  • I still remember after the big corruption scandal around 2015 etc, thinking it’ll be great to see a less corrupt FIFA.

    Haha, so so so wrong

    Infantino puts his predecessors, to shame. Praising the head of a nation who has bombed multiple countries in the upcoming tournament which they are jointly hosting. It’s so fucking insane! Obv Trump’s crimes are too long to list but for the head of FIFA to share such a crazy statement… It actually beggars belief












  • Aw shit, this sucks because my company uses this authentication method.

    I guess when the change finally happens I’ll just be saying ‘you owe me a phone for this’. Absolutely no way i am going back to Android just for this on my personal phone.

    One possible workaround is to add more options to your security info in your work account. For example, I added my number and also a specific password as an option last year when I moved onto Graphene and had to update that info. Would that be an option?

    Unsure if that would even work or if those options are more for account recovery (when no longer have access to a specific device)


  • The hubris lol… Oh the hubris!

    “Who needs beta testing or early access, we made Anthem, this will be brilliant! Who needs a staff, we can run it with the bare minimum.”

    Feel sad for all the devs who already lost their jobs a few weeks back n now these last few left but fuck that company! Thought they could simply profit off all the work from their staff by sacking them all immediately after release.

    Sometimes companies do get exactly what they deserve.






  • It really depends on the banking app, for example mine used google play store to download but doesnt need it to run at all (updates happen from it though). So i can run it on my main profile with GPS (google play store) disabled.

    Protip - Download something like the Shelter app so you can set up a Work profile space and install the apps that need GPS to run n then this can be the space where you have these apps. Shelter has a really handy feature that lets you get notifications from these apps when on another profile n can send files between. Best of all you can pause the work space, basically stops all apps.

    At the start i had quite a few GPS apps here but I’ve slowly using less n less. At the moment there are three apps there that I need for work but only rarely so really need to unpause that space like 2% of the time.

    P.S - try and ensure the apps on your main profile are not downloaded from GPS/Aurora Store. You can check the app info to see which store you downloaded them from. If you can, get them from other stores (others have given good tips on those already) or their own websites/githubs. Basically want to have zero connected apps n can disable google play store n services on your main profile.



  • I am with ya. I completed it first time, took a while to get used to, very flawed game but did enjoy it. Basically became very powerful (fed on everybody lol).

    On a replay trying to be ‘good’, it just annoys me that so much fun is taken away from you and it makes a tedious game excruciatingly tedious. Like i get it, making your choice to be good have consequences and you live with them. But that choice also directly stands in the way of fun. Dropped that playthrough after couple hrs.

    Still would recommend for 90% off though.

    How weird is it that there aren’t more good vampire games? Like hasn’t been a single ‘great’ game since Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines and even then, that was a pretty terribly made game. Unofficial patches and mods made that great! Seems to be such a gap in the market.

    I think Vampyr comes with some serious jank, similar to VtMB before it, although doesn’t come close to its grestness, unfortunately.


  • Since you specifically mentioned gaming and streaming, a great option for you as a beginner is Nobara.

    It is built specifically for gaming and streaming and has many of the tools pre-installed and makes DaVinci Resolve setup really easy (is a challenge otherwise lol). It’s based on Fedora, heavily modified kernel for performance and makes Fedora ready for gaming out of the box (which is why I discourage Fedora for gaming as a beginner, that takes a lot of set up for gaming and nvidia).

    Nobara is also great for beginners because it comes with some brilliant GUI options - apps that let you click onto the specific drivers, packages you might need and the Welcome app includes options step by step of what to install. You will mostly use such an app for updates, so it takes away a lot of the fear of the terminal (but you can still use no problem). It also includes some great options for streaming apps you’ll need.

    Also comes with KDE as its main suggestion (Nobara version of it or pure KDE, very little difference, basically the same with a few extra Nobara icons added i think). KDE is a fantastic DE, the workflow is similar to Windows out of the box and you won’t be unfamiliar with it, great one to start with. Plus its so customisable so you can get it looking very different from windows if you wish (which i did with mine).

    They have a great Discord too if you wanna ask any questions about specific games or issues. It’s basically Fedora but gentler learning curve and everything you need ready to go out of the box
