  • it’s so idiotic. They firmly believe that places are sitting vacant because Landlords “fear” evergreen leases. No. Places are sitting vacant because people refuse to pay $2500+ a month for a shoebox. They don’t get it. you lower prices and gasp people start paying. But all they can get through their thick as fuck skulls is a JG Wentworth commerical “I need cash now” they can’t think of the long term. Would you rather a consistent and steady income on your rental property over years with a tenant that has happy to pay decent rent? or would you rather potentially make more for a single year and then sit on a vacant unit because no one wants to pay your prices. And these morons pick “you’re saying I’ll have a lot of money for one year?”




  • First Doug and Chow demand a RTO initiative at the plea of downtown Toronto business owners and commercial landlords so that people will, essentially, be forced to buy and eat downtown. It’s not working as people simply refuse to pay. So their next brilliant idea is to get rid of bike lanes completely so that people driving will shop and eat downtown? that’s not going to work either. people are STILL going to refuse to pay. This won’t work and if anything is going to hurt businesses even more because people will simply continue to not shop downtown out of protest like they’re already doing.

    Why should I buy a $20 mediocre burger at some restaurant on king street when I can make my own lunch or a burger at home? why hop in my car and pay gas to go buy something when I can now just get it delivered on uber?

    It’s the same shit with their new proposals for renting. They refuse to acknowledge the ACTUAL issues and rather skirt around it with horrible infected bandaid solutions. We’re all broke. We all can’t afford the cost of living. Want us to live and work and shop downtown again? cool lower rents, lower the cost of everything, and the people will return and shop. Or, heaven forbid, wages increase across the board and STOP stagnating. You can’t force people to buy more when they dont’ have the money to buy more at an increased cost.







  • there is depending on what distro you’re on and the packages they provide for Plasma.

    Like Arch for example you can get a barebones basic version of KDE Plasma. NixOS you can tell it to ignore certain parts of Plasma from the package when you’re building it. I would assume other distros have something similar. This applies to the settings too. you can literally make your plasma include zero kwin stuff if you wanted.




  • I can go to McDonalds and pay $2 for an extra large double double which, imo, tastes better than the mud Timmies provides which costs more.

    The food has also gotten worse. Timbits taste like crap and most places now will only make you like at most 4 different flavours of timbits. It’s just overall crap. If they had just focused on coffee and donuts then awesome but they decided to try to make everything under the sun and none of it is good. Hell they even do pizza now.

    It also doesn’t help that the majority of their employees have no clue what they’re doing and they simply don’t care. hell I don’t blame them for caring, it’s a minimum wage bullshit job, but when you end up standing at the mobile order counter for longer than standing in line to order then what’s the point? you gotta wait until one of them cares enough to acknowledge that you ordered for a mobile pickup.

    It’s just overpriced crap.


  • yeah try turning off the hardware accelration on the browser…which browser btw?

    if the hardware accelration doesn’t work check the Lutris forums and/or discord to see if anyone has come across the issue. Have you tried running ESO via steam at all? potentially could also check it via protondb.com if you try to run it via steam.

    Generally though there should be scripts with Lutris to install it correctly. But i’d still check with the Lutris forum/discord (they’re really nice and helpful dudes) if the browser thing doesn’t work.



  • if Fortnite is a crucial element for you, and it sounds like it is, you’re going to have to dual boot.

    Games like Fortnite, League of Legends, Valorant, Apex Legends, recent Battlefields, etc aren’t going to work on Linux due to the fact Epic, Riot and EA decided kernel level anti-cheats were their “best” options.

    That being said the majority of games work on Linux and especially via Steam.

    As far as Distros go Bazzite is primarily focused on gaming. If you want something that will do both gaming and work stuff then I’d suggest CachyOS. It’s fast, very fast, great for both work and gaming. It will give you plenty of options for Desktop Environments on install and I would suggest you install it with KDE Plasma so you have a bit of familiarity coming from Windows.


  • I recently tried Gentoo, I liked it, dare I say I loved it. The problem is, I don’t have time for it. I would love to use it as a daily driver on my main rig but due to my work it would never fly.

    I am however thinking of putting it on my server where I just don’t need to spend time with it. I can compile and and just let it be while I do something else.
