I said cheaters, not suspected cheaters. I know that’s unrealistic, because no anticheat software is perfect, but I still want it.

Caaaaaarl, that kills people.

Ha! Get fucked, losers. Cheaters ruin the fun for everyone, so I hope every last one gets permabanned.

My job, mostly.

I use Uptime Robot to tell me if anything goes wrong, and I need to be able to VPN into my work network and restart services if they go down. A flip phone can’t do that.

Let’s spruce up this genocide. We don’t want people thinking this is their dad’s genocide. This is hip, new genocide.

I swear, this time we really have found the fountain of youth!

Considering the Steam Deck is not a deck, and the Valve Index is not an index, I’m assuming this is not a frame.

Oh wait, Steam Controller.

Steam Fream™️

You don’t even know what it is.

Oh, I forgot about Cormorant! Yes, I absolutely love that font. I did my wedding invitations entirely in Cormorant and Cormorant Sans for the titles. Thanks for reminding me, and letting me know about the others! Font nerds unite!

The only reason I can’t really buy one is that my job requires a really color accurate display, and the display on it is only like 66% sRGB. I’m hoping they release one with a better screen, cause other than that, it looks so awesome!

If convertibles would work for you, the new Framework 12 looks really nice. It’s not the best machine for the money, but very repairable. I have a Framework 13 and I love it.

I also mentioned Ubuntu.

I’m assuming their excuse is that it was terrorist bread.

Genocide.

I legitimately hate it. Trash font. Hard to read and fucking ugly. It looks like it’s almost an OCR font.

As much as I hate Google, I have to admit Roboto is a great font. Same with Microsoft and Segoe UI.

But, there will never, ever, ever be a better font than Palatino. Adobe’s Garamond Pro (and most Garamond knockoffs) are close, but Palatino is just amazing in every way. Specifically, Palatino Linotype is the best Palatino version.

That being said, Palatino doesn’t make a great display font. For that, I would much prefer Cantarell over that Nokia font.

Also, Ubuntu fonts are S tier. I don’t care if you disagree.

You can upgrade the SSD in a Steam Deck instead of using an SD card. It is pricey though.

If AI contributes to that goal without stealing intellectual property, compromising privacy or the open web, we will use it. If it turns people into passive consumers, we will not.

So they didn’t really make a stand.

Jesus Christ, those messages are dark as fuck. ChatGPT is not safe.

Check out Helvum for routing audio through Pipewire. It’s a patchbay that just lets you drag and drop the wires to connect things. I use Carla, personally, which lets you also add things like compressors and sidechains, but Carla is a lot heavier, so Helvum is a good place to start.

Also, anything that works for JACK should work for Pipewire, because Pipewire implements a JACK compatible audio server.

Technically, ALSA is always running and controlling the hardware directly, but it can only accept one audio stream, so you put an audio server in front of it to allow multiple streams. It used to be just JACK for professional stuff and Pulseaudio for consumer stuff. Then Pipewire came along as the best of both worlds. It uses Wireplumber to manage the session (connect things automatically), and implements a JACK compatible server and a Pulse compatible server so everything can connect to it.

It is designed for that stuff, but it’s not designed for Linux novices. Any distro can do that kind of stuff. Ubuntu Studio makes choices that are _only _ intended for that kind of stuff. Pipewire is almost as good as JACK in that regard. The only difference is Pipewire has slightly higher latency. Ubuntu Studio also has a very slim desktop environment and a real-time optimized kernel that are specifically to reduce latency in audio and video processing. Unless you need real-time audio and video processing with extremely low latency (like you’re streaming and using tens of audio/video sources), I would highly recommend trying out another distro. Ubuntu Studio is a very good distro, but it is not user friendly. I would say you have to be quite familiar with Linux to have a good time with Ubuntu Studio.

Since you’re using your machine for other things besides content creation, a general purpose OS should be what you’re aiming for. I’d recommend either Mint or Fedora.
