Old Intel crapbook air from 2013 or 2015. The battery life wasn’t ever great, but it significantly diminished when i changed them to linux. I expected an increase…

very bad, sadly

installed Linux Mint on various apple macbooks i got second hand and the battery life is abysmal.

the witcher 3 is great It shows short sentences but Geralt doesn’t exactly say that and usually develops a little more. If you are impatient, you can choose a simple sentence and skip the talking without losing the general meaning. You can also listen to the whole thing.

i hate it

those promises don’t constrain them in any way other than PR. They can promise anything they like and are completely free to do whatever they want after that

we are going through a very authoritarian drift right now. Flashballs used to be exclusively used against terrorists, hostage situations : 19 000 were fired during the yellow jjackets crisis and they’re now basic police equipment. Drone usage is increasing, the government bought 90 armored personnel carriers with multiple grenade launchers exclusively for riot control… and now the phone spying.

edited to add : they’re also starting to qualify any protesters as “terrorists”. Climate activists planning to disassemble an inanimate, illegally-built, ecocidal infrastructure ? they get the eco-terrorist tag.

Mandatory Dishonored 1 and 2 recommendation, but Prey is also very good

The game doesn’t really want you to spare enemies. It’s just that there are 3 different ways to play the game and 3 different flavors of the story : low, mid and high chaos. I think you should feel free to massacre everyone, and then maybe start over a new game and try lower chaos !

Same here with Vivaldi.

yes i’m talking about the startup speed. It’s not as bad as snap, but noticeably slower with some apps (it can be annoying for a web browser for example)

Flatpaks are my second choice when there isn’t a recent enough version in the repos. They’re fine but take 1. too much storage space, and 2. are usually slower

Well, the average indian household probably doesn’t own 2 or 3 cars, doesn’t eat meat everyday and doesn’t have a huge house

i’ve been distro-hopping a lot and always come back to linux mint. It’s that one distro i can’t fuck up when fiddling with things. it just works
