let me guess. you need more
>>107643865this mouse is bad, I had a first gen deathadder and the scroll fell apart 10 years later, got this one and the scroll just disintegrated in mere months, also the general quality is cheap as fuck, pure trash
>>107649233Cheap Razer mice suck, their higher end ones are good though, optical switches, optical wheels.
>>107643865>>107644011Actually yes I do need more. I have a Deathadder Essential, but i replaced the skates with pure PTFE round dots and added the grip tape on top before i could call it usable. Also the razer software is literal cancer. Sorry, plebs, my hand is too noble to hold the raw plastic without a grippy surface coating.
>>107643865I need it to not double-click after 3 years, consistently.I love the Deathadder, but the relability of it leaves a lot to be desired.
>>107643865Yes

After two distros in I have come to the conclusion I might want to try not using a distro and instead just setup sections as I need them where I need themI need more simplicity
>>107649642You aren't going to get simplicity with the current day linux. If you want simplicity you need to go back to 1997 and use Irix or something..

>Use KDE gayland, everything is slow, low fps, input lag, weird frame pacing that doesnt feel smooth even with a smooth frametime graph in games>Use X11 with Xmonad Tiling window manager, It just werks, everything werks, no latency or input lag>High FPS, gaming just werks and I get 20fps+ more than gayland for some reason and its buttery smooth>Fast with zero bloat, Configure everything to my likingAt this point, I wont even use any desktop environment on linux if it isn't X11. Even XFCE is dead to me because it has wayland support. I will never support anything wayland based on linux.I'm X11 pilled.
>>107648914>I don't have meltdowns This thread says differently.
>try x11 on laptop>screen tearing while scrolling
>>107648977Every application is free to make use of the present extension to prevent tearing.Talk to your application vendorA global vsync lock like on Wayland or composited X11 will make latency metrics considerably worse.

I got reeally nice Invicta pro diver from amason for 80$ it really is a steal no 38 mm that's a women's size lol, 43mm is way to go. Automatic all the way because quartz is not a watch though lume is not as good as my marathon lol. What do you think guys?— Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
>>107649649i could not care less about your watch but is your loudspeaker 2.1 or 2.passive
I keep telling myself faggot you are a grown man, earning big salary, be a man and not a kid anymore and buy a good respectable automatic watch but this thing that looks like a kids toy I have on my wrist is pure perfection of engineering and utility and usability
>>107639585>its actually 3atm, which translates to 3mYou are a retard indeed. 1 ATM = 10m = ~33 burger units
>>107644226>recharge your fucking watch daily goy, why don't youWhy?
Pic is the model of watch I wear. It's pretty decent, but I regret not spending more for the metal version.>>107639585>3m, kek. you can barely wash your hands with that.Do you get picked up by the ankles and dunked underwater like Achilles whenever you need to wash your hands?

How do I get my friends to use Telegram? It is so much better than other slop applications.
>>107648008you ask themwhat the fuck else do you expectgod damn these threads just keep getting more and more retarded And NO I'm not fucking reading that retarded wall of text that you posted to be edgy
By "so much better" you mean "RT and its reposts is blocked in the USA on it"
>>107648008Better how?
>>107648008Make them switch to Signal or Session at the very least?!
>>107648008>How do I get my friends to use Telegram?Get them addicted to the wackiest political bullshit imaginable. The classic facebook->youtube->telegram pipeline works on boomers for a reason.

>>107649336Wanna see?
>>107649378I already see
>>107649213>what am I supposed to be looking at?The folder icons were updated recently. pic rel are previous
>>107649626I'll be honest I'm retarded and didn't even notice. updated mine recently though, fuckcould've been worse I guess
>>107648426so there are new icons and they are flat?if that's the case that suckselementary had actually good icons and not shit flat designin my opinion it was the only linux desktop that looked decent nowadays even though I use wms
Linux is often sold as progress, but philosophically it feels like a step backward. The people who shaped the field at its best, Engelbart, Alan Kay, Licklider, were trying to make computers amplify human thought, not turn users into part time system administrators. Engelbart wanted integrated systems that helped people reason, collaborate, and build knowledge. Kay imagined the computer as a living medium, something you could understand, reshape, and learn from. Linux goes in the opposite direction. It inherits the Unix mindset where the system is a miserable little pile of loosely connected tools and the human is expected to glue them together through arcane commands and configuration files. Complexity is not reduced, it is pushed onto the user and normalized as a virtue. Instead of higher level concepts, Linux clings to decades old abstractions like everything being a file, text streams as universal interfaces, and shells as the main way to think. The result is a system no single person can fully understand, held together by conventions, folklore, and cargo cult practices. What makes this worse is the culture that formed around it. A common trait among Linux enthusiasts is a mix of resentment and shallow elitism, where struggling with the system is reframed as proof of intelligence or moral superiority. Difficulty becomes a badge of honor rather than a design failure. Many users overestimate their understanding, mastering a narrow set of commands and rituals while mistaking familiarity for depth. This Dunning–Kruger confidence feeds contempt for ordinary users and for systems that aim to be coherent and humane, as if usability were a flaw rather than the point. Instead of demanding better abstractions, the culture defends rough edges as character building. In that sense, Linux does not just fall short technically. It fosters an attitude that resists the ideals of clarity, empathy, and intellectual humility that the great figures of computing actually stood for.
>>107646962Why would I subject myself to having my OS send "telemetry" data that I can't inspect to the Mossad, Recall making screenshots of my entire screen every 30 seconds so glowniggers can check on everything I do, several gigabytes of RAM wasted even when the desktop is empty, and using slow-ass ReactNative apps?The ONLY reason for using Windows is if you're too poor for Apple and too dumb for Linux.

You'll only read/watch/play 1% of that stuff in your entire life.
>>107641451Imagine that through the year, random objects and possessions you own simply vanish, or are repossessed without warning or compensation because the corporation that made it wants to recover money. You have no control over when or what, or if it was important.That's what happens if you rely on the internet instead of saving your own copies.
>>107641451>check game store>original game has been removed and replaced with a 3x more expensive downgrade>ctrl+f through hard drive containing every single rom/iso from a particular console>game is still thereIt's a good feeling. It does not happen often but that occasional 1% makes it quite worth it.
>>107641735Yeah, it's really fun to revisit stuff from a couple years back. It really is a shame that I've never bothered to back anything up prior to 2017 or so.I think it started with some youtube video getting deleted and then I just started to save the stuff that I liked and wasn't sure if it's going to stay up.

The team collected videos where creators show an on-screen gamepad overlay to train the AI. NitroGen learned to map gameplay pixels to gamepad actions. It currently only works with controller based games. nitrogen.minedojo.org
