for those tasks. Yet she refuses to switch; won’t even let me install LTSC to buy some time.
I think she just wants an excuse to buy a new laptop. She’s the kind of person who replaces her shower curtain every six months, rather than do the sane thing and simply wash it. I’ll never understand such a wasteful mentality.
- Comment on My PC is tired 1 week ago:
What they’re saying is that the lower cost of games balances out the cost of the PC. Accessories are cheaper too, and there’s no subscription fees to play online.
And like another person pointed out, you can spend the cost of a PS5 on a PC and you will get similar performance. You only have to pay more if you want better graphics than what the PS5 can do. It really is that simple.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 week ago:
I’m just not going to buy it. Boom.
If a game comes out that I really want to play (doubtful; I haven’t enjoyed a Nintendo title since the GameCube), I’m pirating the fuck out of it.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 week ago:
Because Japan’s copyright law is fascist as fuck. Fair use doesn’t even exist there.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 1 week ago:
Yeah seriously; this won’t even stop normies. Everybody knows how to take a picture with their phone. Why bother?
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 1 week ago:
Next time just use a Switch emulator. Sudachi is a good one.
You can even download Fitgirl Repacks of Switch titles that include the emulator already set up and ready to go. Literally just a one click install and you’re playing.
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 1 week ago:
This was my dad but thankfully he had ADHD, so he’d forget to hold a grudge after a day or two. Still, it was annoying that every single minor inconvenience was this great injustice made torture specifically him. He definitely was a narcissist with a healthy dose of main character syndrome thrown in for good measure.

I literally just bought the game so he better fucking not.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 1 week ago:
Again, it’s coming to PC. Every GTA game comes to PC eventually. Rockstar purposely waits 6+ months to announce the PC version, because they know people like you will double dip. It happens every single time, and you keep falling for it.
I’m not saying that Rockstar is in the right for doing it this way, but they keep doing it cause you keep forgetting that they do this every time. The downvotes prove it; none of y’all ever learn. That’s why I’m so annoyed.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 1 week ago:
Unless you have no plans to play Online, the money you’ll spend on Shark Cards trying to catch up with established players will far exceed $80. That’s why I stopped playing GTA V Online—I got tired of grinding for cash, just to keep up with the people who dedicate their lives to one game (I refuse to spend money on microtransactions in any game).

It’s coming to PC about a year later; chill the fuck out. You goldfish do this with every GTA release. It’s annoying as hell.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 1 week ago:
Y’all have been doing this with every GTA release since the very beginning of the series. I don’t know why everyone keeps falling for it. The PC port is coming; it always does. Most likely around Q4 2027, or Q2 2028 at the very latest.
Rockstar does this because people have very short term memories. They’re banking on your forgetfulness so that you’ll buy the console version, and then the PC version as well when they announce it a year later. The Rockstar double dip is their signature move.

Fuck

Sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

OnlyOffice is good too if you want a more modern interface.
- Comment on Has Reddit acknowledged the existence of Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
I would never have known that Lemmy existed, if it weren’t for redditors telling me about it around the time Spez went nuclear on 3rd party apps. And here I thought that everyone on Lemmy came from reddit.
FWIW, I’ve heard that they’ve recently been censoring any mentions of Lemmy. They’re obviously afraid of reddit becoming a repeat of digg. Which is why they’ve been slowly enshittifying the place instead of doing all at once like digg did. Fuck reddit, and fuck Spez.
- Comment on The 17th Year Anniversary of the Fediverse network is upon us! 2 weeks ago:
Seventeen years!? God dayum!
And here I thought the Fediverse was 6-7 years old tops. Wild that the concept is just now starting to gain traction.
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 2 weeks ago:
If you’re willing to get a base model, sure. The PS5 Pro is a $700 console, and that’s not including the subscription fee for multiplayer (which doesn’t exist on PC unless you’re into MMOs).
