  • Bluetooth mic is currently broken for everyone that uses wireplumber and libwireplumber.

    Which is basically everyone using the up to date version of those packages.

    This affects everyone. If you turn on your Bluetooth mic on it the system hard crashes.

    Yes. I’m using it right now. There are many ridiculous broken things like the one mentioned above. I can give you a few more that affect everyone if you want.

    I really feel like I’m being gaslit by people here on Lemmy saying that their system doesn’t randomly breaks. When major functions just break out of nowhere for everyone and stay broken for arbitrary number of weeks or months.




  • I’ve traveled the world playing tournaments for a little bit. Won a few. Crashed out in some others…

    The big conventions feel insanely cool. It’s like you’re in the game but irl. You are walking down the elevator of your hotel and it feels like just being in the game when you are surrounded by people that you with. It’s super cool having people come up and hug you and you go “oh who’s this?” And it often turns out it’s people that you have shared hundreds of hours with.

    The actual competition I’ve always felt it’s all about who can play the least bad. As far as I could tell. Everyone plays worse on stage. For a multitude of reasons. At the end I was playing extremely chill and care free and it showed in the results.

    Also something less obvious. Tournaments always developed their own meta. Which I always heard comments from people from home “why didn’t you follow this meta thing. Why did you play such weird strategies?”. It’s because truly if there’s a big competition going on. Everyone good is there. And it’s not even worth getting practice on the normal servers. You have to scrim over and over the people there and that develops its own meta.

    Is it worth it? Uhhh. I’ll always cherish those memories. They were truly great years. But I would say for me nah. Not worth it. I’ve always wanted my career and life to be about some other things. And as much fun and surprisingly how well it all paid. I don’t think it was worth the many years I spent doing that and nothing else.

    Amazing memories though.

    Oof. Hard to say. I did it for so long and so early in life that I’m not even sure what would have happened had I not done it.

    I don’t like mental meds though. And I don’t think any of them ever helped me. They have always either made me extremely risky behavior prone or just numb where the days blend together and months go by in the blink of an eye.

    It’s not a hard problem to understand.

    The Democratic Party is a right wing party already as it is. Center-right at best. And they are trying to court the fascist vote.

    They brought the Cheneys on stage for fucks sake.

    Problem is that Trump does fascism better than they ever could. So they are not getting those votes. But they are alienating the left vote and those people won’t show up.

    In addition to that the demonization of men by the online left is pushing the newer generations right.

    A random man is not more dangerous than a random bear.

    Pushing shit like this in the face of impressionable young people does harm and makes sure they know you do not have their back. So why should they have yours ?
