Dumb problems come with dumb fixes.

Running `switcherooctl launch -g 1 vkcube` on every startup for a few seconds makes the problem go away.

ALL HAIL THE CUBE

(Shout-outs to user "tulip" on the Universal Blue discord for helping me with this ridiculous workaround)

Absolutely dumbest bug I've ever encountered.
Any games launched from Steam currently black-screen for me (but play audio), as if the graphics card has not been initialised.

However, if I launch Star Citizen first to the main menu, then close it and launch Steam, everything else works again.

Wat?!

Forever annoyed at GenAI for making the concept of robots uncool. These companies owe all the android girls on here an apology and financial compensation

Hey, I bet you didn't hear that Zork 1, 2, and 3 were open-sourced today!

…Oh, you have heard. Yeah. Way ahead of me. :)

Here's my comments, and some details that you might not have seen.

Earlier this year, we lost more than an Overseer. To some, it was a friend. Others, it was family. DVS7 was in memory of JNP-3R. Although it did not die to violence, the challenges it faced were the same as every transgender person today.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, and we remember it.

In November 1996, Adobe released Adobe Photoshop 4.0 bitmap graphics editor.

Photoshop 4.0 included new features such as adjustment layers, actions, navigator, guides & grids etc.

I don’t think Microsoft yet understands how the public views their obsession GenAI. They will come to.

The worst thing to see on a product box as an Autistic person is "NEW RECIPE" or "GREAT NEW FLAVOUR".
Sometimes it's a minor change and you can put up with it.
Sometimes it's whatever the hell Kellogg's has done to All-Bran.
That and it was a core ingredient of a family favourite treat >:(
