I hadent heard of him until BL4 was released, but man does he seem like a real big piece of work lol

As someone who went through the 12-13 upgrade last week. Do not go directly. I had to rollback twice during the 12-13 upgrade(thank you timeshift) so I couldn’t imagine trying to run an 11-13 upgrade.

It helps you when you are not sure if you want the building or not though, since it lets you start the process without locking yourself into a long term commitment. Additionally not all rent to own have a specific timeframe to pay it. Many are just cumulative and can be bailed whenever the leases run out, and the only thing the renter is out of is the extra money paid.

An addition to this statement as well. People always seem to find renting and owning as two polar opposites, but this doesn’t have to be the case. A landlord can also do something called rent to own, car dealerships do the same. It’s where you can rent for as long as you want, and it is known up front that the rent payments partially contribute towards the cost of the loan, eventually the amount paid via rental is equal to the market value(plus usually whatever the landlord stated they wanted their profit of it being) or a big enough prepayment to be able to afford an actual loan or full payment on it, and at that point the deed/title is transferred over to the renters(or the loan company if they went that route). It’s an alternative to getting a mortgage, and it benefits both parties because the renter could decide to leave any time (once their current lease expires or unless stated otherwise) and the landlord is still getting their profits (and in many cases a higher profit due to the way it works). Generally speaking with these types of agreements though, the rental cost is higher than others to make up for the downpayment as well.

It depends on how you are looking at it. Since you called it “Investment properties” I have to assume you plan to maximize profits on it so I would have to say yes it is. However if you are renting the property out for a minimum value and only charging enough to be able to cover costs and the mortgage and maybe a minor income on the side, I don’t think it is. Obviously you need to cover expenses for the property or else someone else who won’t do the same is going to obtain it.

BUT, if you are trying to maximize return and charging as much as you can, then yes it is super hypocritical to be defending the cause while contributing to the other side of the cause. I still think defending is better than just ignoring it but, yea it isn’t helping your case if anyone ever finds out you do.

I do the same thing at mcdonalds. “Will you be using myrewards today?”. It doesn’t matter what you say it won’t help you get your order done any faster

My assumption on it is that the files wern’t synced to begin with. I looked the issue up on the site’s discussion area and it looks like it had a major sync issue a few years back where it wasn’t always syncing folders automatically and completly so files got left out.

Woah, you separated it already? that’s insane. Defo checking it out! Cheers!

Honestly, this is a really innovative project. I wish it came in an extension because I feel that is likely your biggest bottleneck for getting people to try it. I don’t think many are going to build a browser from source & then port all their stuff over strictly for the integration. Plus it looks like a primary advertisement for it is that integration, but it also disables a lot of the QoL features that FF has that some don’t have any problem with. Like the fact that Sync is removed as a whole is a major dealbreaker for me, as I do like the feature and I am not concerned about the privacy aspects of having it on.

If an extension version ever releases for the lemmy integration though, I would for sure be looking at that!

The downside of using a lesser known cloud service, you take chances like this. I had never heard of ice drive previously.

I believe I tried that as well, but I’ll try it again when I have the chance just in case.

You just answered my question. I was going to ask you earlier and then forgot to hit send. Because I thought plasma actually looked really slick, so I was going to recommend it. Especially with how customizable it is.

The biggest annoyance that was to get used to was the change in overall size of the menu bars, but once you’ve been using Linux for a week or two, it actually hurts your eyes going back onto Windows again.

Of course, your metrics may vary because every person’s situation is different, but I went through my associates and my bachelor’s CIS degree with very minor issues issues., Many colleges will state that it requires windows for the course, but then you’re able to use something like LibreOffice just fine. Like technically, the only course that I ever had to actually use windows for was my Microsoft Office course and that’s self-explanatory of why I needed Windows for that lol

I did try GameScope as well. It launched with it, however, I wasn’t able to actually interact with it(nor was any of the text easily decipherable), but it was my first time trying to use GameScope as well, so I don’t know if I just screwed something up with it, or if it wasn’t compatible. Other games were able to run with the same setup using it, so I figured it just wasn’t compatible.

If it is a system file issue, I’m not sure what it would be because I’ve already tried nuking out the wine and proton versions and reinstalling them and that had zero luck. And I have similar issues between lutris and steam in terms of it as well, and those should use completely separate paths

Thank you for your assistance regardless. And yes, I have noticed indie games ironically do tend to function a lot better than AAA titles, I do play quite a few indie games as well.

I prefer simulation style games but it defo isn’t a hard lock to the genre… I fell into the money trap that is humble bundle choice and every month I end up getting another 7 or 8 games which is why they add up fast, and I accumulate faster than I can play lol. I’ve never been very good at sticking to one game and playing it for an extended period of time.

Also, if you do end up playing Star Citizen again, definitely use the custom wine runner their LUG forum has, it’s one of the few that let’s it through EAC, But where it says to have 32 gigs of native ram, and 8 gigs of swap, definitely bump that up to like 15 gigs minimum of swap because it’s rough and was bottlenecking still at 32 native with 10 gb of SWAP. it’s still laggy as heck, but at least it will be somewhat playable.

anyway thanks again lol happy gaming!

I’m sorry, but you’re misreading what they mean by support in that article because I did read it. They’re still gonna give support regarding the ESU program as a whole(otherwise they would be sued for fraud), which includes installation, activation, and regressions of the program. What they’re not going to be providing is general technical support which is a different beast, If you would like more information, you can read about it here as well.

It’s a different system if I understand the article correctly. It looks like its just a Microsoft account not a one drive sub. I’m expecting they are just going to only allow 10 computers per account and then when it hits max it stops getting support on new systems (since updates are involved I doubt they will let you remove devices like with the current activation system). Now I do expect that the payment is the same system, and considering their dark tactics at trying to get you to subscribe and update, I do assume this is going to make it easier to accidentally spend money or subscribe to other services though.

Honestly I firmly agree with this. If it doesn’t work with wine nowadays unless it’s a big thing i just don’t involve myself with it.
