oh - my apologies, I forgot that on-board graphics have a dedicated chipset. Also, no idea whether on-board sound would have used CPU power back in the late days of soundcards, as the comment I responded to was claiming… might have been a sound chip for that, too…

I seem to recall the integrated sound wasn’t used either, when I had my sound card in - the audio connectors were going directly into the sound card.

And of course there was a short period of time where a sound card wasn’t required, but would actually improve performance by offloading audio processing to your sound card if you had one

we are at this point in history, but for graphics cards :)

People who lobby with decision makers at major distributions for their software to be made the de-facto standard, instead of leaving it to the userbase, have a deeply anti-democratic mindset, and that makes them assholes.

“barely any” is neither entirely accurate, nor does it excuse the use of flatpaks.

I’m not blindly hating. I despise the asshole responsible for the choice being taken away from me for many major distros and I wish him the plague for his manipulative approach in getting there.

and a giant “fuck you” to Lennart Poettering for that. Not for creating an init system option - but for lobbying it into major distributions, instead of letting the users decide what they prefer. May he forever stub his toes on furniture.

beyond root processes, none that I am aware of. Hence I configured all my internet applications and steam to run in a jail :) firejail & bubblewrap come as native packages, unlike the flatpak contents

isn’t flatpak by definition relying on a second software source, hence 2x as much risk as relying on a single source (your OS repo)?

Thank me later.

Oh, so this is why she makes these loud muauw sounds even an hour after eating her full ;) (No, she actually wants to play then)

N00b. True pros accomplish O((n^2)!)

May I suggest you spend time with your cat & not online? All the best!

Beat me to it. Great read :)

it’s reading lemmy right now :p

Oh, a person of taste! :) May I recommend BunnyTrack maps? I played those a lot in the 2015 timeframe and enjoyed myself immensely.

Unreal Tournament 99 and Everquest. But those don’t even come close to needing a fraction of the hardware you procured :D

Yes we do live in a dystopian nightmare. It’s just that most people posting here, including myself, live a fucking privileged life, where we don’t have to share the same worries that about 80% of the world population have, including a large part of even the US population nowadays.

We (the privileged people) are the baddies from all those dystopian stories.

yeah, that’s another epic IT fail of humanity
