I once had a dream that I went with my family to visit an old family friend (not seen in years) for dinner, but they lived in a different (i.e fictional) house that I had never been to before. Normally this wouldn’t seem strange but when I woke up and told another adult family member, they looked completely shocked. It turns out they had also dreamt of this exact same scenario that night set in the same fictional house. We could describe the setting and events in detail and both had exactly the same experience but from different perspectives in the dream.

I have no doubt there is some psychological explanation for this phenomenon but regardless it was quite an interesting experience.

wired > 2.4 ghz > Bluetooth There are limitations that make Bluetooth annoying to deal with (unable to interact with BIOS using a Bluetooth keyboard for instance)

The first time you do a presentation and forget how to add an external display, that was what made me stick with a full DE.

I run MSFS 2024 using proton on Linux, and have had reasonable success running other native windows addons (BeyondATC, opentrack for head tracking with webcam) in the same proton prefix by installing using protontricks then launching them all using the “exe.xml” trick for MSFS (see: forums.flightsimulator.com/t/…/350698). I just do manual keybinds for my hardware inside the sim and it all works well, as a bonus performance seems a bit higher than on Windows.

Start (multiple) programs on MSFS startup with this exe.xml 'tip'

You can start (multiple) programs, exe, dll (Littlenavmap.exe, headtracker, The Skypark etc. etc.) on MSFS startup with this .xml file. It is normaly used for plugins to load on startup (Logitech panels). The file is/should be located/created in AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\exe.xml for the Windows Store version. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0"> <Descr>SimConnect</Descr> <Filename>SimC...

Ironically the easiest way to play Fallout 3 these days is on Linux via Proton where it works perfectly.

Already was planning on never buying Intel due to their ties with American government and having a fab in Israel, so go ahead Intel, dig that hole a little deeper.

And the best part is that this is driven by economics, not even policy at this point. Renewables are cheaper.

I wonder if this also reflects a general shift away from Ubuntu of if the phenomenon is mostly limited to the gamer demographic.
