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.

Agreed, I almost exclusively go to dominos for that carryout deal. I can get 3 meals worth for < 10 or one meals worth for twice the price. It’s a no brainer.

Sorry I havent been on lemmy as often so delayed reply.

My standard order is 2 bacon mcdoubles(currently $4.89 a piece), a large fry($4.99) and a lemonade($2.49) or a Mcafe($4.99), so it ends up being $17.29 for my food or 18.64 after tax, or if I wanted a cafe it would be 19.76 or 21.34 after tax.

Just 5 years ago I could get 2 bacon mcdoubles, 2 large fries, a 20 piece nugget and a lemonade for about 18$ (granted that was with a deal).

Back in 2016 I could get that same bacon burger meal above for a little over 12. I can’t warrent the price anymore.

I haven’t gone to a mcdonald’s by choice in almost 4 years now. When my meal rose from 12-13$ to 17-18$ I stopped going. Just for the chuckle I put that same meal into the app, it’s now 22$ after tax. yea no I’ll just go to apple bees or dominos and get more food for less.

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

I know they don’t wanna rock the boat after the ridicule they had after last review updates but, their review comments and forums could really use a little more tender love and care. Especially in the toxicity department. I know that a big portion of responsibility is publisher but, there is a lot of easily identifiable toxicity that if they did more moderation on (or even read existing reports) would be resolved really fast and make both areas a lot better for the user to enter. Like I personally don’t even allow comments on my reviews anymore because it very rarely allows for an actual constructive discussion, usually it devolves into toxicity from someone.

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.

LOL That’s literally a classic window bug. Try borderless-windowed. You’re welcome!

this doesn’t work sadly, I tried it already. it’s not the act of tabbing out that causes it, it’s the fact the window loses focus which is still done with borderless

You should probably try this again

I tried The isle 2 weeks ago but i guess I’ll try giving it another shot

Lol I literally play this one on linux, and no, it works 100% without any issues or bugs.

I don’t know what to tell you here. The phas proton db page for it is filled with others having the issue. Mic works in game, spirit box requires text mode, and no communication in lobby. I have tried GE 9-20, experimental, latest and bleeding edge, the issue remained. I have been waiting for another major update to hopefully address it. (I forgot to add, i have tried the launch option solution as well)

edit: made the parts I was referencing more clear cause full chain doesn’t show in notices.

sorry yea, I was moreso curious if you had seen a version that tended to work better than others so I didn’t include them!

Currently my main grievances is phasmaphobia which doesn’t let you talk in lobby, the spirit box is broken and campground maps have massive artifacting.

The Isle, which can’t play at night due to the sky being a rave

FF XIV which won’t pass the main launcher outside of a distro box (which currently works but bugs me)

Death stranding which hard freezes around BT’s

and Ark SE, which I personally hate the studio but, my friends still play so not having to wait 30+ minutes to enter a modded server would be /amazing/ lol

And star citizen which runs almost flawlessly on Windows with no lag, but crashes to a crawl on my main OS.

I have researched into these games quite extensively to try to find solutions and failed but if you have any ideas of what might be causing it, I’m all ears, or like before if you have any suggestions for versions that seem to work better I can default to those to maybe remove some troubleshooting time in the future.
