Mozilla flunks 25 major car brands for data privacy fails in c/[email protected]

I skimmed through their privacy policy and I'm not confident Mozilla would approve. They can share the telemetry that comes from your car, including it's physical location.

Yes the GameCube version's controls sucked, it's a bit better on the PS2 IMO.

The MLB Slugfest series. I don't even like baseball, but they'd sneak these one liners into regular commentary and it just killed me.

Canadian islands because I ran out of bears.

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I bought a System76 Pangolin 11, then replaced it with a ThinkPad X13 within a few months because the battery life was trash. Total workhorse but it would die on me in meetings if I was sharing my screen.

It doesn't make much of a difference in the kernel, but I definitely notice it on Debian's Firefox vs Flatpak.

Something a Gentoo user might care about is the distro's compile time options. Ubuntu uses -O2 and LTO, Debian uses -O1. Debian has always been noticably slower overall for me.

Don't do what I did and go with Tumbleweed. It gets more updates than Arch.

How bad is battery life on Linux laptop? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I have a System76 Pangolin 11 with the Ryzen 7 and the battery life is trash. It would die on me during meetings from a full charge if I was sharing my screen. Not blaming System76 on this one, its probably the AMD chipset all things considered.

Replaced it with the Thinkpad X13 Gen 2 and love it. Easily gets 8 to 10 hours on OpenSUSE, and everything just works.

What is the new CentOS that is similar to RHEL? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

SLE and OpenSUSE are pretty popular. They merge sources every release.

What game mechanics do you love and hate? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Love:

Base building. Fortifying against enemies and being creative is a blast.
Exploration and big worlds. Games like Borderlands, Fallout and Far Cry with unique environments and ambiance.

Hate:

Escort missions. After all these years they're still not fun.
Excessive health bars. Having to carry several different kinds of potions, etc. One of my favorite games is Dark Cloud for the PS2, but I think it had health, mana, weapon health, thirst and effects like poison that never cleared until you took a certain potion. I believe I used a GameShark or similar to get rid of thirst and weapon health.
