This is a bad omen for starfield imo. All the games i got with my AMD components last year (e.g. forspoken) were garbage. Maybe Bethesda is anticipating that they can’t keep up with the hype around the game which will be badly optimized or buggy at launch (like any other bethesda game) and try to save some profit.

But then again, most gamers have the worst impulse control and will even buy a steaming piece of shit if there’s a possibility to preorder it.

Most people working on big media productions (movies, shows, games) get a fixed price or salary for doing so. The owners / publishers (maybe also big stars in movies which already are millionaires) get all of the rest when a production sells good.

So by buying / paying for subscription services you only support big c-suite assholes which sit on the rights to media which they have contributed nothing to, except for capital maybe. I won’t pay some intransparent big corporation to be able to watch a 10 year old movie / show just to make those people richer.

Well, those games you listed are good indeed, maybe i just bought my gear at a bad time. It just confuses me a little this happens to a game that is being waited for so badly. If they would be confident to successfully sell their game to end users, they wouldn’t need to force it on AMDs customers. On the other hand, maybe AMD is the one profiting from this deal since it could push their sold units.

I went fulltime Linux and therefor bought a full AMD system (better drivers) one year ago. I played about 15 games the last year, some of them AAA titles, rarely had problems, and all of them could be fixed by looking on protondb.com (unless the problems came from the game itself of course).

There are some titles which will not support Linux on purpose although it surely would run just fine, for whatever reasons, e.g. fortnite.

As others have said, Librewolf and Waterfox are both forks of Firefox.

That said, i am using Firefox on Fedora from the repos with no issues. Do you use the snap version? Ubuntu ships it default and it is as trash as snaps are in general (it has exactly the problem you stated, taking too long to open). There are guides to install the .deb version (apt installs the snap version…) or you could use flatpak. Another thing to check is if you have a new addon / plugin running thats hogging resources.

I don’t want to question your debugging skills, but imo you’re lucky to have found that out at all.

Some libraries have these to scan books fast. My old university had one to scan really old books (about 1500). I’m sure it could be used on magazines, you just have to find a library that has one AND is willing to let you use it.

It’s the conventionally correct answer indeed, but everything that does the job is correct here. Cutting open the bindings and letting it run through a scanner which can pull in the pages also does the job, but the magazines are trash after that. But then again, it could be less labour intensive and easier to automate. Also, you can do it at home with a simple scanner.

I do this sometimes for double printed pages of letters / scripts / my old diary. First i let my scanner pull all sheets on one site, then the other. There is a tool which can sort the pages afterwards accordingly with one click.

There are some that “suck” the current page towards the scanner head, but i think most of them rely on manually flipping the page and pressing a button to scan or make a photo.

Yes, that would be awesome. Right now most discussions regarding data hoarding are done in self hosting communities while e.g. adblocking discussions are often done here in the piracy community. That would both be communities with great potential and also even kind of fitting to the dbzer0 instance.
